So are drunk people also ok to drive in Minnesota now, or is this specifically for the purposes of making rape more consequence-free?

In short: Right now NFT's are built on an absolute house of cards constructed by the people selling them.
It is likely that _every_ NFT sold so far will be broken within a decade.
Will that make them worthless? Hard to say

if you're eligible for a vaccine in your state stop doing this noble "i'll wait for someone at higher risk" shit and fucking get your vaccine my GOD.
What's this, deserving players will be left off the all-star team? Let's not Pikachu-face here. 2021 is going to be a year of many "firsts", but this is not going to be one of them.

Courts blocked Biden from halting deportations, and yet the Twitter people are blaming Biden...
I will confidently claim that picking Dr Oz to host Jeopardy is one of the stupidest business decisions of all time. It might very well beat out New Coke. It’s insane how much goodwill this will destroy.

The All-Star Game is a wholly unnecessary risk. Name an All-Star team, make the donations to HBCU anyway, let players have a week to breathe, don't bring people from 15-20 different places to one and then back out. Kinda can't believe this is a thing.

Infuriating that this culminated in a shutdown of the vaccination site, even a temporary one, rather than the swift arrest and detention of the people who blocked access to it. latimes.com/california/story…

At our current pace, it would take a year to vaccinate 80% of the country, assuming a 2-dose vaccine. (I'd expect the pace will keep improving.)
But 3m shots/day seems like a useful benchmark. At that pace, you could give 80% of the country a one-dose booster shot w/in 3 months.
This is about the third such story I have heard. It will not be long before stories turn more tragic and we start to hear about failures where the vaccines expire un-administered. We should be acting with this sense of urgency 24/7.
Hundreds of local people raced to Swedish Medical Center and the University of Washington in the middle of the night to get a COVID shot after a vaccine emergency caused by a freezer failure at a local community hospital.

In other words, we should be vaccinated with an intense urgency that reflects the fact that getting people vaccinated earlier would, in actual fact, save lots of lives.
Every time I read stories like this, I have the same reaction. We should act with a sense of urgency as if, just spitballing here, there were currently a pandemic raging that might kill a lot of people if we don't do this.

“the US failure to authorize the AstraZeneca vaccine in the midst of a pandemic when thousands are dying daily and a factory in Baltimore is warmed up and ready to run is a tragedy and dereliction of duty of epic proportions” marginalrevolution.com/margi…

I now know a small amount about stocks. If I have this correctly, it appears that a lot of wealth has been transferred from some very rich men to a different group of very rich men, with a small but notable amount dripping down to some upper middle class people.
.@ryancohen has made $90M a day for the past 2 weeks on Gamestop since he bought 10% of the company back in August. Watch to see other risky bets that have paid off handsomely.

Some experts say we will almost certainly hit herd immunity in July, it is just a question of how. You can open Door A where that's because everyone got the contagious variant, and lots of them die, or choose Door B where you GET SHOTS IN PEOPLE'S ARMS NOW.
