Vargo posted:For years my big complaint about James Allen's run was that he is a climate-change denier, and environmental strip Mark Trail should be handled by someone who cares about the environment. Don't be blinded by nostalgia, James Allen was also very bad at art and storytelling. EasyEW posted:Our Boarding House I like the look of OBH. Is this the calarts style? And I really think smiling Eppie Hog is a wonderful face. riderchop posted:Heathcliff Oh god, bitcoin is continuing to spread in the funny pages. There's still a prize for the first cartoonist who demonstrates that they understand it though.

Because even if technology changes people don't. I like to use google maps and just plonk down in remote areas with the google road view mode or whatever it's called.

Murdstone posted:I was thinking this exact same thing as I was posting it. The entire premise makes zero sense and I can only assume she just wanted to shove "NFTs are BAD" into Mark Trail. She's barely giving a reason even why they are bad beyond they vaguely use more energy. If this is an attempt to inform readers of the downsides of NFTs—which I think could be valuable—she's doing a poor job of it. Similarly to with zebra mussels (where the problem is ballast water, not hull hitchhikers) Rivera seems not to have bothered to actually research the subject she's bringing up. Proof-of-work blockchains do indeed use obscene amounts of energy, but other protocols like proof-of-stake use literally orders of magnitude less and NFTs on those are not an ecological issue. I think Solana, which is proof-of-stake, is the leading host for NFTs. Etherium, which *is* proof-of-work, is second, but planning to transition to proof-of-stake. The ultra-piggish Bitcoin blockchain, which is the one restarting coal mines, can't do NFTs at all. So the whole issue Rivera is ranting about is on the way out. NFTs are still a Ponzi issue, and most current NFTs are objectively useless, but Rivera isn't discussing those real issues. Now an interesting story would be that Cricket Bro's been faking his sales and is now trying to spin up a fake buyer fraud in NFTs to embezzle the money he needs. But Rivera apparently isn't the one to write it.

Vater und Sohn: The big inheritance (10/1937) One door closes, by way of a fradulently sold whale destroying Vater und Sohn's house, but another opens. For historic reasons it's quite hard to work out exactly what two million Reichsmark would be worth today. As best as I can work it out, it equates to about $500,000. Which is maybe not the set-for-life sum you'd picture inheriting, but does catapult a middle-ish class family of two into a higher tax bracket pretty solidly.

It's a pretty standard competitive practice As is retailers putting out specials on stuff they know they're out of in order to hurt their competitors who will be forced to honor the sale Lol capitalism

 Well, if you're a teacher of 13-year-old males, it's kind of your job to at least try.  Luann, you were the one who was bent over crying all over your kitchen table, but okay.
