Iceman is giving away a chameleon tiny on twitter

In case anyone might be interested.

It would be interesting to see, I donā€™t know how reliable a comment or ā€œmerch messageā€ would be to get in contact with him or his team. I donā€™t know if maybe emailing their public business email might be a better option if your trying to give them video ideas or WAN show talking points.

I would definitely watch any video they did on it though (if they ever would).

I was thinking of just doing a merch message,
Eventually it would be amusing to see a full episode, but Iā€™m setting the bar low just to see if I can draw out a ā€œit seems coolā€ or ā€œhell naw, I want nothing to do with thatā€

I gotta be honest, I do appreciate their concept of it,
I know itā€™s largely based in not getting nickel and dined by big daddy google, but I appreciate the concept that you arenā€™t just throwing money into the voidā€¦. Worst case you still got something for any money you spent vs something like a super chat

Yeah I like the concept of merch messages. Iā€™ll never be able to catch a livestream, but it would be good to have for those that do and want to say something to the staff. I donā€™t want to know how much money Iā€™ve spent on their store, those WAN sweatpants are amazing.

I love my lttstore.com water bottle

Thatā€™s my plan to snag a water bottle

While I donā€™t worship at the feet of LTT
I support his putting his money where his mouth is with frame work, so I suppose I can do the same

Just trying to word a short and concise message to get read, but to avoid ā€œhur hur donā€™t track me broā€

Linus talking about biohacking would either be amazing for the community, or one of the worst things to happen to it. I donā€™t see a lot of in-between :stuck_out_tongue:

Meh,
Message showed on screen, had to super trim it to keep under 256

Typed resolve was shown

ā€œLinus wants one, but it hasnā€™t happenedā€¦yetā€

Or itā€™s just a brush offā€¦ either way it wasnā€™t a no lol

Plus, although itā€™s across the border, LMG is only 2 hours from Seattle (In Surrey, BC just outside of Vancouver). Fairly close as far as any type of collab goes.

Would love to see something happen with this.

Imagine if we actually brought linus up to speed about the Visa/MasterCard stuff and he put them on blast in regards to payment stuff

:thinking::exploding_head: one can dream

Itā€™s a semi bullshit offer, but Iā€™d foot the bill for a NExT or xSIID if he actually has it installed (and not immediately taken out)

Wasnā€™t Linus remodeling his new house? I donā€™t watch his channel that often but I see an oprtunity to get him to set up a reader or smart lock for the implant and maybe even get a few reviews on smart locks that include information about implant compatibility.

Well, a cyborg can dreamā€¦

I just saw an Ebay advert on a website. Six images below which it just said ā€œEbay Just the thing you wantedā€

I can only assume that they try and customize the images for each potential customer, but if so they have a really odd idea of what I might want.

The three images on the top row wereā€¦

A typewritten list that I couldnā€™t read taped into a book.

A ā€œstock listā€ that appeared to be parts for a Ford Escape.

A letter from Tug McGraw to a fan.

On the bottom row the images were equally odd.

A car on a hoist that had clearly hit something very hard (the engine compartment was now triangular, the windscreen was shattered, the car was totalled).

A list of clothing size comparisons.

A photocopied page from what looked like a car service manual.

I really have to wonder what Ebay thinks of me based on that assemblage.

Youā€™re obviously a mechanic who spends all day listening to country and shopping for clothes lol

I honestly feel a bit better about the algorithmsā€¦ they are garbage

I forget how, but you can dig into your facebook data, to see what things they associate with you

and its just a fucking field dayā€¦ now only were there thousands of tags, most of them were not even remotely accurateā€¦

to top it off, it seems to just randomly gererate associated tagsā€¦
I deleted ALL of them, and then turned off my phone, and logged back in 5 minutes later,ā€¦ .
not having used any deviceā€¦ or done anything electronically
and there were like 50 tags, one of them was ā€œrock climbingā€ā€¦
lol at no point in the past 5 minutes did I do anything regarding rock climbing, nor do I have any interest in itā€¦ gravity is not my friend in general, and its one of the few sports my mangled wrist would likely prevent me for succeeding in

basically I think the algorithm, is so swamped in its own data that its almost self broken

Tim McGraw is a country singer, Tug McGraw was a baseball player. I should add that I listen to country more than I watch/follow baseball. And I donā€™t listen to Country.

I avoid Facebook. I tried to join back when they first started and you had to be a college attendee or graduate.

They didnā€™t want me as neither of my degrees were from American universities. I have since managed to avoid them with the exception of whatever embedded tracking they have in other sites.
