  My retirement accounts have suffered a whole lot more than a single ’once in a lifetime’ economic crisis, what’s one more? At least this time we know it’ll be better on the other side

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨‘The world is transitioning away from fossil fuels’: Gulf oil investors turn to African renewables⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  This is why I’m actually kinda happy Iran throttled the global oil supply, it’s literally the reason global warming is a problem in the first place.

  We can’t run on oil long term if we wish to continue existing on this planet and this squeeze means that renewables will be more widely accepted and hopefully accessible for everyone

  It’s Benn Jordan

  Also, the way they catalogue info is not just license numbers, but any unique combinations of bike racks, bumper stickers or the like. So your bike rack would make you very trackable in a way, but at least your identity would be harder to pinpoint

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Did Scientists Just Achieve "Inception"? Experiments Show “Dream Engineering” May Be a Reality⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Intriguing study. Most interesting that even people without any dream lucidity still benefit from this

  I don’t have any tough puzzles to solve but I bet this wouldn’t hurt to try for making tough life decisions using the same method

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why are americans taking health advice from a former heroin addict ?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I certainly don’t take health advice from that crypt keeper looking fucker, and I’m sure I’m far from the only one who doesn’t take health advice from unhealthy people

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Going to a Protest? Don't Bring Your Phone Without Doing This First⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Going to a protest? Don’t bring your phone without doing this first

  I’m skeptical of bringing your phone at all, either in airplane mode or off, because modern phones still broadcast location when it’s ‘dead’ in order for you to locate it. But I don’t know enough about that to say for sure

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Shout out to the NYE shift at all the Emergency Departments around the world.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  #6-8 look to still have their thumbs, they should be able to retain some function.

  The rest look like they all get pirate hooks for their stumps

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Reddit stock falls for second day as references to its content in ChatGPT responses plummet⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The bubble bursts when one of them can’t make their monthly payment.

  It’s the dot com bubble all over again

  Makes me think I should sell all my retirement stocks and stick it in bonds until the bottom falls out from under Nvidia

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Amazon faces US trial over alleged Prime subscription tricks⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I was wondering if anyone would take issue with that nonsense.

  I always accepted free trials for prime but also tracked the last day to cancel. It’s appalling how awful it is to get through to actually cancel

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Yes, you can store data on a bird — enthusiast converts PNG to bird-shaped waveform, teaches young starling to recall file at up to 2MB/s⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Starlings are invasive.

  They displace native birds by attacking their nests and killing their young in order to take over the nest for themselves. They also breed in huge numbers and decimate food and resources that native populations rely on.

  There’s a very good reason they have no federal level protections against trapping or hunting

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Yes, you can store data on a bird — enthusiast converts PNG to bird-shaped waveform, teaches young starling to recall file at up to 2MB/s⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Do you promise? All i want for Christmas is for starlings to fuck right off

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The US government could get even more Intel stock if the company ends up losing control of its chip manufacturing business⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Nationalizing any big company is kinda funny from the administration pushing to privatize everything else for their rich buddies to run

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Japanese Power Plant Turns Saltwater Into Electricity⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The reason being that dumping the brine back into the ocean creates a dead zone wherever that dump point is, since the relative concentration of salts is higher compared to regular seawater.

  They’re almost certainly recreating seawater just to help alleviate the dead zone effect and figured out how to get some free electricity out of it too

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I hate grass, I hate mowing it and the free time that eats. Its useless

  I’m slowly deleting patches by installing garden beds and pathways with things that are useful to me and wildlife and don’t need constant maintenance.

  My dream is to strip off the top layer of most of the yard and put down some grasses that don’t grow above 4-6 inches and other ground cover between my garden beds.
