  • Findings cast doubt on the existence of Jesus Christ

  • FWIW, the article is describing the standard "mythicist" position. A well-known argument that has been described many times before. There is nothing new being presented here, and all sources cited appear to be over a decade old. If you are familiar with this debate, you probably do not even need to read the article to know who the sources are. They are very familiar names to anyone that have read past articles on this subject.

  • It's no longer a good place for news, discussion, or even real opinions. It's just an echo chamber of hate and closed-mindedness, and increasingly just bots talking to each other.

  • PS5 Pro developer verdict: ‘I didn’t meet a single person that understood the point of it’

  • Graphics are no longer a major selling point in most cases. Most people would be fine with a good game that works and isn't saddle with microtransactions, even if it means it will look somewhat worse.

  • PS5 Pro developer verdict: ‘I didn’t meet a single person that understood the point of it’

    Jump

  • This is the same conversation we had throughout the entire rumorwave about this project: Who is going to buy this and which developers will actually anything worthwhile with the new hardware? Because all signs points to an expensive console (at least $600) with the only upgrades being a slight graphical bump and higher resolution. There are no new gameplay features.

    I think people would be much more happy with a smaller, more power efficient version of the PS5 instead.

  • Best Buy is going to be the next Circuit City. The only question is when.

  • Why is US energy demand soaring – putting climate goals at risk?

    Jump

  • Because electrification has become a panacea to policy-makers. A magic cure-all solution to all emission problems. So we decided that we will let electricity demand run amok, with no coordinated plan to keep power usage in check. In reality, ideas like reducing power demand and limiting electricity usage will be necessary, even if it direct contradicts previous policies. Ultimately, this is another heavy industry, and making it green is going to be extremely hard. Doubly-so, if you are planning to absolutely explode power consumption.

    Sooner or later, something will give. Either we admit that we have to spend many trillions of dollars to upgrade the grid, or realize that electrification isn't the magic solution everyone thought it was. Heck, maybe even admit that some "green policies" were actually just corporate marketing from certain companies that benefit from electrification. You could even go as far as calling it greenwashing.

  • Kbin/Mbin is like a hybrid of Reddit and Twitter. You can have both a content aggregation and a microblog system at the same time.

  • Leaked SpaceX documents show company forbids employees to sell stock if it deems they've misbehaved

    Jump

  • It is a Ponzi scheme from a financial sense. In the end, it's just a launch provider. It's not suddenly going to become the next Apple in terms of market value. But it is valued like that, and they were able to raise billions of dollars by lying about its potential business ventures.

    Jump

  • All of those statements existed to either drum up investment money or get people to buy non-existent products. So those things are examples of securities fraud too.

  • The "midas touch" is basically just securities fraud. Something he can't get away with forever.

  • SpaceX, from a financial standpoint, is just an elaborate Ponzi scheme for Musk, who treats all of his companies as his private fiefdom and personal piggy bank. In reality, none of them are genuinely profitable, and depend on government subsidies and capital investments to survive. The goal is to just build a barely viable business and then scam people with bullshit promises. Any real cash flow is immediately converted into cash for his personal use. Though from time to time, he uses that cash prop up another of his ventures. Very likely, all of this will come crashing down at some point, and it will be revealed that his companies are nothing like what they seem.

    Oil industry has sought to block state backing for green tech since 1960s

  • You clearly don't yourself, since tanks are made of carbon fiber. Embrittlement is very alloy dependent too. Choose the right alloy and it is a non-issue.

    There are vast quantities of suitable underground caverns. It gives many orders of magnitude more storage capacity than any other idea, including pump hydro (which is significantly more geographically limited).

    It's sad that you claim knowledge, but you can't be bothered to google it. There are many studies out there like this one: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2589004223028481

  • Except I can totally see them committing securities fraud in order to pump up the numbers. It seems very much like something they would do.

  • Modern tanks leak very little. Large underground cavern stores even at very low cost. You are just out of date on your information.

    It doesn't matter what you think you are advocating for. Your rhetoric is basically just oil & gas propaganda. At best, you can accept that you were fooled by it.

  • Your rhetoric is decades out of date. We can easily store hydrogen in vast quantity at very low cost. If anything, you are spread an old oil & gas talking point. According to them, nothing except fossil fuels is storable.
