MrMonkey,

I really want to be able to enjoy myself regardless of how drunk I am, but I do like the variety of flavors when it comes to drinks. Do you guys have any suggestions for NA/low alcohol drinks?

If flavors is your thing then try to find a canned water that you like. “Liquid Death” makes some fantastic flavors, and they come in “tallboy” cans. There are tons of mocktails, try those out to.

If you want to drink less the easiest way is to not take the first drink,.

MrMonkey,

They only sell canned water: Death to Plastic

MrMonkey,

Too many people would change their minds based on what the sign says.

Does you reaction change if the sign read: “Black Lives Matter” or if it read “Back the Blue”?

Or one that says “Trans women are women” vs “trans women aren’t women”?

Or “pineapple on pizza is ok” vs “pinapple on pizza is the work of the devil”?

MrMonkey,

How do you like the Mach-E? I’ve been looking at some.

MrMonkey,

But then again I’ve heard there’s monopolies for that in the USA, instead of actual competition.

Government granted monopolies. It’s the worst. City / county/ state signs deal with ISP X and give them exclusive rights. Then for some reason they don’t spend a lot of time updating anything because they have no competition because of the fucking morons in the government.

MrMonkey,

Another reason the feds ensure inflation, it makes their workforce cheaper.

MrMonkey,

Fallout reference

MrMonkey,

I use NFS with caches (cachefilesd) on a local SSD. Works great.

MrMonkey,

… so?

MrMonkey,

they’re actually just drafting Russian citizens who happen to work at Unilever

This. Someone needed some rage bait.

In light of articles all over Lemmy about Google pushing ManifestV3 onto Chrome and the majority of web users, isn't that an antitrust violation? (www.ftc.gov)

So as I understand it, Google’s using it’s monopoly market position to force web “standards” unilaterally (without an independent/conglomerate web specification standards where Google is only one of many voices) that will disadvantage its competitors and force people to leave its competitors....

MrMonkey,

because a bit faster short term

Waaaaaaay more than “a bit”. Like “imperceptible render time” vs 2s for firefox. That adds up a lot.

is worth sacrificing you freedom long term?

What freedom did I lose? I used chromium mostly.

Firefox has performance now, where it did’t in the past. So I don’t use chrome now.

See, I use the best tool for the job I can find, and that changes over time. For a while the was Chrome.

MrMonkey,

!Ukraine_UA is the federated link format.

MrMonkey,

Do you understand that hypothetical questions don’t have be real?

Even if nobodies house was damaged his point stands.

So why bother being argumentative? Especially when you’re, ya know, wrong.

MrMonkey,

Also if the wildfires that started naturally were allowed to burn (if not threatening the public) then we don’t get that huge build up of dead wood getting dryer and dryer leading to a super scorcher that nothing can stop.

MrMonkey,

(such as Capitol Hill)

Is that related to Cypress Hill?

MrMonkey,

Inflation is a tax on hoarding money.

It’s a tax on my savings and my retirement. My savings lose 2% a year, on purpose. This means I have to play in the investment game to so much as break even. I’d rather not have to play the stock market game and just save my money for retirement without it losing value.

MrMonkey,

Insurance companies use ariel and satellite photos. So do municipalities to check for unpermited work.

They’re not going to drive out to each customer with a toy drone. They’re essentially using google map satellite view.

Can we stop the hysteria and take a few minutes to think things through?

MrMonkey,

The same reason flying airplanes isn’t “criminal trespassing”. Satellite and aerial photography happen really high up.

No insurance company used a small toy drone to fly 50’ over his property for pictures.

MrMonkey,

Private more up-to-date sources aren’t very expensive.

edit: An example

MrMonkey,

People downvote things they don’t want to be true.

It’s strange. It doesn’t work that way.

MrMonkey,

*“A customer says that someone on the phone said ‘a drone picture’ and the company denies it, saying they use other imaging.” * Customer could be mistaken, whoever was on the phone may not know that “drone” covers things from 737 Recon Drone to a $10 aliexpress quadcopter.

I’ll bet $50 it was either a high altitude drone or a satellite image bought from an imaging company, as they’ve been doing for at least 20 years, and not some quadcopter flying just above his yard.

Please think before commenting.

MrMonkey,

The easiest to explain is NFTs are worthless. They have no legal validity for ownership. The largest portion of the NFT market is buying pictures, pictures which are hosted externally and can be taken down without respect to the NFT contract.

Oh, so you don’t know what an NFT is. An NFT is a non-fungable token. This is a token that is distinct from other tokens, Some tokens are legally valid, some aren’t. You use NFTs every day.

This “NFT = Not legally binding JPEG” thing stuck in your head has got to go. It was just a simple PoC that people took nobody but gamblers care for.

Your credit card is an NFT. Your drivers licence is an NFT. Your car title is an NFT. The car in monopoly is an NFT.

But being able to transfer and store NFTs on a trustless network is an amazing feat, and testing it with silly stuff like jpegs is the way to go before using it for something important.

Now imagine your car title is a legally binding NFT. You can prove you own your car, transfer ownership to the new owner, no trip to the DMV needed.

The supply chain is already using NFTs to prevent forgeries; tokens are created by the manufacturer and sent to the retailers. Retailers verify the tokens and know the real ones didn’t fall off a truck.

At some point you’ll use an NFT to check if those Air Jordan’s on Craigslist are the real thing (or stolen). But like every other NFT you use you probably won’t even know it.

MrMonkey,

So every credit card is the same as every other credit card? Cool, can I use yours?

Every drivers license is the same as every other license? I dunno about that, mine has my info on it. I don’t think yours does. These tokens don’t appear to be fungible.

Every token in monopoly is played by any player? No there’s one token per player and they’re not interchangeable.

They are Tokens. That are not fungible. These are NFTs. You don’t have to like it, but try to understand it.

A Token that is unique and different from other tokens is “non-fungible”,

My drivers license is non-fungible. So is my car title.

Dollars are fungible. A $10 bill is a $10 bill.

Cars are not fungible. My car is not the same as your car.

Non-Fungible Tokens can be physical things. There were nfts long before the the internet and you use tons of them, online and off. You just don’t know.

MrMonkey,

This is one reason why government run schools are a bad idea. There’s an incentive for stupidity to be taught as fact for political gain.

MrMonkey,

I think education would be better if politicians had nothing to do with it.
