In the event one is transferred but not both then the previous owner should be able to claim that it is theirs and then the state voids and reissues both. ‘Don’t buy a car without the title’ would just become ‘don’t buy a car without the title and the corresponding other thing’

Kinda. I mean, my car titles are just sitting in a safe somewhere. Probably easier to just steal and part out a car than it is to do fancy title tricks but I digress. If someone managed to swipe them it’d be a pain in the ass at a minimum.

Ticketmaster, they just dump tickets in user’s accounts that are somehow getting hacked left and right. But, since they’re accounts at Ticketmaster, you have the password and they also have the password (hopefully hashed). If they instead had users associate a wallet to their account, Ticketmaster could instead dump ‘NFT tickets’ to the wallet, you can keep the wallet cold, go to the event, flash a QR code along the way, and you’d be the only person with the password and it Ticketmaster got hacked your tickets wouldn’t be compromised.

I don’t think it’s good to go burning gas on high frequency transactions like concert tickets but it kinda highlights how having that additional layer can make things slightly more bulletproof, without making things too much of a pain.

But also in terms of a compromised blockchain, I bet it’s 800 times easier to do some social engineering and gain access to a filing cabinet

Hypothetically if it had more acceptance NFTs/contracts could be used for authentication/verification of all sorts of things. You buy a house, county clerk files proof of your ownership away, they could do the same kind of stuff on the block chain as well, make something like title fraud a lot more difficult to pull off. Deed accompanied by a transferrable little nugget of data on the block chain, that type of deal. Backing up data is important and with this you basically plaster it onto 8 million different hard drives around the world with the snap of a finger

True, but it’s not a competition. When big tech tightens their belts NVDA starves to death

For starters, don’t explain the fundamentals of the blockchain to someone unless you’re done waterboarding them and walking them back to their cell.

It’ll implode but there are much larger elephants in the room - geopolitical dumbassery and the suddenly transient nature of the CHIPS Act are two biggies.

Third, high flying growth, blue sky darlings, they’re flaky. In a downturn growth is worth 0 fucking dollars, throw that shit in a dumpster and rotate into staples. People can push off a phone upgrade or new TV and cut down on subscriptions, but they’ll always need Pampers.

The thing propping up AI and semis is an arms race between those high flying tech companies, so this whole thing is even more prone to imploding than tech itself, since a ton of revenue comes from tech. Sensitive sector supported by an already sensitive sector. House of cards with NVDA sitting right at the tippy top. Apple, Facebook, those kinds of companies, when they start trimming back it’s over.

But, it’s one of those things that is anyone’s guess. When you think it’s not even possible for everything to still have steam one of the big guys like TSMC posts some really delightful earnings and it gets another second wind, for the 29th time.

Definitely a house of cards tho, and suddenly a lot more precarious because suddenly nobody knows how policy will affect the industry or the market as a whole

They say shipping is the bellwhether of the economy and there’s a lot of truth to that. I think semis are now the bellwhether of growth. Sit back and watch the change in the wind

Since you’re married, I consider the bar for ‘red flag’ to be quite a bit higher, but the answer to this depends on some missing context.

It’s only a red flag if they have unreasonable expectations to the point that it’s harmful to either of you, and they aren’t willing to entertain the notion that the problem might not actually be the perceived lack of attention/companionship but rather the unreasonable amount they’re expecting.

Healthy relationships are founded on vulnerability, emotional intimacy, selflessness, being able to have real candid discussions on problems and come together to work towards a solution. It’s not that healthy relationships are always devoid of unhealthy things, it’s that the parties are willing to come together and fix the bad stuff.

That said, it’s not a red flag if they’re feeling this way due to totally unreasonable expectations, even if they’re convinced that the expectations are very reasonable, just so long as they’re able to acknowledge that your feelings matter too and that this is causing strife and it’s something they’re willing to at least try to find some sort of compromise or middle ground.

And it’s definitely not a red flag if they have very reasonable expectations by anyone’s standards and they simply aren’t being met.

But boil it down and the only red flag is if they or you would rather build a trench between you two rather than coming to the table willing to discuss how to navigate through it

The twin cities are great but 45 miles out in any direction and you’re in the land of pickup trucks and Trump flags. Or Wisconsin.

I think we might actually need to implement some sort of grading system for his infractions lest we get desensitized to the steady stream

Edit: I suddenly realize I’m not ready for even hearing “testing legal precedent” for the next 4 years let alone all the other shit going on

National Guard gonna be wishing they enlisted active duty right about now

It’s always: the reason you can’t afford shit is because the people being exploited harder than you will now be exploited a little less.

It’s never: the reason you can’t afford shit is because the people exploiting you are exploiting the everliving fuck out of you.

That’s a different thing entirely. On topic:

Any constitutional oath is a directive that can be superceded by no man. If someone attempts to amend the constitution without ratification, we’re bound by oath to not acknowledge such a change. If we’re given orders that violate the consitution, we’re bound by oath to not acknowledge those orders.

Ideally, nobody who made an oath to uphold the constitution will fuck with a ballot. They won’t sieze land, they won’t use force on or unlawfully detain civilians, none of that, and if push comes to shove that is a hill people will ideally fight and die on. Trump can’t make us do a god damned thing if it means turning our back on the constitution. The buck stops there.

You can soapbox about how we need reform, but that’s a different topic entirely

I’m from Minnesota and I used to run to and from work and go trail running on pretty desolate mixed use trails, so my advice might not applicable if you aren’t running in that kind of environment, but here goes:

I’d go way overboard on the digits and the ears, toasty when standing around, and layer my core fairly light: underarmor-type long sleeve compression, long sleeve shirt, then fleece or a windbreaker (full zipper). Basically kinda chilly but not shivering when standing around. If it’s like -20F I bust out the wool, balaclava (sp?), and ski goggles. Goal is to be able to unzip and open things up and not get too hot and sweaty, not rely on physical activity to keep fingers and toes warm. When it’s too cold and you aren’t crossing paths with many people, an easily-overlooked danger is injury or incapacitation. You wanna be dressed to the point that you could just lie on the ground for a couple hours, take a nap, and not wind up with frostbite (or worse), because ice is fun and shit happens. If you’re gonna be running in that kind of cold, it’s a good thing to keep in mind, kinda like how people say to throw a blanket in the trunk just in case your car breaks down, you’ll probably never use it but it’s good to plan around a bad scenario

so long as we are willing to defend it

You are correct in that the Constitution alone can’t stand the test of time. In fact, I implied such.

That’s one option but I prefer the ‘AS I WAS SAYING’ because then the entire restaurant starts listening
