Well no, in my example the shirt is the image and the signature on it is the NFT bit. Physically, it’s just a bit of ink, but the shirt itself is no different than one you can go pickup at the store.

Whenever I see these Musk posts, I always marvel at how people seem to think one man builds spaceships, programs self-driving cars, pushes all the buttons on Twitter, and does all the research himself on monkeys.

Try telling that to sports memorabilia collectors though.

“Look at my hockey jersey!” “Yeah, so? I have the same one.” “Yeah but you’re wasn’t signed by Wayne Gretsky.”

Or even trading cards, or comics. Or hell, even plain w-shirts with a brand logo on it for $250. People assign arbitrary values to stuff all the time. I don’t understand it at all, but there’s a whole ton of people that just eat that shit up like it’s candy.

Doing some top quality research here:

Mattress Types and Sex Suitability

I had never heard of it either. I had PIA when I was on Windows, still haven’t gotten it setup on Linux though.

A dedicated KVM would be a better option but I’m not willing to spend that much money.

Honestly the worst part about a dedicated KVM, at least for a home setup, is the 30lbs of thick bulky cables.

How a being of inordinate power and knowledge even exists would ‘feel’ or ‘think’ is indeed incomprehensible to us. It’s hubris to believe an entity with the power to create a universe could look down, at a single point in time, at a single place in the universe, and think “I’m really angry that creature masturbated” or “That woman showed her face in public, well she’s dead to me now”.

And that’s exactly what religion wants us to believe. That we’re somehow special in the universe, and there’s some grand entity that watches over every single little thing we do throughout the blip of our lives in the eternity of the cosmos. It’s honestly fucking bonkers.

I refuse to believe that a being incalculable in power and knowledge, omnipotent, able to see both the past and the future, is somehow, according to what religious people want you to believe, burdened by what we humans experience as emotions or morality.

This, the difficulty of simply paying for the things you want. I used to pirate music back in the IRC/pre-Napster days, and then iTunes came out. “I can just click a button and the song is on my computer, high quality, no fuss?” That was the end of music pirating for me.

I have Amazon Prime and I’ve tried Netflix in the past. The amount of time I spent sorting through their shit movies to find something worth watching was abysmal, not to mention no way to filter out the huge influx of low-budget non-English content.

Not necessarily. If all I wanted was ‘cake’, then sure, I’d go for the free cake and the people selling cakes would lose out.

But the people who are selling cakes have to give me a reason to buy from them. It has to be a better tasting cake, it has to be delivered faster, it has to be fresher. If the people selling cakes can’t do that, then it’s their shitty business model, and not the fault of the people giving cakes away for free.

Take GIMP vs Photoshop for example. Photoshop is objectively better than GIMP, which is why people still pay for it. Now if Adobe decides to just sit on their laurels and one day GIMP improves and passes them in terms of capability, then that’s Adobe’s shitty business model, and not GIMP’s fault.

The vegans of the software world.

PS, I run Arch.

I’m using qutebrowser as my daily driver, and which it doesn’t have extentions it does have a basic adblocker. The really useful thing I found though was a greasemonkey script that just sets the playing speed of youtube adds to “Ludicris Speed”, so the creators still get paid.

There’s a couple of scenes in the Arlong Park arc. Nami bawling her eyes out and finally asking Luffy for help, the desk scene, and then the other one I was referring to was Vivi holding up her arm saying goodbye as they realized she couldn’t come with them.

But I was really surprised at how emotional it was, especially with Uta’s motivations and backstory.

There’s a couple of scenes in the first two seasons that just thinking about years later makes me tear up. – old man

21, all year round. When the sun hits the windows and I don’t have the shades down, and it creeps up to 23, I can’t definitely feel it.

Bidets are amazing. I had one for years until I moved (current toilet would be rather difficult to install an attachment to) and holy crap do I ever miss it.

I have one as well. Did the firmware update a few months ago when it would periodically just start skipping or stop responding (I have my music collection on it). Haven’t had an issue since.

So it looks pretty much like the same story from the movie, even has the same cast (doing voice over instead of acting).

So… why?

I remember before I had the internet wondering why companies had ads for “http://” and others were on “www” and having no clue if I needed to buy a special internet to access each.
