  • 0.0000000021g/kg

    or 0.0000000000021kg/kg, if you wanted the same units both sides..

    ( I'm presuming this was your last-line's request )

  • I think it is evil-worship, to execute someone for a crime when even the prosecution says they didn't do it.

    And I'm suggesting you consider it in that framing, just to test to see what the reframed-act implies, throughout the current system..

    I'm saying that knowing that human-sacrifice was core to Toltecs, Maya, & Aztecs, & a tribe in the Amazon is still doing it today..

    it seems to me that human-sacrifice for authority/power/glory would be the unconscious intent, at-least..

  • Immunize the mods against ideological-torque:

    all the mods who can afford to need to subscribe to https://Ground.News in order to SEE when the community is being moved off target by unconscious bias or by machiavellianism,

    and, seeing what's happening, they then have the leverage to counteract it, by posting news items that're being ignored, or underreported, see?

  • Merely threaten .. ball-less cowards.

    They will remain owned, then, possessed-carrion, instead of owning their own autonomy..

    The frog in the slowly-heating-pot is us.

  • Either you systemically enforce the evisceration, & prevention, of kleptarchy..

    XOR kleptarchy highacks your country, permanently.


    There isn't even a single photon of "middle ground" in that process.

  • IF you've a high-efficiency charger, then I'd say it's probably more-efficient to use that charger.

    The warmer you run your computer, the less-efficient it becomes, & the shorter the lifespan of the hottest chips in it ( this effect shouldn't be significant )

    e.g. increasing a CPU by 10Celsius should cut its lifespan in half.

    by having more heat-generating-stuff going on in your computer, you impair the cooling of your CPU & GPU ( slightly, probably ), & that may affect your computer's time-to-failure.

    Fan-bearings may dry-out sooner, too.

    hth, eh?

  • It ALSO depends on whether you're asking the top-10% income people, or whether you're asking the bottom-50% income people.

    Obviously!

  • Whether true or not, I don't know.

    I DO know, however, that humans are not institution-puppets without any internal-motivations.

    IF they did do so, THEN that doesn't mean Al Jazeera was in any way complicit.


    Apparently there's some problem at The Washington Post, now, with the guy in charge of the news-room having participated in a crime, & now is ejecting people who have journalistic-standards..

    Does that mean they all are guilty of what he did?

    How could it?

    We're in an age where considered-reasoning is being displaced by dogwhistle ideology/prejudice, & it's required for humankind's survival, that we get competent in journalism's methodical & careful discernment.

    All of us.

    Our kind's life IS at stake, this century.

  • We're already IN the 6th great extinction: humans ARE exterminating the marine & terrestrial ecologies.

  • Ah, but the difference..

    Yehoshua "Jesus" ( Iosa, actually, according to a Roman friend I had ) benJoseph was:

    • falsely-convicted
    • by legalists
    • whom benJoseph had consistently shown to be hypocrites, &
    • they were using legalism to convict him, to get even with him.

    Trump, however, admitted in court that "Mother Theresa couldn't beat these charges" or something like that:

    Trump was convicted:

    • fair & square
    • honestly,
    • of actual-crimes
    • he himself committed.

    "Just like Jesus" my arse.

  • Never mistake ideology/prejudice, aka Kahneman1 mind ( my term for it, from the ocean of understanding in Daniel Kahneman's "Thinking Fast And Slow", the most important book in the whole world, for understanding what's going on, right now ).

    Ideology/prejudice, is THE ascendant-force among our world, & the greater the ClimatePunctuation's acceleration ( its speed won't peak for a few more decades, before slowing-down again, obviously ) continues, stress will drive ideology/prejudice's supremacism, through all factions, globally.

  • That HELPS Netanyahu.

    WHEN people with values/principles get out of the way of abusers in authority .. then the abusers have an easier time of tilting the playing-field.

    Same as all the Democrats who vacated institutional-positions, "in protest" of abuser apointees, who then had an easier time of wrecking the United States.

    You have to get in harm's way, & you have to remain in harm's way, if you want the resultant-world to be worth-living-in.


    The Great Filter, this century, will test humankind's ability to do that.

    If not, if "getting out of evil's way" is humankind's feelings' choice, then harm/evil's going to butcher humankind's viability, & laugh all the way to humankind's grave.

  • Use IBM's "wipe" command, not just rm -rf.

    Wipe overwrites the files ( you don't need to use the default many-times method: that's for spinning-platters ), but it makes undeleting stuff require serious work, instead of just some fs-surgery, if that's significant to/for you.

    wipe is available with many distros, iirc.

  • The amount of power you could pull from a single square metre of solar on the roof wouldn't increase your range meaningfully.

    What it would do, is that you could possibly keep your starter-battery from going dead-flat if you left your car alone for a 1/2 month, in the summer ( snow would cover it, obviously ), & since bringing a lead-acid battery to dead-flat permanently-damages it, this would prevent costly problems for the car-owners.

    ( this happened to a friend with a Prius: had to replace the battery, and the damned thing was inside the rear wheel-well??? in a little compartment.

    Origami-engineering's .. simultaneously incredible & stupidly-frustrating )

    I've held for years that they should be doing it to keep the starter-battery trickle-charging, but .. why make the customers have fewer costly/frustrating problems?

  • His tactical-plan is that he won't be accepting any of the consequences of his policies.

    You don't improve a country's economic-engine by eradicating education's foundation.

    But so long as he''s rich, & his privilege is protected, he can't care what damage is done to his inferiors..

    Kinda similar to the ones doing likewise north of there, eh?

  • I've lived in XFCe for years, awhile ago, now use LXQT.

    XFCe had this goddamn thing where windows had a 1-pixel thick window-grabber.

    There was no means of fixing it, that I could find.

    UbuntuStudio.org used XFCe, too, btw..

    Eventually I got sooo fed-up with the broken UX that I just committed to never using XFCe ever again.

    That was sometime in the last few years..

  • There isn't any someone I want to be hugging.

    It's a nonsensical concept.

    Closeness..?

    you require sufficiently-related identity/ego underlying you, for that.

    People who are too different, one cannot be close with, obviously

    ( extreme case is when prejudice is between people, but the underlying principle holds much more solidly than just-that-case )

    I'm not putting this here for any "pity": I'm putting this here so that if there's any other person who's in the destroy-unconscious-ignorance-no-matter-the-cost kind of life, that they can see what happens, when one keeps going.

    Eventually you reach a condition where collaboration with others still is entirely possible, but "belonging" has become gone.

    Keep going: they integrity one can earn, the conquering of one's own unconscious-mind, it is worth it.

    Some might relate it to being a time-traveler: one'll never fit-in, in the people one lives among, but it is itself, not any fiction thing.

    Cracking one's unconscious is sooo far outside what "acceptable people" do, that .. if you go far enough, then you .. are just too different.

    Divergeance is fine, though, so long as living is fine.

  • some brain damage: malnutrition tends to aggravate or cause brain damage.

    I'm a brain damage survivor: it sucks, it takes decades to undo ( neuroplasticity takes time to do rewiring ), and life is never going to be what it could have been.

    Don't damage people's brains.

    'tis a good rule, eh?
