I picked up 20 NFC tags (link) and they seem to be alright with iOS after I (re?)format them to NDEF.
Anyway, I have a few things setup:
- tap to play music in the dining room over a Google Home speaker
- tap to turn off some lights and prep for bed etc
- tap to change some Hue scenes
... and that's about it. I don't have trouble waking up to an alarm, so I don't need to go down that route. Anyone have any fun things you're doing with tags?

I've spoken to a couple of my friends who have mentioned that sometimes they wear a special outfit or dress up in order to feel better/get out of a lull. Even when I'm feeling pretty good on the emotional front, I've noticed that I have some favorite pieces I regularly cycle through.
Do you have a favorite outfit, piece of clothing/accessory, type of fabric/style, or costume piece you enjoy wearing? What is it? How does that piece make you feel when you put it on? Do you wear it in public? Does the piece have any sentimental value? Not a totally related question, but if you were a cartoon character who wore the same outfit every episode, what would your outfit be?

That is 718 sales every second.
The Bitcoin network can process less than 5 transactions per second, while consuming almost as much energy as the entire nation of Argentina. It would take miners on the blockchain 144 days to process just 24 hours worth of sales from McDonald's.
The math only gets marginally better for Ethereum.
I feel very uncertain about how people can think that this is a viable replacement for conventional currencies and digital payment systems.
