For those who grew up in the Pacific Northwest: Seagulls. 30 years ago if you went to the coast you would have hundreds of seagulls on every beach. If you go there today you are lucky to see more than 5 in an entire day.

I'm pretty near your situation (8 and 6yr olds), and do some things similar to you. Tip: if you want to remove ads/filter internet, it's easy to do on android: install a VPN firewall app and block everything. no more ads.

I think what @decentralised is arguing isn't that PoW is wasteful, but that there are certain by-design inefficiencies that outsiders consider a waste from an economics standpoint. (A high economic cost to perform PoW) Certainly you

FYI the Nimitz FLIR1 video was taken at a distance of around 30 miles. pretty good video for that distance. Also this is the only declassified video, I would assume better video exist but this will help ease us into acceptance.
