  1. i follow that account for the lulz. probably some incel in the basement wishing any girl would talk to him. his notions on how easy farming/ranching is and how idyllic that lifestyle is are extremely off base. and yes, the breast milk icecream is a recurring thing with this nut.
  2. i had him benched all week, but put him back in the lineup because yahoo said he was changed from questionable to healthy right before game time. thought about just leaving him on the bench but then faded my first intuition as i normally get it wrong.
  3. I was up slightly and had him vs Nick Folk. so yes, yes i did get proper folked by him and lost by 2 points. still sitting 4th place (top 4 make playoffs) with the last regular season game this week. good start with Kittle so far.
  4. well, what i am saying is what most likely happened is nft degens likely bought most of these. right now unique ownership is 33%. they are now offloading on likely trumpers who will get stuck buying these at inflated pricing. but yes, as someone who has banged around NFTs for better part of the last 1.5 years, this project selling out with 45K items surprises me. But nft degens are thirsty for any action right now.
  5. man those thing are actually selling well on the secondary market. ~2.2x initial pricing. the rare 1 of 1 i saw sold for ~$4K, another one for $5K people who minted are flipping for a profit. sales every 45 seconds or so, which indicates great volume https://opensea.io/collection/trump-digital-trading-cards/activity 1500 ETH traded so far. so at 10% thats another $200K in royalties. the entity that bought Trumps likeness for these is making out very well. Their 'labor' consisted of stealing stock photos and pasting an orange head on top. Probably used the Opensea boilerplate smart contract and got Trump to do marketing. pretty much pure profit.
  6. there are 'art' NFTs where it's like a painting that you can buy or compete at auction, but most are set up like the baseball cards back in the day. you buy a pack and you don't know what you will get inside. what 'ant said about gacha was (sorta) correct but that even a semi-obscure reference from pay to win gaming. Think they are call lootboxes now in fortnite etc.... the difference being that with NFTs of this sort, there is supposed to be a hard cap, usually 10K or below so that the manufactured rarity is never diluted. (gacha/lootboxes do not have a hard cap on the # of 'rare' items that can be won) This is why you would see stories about people spending 6-7 figures on rare NFTs.
  7. ok yep back on track for me as well
  8. Typically, this is how NFTs work during a mint. It's supposed to randomly generated and there is a baked in/manufactured 'scarcity' on how the traits are generated. So kindof like a lottery and only a few get the 'rare' ones. Rare traits can generally be sold on the secondary market for higher prices.
  9. i can only make posts with the IPS Default theme and am getting assaulted by ads popping up everywhere. Normally use Dark Theme no avatars. The post window just disappears using this theme
  10. if only FTX had lasted a little longer and these were minted on that platform
  11. yeah, i am sure the stop the steal marketed grift is still taking in $$. he keeps digging deeper and deeper into Q lore to entice simpletons to give up their cash.
  12. this has to be the bottom sooooooooooooooooo many magas are going get wrekt trying to buy these. i have not even looked, are they are matic chain?
  13. sounds like 'big golf' talking... but thanks for the link
  14. i mean, in hindsight this is exactly what we should have known was going to happen. dude is going grift until he's dead and thirst SO BIGLY for praise he will do anything to keep it going. nothing is too demeaning for him at this point. that being said...L O Fucking L at fanboi cosplay art for cool $100 per.
  15. hell, it's illegal to not have a front license plate in Texas yet a lot of cars now are built with no posts for a front plate. That and dark tint level is just a built in excuse to pull over anyone they want to.
  16. lol, these are back to basically mint price. They rebounded a little to $10K but were under $8K. anyone still banging around with NFTs?
  17. for a lot of the images associated with NFTs, the graphic files are hosted on other servers. The blockchain contract 'points' to those websites to link the image and then pull it up when a website references an NFT blockchain. So the NFT is not really gone, but the image link is broken. could probably be fixed by whoever has the keys to the contract, but i don't think the holders themselves could fix the issue of getting the image to display properly. I really have no idea how FTX did their NFTs though. so my explanation could be way off. what i described above was in reference to ETH based NFTs. I don't think i have made a single transaction in 7+ months as there is just no money to be made like in the 'old' days (well, no easy money). Still follow the action a little on twitter and a few discords but had liquidated a lot of my stuff in Dec of last year.
  18. yeah, go to a cutter and get an mri/xray - i had a bone spur once and did surgery to file it down and they also tried to abrade some arthritis off the joint. worked ok, but i have gone back to get cortisone shots when some inflammation would not go away i have always gone to the Carrell Clinic in Dallas
  19. he saw OBJ get more attention from the Cowboys after getting escorted off a plane and said 'hold my beer' your move Jerry...
  20. have Park City (Canyons side at Grand Summit) and Angel Fire (rando cabin) booked this year. the place at Canyons is super convenient with a lift ~20 ft from the back doors. Main gondola is ~2 min walk away. You can 'ski' to the Park City side but is mainly riding short lifts to a gondola to get there. I think it's actually faster to take the bus most times. Busses were hit or miss at lift close times at the end of the day though when we ended the day on the PC side. Going to be trying out some new Burton step-in bindings for the snowboard. I'm getting too old to bend down and strap in every time so hoping these are better. We did AF last year so we could drive and take the doggo (loves the snow) and it went from ghost town to record crowds by the weekend. Hopefully they have more of the mountain open during the week. it's a tiny mountain compared to the bigger CO resorts, but OK for a long weekend.
