It’s not that we had enough power to guarantee we would make an impact. It’s that we had enough power that we should have tried.

Absolutely. Well played, I think that’s a great example of the self-referential bullshit feedback loop of sardonic behavior. No actual trigger intended.
- Comment on What interesting things can I do with my home WiFi network? 1 month ago:
Well, if you have Linux, there’s KDE Connect (works on Gnome, too).
My computer sound pauses when I get a call, i see phone notifications (that I want) on my computer, I copy something on my computer and then paste it on my phone… …the list goes on.

It’s just the age-old cycle of bad losing to good losing to weak, losing to bad.

- Comment on Is there any real physical proof that Jesus christ ever existed? 4 months ago:
shrug it’s a post currently showing up in “all”.
Go ahead and get another last word in if you like - you’re arguing with your own ghosts, mostly. Have a good night.
- Comment on Is there any real physical proof that Jesus christ ever existed? 4 months ago:
Pretty clear that’s the case here in the comments on this post.
- Comment on Is there any real physical proof that Jesus christ ever existed? 4 months ago:
Kinda cringey.

They are, in accordance with the teachings of Jim the Stegosaurus.

I don’t have a horse in this race, but man, let it drop. The person who’s fighting for ridiculous improbabilities here is you. Nobody you’re arguing with in this thread is even making a claim that Magic Jesus existed. Just that the man named Jesus who is talked about by the early Christians likely existed (which is scholarly consensus, not even a niche claim). They’re specifically not claiming that the fantastical claims made by the early Christians about that man are true.
- Comment on "Theory" of Evolution (SMBC) 5 months ago:
This. The institution of science is deeply biased towards the established knowledge base - partly due to monetary interests, partly due to ‘simple’ social inertia, like when someone doesn’t want some kid to come up with ideas that may invalidate things they have seen to (seem to) work.
Like with magnetohydrodynamics - it’s useful for modeling some things, but depends on the notion that space (as in, the interplanetary and interstellar medium) is either nonconductive or infinitely conductive - which simply isn’t the case.
Plasma cosmologists have made some really nutty assertions. However, ideas should be treated on their merit - and some of what they theorize has a lot of solidity. But in general, it’s treated with derision, because (admittedly) it also traffics in unicorns.
If someone who purports to traffic in unicorns also traffics in the Principia Mathematica, it doesn’t invalidate the latter.
- Comment on Sovereign Computing | Start9 6 months ago:
I do say that with certainty. And I didn’t claim that proof of stake has no environmental impact - it jist doesn’t have more impact than, for example, a web server.
If I start a carbon-neutral wing of an oil company, of course it doesn’t make an oil company carbon-neutral. However, that doesn’t impact the real value of other companies that actually are carbon neutral.
Similarly, Ethereum is, by far, not a “green” tech, and their usage of proof of stake can easily and reasonably be called greenwashing if they don’t also severely limit the usage of POW.
Proof of Stake, though, is not a power-hungry tech, period. And it is a means for crypto to become, overall, a nominal energy user. There are other chains out there (cardano, algorand, nano, and many others) that don’t use PoW and that use reasonable amounts of energy.
I appreciate your passion for the environment. But misrepresentation does not help your case, though misrepresentation may help those your fight.
