TastyCake is not dismissed, disappeared or impossible to find.

It’s rigidly regional brand from Philadelphia that’s actually doing very well and has been expanding North to fill the gap left by Hostess’s troubles. It wasn’t even available in New York State until about 5 or 10 years ago.

Chowder in general.

It’s from New England. Not just people will tend to associate it with New England. 

Couldn’t read the article?

Filoni is apparent “the” Mandalorian guy at Lucasfilm. Supposedly it’s just his person favorite angle on Star Wars stuff, and spent a lot time pushing to include in the shows. Then to shift it back towards classic flavor for Rebels from the Lucas dictated “New Mandalorian” space pacifists thing.

and his N-1 will just dock onto it for when needed for faster pursuits.

I think it’s the business. She had 3 films come out in 2019, 2 performances and a documentary she directed. Then there’s the major action tent pole, which comes with voice rolls for streaming and video game shit.

There are no potentially good things to do with it that you couldn’t do without it.

They’re not talking about scarcity as a game mechanic.

They’re talking about scarcity in economics.

The scarcity is a bit of a fiction. Part and parcel of the crypto bubble, NFTs included. Is there’s not enough demand or money involved for a significant chunk of the people who bought in to actually get money out of what they bought.

That confusion is part of the point. A lot of it is deliberately over complicated to make it seem valid. And it allows proponents to dismiss critics, by claiming they don’t understand.

Apparently the coding and infrastructure are fairly complex. But you don’t need to know dick about that to understand the concept.

All…

It’s 2 hours of detailed coverage, history and commentary.

I wouldn’t say you need all the info there to understand any of that shit. You can get a 5 minute summary of the subject and cut through all the bull.

Why would you need NFTs just to have a RMT market for in-game items?

The actual work product out of Lucas Arts hadn’t been great leading up to it’s shuttering. The game concept was cool but I remember having very little faith LucasArts could do it well.

So we’ll burn a much dirtier gasoline or diesel engine to ensure heat and the ability to cook?

Apparently gas utilities in general are only something like 2-3% of emissions by the highest estimates.

That would be including home heating and water heating, which will consume VASTLY more gas than the stove will.

The whole planet could ban gas stoves tomorrow. And it would do nothing to impact climate change.

They don’t make them anymore. They were replaced by the Chromecast with Google TV.

That might be the assumption by manufacturers. But I’ve never seen that happen. People with a perfectly good TV they bought 2 years ago, who suddenly find HBO doesn’t work. Just buy a sub $100 streaming device.

No, what they do is get paid for the “smart features”. By the companies who’s apps they’re embedding. Then advertise it as a benefit, and sell as much sweet sweet data they can.

They’re basically double or triple dipping. But apparently it’s part of what’s made very big TVs so affordable. 

It is more likely that they just didn’t want to pay the licensing.

It has gotten harder to make a single disc drive read too many legacy formats, so the tradeoff is that the PS5 disc drive can do DVDs and forward, but not CDs.
