There's no loophole, you can use your ETH while also using WETH. When you're converiting ETH into WETH, you are essentially creating a new token that is tied to the value of ETH. So you can still use your original ETH while also using WETH. You can convert your ETH to WETH and back as needed. The original ETH will be locked up in the smart contract until you decide to convert.

While I appreciate it, it's not a monumental achievement for me.

I like to say that sober me is not an alcoholic, but tipsy me is. I have no problem at all not drinking, but if I start I have a hard time stopping. It's just easier for me to not drink than to try to practice moderation.

I say this to point out that I haven't faced the same struggles quitting that true alcoholics do.

> I’m not sure how the tardigrade could be entangled. From my (limited) understanding, entangled particles don’t remain entangled if they are far apart or if something else “touches” one of them, which is not at all how it is explained in the article.

There is no known or conjectured limit on the distance of entangled particles. We have created and maintained entanglement over kilometers (newest result between two atoms on Earth was 50km; photons in space was 1200km). You can also perfectly well "touch" them; if A, B are entangled, you can entangle B with C without it loosing the entanglement with A. It is unknown what the limit for the amount of entangled atoms is, or if there even is one.

Hence it is potentially possible to entangle a tardigrade. The issue here is the question if that actually happened and many disagree. But the discussion is still up and should be left to those that actually work on such things on a daily basis.

Some currencies have their own index that they compare themselves against. This is usually based on the amount of trade with the other countries. But for the most part is is fine to use the dixie and dollar for the other currancies.

Thank you for your answer! What about other currencies? Is my assumption correct? When we say that X currency is rising/falling it is always relative to the USD? (In any parts of the world, since I do not live in the US)

Thank you, so there is no loophole that people are using to use the ETH while the WETH is in circulation?

>What happens to the original ETH token?

When a wrapped token is created, the original cryptocurrency that is being represented is locked up in a smart contract on the new blockchain. This smart contract ensures that for every wrapped token that is created, the underlying cryptocurrency is held in reserve. When someone wants to convert their wrapped token back into the original cryptocurrency, the smart contract will release the corresponding amount of the original cryptocurrency to them. The original token is not destroyed or affected in any way during this process.

A wrapped token is essentially "removed" from circulation while its wrapped. It can not be used in a transaction on the ETH network whike its out of network.

We use what is knows as the US Dollar Index, or Dixie for short. This is a weighted average of various other currencies. Euro is the biggest other currency but it also looks at Yen, Pound, Canadian dollars, Krona and Franc.

Well done. Two years is a monumental achievement.

Brand wars, basically. A few major brands have taken open pops at their competitors in the past, and essentially it tends to create an expensive 'gloves are off' p***ing contest where each escalates, trying to put the other one in their place for a while, but ultimately achieving very little. These days it's mostly considered a very poor idea to do it. It's also looked down on by most reputable firms and ad agencies as lazy and talentless. They often feel you get much better (and more 'bloodless') results by emphasising your own strengths rather than taking a dump on your competitors.

Have you tried their cactus lime, though? I've been sober for 2 years with no real ceavings, but I really miss one of those after a day of working outside.

According to the article itself, their experiment seems to be bogus, not much unlike me electrocuting myself on a power outlet and claiming to be a lightning wizard.

What they did was entangle two qubits the same way as always, and then touched the little guys on it to "pair them up" like some sort of quantum bluetooth.

This reminds me how petty and desperate the Apple commercials were.

Because they are paying big money to get airtime.

The MOST important thing that they are trying to accomplish is establishing name recognition. Nobody really remembers the rest of the commercial.

Why would they give more name recognition to their competitor for free?

(Name recognition. The effect that when you go to think of a product category, it's what pops into your mind first? Quick: think of an electric car company. Whatever you thought of - name recognition is why)

Michelob is people! IT’S PEOPLE!

Same goes with Apple and Samsung/the rest of the phone industry, apple often pretends they are the only company in the world, often comparing to themselves and not competition. Samsung on the other hand has made entire series on bashing apple

The tours are free and easy to take. But do you know anyone who's come back from one to tell you about it? Nope me neither.

Speakers work by moving back and forth to move the air which goes to your ears.The higher the sound the speaker is playing, the faster it wobbles.

If a speaker is playing a high sound and a low sound, the speaker kinda just wobbles fast in between the slow wobbles.

Anyways, thats a ELI5, there are other things that i kinda glossed over.

> like saying Michelob makes you a cannibal.

You will receive a letter from my lawyer. Unless you pay me 5 dozens of beer.

Marvel used to do this a bunch, but they were mostly doing it for fun. They referred to other brands of comics as, "The Distinguised Competition."

You're thinking of Wendigo.
