Basically Twitter's former CEO/creator Jack Dorsey took a screenshot of his first tweet then created an NFT for that digital image and sold it and someone paid $2.9m for it.

The only person Jack Dorsey took to school more than Elon Musk was that dude cuz he paid $2.9m for a friggin screen-shot.

The Kia thefts in my city have gotten so bad that a stolen car full of kids came roaring into the parking garage attached to the freaking courthouse Thursday morning and by the time the Sheriff's deputies got downstairs one of them got to watch their own car driven past them by one of the kids as they piggybacked through the paygate behind another car and escaped clean. If that kid knew whose car he just stole he'd be King of the Internet right now.

Those cars apparently don’t have anti-theft hardware on them & still use a physical key slot. So you use like a USB port as a key no different than when you’d use a screw driver back in the day. Most other cars now a days don’t use actual keys & have anti-theft features that would make it harder to steal so that’s why they’re specifically targeting them cars.

The companies claimed they fixed this issue starting with the 2022 lines but who knows.

All because they wanted to save $2 per car and garbage U.S. auto regulations let them cut one corner too many here.

Yeah they’re affordable middle of the road cars so you’re gonna see them plentiful around the country. The models that are susceptible apparently range from 2011 to 2021. So you got a ways out until they cycle out from society.

I might put on the Taylor Schabusiness trial in the background since it starts today. I really just want to know why she did what she did but I don't think we'll ever find out. If you Google it be careful. It's kind of gross and really horror inducing.

Yeh, seemingly a full on "food bonk" was not expecting that.

Great TdF overall... but would have liked Tadej to last a bit longer.

Awesome to see 2x Mancs in the top 4 too aha.

I have actually seen the Yates's ride past my parents house once. (where they grew up is only about 8 miles from there) Both live somewhere in Spain now I believe... but one of the best climbs in the country you have to go past my parents house one way or the other if doing a circuit to it!

Anyone own a rowing machine? Looking at a Concept 2 right now, any recommendations?

Really was one of the best TDF's I've seen. Cofidis with 2 wins plus some incredible rides from Kwiatkowski, Bilbao, Gall... Then you had Asgreen winning from a breakaway that never had more than a minute and a half in 100+k, crazy.
