We're at the point that maybe paper books in libraries for research could potentially make a comeback. Trying to find info - or even shopping - on the internet is incredibly difficult now. If it pushes people into the real world, though, that would be a victory.

Now the question I have is this: Is it because of these infrasounds or is it because old buildings sound different from new ones? In other words, is it simply because one's expectations based on where they normally are, are different? Having spent a significant portion of my life in old buildings they don't seem haunted to me at all - but I do find that forced air heating and cooling systems are always startling to me when they start up. But that's likely because I'm MORE USED TO hot water heat radiators and hearing that furnace. Interesting thoughts, anyway.

Well since their goal is destruction of 99.99% of humanity, of course they would do this.

Was anything done for telephone operators? Factory workers? Heck, elevator operators? There is ZERO chance of anything being done about the 50% structural unemployment we'll be facing in the next 3-10 years. Zero. SMH.

Given that lefties would be whining and screaming if we tried to build more chip fabs (oh my god they pollute! They need electricity!) you need to examine yourselves, first.

That what I was going to say. As I understand from friends in the UK, they have the most expensive power in the world. (I believe them, but if they're wrong, I'm sure it's way up there). If there's not rate changes when power is so cheap, nobody is going to use more. "Switch on the cooker and the air conditioner" "We don't have an air conditioner" "Switch on the cooker and open the refrigerator"

The difference is producing food that can be nourishing to humans is different from AI data centers, most of whom will be producing AI slop.

Destroying the USSR was worth everything of Regans. The fact that US foreign policy has been completely mismanaged since then is utterly unfortunate. Second, our entire nation was on the verge of collapse in 1980 due to high inflation, poor productivity and a number of other things. Third, I absolutely agree that AI will have a positive economic impact for people whose financial well being is not threatened by it. Despite the whining that it won't, this is going to create >50% unemployment and a permanent underclass of extreme poverty. A second order effect is - or seems to me that it is - that this is the end of human progress. Without people actually working to figure stuff out, which they won't because "We'll have AI do it" which, of course, it does by scraping to find what else was done to do something similar, there will be no new ideas or inventions or anything. Folks on linkedin actually believes that there were be UBI from this - no, the only thing that you'll be given to deal with your issues is CN.

I wondered about that myself. Nobody, nobody, minds legal immigrants. In fact, they're typically incredible people. But, bigots always have to try and convince others they aren't bigots by calling everyone else bigots.

Yeah this has only been talked about for more than twenty years as to how bad it is. "But how would we know?" Sheesh.

This has also become true with almost every "Outlet store" brand. Coach outlet? London Fog outlet? Burberry Outlet? All knockoff merchandise.

Yeah ... proof of guilt is kind of unimportant to these folks, alas.

This makes sense to me. I have little interest in "True crime" but know folks who do - and they're ... a bit off.

Indeed, they were - because of multiple la nina years, as I understand it. And it was hot and dry, just like now.

Well, unfortunately, he is right. The capital city of my state is going nuts with having these things built saying they'll 'provide jobs.' Not for folks here, after the construction is done.
