    Believe it or not, NFT Real Estate is actually a thing...

    I guess when we all get digitalized into the matrix, it'll all work out.

    Saw grossed a bi;;ion dollars?, seriously disturbing

    Toxic.  So is just about all reality television, particularly when you learn that reality TV has roles for "director" and "writer".  Huh?

    My friend's kids were watching/making fun of some "reality" show where couples were screaming at each other about some idiotic offenses against each other... after a few minutes I pointed out the camera angles made no sense if the argument was being filmed in real time because the person being yelled at would have to be invisible for the shot to align. 
    Even though they were making fun of the show, they started to notice how fake everything was, including shots where the lighting in the view out the window would change back and forth indicating quite a bit of time between shots that were supposed to be unfolding a one event. 
    Sadly that kind of ruined it for them because as a staged thing, it wasn't as much fun to riff on than if it were real. 
    That's the dumbest thing about these moronic shows... most of them are staged and directed to a large degree... sure the people may be dysfunctional as all hell, but there isn't a lot of reality in their unreal behavior.

    Personally, most of the crap on TV is worse than the crap in those Bigfoot/Scandal tabloids they used to sell at the checkout lane.

    Long live Bat-boy!

    My cousin went to California to pursue acting. Cousin once got an acting role on a reality tv show, playing one of the patrons in an outdoors store.

    If there is a whiff of bad acting on a reality show, I will not watch it. I cannot stand bad acting, and most reality shows that are scripted have bad acting. The acting on the Kardashians is not bad, but the show is still awfully boring, despite the scripting. So Pawn Stars, The tow truck people, Housewives, and just about every other reality show lately, especially in the later seasons, is a no go for me. 

    But I must admit that I love Below Deck. They never seem like they are acting, and the drama is all very believable. Add to that the fancy food, exotic locations, and funny fights* while people are very much piss drunk, and it's a blast. 

    *These fights don't usually feature insanity. Stupidity? Sure. But it's the typical kind of self blindness you see every day, with none of the over-the-top offensive mouth vomit that you would see between Real Housewives at a dinner party.

    ...I've seen "glitches".  

    One day while I was sitting at the local coffee shop I saw an older woman checking out a rubbush container and then left down the street,. Moments later the scene repeated itself.

    How do you know, we are not there already?

    If you really start thinking about it, the only thing one can deduct, is that there is an entity (possibly several entities), which can say "I think, therefore I am" - Everything else can be faked.

    If you think the information you receive through your senses is real, how does your brain receive that information?
    They say the information is transfered with electrical signals and we all know that those signals can be modified, faked or even created artificially and since we cannot trust any information we receive, we have no way of knowing what the real life and real world looks like for real and if there is anyone there beside the entity that has THE thought.

    ....total swan song for the last day of the PC sale.  PC membership seems to means nothing as only purchasing new releases gives any advantages.  What is worse both today's and yesterday's PC items are G8.1 products, PC+ items should always be rather "generic", not figure specific.  . This has to be one of the more disappointing sale events as so much was tied to purchasing expensive character bundles while many of the special discount categories (like the BYOB and PC+ for a Day) were primarily very old (like gen3) and RNDA products.  

    Think when my PC membership finally expires next spring, that will be it.

    That word scares the crap out of me. Especially when we've been dealing with flies today. So yeah. I'm scared. Super scared. Uber scared. 

    Here comes another "overload". I just want to sleep. I want to die in my sleep.

    Non-complaint:  Wheee... I've almost got my 4-port KVM switch and its four connecting computer systems working.  I finally got determined enough to trace out the wiring on my broken special cable.  I've also tested all the electronics involved and in my stupid act of mashing all the pins of a tiny 10 pin connector, I didn't short anything that fried any circuits.  Yay!yes  So, the remaining issue is just getting the cable repaired.  (can't buy a new one, $%@$## cheap foreign crap)  I scrounged around the internet and found one of those non-standard USB3 10-pin MiniB male connectors and a plastic shell for it.  It will be here sometime this week and then all I have to do is cut the old cable and attach the correct wires to the correct solder points on the new connector.  Wheee..., I haven't done any soldering in 30 years.indecision  I even ordered a modern soldering kit because my 55 year old soldering iron is obviously not intended for today's micro sized parts.surprise

    Regarding micro sized soldering.  I'm a bit concerned about my hands being able to stay steady enough.  I'm getting old and I notice that fine motor control of my hands and steadiness is a diminishing ability.sad

    Why are there pie eating contests but no cake eating contests?

    Just a little food for thought. cheekydevil

    ...well the dual fan set arrived late yesterday. Put it in today, set it to exhaust and within a short time, I could notice quite a difference as it pulled all the warm stale air out (usually takes a few days after a stretch of hot weather for the place to really cool down.  Later will reverse the fans to bring the cool nigh air in.  Fairly quiet, only produces a bit of white noise which actually is somewhat relaxing.

    I'm no expert on the subject, but I think pie goes down more easily than cake.  Pie has a lot more moisture.  Of course, there's the crust.  but most pies are quite wet.  An exception would be pecan pie, I guess.

    Had some strawberry shortcake earlier. Could not finish it all. But it was good stuff. 

    When was the last time you guys had strawberry shortcake? Seems like it's not that popular anymore. Or maybe it never was? Dunno. It's a big deal once a year in Florida cause of the Strawberry Festival.

    i would love to see we geting back another "complete your bundle sales", it was really cool, being able to buy some bundles which i was having incomplete, would be cool see it come back along with another wave of interactive sales, with like all interactive 5 and 20% for 10+ licenses as we had at few months ago, would be cool a combo of those come back with some others sales.

     

    and to be fair i would love if the "complete was "base system" and not just a sales, many sites which i know have this system of "catch up bundles, where if you own stuffs from a bundle this not gonna count toward the price.

    Almost finished the new episode of Loki when my medicine kicked me hard last night. I had to go to sleep then.
