The Space Device Premise and the Certain Promise of Our Inevitable Demise

The Space Device Premise and the Certain Promise of Our Inevitable Demise

Well… it’s been a while since I’ve visited this series. I know you’ve all be very eager to see how I wrap it up. The twists and turns we’ve been through…how it all ties together. We could go anywhere basically.

A long time ago, approximately 2017, I had a vision for the end of this series. I drew the header art and made the headline and never revisited it (see above). Let me briefly walk you…

Americans Should Pay an Amazon Prime Payroll Tax (and why that's a good thing)

Americans Should Pay an Amazon Prime Payroll Tax (and why that’s a good thing)

I’m lucky to live in a place as wonderful as Austin, Texas. It’s not San Francisco but it has just enough transplants from California that it’s starting to feel like it! We even have at least 3 In-N-Out’s. Haha, that’s just a little bit of Texan bitching — contrived and tired, I’m sure you’ve heard it enough. But you know what’s not a joke? Whole Foods. We have a WHOLE lot of them and I think…

How to make a 30 Year Old Boomer Smoothie

How to make a 30 Year Old Boomer Smoothie

Success comes from the three B’s. Boxes, Backyard, and Breakfast. You can have everything I have if you eat a balanced breakfast. Fortnite is a bad game and you should consider playing good games like Halo Classic, Quake III, Unreal Tournament. I used a 4-cycle weed eater to deal with my yard after consuming a Monster Ultra…

The Robek World Cryptocurrency Ratings Explained

The new RW Cryptocurrency Ratings are the first by a quantum technology journal. They are based on a groundbreaking model that analyzes holds and picks from people who have been stuck with heavy bags. Instead of worrying with cumbersome “research” of patterns, technology, and usage — we were just upfront with our audience, letting them know that every single time someone publishes a list like…

Brand New Sandbox MMORPG 2017 | Albion Online Review

Brand New Sandbox MMORPG 2017 | Albion Online Review

Hooboy. Let me tell you about my new favorite game “Brand New Sandbox MMORPG 2017”. Officially, I believe it’s called Albion Online, but the website has the name backwards, I suppose for SEO reasons. Brand New Sandbox MMORPG 2017 is a game where everyone matters. Albion Online (AO) is a “sandbox” MMORPG developed by a small German studio called Sandbox Interactive (SBI). It’s the first NEW RPG…

The Current Climate of Cryptocurrency - Part 1

The Current Climate of Cryptocurrency – Part 1

Welcome to “crypto”! Welcome to crypto! Since June, the entire climate of cryptocurrency has been in a complete state of calamity. There’s no doubt you’ve heard about them from your nephew, co-worker, or religious leader. Bitcoin and Ethereum have been featured prominently in the news media, forcing everyone to share their ill-informed opinions of the space. With the upcoming fork(s) and the…

Brave Publisher Approval Guide for Wordpress Users

I’m an idiot, so this took some time to solve for myself. Because I had to figure it out (with some help from my good friend Moon), I thought I’d share. If you’re excited about Brave’s attention-based platform — which utilizes Basic Attention Token and Uphold’s payment platform, you may want to sign up as a verified publisher. This will allow you to accept payments of Basic Attention Token (BAT).…

Stoked on ARK Ecosystem - ARK.io

If you’re like me, you’re probably holding some pretty heavy ARK bags. Actually, that’s an overstatement. Smart money bought into this cryptocurrency months ago and for good reason. For many ARK holders, we’ve managed to secure a negative netcost, now holding risk free. The question I get the most is, “how’d you know, why’d you buy”. Well, good question, and as the price of ARK drops…

The Life-Changing Magic of Getting Only What You Need

The Life-Changing Magic of Getting Only What You Need

You might have heard of a certain method popularized a few years back that purported to clean up and de-clutter your home once and for all. By chucking out everything that doesn’t “spark joy”, whatever remains in your home will surely be all that you need, right? Alas, I’ve seen friends picking up that book on a whim, trying it out and sending more than half of their possessions to Goodwill, only…

90% Chance You’ll Get Screwed During the Bitcoin “Hard Fork” if you Sell

TLDR: Don’t sell “Bitcoin Classic” to buy “Bitcoin Fresh” Marvin Threshel was just like any other miner. He’d crossed the great expanse of the western plains to end up in California. He sifted and panned, and got in early enough to amass a large amount of gold. He expanded his operations. He brought in miners from China, and before you could blink, he ran the largest mining operation for 200…

The Melancholy of Brilliant Shane

The Melancholy of Brilliant Shane

I very specifically remember the moment I discovered Brilliant Shane. It was a fortuitous accident. According to my YouTube like history, this discovery happened in early 2016. In case you and I are unacquainted, I’m addicted to shitposting and had found myself in an INTERNET argument (as I often do). This argument was a classic — one where I was intentionally playing the fool. I periodically go…

Thoughts on Destiny 2 + “Blizzard App” and Fisher-Price DOTA (Heroes of the Storm)

I can’t stop playing / paying for these shallow games. It’s finally been made clear to me. I had questioned why Blizzard would change the name of it’s classic and well-known Battle.Net service. It has brand equity, is catchy, and has been the Blizzard catch all for multiplayer gaming since 1996. Changing the name to “GENERIC APP” seemed like a stupid decision and I couldn’t determine the…

Moderate is the new Counterculture - Next Mainstream

Moderate is the new Counterculture – Next Mainstream

If you’re like me, you’re probably tired of the steady stream of partisan politics being displayed across your social feeds and harped on every day in the media. Don’t fret, I have a prediction and I’m 90% sure it will come to pass. Prediction: Moderate will be mainstream in the next 2 – 4 years. It will be a return to the 90’s. Since 2008 and cemented in 2012, extremism has been mainstream.…
