Weirdly enough, despite the hype of NFTs, that's what they were being used for in the background of the bullshit.
Small artists were and still are using it to sell their work internationally, where they can tailor their own contracts that people, by default, agree to by purchasing.
They were used by people to control and verify their ownership of sensitive digital media as well.
The only counterpoint I can think of is that the distributed ledger is much harder to fuck with than a physical or digital archive with a couple backups.
I'm pretty blockchain neutral. I took an interest in it at one point, did some graphics work for a few companies so I learned the ropes. So yeah, I agree with the statement that OP's making a few leaps in logic.
There are a lot of corrupt as fuck companies working in blockchain because of a weird cryptobro need to reinvent the wheel of finance, but blockchain is still kinda neat. Sending funds internationally is easier, in my experience. Moving funds across borders can be a pain in the ass through a bank if you don't do it often - with crypto it's a few clicks.
This is from my old crypto knowledge before I stopped working with those folks, but there was a company in africa that launched a mesh network that spanned across multiple countries, using crypto as both the payment and the fee for spreading the signal or using it. Then there were at least a couple cases of people securing control of personal, sensitive media by tokenizing it as an NFT - which I understand was done as a faster and cheaper alternative to copyrighting internationally.
Again, I can not state enough how not a crypto bro I am, because it seems like standing in the middle of the road makes me too block-chain friendly for the internet. I've been involved peripherally to a few things that made me go "Huh, that's actually pretty cool."
That's a good point, people make nodes because the incentive helps make sure there are enough servers on the network to keep it secure.
However, back in the days before blockchain we had SETI. So a case could be made that people will volunteer resources for something that mutually benefits them. Protecting ourselves from doctored media and deepfakes would be a pretty good incentive.
Then again, there are a lot of different cryptos tied to tasks already - like using phones as nodes in a mesh network, using a decentralized search engine, learning about crypto itself, etc. If blockchain turned out to be a good way to verify media, there could be a pay off for joining the distributed ledger.
Huh both those articles confirm what I said and say the claim might be a prank.
I don't know what this has to do with being wrong about where vinegar comes from.
If that is in fact a thing, it's marketing and fermentation doesn't work that way. And raises a lot of interesting question about how they manage to clear FDA guidelines. I wonder if their candida is isolated and propagated in controlled conditions? More likely it's a lie.
The yeast that colonizes humans is a different species altogether and doesn't produce alcohol, at least not in concentrations high enough to make wine.
Actually would love an expert to come in on this, I learned about it long ago but have forgotten the details.
Anyway, I know enough to say they could add their natural spice to the mix, but they need wine yeast to make the alcohol which will quickly out-compete whatever strains they're shlipping in there.
If you end up with vinegar, it's because of the yeast. Yeast is naturally everywhere, so when you're fermenting you can either use chemicals or heat to sterilize your mash (whatever you're fermenting) to help make sure only the yeast you add is populating the batch. Otherwise, yeah, the natural yeasts that are already on the fruit, grains or whatever will do their own thing.
Keep in mind there are similar flavours to vinegar that can be produced even if there's little to no acetic acid present, like sour beers that use lactobacillus or if you boil your grains too hot for too long on a dark beer.
You're all wrong. Different strains of yeast are used in making vinegar. Oxygen is integral to primary fermentation in both wine and vinegar but in secondary and bottling it is minimized because oxidation negatively affects the flavor. If you end up with vinegar when you tried to make wine, it's because yeast that produce vinegar got into your brew.
I've dated a few people who seemed progressive, and I'm a woke-ass queer, but names were a sticking point. I have a complicated welsh travesty of a name I would happily trade in for something shorter - so when I got engaged and I didn't like his name either, and neither did he, I suggested we both pick something new and change our names together. I mean, if it's no big deal for me to change my name, it shouldn't be for him either, right?
Anyway, I'm single now.
I knew one that said "Meh" so I assume they all do it.
When he said "Her husband..." and another skink came out, I lost it. I hope they had a wedding. I hope there was a reception. I want to know the guest list.
I predicted this. I said if we ever tried to block politics it would devolve into nitpicking what is and isn't political.
But to answer the question: If your computer shit is about due for a upgrade, don't wait.
Grocery prices would probably keep going up no matter who got elected, so gardening supplies would be a good investment over time. Along with gardening comes the peripheral skills of cooking and preserving when it'll hurt your soul to see any of your sweet baby tomatoes go to waste.
