Yeah I agree with that. I think there's definitely good use cases for computers to help us solve important needs.

I also think there's just things we already know the solution to, but don't get enough investment interest. And under capitalism, nothing is invested in unless someone thinks it can make them money.

I was kind of just typing whatever was coming in to my head; it wasn't really as coherent as I'd like it to be.

I don't think computers are bad per se. It was more that I think too much human effort is being put in to unimportant things to make quick easy money, and currently the frontier of quick easy money is 'the computing space.'

also EVEN IF YOU HAVE SOME from other sources, please order them anyway.

  1. You will have 4 more tests.
  2. You will make it slightly harder for them to say "We already tried giving out free covid tests and no one wanted them, so we don't plan to do anything like it again."

Get your tests and make the talking point slightly harder to use!

Contracts, court documents, deeds, that kind of stuff.

Most any bank or credit union will have a notary who you can get to notarize anything you want, usually free if you have an account there.

Anything you would want to be able to say "I signed this on X date", and this person witnessed.

I think the only thing using a block chain buys you over a normal notary is that everyone can see that the notary signed off on it in real time, so that if you have a corrupt notary (or one gets hacked) and they sign off on something while claiming they saw it before they actually did, people would be able to prove it.

You could however, make the signatures public without a block chain type scheme, to achieve this.

I think the restriction of never using letters that have been ruled out makes it harder to think of new words but it does help me to not waste guesses. Same goes for if a letter is confirmed to be in a certain spot, don't guess any words that don't have that letter in that spot.

This usually means i spend like 40 minutes on one wordle puzzle tho
