  1. mine is just in jr high, but it's either shirtless or a hoodie around the house. but in school it was a hoodie every day. maybe the AC is cold af ?
  2. the only one I sell outside my stable is for a Z3 Szabo Genesis. the price I was getting was OK at first, around .2 eth per, but everyone is undercutting and floor is now .1 eth so I have been breeding in-house for the minimum. someone always manages to steal 1 of the cheap covers though before i can get my 3rd mare to breed. so have ended up with 2 foals and one cheap cover the last 2 times. - that horse is unraced, so there is no positive or negative win % to influence the price. I find that unraced is way better than having a bad win % i think most people probably do the bare minimum wrt to searching for horses to breed with. Finneys and Buterins are basically all at the floor for stud fees so the inventory there is overwhelming and people don't want to scroll through 100s of listings. They will do a little bit of searching, maybe check out the odds of a few horses then pull the trigger. - To get any value for a decent racer, you will have to advertise on twitter and on the ZED forum. just keep spamming your horse on ZED forum in the breeding section and you will probably get a some responses or action on your horse. I tend to sell all my male offspring that don't actually win money racing and then keep the females to spawn a few foals. But females have a massive premium right now, so I have been selling some of those as well.
  3. yeah, if you made a service that would buy a Z1/Z2 then fractionalize it into 20-50 units. give everyone a voting token on when/if to race it, set the stud fee (or max stud fee to pay for a mare), same for selling the foal etc.. then you would have something. Racing a horse is the least profitable aspect of ZED unless you have a top 1% horse. My horses pretty much suck at racing and have not turned a profit as a group ever. But breeding (selling covers and selling foals) has been extremely profitable so far. outside of racing new foals to see their odds, I probably only race my other horses maybe once a week. The first service to cater to this aspect will make bank, but that's a lot of trust to give to a 'company' which would be far from establishing legitimacy. Honestly, if one of the big stables like Doofy or Poseidon were to create a service like this, i would trust it. But just because someone is first to try and monetize it does not mean they won't disappear with the horses and your money after a month.
  4. yeah, looks like English is not their first language. also, if the max dollar amount of the horse if $1000 that's not going to get much of a horse, unless i was reading that wrong. plus nothing mentioned about breeding.
  5. love 'em or hate 'em, but NPR has done a ton of stories on this. interviewing people in Kabul everyday to get their take on the situation with the Taliban taking over.
  6. defund the sanctuary bases
  7. IN for a Z1 breeding pair lol. This is actually really good for the game. should see more movement on the high price horses now.
  8. every other word typed on Tech's football message board is about the PUF and how since Tech is located in west Texas, they deserve that money by God.
  9. too bad she was not packing heat while on the zoom call and could protect herself.
  10. ffs, let's ignore the vax studies and glom onto dubious horse paste studies that show little promise. you can't make this up. Just tell them that pfizer owns the patent for the horse paste anti-parasite ingredient and they will stop eating it this is the equivalent of clicking on the 'one weird trick to cure ... ' and going in whole hog, but can poison you.
  11. San Saba golden armadillos clocking in at sub 30% vax rate.
  12. ok, that was the story i heard referenced on npr. remembered they were supposed to do a story on Monday about it and was going to post.
  13. also, those 95% eff. number were based on the phase 3 trial which started in July 2020 and ended early Dec iirc. So tons of people were following suggestions and wearing masks, working from home, etc... it makes a big difference in the numbers. it's not like the OFF mosquito repellent commercials where they spray an arm then stick it in a cage full of hungry mosquitos. The trial patients went about their normal life and did not yolo licking doorknobs and seeing how many people the could ride an elevator with each hour. most of the US was masking at this time. Most are now fully back to doing whatever/whenever with no masks, so just from that then effcy would go down. Add in that some data suggest Delta can even make vaxxed people spreaders and here we are.
  14. not looking forward to everyone under the sun start sentences with "SEC level ..." whether talking about recruits or physical attribute of a current player etc... This was done because we were losing ground in recruiting, right? So looking forward to UT bagmen and bagwomen to start making SEC level payola to the recruits. Shit, i just did it
  15. furk. hopefully the backlash will get them to change their stance. going at the end of August
  16. Tusken Raiders, aka sand people, did that. Jawas rode around the big tank/garbage truck
  17. Nice! yeah i think breeding is where it's at for making a little money. Even the crappiest horses are selling for $150 now. Even with ZEDs take, breeding stud fees are decent as well.
  18. are you buying with metamask or through CC? It's been a while since i have bought a horse and Opensea has changed their format a little (CC option is new). I don't think there is gas for buying with metamask and using polygon WETH. Take a screenshot if you can and i can look at it. But for most OS buys, yes gas will vary a lot. Especially if something big like a popular NFT drop or some altcoin is going berserk on the Eth network. Drops are just short time frame spikes, so check back in ~15 mins or so if gas is looking crazy.
  19. this is just a go fund me for Trump ball cradlers with the added bonus of a data breach. adding -coin to the project was like adding .com to everything 20 years ago.
  20. races are ~ 14 hours from entering now. ZED has gotten a ton of pub lately. Saw a WSJ article yesterday i think about the $20M investment. let's get those extra servers up and running!
  21. Damn, does this guy own that horse? That's the power of the cane button.
  22. ZED horses on OS live in the polygon WETH format. makes it so you don't have to pay gas to delist or cancel bids which is nice, but you do have to convert it from ETH to polygon. This will allow you to pay entry fees in ZED, pay breeding fees in ZED etc... but it also works on OS for ZED horses. I have have never tried to buy a ZED horse with regular ETH, maybe you can, but again there are some advantages to using the polygon WETH. So just do the conversion inside ZED for easiest way. in ZED ui you are transferring ETH to WETH. That will transfer to the polygon WETH you need. The downside is the fees are kinda high to transfer btween ETH and polygon WETH (especially taking money out of the ZED WETH account). you can always wait and try at a later time to see if fee will be lower.
  23. metamask first. Then use metamask to create accounts on ZED and OS I fund metamask from my coinbase wallet. To fund ZED (convert ETH to polygon) use the in game transfer method is the easiest. it will take some time, it's not instant. OS will work as is with ETH transferred into the metamask wallet, but for ZED items on OS, you will need the polygon (shows up as WETH in OS). Sorry it's confusing, but don't confuse the polygon WETH with the standard WETH. ZED will not work with that standard WETH. Having all three looks like this in your OS wallet ETH polygon is what ZED needs metamask will not show the ZED polygon WETH by default, but it will be there. Again you can check ZED or OS to see what is there. There is probably a primer on the ZED site or a link to one that explains this better
  24. yeah, i listened ~2weeks back to a AMA of Doofy's twitch feed with 2 of the ZED higher ups and they are trying to hire a ton of developers for the all the block chain stuff. It sounds incredibly difficult to do all they want to on the L2 polygon chain and that's the biggest difference say between this and just designing a game for the PC. Makes me feel better about having so much $ parked in ZED assets though. Better than reading about ZED founders stuffing all the money in a kangaroo pouch and riding off into the sunset. after poking around NFTs for a while, ZED is like the rock of Gibraltar compared the most of the fly by night stuff...but that's not saying much tbh
