Your argument is a form of selective skepticism. You highlighted real measurement imperfections but then ignored the larger body of evidence that checks and corrects for them. Pointing to the United States Climate Reference Network proves little. It covers only the United States and only about 20 years of data, far too small and short to judge global climate trends. When its data are compared with adjusted U.S. datasets maintained by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the warming trend is similar, which directly contradicts the claim that siting problems are producing a false signal.

Your complaints about poorly sited stations in the United States Historical Climatology Network also miss the point. Poor siting can affect absolute temperatures, but the 'rate of change over time', the actual climate signal, remains nearly the same once standard corrections are applied.

Finally, satellite records from the University of Alabama in Huntsville are presented as if they contradict surface data. Clealry, they do not. Satellites measure the lower atmosphere, not the surface, and despite using a completely different method they still show a similar long-term warming trend.

In short, this line of argument does not overturn the evidence for warming; it simply cherry-picks uncertainties while ignoring the fact that multiple independent measurement systems converge on the same conclusion. That is not a refutation of the data, it is a textbook example of denial. The science is clear and we have the peer reviewed evidence to back up fact that we are cooking our planet. Why? Just so a few people can get needlessly richer.

Beliefs like yours are what terminal social stupidty looks like.

sigh, we don't need to decouple the spin when spacecraft can easily match the spin of the station

did you not watch 2001: A Space Oddessy?

all one needs do is balance two sections of a cable and spin, this will create basic up and down in each section

it's no wonder collectively we're in trouble

I won't argue it's one of the methods used to keep people oppressed. United we stand, divided we fall.

If you can't see how proprietary platforms limit consumer choice, there's no point in our discussing this further, is there?

If you're going to troll, try to be better at it.

Let's see, an appeal to authority and ad homien reasoning.

A perfect example that when people don't have a counter-argument, they invarible attack thier opponent personally in an attempt to draw them into a mud fight. This is a last ditch effort to bring the econversation down to thier level so they don't feel like they've lost an argument.

So I'll rephrase the point for your benefit.

When 10% of people are hoarding 90% of all the capital, that only leaves 10% of all capital for the 90% of the rest of us to manage with. People cannot manage because we do not have fair or adequate access to capital.

It can't be capitalism without capital. Economic slavery is still slavery. That inadeqaute paycheck is a collar.

I don’t think it’s accurate to say that classism is just another form of tribalism. Tribalism is mainly about identity and group belonging. It’s the tendency for people to divide into “us” and “them” based on shared culture, beliefs, ethnicity, or other markers of one's identity. The key feature is loyalty to one’s own group and suspicion or favoritism in relation to other groups. It doesn’t necessarily imply that one group is objectively higher or lower, only that it’s different.

Classism, on the other hand, is specifically about social hierarchy. It divides people according to wealth, occupation, education, or status and assumes that some groups are superior while others are inferior. So while tribalism creates boundaries between groups, classism ranks those groups within a structured system of inequality. In that sense, they may sometimes overlap in real societies, but they are clearly not the same thing.

The great news is we already have alternatives, it's called buying cheap used gear online, from places like far east, the last motherboard I bought was an older ASUS WS DDR4 workstation board and the same vendor supplied and pretested the new RAM. The performance is not much less for what I want to do and the price was less than half of what i woud have paid retail. It took longer but fortunately I wasn't in rush as I just wanted to get a cheap Linux server with lots of RAM to mess around with bigger models and vector databases. There's a whack of used and recycled hardware out there, people just have to start scrounging around, it's not the same economy that it used to be.

Not only that but I can get deals on stuff being liquidated, for sale cheap at thrift stores or e-waste recyclers. Another goldmine is municiplaties and universities that sell used computer and office equipment cheap as they are always buying new stuff.

People need to buy the right gear too. I bought a zenfone because my last zenfone lasted eight years, a good investment. I had to order one from Taiwan, since no one sold them locally. I try to avoid Mac or any other closed or confined market. That's the great thing about the PC, it's mostly open standards so people can do anything they want to and can afford to. All stuff should be based on open standards. That's why I'm carefully to only support comapnies and people who also support ethical and open standards. Everyone needs to do what they can, where they can.

They clearly failed to perform proper due diligence before appointing the CEO. There's clearly no shortage of incompetent people in a corrupt economy.

if you can't see global economic inequality, you're deliberately not looking

if you haven't heard that the gap between the richest and the poorest is large and growing, you aren't listening

if you are unaware of how many people are suffering and dying because of classism it's because you're close minded, in denial and are a part of the problem

don't worry about it, it's just too deep for you anyways, the last thing you want is too hear is the uncomfortable truth that most of us are economically enslaved

none of the crap on the market would exist if people didn't buy but that's not weird, that's programming

you don't think they spend all that money on advertising and market manipulation for nothing do you?

the rich make crap just so the poor have only crap the rich got needlessly richer by selling that very same cheap to make worthless crap

Greed, irresponsibility and selfishness are far worse, tribalism is nothing compared to classsim, rich people are powerfil and self-serving, they have literrly hoovered up all our capital and now most people are wallowing in poverty

that's the real problem

qwcan't have capitalism without capital, so we get economic slavery, yes boss, no boss, right away boss

but it takes real evil to cheat and steal from billions by corrupting our societies, face facts, we live in a classist society domninated by the upper class, there's no democracy, free enteerprise or rule of law, what we have is economic slavery and indebtured servitude, indeed, this is exactly what evil looks like

it's easier for a camel to get through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter the gates of heaven

for a perfect picture of what complete evil looks like just look at our political leaders and our CEOs

designed to limit consumer choice and rip off the public, something classist corporations excel at

this is exactly what evil looks like

Sorry, not buying your suger coated crap
Tell me, how is science doing in solving the opiod crisis, global warming or class exploitatin, billions living in poverty and dispair ?

no, you a privleged first worlder just pretrent 'science' benefits everyone, but not equally

the rich get most of the benefits, while the poor pay most of the price

people are dying in vast numbers and the scale of injustice is global and what we get is denail and self-justrifications
