Apple Blocks Coinbase Wallet App From Sending NFTs Because of In-App Purchase Dispute
Coinbase Wallet says that Apple would not approve an app update until the NFT-sending feature was disabled, and the removal of the functionality will make it more difficult for iPhone users who have an NFT to transfer the NFT to other wallets or gift an NFT to friends or family. The developers behind the app say that Apple has introduced profit-protecting policies that come at the expense of “developer innovation across the crypto ecosystem.” Coinbase Wallet is hoping that this is a mistake and has tweeted an invitation to Apple to discuss the matter.

Watch as cockatoo deliberately pushes plant plot from apartment balcony – sending it crashing onto busy pavement
THIS is the moment a cockatoo deliberately pushes a plant pot off an apartment balcony, sending it crashing to the busy pavement filled with pedestrians below.
The sulphur-crested cockatoo was filmed picking up the plants on a balcony and dropping them onto the footpath.

Footage shows the naughty bird perched on the seventh floor of an apartment building as bystanders look on.
A construction worker was seen keeping a beady eye on the feathery culprit in Melbourne, Australia.
In the film a man can be heard warning pedestrians to “just be careful… He’s not happy. Here comes another one”.
A man using a mobility scooter was among those nearly hit by a falling pot on Monday.
It’s not the first time the bird has caused chaos either.
Resident Jason told ABC Radio Melbourne: “It started happening during lockdown. I think it is quirky and funny.
“There is nothing you can do about it. At the end of the day it is nature.”
Cafe manager Lucie Amulet said: “It happens every year. They mostly drop plants but also socks as well. I think it is fun.”
After seeing the footage, Western Sydney University animal ecology lab researcher John Martin said: “Wilfully throwing pot plants off a multi-storey balcony is a new observation – it is bizarre and fascinating.”
The video has also picked up hundreds of comments from amused viewers.
One said: “Haha he’s looking down at everyone thinking ‘what are you gonna do? Call the cops?’”
Another viewer wrote: “I like how he looks down to inspect his handy work.”
Others though considered the possible nightmare of having to lodge an insurance claim.
One woman joked: “I like to claim insurance for my car.. a cockatoo dropped a pot on my windshield.”
Having been alerted to the footage, the City of Melbourne Council urged residents to remove pot plants and other sources of food from apartment balconies, which could attract birds.
Sulphur-crested cockatoos are intelligent animals but have become a pest in many urban areas of Australia, where the birds can use their beaks to flip wheelie bins and destroy timber decking and panelling on buildings, according to the Australian Museum.

Instead of using plates, you can use cheap trays[/caption]
Jessica Nelson shared on social media how she was prepping for Thanksgiving dinner.
The TikTok user had bought chip trays from a dollar store, which she was going to use as plates for her guests.
The trays were big enough that people could pile on as much food as they wanted without having to go back for seconds.
It would also save her the hours of clean-up that she would have to spend doing if she had used actual plates.
She dubbed the chip tray as the perfect Thanksgiving plate.
Following her uploading the video, many claimed her idea was “genius.”
One person wrote: “Yes! I hate food that touches!”
A second one commented: “This would be great for taking leftovers home!”

And a third commented: “I’ve done this for ten years and will never off anything else on Thanksgiving.”
Another trick that can make Thanksgiving ten times easier is making mashed potatoes the right way.
Cooking and lifestyle expert Lora McLaughlin Peterson posted a step-by-step guide on TikTok to enlighten those who enjoy homemade mashed potatoes without the skin.
First, Lora said to cook potatoes as you normally would.
“Grab a bowl and put a baking rack on top,” she instructed.
“Cut your potato in half, lay it on the rack, and smash.
“The rack mashes the potato while leaving the skin behind.”
Fellow TikTokers were impressed with the trick, with one saying the idea changed her life and encouraged Lora to trademark the tip.
Another commenter said people should put the unused potato skins in the air fryer and sprinkle them with salt and pepper for a tasty snack.
For those without access to a baking rack, there’s another hack to get the perfect mashed potatoes.
A TikToker previously shared she saves time and dishware by cooking her potatoes directly in milk.
“The potatoes absorb it anyway so why not… And it’s so good,” she said.
