All this talk of compassion, but honestly, life's a bit cruel. I walk by people begging for money every day. It's so ice cold of me. If that was your brother, you'd be a psychopath.

This guy died in 2023. Ketamine overdose. Found dead in his jacuzzi. Not a happy man. I don't feel this was properly discussed. Just a news headline and now nobody cares. Entertainers are like toilet paper. Used once and then disposed of.

Yeah, worst decision ever. I kept my first unit as a rental because prices fell when we bought our first house. Managing tenants was a pain. It took a lot of work for very little return.

I think Monero being delisted by every major centralised exchange actually shows it has real economic value.

You only censor what you are afraid of.

I hope Bitcoin gets really good privacy tech one day so it gets delisted from exchanges.

there's a huge gulf of chemical property differences between hydrogen sulphide and carbon dioxide, or for that matter nitrogen oxide versus nitric oxide versus ammonia

carbon dioxide is not very soluble in water, and even less soluble in brine, and its optimal solubility is achieved at around 4'C and at several atmospheres of pressure

being that the pressure at the surface of contact between the air and the sea is literally one atmosphere (virtually the definition of it) this means that as a gas that modifies sea pH, it has a trivial, trivial trivial contribution to any changes in the sea pH, unless somehow gravity suddenly increased and the pressure increased and it became more soluble, or the temperature dropped to an average of 4'C in the ocean, and somehow the salinity dropped as well

hydrogen sulfide, on the other hand, is far more soluble in sea temperature water at 1 atmosphere, as are many of those nitrogen compounds

methane, also, is highly questionable as a serious danger because, first of all, it tends to rise as it is lower density, and because it is prone to oxidation, it is prone to converting into CO2 once it gets into the UV and ionising radiation regions in the upper atmosphere like the ionosphere, which is well above the part where total internal reflection causes the greenhouse effect

further, CO2 is heavier than air, so as soon as that methane rises and bumps into O3 and reacts due to some additional IR, the reaction product is 2x H2O and 1x CO2

Water is the most potent greenhouse gas, far beyond any of the others, because it has the highest latent heat capacity, and that property is predicated upon its capacity to form hydrogen bonds with itself, which we see as surface tension in the liquid phase, and refraction in the gas

methane combustion produces twice as much water as CO2, but that's a bit inconvenient for the climate cult because water also stabilises temperature, as it holds huge amounts of thermal energy in its orbit, and thus naturally reaches an equilibrium in the atmosphere that combined with sufficient atmospheric volume and magnetic field from the core of the planet protects us from radiation and enables us to live long enough without mutations to our stem cells that large life forms can flourish on the surface

every sign we see around us suggests that the planet is highly metastable and that only large external influences can cause catastrophes, such as comet and meteor strikes, solar fluctuations and gravity effects from alignments of orbits

humans are also a tiny fraction of life on this planet, indeed within our bodies our cells aren't even the majority!

all this doomsday shit is just by way of convincing people to tolerate the impoverishment of devaluation of their money, and that's why Bitcoin is so important

Bummer. Is this to say that since a note contains an encrypted attestation/signature it cannot legally be transmitted over radio even though the note’s actual content is unencrypted plain text?

but CO2 is not the problem

it is safe for us and for animals and for the planet at least 3x current levels, there is no reason to think that it causes a problem

our lungs typically have much higher levels than even that during healthy respiration

one of the first things you notice about evil people is they are always looking for someone else to blame

in this case, they have been tampering with the weather for a long time

i just saw recently some flurry about a hotspot that has been developing in the upper atmosphere over the north pole recently, a pattern that has been associated with a sudden cold snap blasting blizzards across the two northern continents

there is also massive radio arrays in alaska and in several locations across the USA and across the vast northern country of russia that are known to be microwave emitters and it is also known that certain frequencies of microwave radiation can induce heat in certain kinds of gases, such as 20ghz and oxygen

using this and who knows what other technologies as a weapon in military activities needs a cover story for when it fails - and for when it succeeds, and what better cover story than to blame literally everyone for the tampering of a small number of individuals who are doing this for "national security"

it's also quite a handy scapegoat for people who own investments in marginal new energy technologies, who have connections in the banking and media establishment, and the amount of centralization of the control of these organisations was on display 2020-2022 and if you don't see the connection, well, i dunno what to say, i haven't got any more time to explain it

Ham’s have weird paleolithic ideas about encryption which prevents doing anything interesting with it.

atmospheric CO2 is at its lowest level in a long time, and every indoor pot grower knows it, and you know your grower knows it if your flowers are dank because you can't get dank flowers without CO2 at 2-3x *urban* atmospheric levels

oh and also to note that hemoglobin requires CO2 to release O2, look up hypocapnia

Ah, good point! Without enough essential amino acids, you’ll have a surplus of non-essential amino acids and the liver can only store so much, so your kidneys take the hit and have to get rid of it.

Just keep in mind that incomplete proteins =/= only non-essential amino acids. Incomplete proteins also contain essential proteins, just not all 9 of them. Though, I would need to look up actual breakdowns to get a feeling for the essential / non-essential ratios.

I did look up some more information on the metabolic cost of processing proteins and it seems like there are more energy costs involved than I was taught in uni. Next to breaking down proteins into amino acids, there’s also the conversion of amino acids into other amino acids, protein synthesis, folding, transportation, posttranslational modifications and other processes.

you can choose to engage them as contractors then the ball is out of your court

yeah, diesel on rails is the way for freight imo

and diesel on ships

in the city hybrid 4 cylinder diesels with supercaps and 6cyl power for short bursts on the electric for longer runs and short runs can be straight electric

without the distortions of government redistribution we'd be using the most efficient systems

really the energy problem is a government problem
