Right now... If World of Warcraft moved their in game monetary system to a token on $POLYGON it would effectively qualify as a metaverse. If XBOX simply built a roblox style virtual waiting room , it would also be a metaverse. Debatably Roblox is ALREADY a metaverse.... All are already...

What I don't get is when I ask people to define what a "metaverse" is they end up just describing "Second Life, with a VR goggle set" and when I mention that's been around for years I get awkward looks....

Nope, 10% was just an additional loan. Original mortgage was at around 5%, this additional 10 was at around 9%. Just a second loan. I functionally had two mortgage payments each month. One for the 80 loan, one for the 10 loan. Following the Dave Ramsey strategy for debt paydown the higher...

When I bought my house.. I pulled off an 80/10/10 , 80 mortgage, 10% in a higher interest rate loan, 10% down and that worked well for me. I then focused on paying off that 10% ASAP. And it let me only need 10% down when I bought.

Or some balloons....

They have "ducktail" style connectors along the edge and only seem to work lined up in a grid. I thought about that too, staggering them somewhat "subway tile" style.

They are actual wood and actually grooved. So that's a positive in my mind. They laid really flat. There were a couple spots where there was some uneven-ness on my patio, but they handled them well. Seem stable, but I haven't tested furniture on them yet. I will end up needing to...

Today's quickie project... A new front patio on the house. Leveraging these drop and click tiles I picked up on Amazon : Front patio on our house is concrete. We're gearing up for painting the whole house so I've been sanding/stripping/prepping some and got fed up with the concrete patio...

You can find this on Amazon (although apparently Walmart beats them (pun intended?) on price). On Amazon you also see this informative tidbit.. The Amazon reviews do not disappoint either...

Honestly, they're sticking pretty solidly to the level of "queer/diverse" that the Morrison Doom Patrol run in the comics was. But in his case it almost always furthered the story instead of being there for social awareness points. Danny was just as queer in the comics, for instance. This...

So on the other end of "extravagantly indulgent car purchases".. I've been doing some shopping. https://www.rezvanimotors.com/rezvani-vengeance#vengeance-interior-gallery-home

This is proof that Latinos are actually Asians that migrated across the Bering strait when it was a land bridge. Unrelated wind based destruction... As some of you know I melt metal as a hobby and do metalcasting. This is the area behind my garage where I do that... After a wind episode...

I think it's SuperHero burnout. Look at the decline is success Marvel is starting to see. Movies in this last "phase" of the MCU in no way outdid the phase ending with Endgame and Infinity War. And they all know it. Some will claim that it's "Oh they went woke!" but in reality they've mined...

Sucks to hear about the cancellation. At least we'll get a full last season. But I saw this coming, as some have mentioned we have reached "Peak Super Hero Media" and are now in decline on it. And as much as I hate to admit it, IP like Doom Patrol is the esoteric fringe comic book stuff...

That clears up a little but I already knew about the tax considerations, not to mention on this type of title transfer the "cost of the house" is usually listed as something like $10. I'm just really trying to make sure I get the right form to submit, which are surprisingly tricky to find...

OK, home buying adjacent question here. Bordering into something I already know I'll probably need to engage a lawyer for. The scenario : The house my grandparents bought in 1956, where my mother, uncles, and myself were all raised in, is in a living trust under my grandmother's name (now...

Over time I personally had the NFL, Space:1999, and Snoopy lunch boxes (but not in that order...) Reading about the WEF meeting right now.. and...

I can attest to this with field research. Due to an unexpected hospital trip for a relative recently I hit the Whataburger near my house at an hour I never go in anymore (around 10pm) to get some food. Apparently the night hiring manager has a thing for chesty blondes... Possibly related?

Am I insane that right now cash inflows I have are piling up because I can't see any smart place to put money if I plan on it being there for a year? (i.e. I'm not one of you wacky day traders. heh)

Ah yes.... I still remember. The favorite place I have ever worked was destroyed because the guy who owned the company and was a great guy and good leader, was unfortunately also just a little too full of himself and thought he could outplay a PE firm at their own game. But as the says...

This ties in for me with the statement of "You start realizing that if you buy something that is of high enough quality it might be that last of that particular thing you ever have to buy" (i.e. cars, clothes, etc...)

Guessing good ol fashioned Lisinopril... In India they have what they call the "middle age man combo" which is a pill which combines Lisinopril, Furosemide (water pill), and some Statin for cholesterol. It's something like .02 a day for it over there.

We will use this as the cover story for how the Council of Hôs actually formed and it's agenda/mandate. Thank you citizen. Also, you left out @Hosix

I had one of these.... To go with this : (My first computer...) And Play this... Which was my introduction to Heinlein science fiction, and it still the name of my hunter in WoW on hellscream. I had this one : (Add THAT to my Foler montage!). I think I was 11 at the time.

OK, I ended up going this direction. Got the 43" for her, Google TV version. With an OTA antenna. (splurged on a $30 one which is powered). Gets every channel she could ever want. I was able to "favorite" her bit 6 channel (local channels plus ION TV) and POOF she has a menu showing just...

OK seeing all the sleep talk, this is something I can speak to. I also have dealt with sleeping issues on and off for years (since I worked night shift for close to a decade in my 20's). Some observations : Yes, stress is obviously a big player here. When I am having stressful times at work...

"Spinning in circles"..... you mean.. like... around a drain, or in a toilet...

OK, and here is where I ask for you to enlighten me as you obviously know far more about this than I. In your trough you show what are your basis points for where the lines are? When I look at the highs around the first of the year (and nearest short term lows) to now it seems to form a...

This reminds me of the greatness of what we had in Dallas which was called IIRC "First Saturday" The idea was essentially an open air flea market for computer stuff and technology and associated "all that entails" for the first Saturday of each month. It was at Ross and 75 on the edge of...

0000 I had already described it to someone as "Harry Potter for goths" and "Harry Potter in the Addams Family universe"

Time to start working on that xmas list..

This explains a ton about my early dating life...

Yes, except that Musk has also initiated a huge "insourcing" and "in-office" movement. This would indicate to me that he would have whatever moderation with a pulse staffed at the HQ, not remote contractors. I do agree that he will push for a far more leaning agnostic automated moderation to...
