I slept through the new year so hopefully that means it will be good. Though I think I also slept through the last two so I dunno. Happy new year regardless! I started as I mean to go on, arguing with people on the internet.

Also I think a lot of the "big" nfts are literally not hand drawn, they are assembled out of parts generated by a computer with quantifiable "rarities" because yes the entire point is artificial scarcity for the sake of it.

Yes this is the funny bit, like I also probably wouldn't be able to tell, but the funny part is when people who think they're absolutely king poo poo get got and then completely lose their loving minds about it. Also "robert zands" is a play on bobby sands so that one at least is quite funny.

I suppose initially the only people interested in it would be the "enthusiasts" and the more widespread it becomes (and exposed to people who don't have piles of money to throw away on useless poo poo) the more common the "this seems like a massive scam" idea would become. Because it pretty obviously is, you need to be primed with a lot of stupid techbro brain to actually believe it can be anything other than an insane speculation racket.

keep punching joe posted:I refuse to learn what a block chain is. It's just a transaction log, except instead of having like, a bank, which can be audited by the government if they start randomly taking money out of your account, holding the transaction log, you instead have millions of computers constantly doing maths to try and establish a consensus reality of the transaction log, and you have to keep adding computing power to this because the more transactions the amount of maths goes up exponentially (this is by design) and also if anyone got control of enough of the computers they could just make up whatever they wanted. this is Progress, and better than Banks and Statist Fiat Currency.

Strom Cuzewon posted:So, firstly, anyone who mixes comparisons like this should be shot. I have no intuition for how many power plants there are worldwide or even per state. 25 certainly sounds like a lot but is it? The comparison doesn't impart any information. And "more power than electric water heaters, cooking appliances, clothes dryers, dishwashers, or freezers" technically is comparing it to those things individually, but by slamming them into a list it reads as if its more than them combined. What they mean is "your gaming rig isa sizable chunk of a households electricty bill", which isn't exactly noteworthy. If you ban videogames people will have to do other things, which definitely will not involve driving cars anywhere.

I wanted to do a praxis and also stuff my face by making non kellogs rice crispy squares, and the most popular recipe calls for "tablespoons" of butter. How the gently caress do you measure butter in a tablespoon???

Tarnop posted:The density of butter is about 0.9g/ml and a tablespoon is 15 ml. I have resorted to trying to figure this out and this is about the number I got too, I am more just absolutely loving baffled at how you are supposed to actually measure it, because it's a unit of volume for something that doesn't loving fit in a spoon. Yes you can gouge out chunks of it with a spoon but unless you just melt a giant bucket of it and ladle it out you aren't getting level spoonfulls of the stuff.

If you get enough concrete in the right shape you can sail it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concrete_ship There's one sunk off the east cliff at whitby. Sticks out when the tide is low.

I was more thinking just about the notion that the electricity of a computer is just "wasted" when you're presumably not just firing it out of your house, presumably it should be counted for the utility of the task you're doing with it and also for its heating usage. I don't think that really applies to making up useless things to do with your computer as an excuse to run it though, as in crypto.

I think what is being described is a butter dish with a water seal, but I don't know where the "upside down" comes in. Perhaps it is some sort of butter isomer.

I asked for a chip splash a while ago and they gave me the gravy in a little cup, so I put my fork in it and it literally stood up in the gravy, and then I drank the gravy when i had finished the chips.

It was definitely gravy but it was good chippy gravy which means that it was gelatinous.
