| Topic | Star Trek is dropping actual 1:1 scale NFTs of the Borg Cube and the Enterprise |
| Josiah_Is_Back 09/07/21 11:56:40 AM #40 | "Fungible" means an item can be replaced by an identical item... but if multiple "NFTs" of the same thing are being produced and sold etc., wouldn't that mean they are fungible? Non-fungible would mean there's only one. |

| Josiah_Is_Back 09/06/21 4:29:26 PM #3 | ModLogic posted... most people without a gambling addiction would have stopped after this Haha, I don't have a gambling addiction. I don't buy scratch offs very often. It's money I didn't have initially, and playing the game is fun, so that's why I pocketed $50 (putting me at +50 at the very least) and risked the other half. |
| Topic | Just had a decent stroke of luck with some scratch off tix |
| Josiah_Is_Back 09/06/21 4:22:35 PM #1 | Some people say to buy several of the same ticket, but I don't like doing that because you're likely buying 80% duds, if you even win at all. I have more luck buying one ticket from different rolls.
So I bought 7 tickets and won on 4 of them, which is quite lucky because that's almost a 60% win rate, when even a $30 (which offers the highest chance of winning) has odds around 35%. |

| Josiah_Is_Back 09/06/21 9:43:03 AM #4 | Depends on the state. Florida, for instance: The unlawful killing of an unborn child, by any injury to the mother of such child which would be murder if it resulted in the death of such mother, shall be deemed murder in the same degree as that which would have been committed against the mother. |

| Topic | Coincidences make me feel like life is a simulation |
| Josiah_Is_Back 09/04/21 5:43:14 PM #3 | WeeWeiWiiWie posted... It's adaptive to perceive meaning in randomness. It's also in our nature to assume coincidences are not correlative, because that goes against what we've been told. Doesn't mean it's not true. Especially when I experience this type of stuff all the time. |
| Topic | Coincidences make me feel like life is a simulation |
| Josiah_Is_Back 09/04/21 5:09:07 PM #1 | So on the topic of life being a simulation and weird coincidences I've noticed... I was just talking to one of our cashiers about half an hour ago about the Kia cruise I took a few years ago. She asked me where it went, told her the Bahamas. Okay, so shortly afterward I pull her from her register to go into the office and count the drawer, etc. On the way to the office, an older coworker named Roland asked tongue in cheek "Are you leaving us defenseless, Sheena?" Which he always asks when it's her time to clock out. She said Roland likes pretending, which made me think of the song "The Great Pretender" by the Platters, which I mentioned to Sheena. Okay, so as I'm counting the drawer, I find in the nickels slot... a Bahamian five cent coin. Interesting, I think. I was just talking about the Bahamas. I wrap up, and when I exit the office, what song is playing? "The Great Pretender." Granted, it's part of the store's playlist, but the timing... |

Could be as minor as the signs of the zodiac, for instance. |

I wonder if this variety makes those states more politically balanced than others.... |
