They did an escape room in one of the tent booths at the last festival I went to (for a long time  ) and they managed to cram an impressive little experience into that tiny space. Lots of little puzzles and hidden messagesI'd pay good money for a tight five minute portable haunted house to be set up on my lawn

Elviscat posted:Here's A NYT article stating Bitcoin mining uses the same amount of energy as Argentina consumes per year, which is 132.69 TerraWatt-hours. Right, so if Bitcoin is pegged to the energy consumption of Argentina, we just need to reduce the Argentine energy consumption! Honestly it would not surprise me in the slightest if that shitstorm actually was designed that way.

Bitcoin is like Uber and a lot of other poo poo in that it's terminal Engineerbrain, re-inventing something that already exists and does it's job alright without thinking of any practical concerns and assuming it's better because [editor's note: find reason here]. The end case is the (thankfully parodic) Here Comes The Airplane.

Taxi service in San Francisco was absolutely abysmal when Uber got their start. They were actually solving a real problem. Bitcoin is literally step 3: profit.

Bitcoin is the attempt to generate value divorced entirely from labor, which in a sensible society would be a nonsense proposition on its very face, but we live in a different kind of place

The extremely poo poo thing is that it's all the gambling of a market plus all the front-loaded unfairness of a pyramid scheme but obviously a bunch of people HAVE gotten very wealthy from getting lucky with it so it looks very inviting to the get-rich-quick/ conspiracy theory crowd

An advantage bitcoin has over traditional pyramid schemes is actually the instability, as that gives, ostensibly, a bigger chance of winning even if you get in later

He's not THAT fast but also the villain shoots hero-seeking kill beams from his eyes at will and is basically as strong as superman (Only batman has dodged an omega beam, because he's motherfucking batman)

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles was localized to Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles in the UK. Which fits well with the law banning curved foreign swords. Curved british swords are OK, but curved foreign swords are illegal.

Mauser posted:what? quote:In the United Kingdom, the series was originally released under the name Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles (TMHT). This was due to the controversy surrounding ninjas and related weapons such as nunchaku at the time. The intro sequence was heavily edited because of this, replacing the word ninja with hero or fighting, using a digitally faded logo instead of the animated blob, and removing any scenes in which Michelangelo wields his nunchaku, replacing them with clips from the show. Scenes of Michelangelo using his nunchaku were likewise edited out of the episodes themselves, which led the American show runners to drop the weapons from the series entirely in the fourth season in order to make the show more appropriate for the international airings. The weapons were replaced with a grappling hook called the "Turtle Line" that served as Mikey's signature weapon for the rest of the show's run. The word 'ninja' was also edited out of any speech within the show, often leading to some awkward sounding dialogue. Considering that the crime problems in the UK in the late 80s to early 90s were basically 1:1 traceable to the austerity measures introduced by Margaret May-She-Burn-Forever Thatcher, banning the word "ninja" and saying people can't nail two piece of wood to a length of chain isn't going to to a drat thing.
