Fuck yeah, that looks right up my street

Wheel’s turning, but the hamster’s dead

And not what you want the VP in…

Yeah, you gotta let it load sometimes

And comes all over it’s back?

Middle of the next debate, right in the forehead. Needs a good walk-off one liner to follow it though, that’s probably the biggest obstacle for him

Climate change is a real problem, we need to be very worried about what kind of a world we leave for Keith Richards

I reckon watching the video by the civil-engineering-focused YouTube channel would be a good way to find out

It’s not surprising that he’d get the occasional submarine malfunction, at his age

This nasty show my age, but this is about the only game release that I’ve been truly excited about in years

The post below this one in my feed is “Microsoft’s carbon emissions up by 30% due to ai”

That’s just false. The carrington event happened due to a sun spot on the sun’s equator. Last week’s was far further down, and was classified as “the strongest geomagnetic storm since 2003”. The CME from the carrington event was fired out of the sun on the solar plane, directly at the earth, while last week the CME was vaguely in our direction, but well below our orbit. The sun is a ball, not a flat disc, and it didn’t somehow steer the ejection toward us out of a sense of malice. The carrington event produced currents in static wire that were sufficient to set telegraph stations on fire. That would have tripped every breaker in the power grid, you can’t “harden” against that level of induction. It’s like saying that a practice amp and a Marshall plexi are the same volume because they both go up to ten on their volume knob. All you, and the pillock in that video, are saying is that you don’t understand the mechanism behind that number

Edit: adding a reference. The following article spells it out pretty damn well, written by someone who actually understands the subject - https://www.astronomy.com/science/a-large-solar-storm-could-knock-out-the-internet-and-power-grid-an-electrical-engineer-explains-how/

I saw someone refer to these stupid things as “Incel-Caminos”, and that’s the most perfect description of anything I’ve come across recently.

Biased against a moronic idea? I don’t quite see what you’re getting at. If he wasn’t biased against this he’d be an idiot. It’s a really stupid plan, like most tech-bro ideas turn out to be

Thanks, I have

Watching his whole series get accurately and factually rekt by an angry long-haired kid from New England was really rather pleasing
