The tech is interesting and has applications

I used to say that, but I've given up on that idea. I've never seen a use of blockchain yet that didn't boil down to being virtual money. NFTs could have had potential as a method of trade if they were tied to real ownership of things instead of just receipts saying you bought a cartoon monkey jpeg.

But every time I think something would be a problem blockchain solves, I can always think of an existing, typically better, solution to that same problem. I think that space is too infested with grifters to attract anyone with a truly novel idea.

My dad went over the bars of a dirtbike when he was about 20 and landed hard on his shoulder, but walked it off.

Came back to haunt him with a vengeance last year almost 50 years later, super high pain in that shoulder that took a surgery to go away.

What if you want to tell someone that you're not a lawyer, but you are into anal? Then it's just efficient.

I have a Gmail for less important spammy stuff, but my email for important stuff is with mxroute. Got a $25 Black Friday deal with them last year and have my domain set up with it.

I am supporting myself fine and I don't want kids because I'd have to sacrifice the quality of life I'm living now. I couldn't maintain my current quality of life financially with a kid even if time weren't an issue.

The last vehicle to move is the one at fault, even if someone else parks right up on them.

My coworkers look at me like I'm a monster for just grabbing a fork and eating the chef boyardee spaghetti and meatballs straight out of the can.

You can bump the version number in it's build_info.json file and it'll work just fine. It's weird like that. That file is in /opt/discord/resources/ for me.

“The Copilot is like the Start button,” Nadella explains. “It becomes the orchestrator of all your app experiences. So for example, I just go there and express my intent and it either navigates me to an application or it brings the application to the Copilot, so it helps me learn, query and create — and completely changes, I think, the user habits.”

I like to put down M$ when I can, but I don't think replacing the start button is the exact plan here. I think he's just using it as a comparison.

She would probably be touched if you asked her. I say go for it.

I've had a lot of games that I found online, thought they looked fun, then discovered I actually had them in my steam library already and never once touched them.

Driver definitely didn't look confident in their ability or seem to have any kind of plan.

Political memes are just the non-grandma version of political cartoons.

Yes.

There are far too many ways for an immortality wish to make your life hell in ways that a money wish uh, wishes it could.

I see it that way. You don't dive into some strange without protection, don't let your computer do it with websites.

Chaotic evil: Send SIGSEGV

For as long as people have complained about YouTube ads even before they started the crackdown, I don't think it'll matter. Tons of people didn't block them even before the option went away.

Personally, I bit the bullet and got Premium last year because I didn't feel like maintaining a DNS solution on my wifi and like using my TV for it. YouTube is basically the main form of "TV" that I watch when I'm in a couch potato mood. Most actual TV shows that come out aren't interesting to me.

I'm not really advocating everyone just go buy premium. Even in my case I'm not jumping up and down to give Google my money by any means. But for my situation it's an expense that I justify for myself

I helped someone I know out with a thing on their computer and got blasted by ads because they didn't use an ad blocker.

Those two minutes on the Internet really had me questioning how anyone manages to use it raw without going insane.

I block ads on all my devices, but I assume they're scams by default when I do see them.
