Edit: scratch that, the time to stop taking any CEO at their word was 100 years ago.

I don’t think Midgley really did anything to increase the amount of carbon in the atmosphere — just the amount of lead and CFCs.
This community desperately needs some better moderation…
Environmental historian J. R. McNeill opined that Midgley “had more adverse impact on the atmosphere than any other single organism in Earth’s history”
Ouch.

NSA has entered the chat
I hate to break it to you, but our meat brains don’t even have continuity of consciousness. We become unconscious all the time. The only real constant is the “hardware” our consciousness emerges from, but even that is always changing.
I’ve been getting a lot of ads for Ground News lately in other media that I consume, to the point where it makes me think most of their revenue is going right back into marketing.
I would not be surprised at all if they’ve tossed some money at the mods here for the purpose of boosting their signal even further.
Which, when presented without a shed of evidence, is equally dangerous (as these last few weeks have very clearly demonstrated).
This comment has big “Haitians are eating cats” energy.
I don’t have any proof, but just think about it, man!
Really? Back in the day even Charon took his cut.
There’s a state park in Kentucky called “Big Bone Lick”
I feel like this could create some pretty toxic incentives.
Like, imagine if the moment a person dies all of their works immediately go into the public domain… What’s to stop a company like Disney from just straight-up assassinating people who create promising IPs? They paid 4 billion dollars for Star Wars — but why not just have George Lucas murdered for a fraction of the price?
It will certainly be gratuitous…
That’s for courts to

In scientific terms? An absolute fuck-ton of football fields.
In very next line, it says the distance is 4.37 lightyears away… which is also wrong, lol
For anyone wondering, the actual correct answer is about 4.25 lightyears or about 40 trillion kilometers.
now all US rockets are free from Russian parts
Technically this isn’t true. The US military no longer has any unfulfilled launch contracts that will use Russian engines, but the ULA still has some RD-180s that they will almost certainly use for future commercial launches. Today simply marks the end of the RD-180 as a means of launching military payloads.
While massive energy usage means a substantial environmental impact for these tech giants, it should be noted that Google and Microsoft also generate more money than many countries. Furthermore, companies like Intel, Google, and Microsoft lead renewable energy adoption within the industry.
So fucking what? That’s like excusing a mass-murderer because he’s rich and he promised to “not kill quite as many people in the future.”
What a useless and pandering thing to say.
Hear hear!
