I just checked mine and it has no permissions. How is it collecting everything?

I have a friend who used to drink too much water. This eventually lead to him having dangerously low sodium levels but he didn’t know that. One day, he knew something was wrong and was yelling to his landlady next door to get help. He passed out outside of his apartment. Then he was in a coma for 4 days.

I asked him what the coma was like. He said he remembered having a vague sense of panic like he was still trying to get his landlady. He doesn’t remember, but when he first woke up, he was screaming her name and fighting the nurses.

It’s a little more than that. It’s a way of trustlessly proving ownership. Certainly, a company like Valve will be against NFTs because they benefit from having complete control over things like the CS skin market. But I also play Warframe. The main market is an unofficial third party web site which let’s you copy text into chat to organize a sale. It’s clunky. I think the Warframe trading situation would benefit from items being associated with an NFT so the third party service could actually make the trades rather than simply facilitate. DE benefits from trading being a bit awkward so people buy plat instead of trade for it, so that’ll never happen.

Overall, I suspect NFTs will be the most likely of the crypto ideas to actually find some real use cases. Not needing a central authority to verify ownership is too useful of an idea.

This is a very popular opinion

I kind of disagree but kind of don’t. I think most of modern urbanists don’t want cars banned, they just don’t want it to be the only practical way to get around.

Also, I’m a big gearhead. I like driving and working on cars. But I don’t like commuting in traffic, paying to keep a car out of necessity, finding parking, breakdowns. I feel so liberated and free when driving on a mountain road with the top down. I feel similarly free when I get drunk and walk home, get groceries on my bike, or read a book on the bus. I don’t think public transit is right for everyone. But I think having it as a good option alongside driving, walking, and cycling is just good city planning.

It’s literally a drop. Some grinders need it more than others because they’ll make a mess of grounds everywhere without it.

They’re not good but they get you drunk. After a while, I couldn’t even drink them without getting nauseous.

either you are messing up your final product unknowingly or realizing it’s undercooked and having to leave it in the oven for longer to make up the difference.

For frozen pizza/nuggets/etc, the cooking time is always a range. I always just put it in while it preheats and set the timer for the top of the range. Everyone’s oven and preferences are different anyway so it’s not like some exact science. If they’re underdone, I leave them in another minute. Overall it saves time.

FGC = fighting game community. A set is a match in a tournament. Usually it’s best of 3 or 5 games. Having “godly neutral” means you’re really good at getting a hit on your opponent when you’re both just walking around fishing for a hit. The rest is something to do with furries I think.

I’m this way with body wash. However with deodorant, I use a Japanese deodorant. I lived in Japan for a while, got used to it, and now American deodorants kind of hurt. I import it now. When I was working for a Japanese company, I’d have colleagues bring big boxes of it to re-up.

I think Neuromancer would work well as a heavily stylized animation.

Wouldn’t the lawyers just do it pro bono if it was a marketing thing?

I’ll check him out for sure. I really like precision engineering so anything in that vein has my attention. Nice username btw.

Rob Renzetti is about precision machining in a small shop environment. You can definitely tell he’s a precision machinist first and YouTuber second, which I like. He goes into detail on his thought process and execution for achieving extreme tolerances on parts.

Dan Gelbart is a very successful business man who made his fortune inventing new machines and building them. He now has a money-is-no-object workshop. His “building prototypes” series is a must watch for creators. The video on flexures blew my mind. He shows how to create complex, accurate machines with simple tools quickly.

Both of these guys don’t upload often. When they do, I drop what I’m doing and put my full attention into it.

HUNTER!

Torque is an app that can connect to a cheap Bluetooth plug that goes into your car’s OBD2 port. You can set up custom gauge readouts, log data, check engine codes, measure power and torque. It was very useful to me when my car was overheating since I could get a coolant temp read out. Also when my alternator died since I could get a voltage readout.

You might be right. It does seem like we’re entering another golden age of fighting games. But fighting games don’t have nearly the audience of some of the other genres. Most people who buy Mortal Kombat don’t even play online. It’s not like a lot of shooters or MOBAs where it’s a daily ritual for huge numbers of people. The people who are like that, are really like that, but it just isn’t a lot.

In the same vein: I hope they make a new Killer Instinct. PS4 was THE console for fighting games last generation. Microsoft is sitting on IP that would create a lot of hype for a sequel in the fighting game community. The dual sense controller is rumored to have a mushy D-pad while the Xbox controller has a very clicky one. Microsoft could make a real statement about fighting games having a home on the Xbox. To me, it seems like a really obvious strategic decision. The only problem is that fighting games are relatively niche so the weight of that decision isn’t too high.

Oh. Well what does it matter what we’d say? I’d wager the people in this thread aren’t her core audience.

She didn’t fail to appease the internet. She did something to make 3 of her employees not want to work for her. Maybe they just used the time away from work to re-evaluate their careers and decided to make a move with no hard feelings. Maybe it had been a terrible place to work and the announcement was the last straw. I bet they have a much more nuanced view of the situation than we do.
