Be super productive and your energy use rises also.

A single sector as an example.

It is harvest time in the upper half of the united states, the average farmer burns about 5.2KG of fossils fuels to produce 50KG of corn from opening the field to the local sale point. Another 2.5KG of fossil fuels is burnt to deliver it to the ports, and another half KG to deliver to international markets, before similar amounts of energy are used on transport to get it to foreign end users.

For that effort the farmer is rewarded the cash ebullient of 9KG of fuel, with that they have to upgrade and maintain their land, pay taxes, machines and pay themselves for the effort. 83% of farming is direct or indirect fuel costs (fertilizer is just another fuel), add another 10 for source materials and seed IP that is also largely past fuel consumption. Some of the most productive food growing in the united states is counted as per capita fuel consumption by Americans when 15% is shipped away as grain and another 5% to 10% is shipped away as manufactured products. If there were a more efficient way to produce food, the corporate farmers would have already adopted it.

Think as you grow up and learn how the world works, you will find when people are paying the energy bill vs paying themselves they do typically make their efforts as efficient as they can. You will also figure out the marketing, logistics and local packaging has more to do with end user cost than what is immediately visible.

It's the Microsoft Bob of email clients. MS should be paying people to use it.

I still miss the last version pre-ribbon, where rules were easy to create, keys could be reassigned and the mail editor was MS Word.

Tough call. Are they narcissists with a money laundering need, or money launderers with narcissistic tendencies?

My money is on both.

The headline can be exactly correct. Doesn't mean our we've-always-done-it-that-way process of measurement isn't still exactly fucked.

Finance industry makes up terms and concepts all the damn time as they invent new "markets" out of fucking thin air. Sometimes those are concepts that should never exist in Capitalism. Such as the concept of betting against success. Ain't fucking hard to corruptly manufacture failure in business to feed the "industry" of hedge funds. 80% of them fail and shit the bed organically.

Stop pretending it's morals and ethics that created a house of cards stock market. Again. If that industry knew what it was doing, it wouldn't have to be bailed out every decade or two.

Because (optional) Daddy and Mommy were quite busy with online gambling?

You act like it ain’t junkies raising junkies these days.

Doesn’t matter. A Recession too far denied is the reason for the free-fall. Even Mommy and Daddy’s poker bankroll is drying up, so junior ain’t getting those residuals for gameware.

While I agree with your other content, I wanted to reinforce there is a good way of going about this.

(Man to Woman): ”Hey, I’d like to show you a process we do here. You up for it? Hey and just so you know, I’m always welcome to feedback, so let me know if you have any questions or suggestions.”

If that were Woman to Woman, she would call that person a teacher. A man deserves no less respect, as long as he understands the concept of being humble. Every good teacher, knows they are a perpetual student.

I do feel bad for the genuinely good women out there being buried under a massive wave of assumptions based on far too much immaturity and unaccountability. But until society starts demanding real accountability for nonsensical behavior that too often comes with little or no afterthought, it will continue. I feel that starts with good women calling out other women on shit behavior.

Worst part about the behavior is finding it practically championed by “modern” feminism. When divorce becomes an Insta-moment planned years ahead due to feminist support for all the soon-to-be-single ladies no matter what, it’s no surprise men have checked out of marriage. Women will be dragging Accountability and Equality into the divorce court themselves with new DNA laws in hand before they convince MGTOW to consider them again.

It used to be more the young men who struggle with immaturity. That’s no longer the case because even young men know they will be held accountable. By everyone. I feel girls being raised by people who are not held accountable and therefore teach that confi-dare-aggance, has fueled a large part of this.

Young boys need a kind man and father figure as much as young girls do. One who knows damn well masculinity isn’t “toxic”. It’s necessary.

I wonder what the world record is for fastest human to have a double lung transplant as a result of cigarette smoking?

Oddly enough, I’ll bet the vape record beats the shit out of it.

(In case we were still wondering how the multi-trillion dollar Big Vape lawsuit will be going by 2040 buried under a blanket of litigious denial.)

Why would I need that with my towel for a quick handyooOOH.

Nevermind. I’ll be down here in the gutter with my mind.

Just remember kids. It’s still weed that crushes millions to death with its massive gateway.

Pay no attention to the death toll of all that other highly profitable shit. Stock price is more important than harm.

I heard Linus was Colonel Sanders for Halloween often as a child. Coincidence?

Nothing ever is when it gets hacked. And everything you just said made that powerful experimental environment even worse.

Dare you to tell me who actually scrutinized this stunt. Considering the security implications they just declassified to an entire fucking planet. What, you think that organization who owns it is going to develop NSA-grade investigative power to heavily scrutinize every new consultant and hire over the next few years to ensure they don’t hire a spy with legal access to control a defunct piece of flying trash now known to an entire fucking planet to be armed with THAT capability? Open for third party games and other coding fuckery? Even the NSA can’t prevent the NSA from getting hacked by shadowy brokers.

Kessler isn’t some name I pulled from my ass. Time for you to comprehend reality. Here’s a reminder of why satellites should not ever be publically advertised to be in the experimental zone:

Meh, what’s 500ms one way between friends.

(Talk about incorporating a handicap in gaming. Satellite Pros vs. Fiber Joes sounds like a match I’d wait around for.)

Uh, hate to point out the obvious, but he did nothing but prove the point as to why we purposely keep satellite computers K.I.S.S. simple; one hackers video game port is another hackers infection point.

Wonder what kind of “experimental” malware (twisted irony will call it “Kessler”) will try and target this target-rich environment after pulling that stunt and then advertising to the world. Think that thing is hacker-proof now? Think an hacking planet assumes that anymore?

+30 points for House Nerdcore, minus 1,000 points for not thinking this shit through.

This. First rule of retro media haters fight club should have been shut the fuck up about it.
