Recovering from a massive hangover from yesterday's parade after parties. Jeremy Pena could have any woman in the city of Houston if he wanted.

Intruder posted:speaking of which did NFTs just like, go away? I haven't heard about NFTs in forever For some reason we are still seeing some gaming companies trying to push NFTs like Square Enix, but other than them it’s dead. People quickly figured out that it was just a big pump and dump scam. The only ones who made money were the very early people who sold high to a bunch of rubes

I got an email from MLB this weekend saying something like “Claim your Commemorative World Series Ticket!”, which I was excited about since Minute Maid doesn’t do paper tickets anymore. The excitement lasted about ten seconds before I opened the email and realized it was some stupid loving NFT thing MLB partnered with.

Is there actually a practical difference between a nft ticket and a non nft ticket? Like don’t you have to print out the latter? Can you not print the former? I recognize nfts are scams and worthless but so is memorabilia kinda. It seems about the same level as a commemorative plate. But I’m old so I have a specious grasp on this. Or were you hoping the Astros would send you an old school ticket stub?

Me too, but I DID get a program while I was there which is cooler and harder to lose than a ticket stub.

If the Astros offer you a commemorative old school ticket… and they don’t make them anymore… then what’s the difference if it’s a nft? It’s fair to just think it’s not worth paying for or to have preferred the team send you one of those old paper tickets that they just fabricate as memorabilia. But either way it’s just some memorabilia being made to be sold. So i guess the difference between a nft and not nft is whether there’s a physical item sent to you?

That makes it sound like a one year extension. If that's all winning the world series gets you then Crane is making it a pretty unappealing job

I get why Dusty would stay - great paycheck and he honestly doesn't have to do a ton of work.

You hold up the ticket scanning line for 15 minutes as the worker has to call over their manager from the other side of the stadium because they don't know how to handle your print out.

It seems about the same level as a commemorative plate. But I’m old so I have a specious grasp on this. I have a bunch of framed postseason tickets from prior games I’ve attended, including 2017  , and I just thought it would be cool to add this year’s ticket to it.
