Too healthy. My ridiculous investments shall pay for ridiculous things.
And yet you've mentioned cornettos, one of the basic daily foods.
Now I’m wondering if that means something entirely different for you than for me.

Well, at least it’s a variation on the normal themes.

@HardwareGeek that looks like something you’d find in @error’s drawer but not something I’d eat.

Why do people pay so much money for such low-effort shit? It's even in the goddamn name this time! May as well make NFTs of all the possible options in the TTD CEO face generator for exciting combinations of mustaches/earrings, glasses and hair colors and sell for thousands of $ apiece.

Y'know, whenever I think "This must be the stupidest timeline!" someone inevitably goes: "Hold my beer!"

Because they're all one-of-a-kind! And they're NFTs! You don't want to miss out on this year's tulips, do you!?

@dkf There is more to be found in the replies. Uses for blockchain (including a bunny-shaped iron maiden), and some author bio showing her to be fully entrenched in the swamp of people who loves shitcoins and NFTs, because "muh freedoms".

The story would be much more fun if the cybernetic bunny wasn't sent back to medieval times to hype everyone about blockchain but instead to 2008, and there's also a wolf sent back to stop him from destroying climate and everyone's forehead.

@MrL Maybe there's a hidden message if you only look at the shadows?

It may take you a few decades, but yes. It will stop.

Kind of. Those are not shadows, but silhouettes of guards and waiters.

Oh, I see now... I just saw that as guards added at the edges and the waiters as completely wrong shadows of the 2 sitting there.

The Block recently reported on a trader who borrowed 3.5 ETH (around $12,000) on NFTFi, offering an NFT that had last sold for 3.25 ETH. Over the next three months, the value of NFTs from the same collection skyrocketed to around $300,000 on the low end. On October 10, the loan period ended, the borrower failed to repay the loan, and the NFT—now worth many times more than the original loan—was taken.

Oh! That reminds me, I apparently have some muns in Keybase currency.
Who wants $522 not-exactly-USD?
If anyone wants to send me some, I guess my Stellar address is

@Tsaukpaetra said in A fool and his not-really-money are soon parted:
in Keybase
At some point I apparently also uploaded a PGP private key there too.
There's supposed to be a way to get it back (since I'm 142 percent certain the original 0L5 device does not have it whatsoever) but the passphrase is incorrect.
Well... shit. Hope that's not important or anything...

Thanks to @ender again.

Obligatory Epic bash:
Over on the Epic Games Store, CEO Tim Sweeney's messaging has been a bit mixed. Earlier this year, he said Epic wouldn't get involved with NFTs.
"We aren’t touching NFTs as the whole field is currently tangled up with an intractable mix of scams, interesting decentralized tech foundations, and scams," Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney tweeted last month.
After news broke that Steam was changing its guidelines, Sweeney tweeted that the Epic Games Store will in fact welcome the use of blockchain tech.

@Applied-Mediocrity Why do I get the feeling that if Steam would explicitly say they are banning all forms of child pornography, Epic would go out and welcome such content with open arms...

Yeah, but then Steam would lose a lot of sales on animated story games.

@PleegWat There's a video in the Tweet I posted above.

@JBert They really should have included a locking function controlled with a custom bluetooth protocol which can be controlled by any iDevice (but of course not by the mac pro mounted on them).

You just have to buy a license (one per wheel, obviously). Just download it to your iPhone (won't work with other phones) and hold the QR code near each wheel. It's Apple. It'll JustWork.

The wheels, as well as the $1k monitor stand, serve a commercial purpose. They're essentially halo products, and they help Apple make themselves seem like a luxury brand and not just an electronics company like they actually are.
$19 for an Apple cloth is a whole $1 cheaper than the Audi cloth at least. It's almost a bargain
