  • It sounds like you don’t know what an NFT is. A credit card isn’t a NFT because there is no private key, it’s only a public token that you hope is securely stored everywhere you put it in. You could put your credit card info on a sketchy website and they could use that exact same information for a purchase with no interaction on your part.

    Same exact story with your driver’s license. And the car in Monopoly? What the fuck dude, they’re mass produced identical pieces of metal.

    Maybe that’s why you think it’s so great, because you have no idea what is and isn’t an NFT.




  • You’re being proven right. You will get downvoted for these statements because a majority are just not factual.

    The easiest to explain is NFTs are worthless. They have no legal validity for ownership. The largest portion of the NFT market is buying pictures, pictures which are hosted externally and can be taken down without respect to the NFT contract.

    So in the majority use-case you neither have the picture stored, nor have exclusive legal ownership. So you’re buying access to a very fancy, very energy intensive, url link.

    That’s not even getting into the politically charged arguments. The whole reason we have child labor laws, minimum wage, and OSHA requirements is because raw, unchecked capitalism was terrible for 99% of people.





  • Avoiding cold water is just bad advice and it’s perpetuated by people who do not live in hot climates. It violates thermodynamics to say adding cold stuff makes you hot.

    If you’re already to the point of sweating, your body is trying to cool you down. Adding cool liquid will make you colder, not hotter. Go read medical recommendations for how to treat heat stress, they will never tell you to drink hot tea and eat some chillies


  • This is exactly why I switched off daily driving Linux after a few months. I didn’t find it hard to get things set up initially, but you keep running into constant issues that take hours to troubleshoot and fix.

    I got to the point where if I booted up my computer to quickly do a task and I got a cryptic error message that I had to put into Google to fix one more time, I’m not wasn’t going to troubleshoot it, I was going to throw my PC out the window.

    I love the ideas behind Linux, and I love having open source alternatives to windows and Mac, and I’ve donated to a couple projects… but based on my last attempt (1-2 years ago) Linux is still far from being a daily driver alternative on personal computers for the average person.


  • I think you’re looking for a storm door glass retainer. This does not look like weather stripping to me. Generally , weather strip goes on parts that are designed to move and need to seal (the soft black plastic around car doors). If it’s soft and pliable, it’s probably weatherstrip; if it’s rigid and inflexible it’s likely glass retainer.

    I’d follow Decoy321’s advice and take measurements and pictures, then go to your nearest hardware store. But odds are they won’t have the exact match for the existing door, this glass retainer is generally unique between manufacturers and even within product lines.

    You may have better luck going through a window and door installer and see how much it would be to get them to repair it, since the parts are so unique.
