But it was a great way to tell your wife not to make pork for dinner. At least until it caught on beyond the intended market.

>A six-figure salary to study whether the electric grid is racist is absolutely excessive How so? Doesn't seem any more ridiculous than any other six-figure job.

Right? My conversation problems all stem from my own dislike of talking about myself.

Well of course presenting three seperate people's ideas, some of whom are refuting each other, as one continuous argument will come out looking ridiculous.

And Sigmund Freud a few decades before that. They're not slow on the uptake, even the false-memory crowd are a reaction to the idea of buried traumatic memory.

"Bought out" is a common enough way to describe any company sale. "Sold itself" introduces way more unnecessary sub-textual baggage just by being a more unusual construction.

Mike Birbiglia has a whole one man show centered around being ordered to pay damages on the drunk driver who hit him - due to a sloppily written police report.

I said this upstream, but I have clear memories of borrowing tapes of stuff people had recorded off their tv in the 90s and having exactly these kinds of glitches. I think we're seeing the difference between a professionally recorded v

My family didn't really mess with VHS recording growing up, but I do remember getting shitty tapes from friends' families who had recorded stuff off tv and seeing glitches like this. Could just be the vhs player/recorders did

You could append this to any statement though.

I think you have it backwards, it was technology rendering the difference between the two obsolete that brought capitalization about. Latin just used one script or the other depending on use-case, it was when we had printing presses that we

The characters we think of as lower case were starting to take familiar forms around the 3rd century, but they were just the handwritten form of the language. One set of letters with clear sharp lines that can be worked into stone, and anot

The whole IKEA experience is designed to get you to leisurely browse through their showroom, so that later when you're at home thinking about getting a new TV stand you're picturing the one you saw at IKEA. The food is less to dra

Yeah, rent and labor alone make up most of the cost involved in restaurant food, the food cost itself is usually marginal. I'd imagine the rent for the space used up by the cafe is decently under what it would be to lease a comparable

But if we're talking about restaurant business plans, the franchisee has far more claim to being a restaurant.

I'd assume part of the artistic statement being made here ties exactly to your point about land. It's ultimately just ALL certificates that are unconnected to possession of the physical space. The difference between owning the NFT

Okay, but moon certificates seem even MORE equivalent to baseball cards. I don't think you understand my objection, I completely agree that NFTS are inherently worthless: I just don't think that's an exceedingly unique proper

Sure, but this NFT was specifically valued for the interaction of the sale of this NFT. Just like buying Dorsey's Tweet is. It's just pure commoditized interaction without a base good under it. I do agree that it's completely

I really don't understand your point. I can print trading cards for my cat. You can make NFTs for your couch. No one wants to buy either. But if the MLB or John Cleese are selling, the equation changes.

The parent comment specified elderly in nursing homes, which is statistically correct. The 80 year old with 30 years of nursing home life ahead of them is a wealthy anomaly.

> Who can make a 50's era baseball card? Any decently print operation? The MLB would come after them if they tried to sell them, of course, but it's not like pictures on cardstock is a tougher technology to recreate than NFT. B

If Bob buys a movie prop lightsaber for $10,000 and a fully quality replica costs $200, then Bob has only bought $200 worth of something he can display, loan out, or hold. The remainder of the price is made up of the intangible connection t

I'm not sure how it looked when you saw it, but the current iteration reads like a beat poem. I'd hardly call it trollish, and would reach for satire before sarcasm.

No print has the same physical presence as being able to see the layering of the paint on canvas. It's not a fully 2D medium.

My assumption is that individual people's preferences are an insignificantly small data point compared to thousands of years of solar-based time schemes that our ancestors seemed to get by just fine with.

Because it's the traditional marker for midday. You said yourself that different people want light at different times of day, so trying to accommodate people's needs like that will always fail someone. Why not skew as close to tra

You think people would really move away? It's just one guy, you just gotta knock him off a bridge. And if the simplest solutions to problems of governance become violence, rather than the system itself, then you have failed at the main
