pretty sure i've already played a web3 business simulation. it involved buying tactical clubs, weasel dust, and burning your house down

ah but i guess that was pre-nft and just crypto. downright sane by comparison when i think about it as that was at a time when bitcoin could be relatively easily exchanged for useful things (drugs), something that has never been true for apes

yeah, i love the fable games, but the things that are good about them are almost all things entirely unrelated to the things molyneux talked about.

and that's sort of the thing really, he talks a lot of garbage but the hit-rate of games he's involved in is pretty drat high.

can only hope that this latest thing launches without all the crypto nonsense and it turns out to just have been molyneux being molyneux.

Some gas station owners are falling victim to a sophisticated scam. Scammers are using cellphone's Bluetooth option to hack the pump - and get it for free.

"I wish it would go back to $1.99 - it’s almost $4," said Tywanna Coleman. "I get why people are doing it but it’s still not right."

Paying at the pump is for chumps - when you can get gas for free - and illegal, but it didn’t stop a Detroit man from stealing almost 800 gallons of gas at the Shell at Eight Mile and Wyoming.

"They just open the pump for them automatically," said Mo, the gas station owner.

FOX 2: "And then cars just keep coming up and filling up?"

"Yeah they meet up with them and tell them to come over here," he said.

When Mo says "open the pump" the thief – overrides the system, basically hacking in using a Bluetooth connection from his phone, as a kind of remote. Then, it’s a free-for-all.

FOX 2: "How many gallons have they got from you guys?

"From us, about 800," Mo said.

That’s just shy of $3,000. And when the clerks inside try to stop it - they can’t.

"Every time we push Pump Three stop, it wasn’t doing anything," he said. "We have to shut off the whole pumps - we have emergency stops."
