People like that have always existed, and always will. They live a life where whatever they ever wanted is right nearby, and they can’t imagine that the place which is good enough for them isn’t good enough for someone else.
I will say this: don’t let his attitude make you afraid of traveling. I’m always a homebody, but even for me there’s an excitement in being a stranger in a strange land every once in a while. Give it a try.
I like coffee, and I avoid over-roasted beans and hate especially bitter coffee.
Over roasted: Burn the fuck out of your low-quality beans so that all flavor nuance is lost and every batch tastes identical.
Too bitter: Over extracted during brewing. It’s a skill issue, and even the darkest roasted beans can be prepared without excessive bitterness.
For me, an over-extracted coffee is never acceptable, but I don’t hate over-roasted beans if I’m at a breakfast diner.
I know this comment is a joke, but the CA bill requires age bucketing for to be provided by the OS to “covered stores”. Basically, any source of 3rd party programs.
Since TempleOS (at least, the original one written solely by Terry Davis) has no networking stack, no such “covered store” can exist. I think there’s not even support to load external storage drives, so all programs on the machine are either written by the user or provided first-party by the OS. I think TempleOS would be exempt on those grounds.
I could get behind this if there was any actual decoration or community-oriented furniture in the hallway.
Maybe some fake plants, a bench/sofa, vending machines, etc. Any kind of reason to spend time in the hallway.
Not the person you’re talking to, but it seems like a stretch that some little nightclub will want to build and maintain their own smart contract infrastructure. It’s not just issuing the tickets, it’s also building and distributing the tools to quickly validate the hundreds/thousands of attendees every night.
For example, it’s not enough just to validate that everyone at the gate has an NFT. I could enter the venue with a valid token, and then transfer it to my friend still outside once I’m through the door. So now the bouncer needs to track what tickets have already been scanned, and you probably want it to update off-chain (faster and no gas fees).
Not that I can pretend to know what already goes in to a venue supporting TicketMaster, but I figure there’s got to be a reason why these middlemen were wanted in the first place. That reason is probably about venues wanting to do music and not tech support.
