Yup, same here. My shop is FILLED with Brown Recluse spiders. You just learn to live with them: don't stick your hands into dark holes. Blow on them, and they run away like little bitches. I feel like a lot of venomous animals get a bad rap. I will be the first person to step up and defend rattlesnakes, for example. I'd rather have them roaming my property than have rats inside my house. People in India have learned to live with cobras, but somehow, Texas rednecks believe that the only good rattler is a dead one. (Now stay tuned for 'Nerds to tell us about the latest defenseless animal he shot. Film at 11.)
I just ordered my sister a birthday gift like 6 weeks late. She's gonna think I'm high off my ass but I am totally sober. The sappy reasoning is that I meant to but forgot, and then mother's day reminded me of the best moms I know, which includes her. What would you think if you got a gift that late?
I don't have anything really venomous living in my area but what spiders and other nasties I see I tend to leave alone. The exception is wasps. I'll destroy any wasp next on my property because the fuckers are territorial and won't leave me alone.
a few days ago, armadillo at about 150 yards with a 308. Jumped up like one of those shitty homemade rockets
It turns out hubs is not the biggest fan of silken pies. He ate one slice. There are 3 cups of heavy cream in this pie. This information should curb my behavior but it does not. Someone save me from myself.
Was. I thought pregnancy or something cured me, but as time goes on I think it was totally abstaining from dairy for such a long time (baby had a problem with dairy protein) that allowed lactose to build up in my gut again. I had zero problems with dairy for over a month of eating it again but large amounts of it are starting to making me gassy again. There, now you're filled in.
No. He just begs me to use lactase pills again and speaks passive aggressively to the baby about how much mommy stinks.
Can someone explain to me NFTs? Just read the Disaster Girl meme girl, kid smirking in front of a burning house (who is a college senior now....), just sold an NFT of it for six figures. I get, say, an artist creates something and makes one before it’s made widely available online. Something like the Disaster Girl thing is kind of confusing as this one off rarity is applied retroactively to something that has a billion digital copies because they said so? What?
Those two situations really aren't that different. An NFT is, for all intents and purposes, simply an unforgeable digital signature. It's not that much different from a real, physical signature. So why sign a copy of a book when there are thousands of copies already in print? Because, like the NFT, it's simply a collectable. A way of saying, "this is special, and it's mine." Disaster Girl basically just signed a digital print of her meme. It's the only one like it in the world. I don't know what the sale document looks like to know what other kinds of rights were conferred, maybe the sale of the NFT also included commercial rights to use it, so perhaps it's not as mind-numbingly dumb as it seems. Or perhaps it is.
Wow, can al the CONTENT GOLD photoshop and caption this threads from TMMB be dug up and make money for people? Surely they were copied . . . dozens of times.
You know how the art world is filled with money laundering? Now imagine the same thing, but with cryptocurrency.
Think of trading cards. Sometimes they'll foil stamp one as 1/1 along with some other modifying of the print process. Voila! Totally unique, highly sought after, and expensive as hell.
I've been trying to understand NFTs since they became a thing. Go figure I gain a complete understanding of them on a place named "the idiot board."
Yeah, NFT’s are retarded. You’re buying claim to something you can’t truly own or have exclusively, you’re basically purchasing free oxygen. People will continue to use the meme without permission or consequence, and it’s “owner” will have no bragging rights because people will think they’re a fucking idiot.
Absolutely not, those people are not the subject of ridicule. I’m not making fun of people who make money. I’m making fun of the fucking losers who would be stupid enough to spend money on something they simply cannot own in they way you CAN own an actual, physical piece of art. People can argue that “it’s the same thing” all they want, it’s NOT the same thing. And like the dorks with their E-versions of “Magic” cards, either you have the real thing, or you have nothing. This is getting ridiculous.
