Don’t mind me, I’m just rolling around in all this sweet, sweet money I get for negging on NFTs, paid by... paid by... um... you know... the anti-NFT lobby!

As a tech person, there is a benefit to distributed ledger for access control. But yeah, it’s basically reinventing the wheel for no visible differences.

This is a very eloquent and rational-sounding rebuttal that avoids the usual name-calling and I thank you for it.

This isn’t a case of Kotaku being paid to crap on NFTs. This is a case of “everyone is telling you that it sucks except the people who want to get rich off you.” The idea is outright terrible from the perspective of anyone who actually consumes games (and fantastic from the perspective of anyone who wants to sell NFTs…

I’m being sincere.

Candy melts and confectioner’s coating (aka almond bark) are specifically designed not to require tempering. I have been making this recipe for 17 years without gloopy results. 

I read this as “Samoans are thick and delicious” and thought you had a thing for The Rock.

The clear reason why the shortbreads aren’t on top is the complete lack of butter. There’s some sweetened condensed milk, buttermilk and artificial flavors, but without butter, it just ain’t shortbread.

Sounds like an interesting read. Bourdain was an electric person, when he was on screen it was often hard to look away, but you could tell that he was the kind of person that ground against other people just because of how he was. The acerbic wit never seemed to stop even with people he knew and liked immensely, his…

It would have been neat if any of those previous stories about Tabbitha’s work had the photos included. Sadly, it looks like they all got Spanfelled.
