Lice dice

Ew.

And it makes everything take twice as long. Just leave the right size scoop in the can (don’t drink coffee, so idk how much, maybe 1/4 cup?) and you don’t need to find anything, just do the one or two scoops.

That’s how I learned and it’s fantastic when my kids “help”. I never know whether we did 4 or 6 cups (we aim for 5) because they keep doing little half scoops. So I guess and use the finger method after rinsing the rice. Perfect rice every time.

Yeah, we used to live right next to one and it was fantastic. Then we moved and now it’s about 20 min away, so I now go to Costco and the grocery store since there both a mile or two away.

Right, I misspoke. The NFT proves you own a specific token related to the image. On that sense you “own” the image, but that doesn’t confer any additional rights to use/manipulate/redistribute/etc the image that others don’t have. All it does is prove that, on a given blockchain, you own that image/token of the image.

The link says you own the link, and that’s provable via cryptographic checks. Anyone can verify whether you own the link.

And yeah, you could make an NFT of a different link to that same image, but that doesn’t change whether I own my link. Or if the NFT does a content hash, you could slightly change one pixel and make that link, but I still probably own my link.

No, there’s no transfer of copyright ownership, it’s merely proof that you own the token on a given blockchain for that JPEG. You don’t get any additional rights to the JPEG vs anyone else, just the ownership of the token. So people can verify that you own the token, and that’s about it.

Yeah, people are idiots, even smart people. They get blinded by the possibility of getting rich quick that they ignore the potential downsides.

I personally thought cryptocurrency would be big and considered buying some BTC when it was worth a few hundred. But then I stopped to think about it and decided it’s basically gambling that more people will jump on the bandwagon, so I’m basically profiting off suckers and betting that I’m not the sucker. So I steered clear. I followed the same logic for NFTs and other fads, and instead invested in broad index funds. I could’ve been rich, but I also could’ve lost it all by trying to time the ups and downs.

I’m happy with my decision. I’m on track for a decent retirement and haven’t had much financial anxiety.

For the last time, it wasn’t $20k/$500k for a JPEG, it was for the rights to a jpeg. Everyone can see and use the JPEG, but only you could prove you owned it.

Interesting, I wonder if they’re interchangeable then. In Tagalog (and probably other Filipino languages), d morphs to r when conjugated, and people are inconsistent in practice about that. I wonder if Chichewa has something similar, but with r and l.

Probably just a goof.

I’m not very familiar with African languages, but other areas with broad language diversity (Philippines, India) tend to have very similar phonology across regional languages since they tend to be in the same language family.

I’ve found that I mostly worry about the unknown, and if I can understand what those unknowns are, I can replace the anxiety with dread.

I didnt read the whole thing, but it seems similar to concepts in Zen Buddhism and seems to boil down to:

• align what you care about to things you can directly control
• spend as little time/effort possible on things you can’t control
• never attribute to yourself things you didn’t cause to happen
• always look for what you can control in a given situation

The examples there are great, such as seeing sickness or injury as a hinderance to your options, not your ability to choose. If you can frame things in terms of what you can and can’t control, and then make decisions on how to deal with them, you put a lot of things that would cause anxiety outside yourself and can limit focus to things you can control. For example, I can’t control whether my boss gives me a raise, but I can control how I present myself to that boss and whether to look for other job opportunities.

If you’re going to pass, you should speed up until you pass then return to whatever the limit is. If you’re not going to pass, stay behind the truck and slow down as needed.

In UT there are signs saying “keep right except to pass,” yet pretty much everyone camps in the left lane, to the point where the second to the left lane is often faster. It’s never enforced and only occasionally observed outside populated areas.

Some cursory research shows Malawi’s national language (Chichewa) has R and it’s pronounced similar to the Spanish R, and they have a separate letter for L, which is pronounced like the English.

Sure. My rule of thumb is I move over when I can see both headlights in my rear-view mirror. That gives them a wide enough berth that they should have time to stop even if I need to hit the brakes soon after passing.

The only reason IMO to pass on the right is to avoid an accident or move over for someone getting pulled over on the left side of the freeway. To make that work, police need to enforce the “stay right except to pass” rule.

Idk, once there’s a third, that’s not a family anymore, it’s an orgy.

Passing on the right is incredibly dangerous. The law should be, “stay right except to pass.” If everyone followed that rule, we’d all get where we’re going with minimal drama. If you’re not going faster than the vehicle to your right, or there is no vehicle to your right, move over!

If we enforced that law over speed enforcement, road rage would likely drop, reducing accidents and improving traffic flow.

If you’re actively passing someone, sure. But as soon as you’re done, move over to let someone else pass. I’m also more than happy to sit behind a big truck passing a much slower big truck because I know how much that sucks, and as soon as they pass, they move over.

I highly doubt this driver is passing either truck anytime soon. They’re just camping in the left land and probably don’t even realize there’s someone behind them (much less a konga line) because why would a narcissist need to check who’s behind them?
