Just incredible reversal of the "COVID winners" trade. The hotel business is booming. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-02-15/hilton-has-now-nearly-outperformed-zoom-video-since-the-pandemic-hit?sref=vuYGislZ $HLT $ZM

I also look forward to the day when I lose access to my car because someone exploited the smart contract.

At this point, people are just playing say what they see and sticking "but with NFTs" on the end without ever stopping to ask if it actually makes sense.

The “keep me signed in” checkbox is one of the lies I keep falling for over and over again 😛
