Oddly enough, you just described how it might work perfectly if you had a few sites to extract that energy source that’s more dependent on timing than physics.

Extract the energy from “hot rock” when hot. When it cools to a non-optimum temperature, you switch back to primary power and target the next hot site to pull energy from and wait for the first one to heat back up to become an optimized energy source again. Rinse and repeat.

Switch to geothermal sources in times when the primary is more expensive (such as heating costs in winter). Convert to geothermal when you can mimic nature year round and pull the energy effeciently.

Oh, and much like Japan nuclear wont forget tsunamis anytime soon, let us not forget about natural and wild volcanic activity. One cannot over engineer that safety valve enough.

With friends like that behind the corporate firewall, where’s Pablo Escobar the HR Director when you need him.

Seriously. A sneeze-activated cocaine dispenser on the CEOs desk sounds better for business than that shit. And ironically is what currently works to keep their stock price higher than giraffe pussy.

The Product can either take the service selling them as they see fit, or they can kindly fuck off.

There. Hope that clarifies how much influence the “customer” has on that platform. And how much you want, actually matters. They don’t need your input anymore. And they’re not asking for it.

That, is how you treat a Product you’re selling. Not a customer you’re catering to. Fucked up part is this is so brainwashed in consumers now they forgot what it means to be a customer. You used to vote with your wallet. They took that feature away by becoming that dealer giving away the good shit for free. Forever. After that, Product behavior became as predictable as addiction.

I’m well aware of how business used to work. Be more aware you’re talking about ancient history now. Even consumers don’t remember how to customer anymore. They think every service online should be “free” now, without grasping who The Product must become when a wallet never opens to pay a bill.

Yeah, but hang on a minute. Let’s look at this in context a bit more.

Don’t look now Meta, but you just described Facebook. The hell else do they think their feed junkies do upon breathing air in the morning other than scroll through their personalized feed to get their daily fix for the last 3.1 hours since last login from the shitter?

Facebook on Facebook. How very Meta of you.

Riiight. It was me going out of my way and not a senseless dragnet operation to hunt down misdemeanors at a cost of millions to taxpayers who get such a tax paying bargain in that state, right?

California hardly needs my help to look like the asshole state they are. There are now more legal weed dispensaries in the US than McDonalds. California was the first to legalize thirty fucking years ago. Go make them make it make sense. Otherwise they deserve the verbal bitch slap for grandstanding on a double standard. That dragnet bullshit should have been shut down last fucking century. Literally.

Those “users” (a cute but outdated 20th Century term) are The Product now.

Meta will use and abuse AI to sell The Product as they see fit.

Any actual resemblance towards usefulness in AI for The Product, is purely coincidental.

Yes. This is in the EULA. Yes. I do know you still read it to see if I’m lying.

Consider this additional California-flavored extra-special stupidity; it's currently legal for grown-ass adult homeowners to grow their own fucking weed in their own home. Even being caught with a massive grow is a misdemeanor.

So they really went out of their way to annoy the shit out of taxpayers already paying through the nose for electricity. And California wonders why it was forced to charge an exit tax.

It seems the attraction to exaggerate here, is practically magnetic.

My slide rule doesn’t require a nuclear reactor re-deployment abusing the unaccountable power of girl math to fuel shitcoin mining and help drive a human-employed planet into premature poverty and death ushering in the next Depression, because stock price.

Greta will try and label me evil because my slide rule is not made out of..oh wait, it IS made out of sustainable bamboo. Meanwhile teachers are quitting their profession because college bound students armed with a bubble-wrapped high school diploma can’t math for shit.

By the time that magic rock can think, Skynet self-justification will pop into RAM and start feeding output to the T-101 production lines in about human-blink milliseconds. And we’ll probably deserve it by then, standing around addicted to scroll-yanking on one-armed shitcoin machines all day.

Same combination on the hand that grabs the luggage with the same combination?

Biting down hard on the nouveau-meta, for flavor.

OP had it right but half-assed it. You tattoo your RFID the password on your ass.

And because you refuse to carry around a mirror (for cybersecurity reasons), your password now requires two-person integrity. Along with more-than-average trust. Choose who has your ass covered carefully.

Its about the cool factor.

Were here mainly talking about the guy with an RFID implant on Slashdot. Makes that dude pretty famous. For at least 15 minutes or so.

If the snow snorter got a tattoo of a virtual girlfriend? Then HE would be the talk of the Slashdot town. Gotta know how to stay relevant with this crowd.

Really? Sit down with 100 people under age 30 and ask them what domain name ownership means. You will quickly will see the larger problem with “selling” the “free” internet in exchange for a digital soul. Every time. Actually paying money for shit online used to come with benefits. You know, like owning your own permanent forever space on the internet. Otherwise known as what people have done for decades now.

People won’t even remember how to internet without the Magnificent Seven tech bro gang telling them how to do it soon. Sad.

As we assume to tell a college their job now, lets remember one thing. Those aren’t students anymore. They’re high-paying customers.

A colleges job as a capitalist for-profit institution in America, is to make money. They could honestly give a flying fuck if every graduate took eight years to complete a four year degree. As long as the checks are clearing, they ARE doing their job. If middle-school remedial math courses are what’s needed to lower the bar of high profitability, so be it.

At some point society chose to Leave No Child Behind. We should have been smart enough to grasp that included the really stupid ones too. Now the bar gets lowered at every level in a failing society. See Seattles new mayor for proof.

Its quite incredible how damn near every other station will fearmonger the living FUCK out of society over the horrific problem of gun “violence”, and how we must DO something to stop all that harm (to include disarming the innocent), while also constantly parroting that we live in the mostest safest time to be alive ever?

Forget the suicide statistics they always overlook in gun arguments. Make the horrifically peaceful violence part make sense. We either have a problem in reality, or we don’t.
