OK, MacMann. You're a fucking idiot. Let's talk about some of the dumb shit you wrote, you fucking moron:

20% right as usual, Morty. We reduced clear-cutting of forests. We did not stop logging. We do not stomp out every tiny fire. Why don't you do some reading before running your sausage fingers? https://www.fs.usda.gov/sites/...

A bunch of vapid bullshit and vague, worthless statements.

What an ignorant fucking statement, you cunt. The federal government controls and manages most of the forested areas of California. The feddy gov, run by the orange shitball, your daddy, is such a good manager, he poured a lot of water into the ocean to fight a fire hundreds of miles away.

You suspect? From your basement you never leave, except to huff and puff upstairs to grab some rice krispies treats your mom made? So somehow California steals the rain above forests and puts them in drinking cups? You're so fucking ignorant, it's amazing you can type. It's called the water cycle. Elementary school children learn this. You were too busy getting fucked in the ass by your PE teacher to notice? With this kind depth and duration of dumbfuckery, your posts are starting to look like malice. California didn't take away irrigation from forests. I just... What the fuck is wrong with you?

California has failed to produce low CO2 energy? Motherfucker, get some facts. https://seia.org/wp-content/up...

Perhaps you can help by no longer breathing? That would cut CO2 emissions. Go the fuck away.

Factually incorrect, the maximum sentence for blackmail in England is 14 years in prison.

Oh look, whoever you are. Nobody knows you.

And American cars were still shit. If you RTFA I linked you'll see that the best of the 90s and 2000s were not what was destroyed.

Now go off to cry to someone else about your tiny penis, you will not be missed.

We never finished the first one. The losers were allowed to keep their flags and their guns. Instead of trying to be one big happy country we should have freed all the Africans and enslaved the Southerners, since they love slavery so much. Then we could have them picking fruit right now.

Mostly too rich. There are potential problems we don't want to deal with, and will pay to avoid it.

They can probably get local character set equipped key caps from China.

People can and do service their own transmissions, in particular doing a fluid and filter change is generally a pretty easy job. There are also modifications and upgrades to transmissions. You can buy "built" transmissions which include heavy duty parts which can handle larger power, torque, and/or shock loads than stock ones. There are "kits" of aftermarket parts which either address wear over time or even correct design deficiencies like either lazy or excessive engagement of clutches.

What's the measurement? If it's "GDP" then sure, the economy is booming. But GDP is itself meaningless to sustainability, which is the most important thing to measure in anything you hope to keep doing. If you want to keep having an economy, for example, you have to keep having consumers who have money so they can participate in it...

Hardware, yes. But what will you do with it? It's only really good for a few types of task. Where it's GPU-based, as all the Nvidia stuff is, you could use it for lots of different types of tasks. But Services? Energy needs to get a lot cheaper for that to be feasible, because providing services on this hardware is predicated upon using a lot of energy.

A bubble is "a good or fortunate situation that is isolated from reality or unlikely to last". What's good about it, profit for those who are profiting. Why's it isolated from reality, all three of those reasons. Why's it unlikely to last, reality is inexorable, no amount of ignoring it will cause it to change.

One bubble, at least three reasons why it's bubbling. Probably we could identify a bunch more, like nerd fantasy. One of the consequences of techbros being in a position to decide what society does with itself is that they will send us on tech-related wild goose chases.

The goal of making ourselves obsolete is typically self-defeating when we can't even agree to let humans have free time when they don't need to be working.

Been watching the news lately? "Never" is a long time.

C4C destroyed mostly old shitpiles with poor efficiency, so it was effective in reducing hydrocarbon emissions.

I suspect a lot of these machines will go to the third world and get refurb'd into PCs there, so people will benefit anyway. In fact, a significant percentage of them will probably get Windows 11 installed on them using the bypasses...

Microsoft put the same telemetry they put into 10 into 7 and 8 via updates. Some of those were "updates" that included nothing but telemetry, sometimes they bundled the telemetry with actual updates so if you wanted one you had to have the other. There are scripts and other tools to remove those updates, but if you are not using those and you have been doing updates, they all spy on you.

This will be fucking great. They'll strip mine the moon, and then we can all see their mess from Earth.

Interlune ... that's lune as in lunatic.

You would need to add at least a couple of 0s for it to even begin to seem reasonable.
