Heating in the winter prevents people from freezing to death. Agriculture feeds the world. Travel, fair argument. The power demand for a website is a drop in the ocean compared to the power consumption from a rack of GPUs or dedicated minin

You can say it as many times as you'd like, but the fact remains that Bitcoin takes an inordinate amount of energy out of the grid that needs to be replaced. Homes, business, etc need to be powered. If miners start buying out old gener

Not saying they should/shouldn't; just that coming at it from this angel is only going to cause more problems. I'm personally not a fan of Gab, and their claims on freedom of speech have, in my opinion, been way over blown. P

"posting facts that were inconvenient to the mainstream Covid narrative"; debatable. Whole article is rife with hyperbole and strong, strong opinions stated as fact. Censorship is bad, but pretending to be an expert doesn't m

Appreciate it! Sounds like you've made some massive progress yourself. I've got a family history of shitty hearts. My father basically did everything right (vegan, cardiovascular numbers like an Olympic athlete) and still suffered

All good! I've got diet induced hypertension that I've slowly widled down to almost respectable numbers (125/73) though diet but the last few pips are hard. Always looking for something to help

No offense, but this sounds like a bad advert for quackery. Any research or studies you've looked at to back up the claims?

So he basically just suggested that employers should encourage employee to come back to the office? Given the audience, and what the city stand to lose, his comments seem appropriate to me. It's not like he's mandating offices for

I may just be exceptionally stupid, but is this a gag article? I mean that in all seriousness. Graph of daily vs weekly deaths look completely differently, numbers are present in absence of any context (how are vaccine rates measured? Does

I suppose; but I also think the officer shouldn't have been doxxed so I'm not really sure what you're getting at.

This is the person that tried to jump through that window and enter an even more heavily fortified/restricted area yah? I just don't see how this situation is comparable to other cases.

Isn't their an unlimited supply of coins? I'm strongly anti Bitcoin but at least that has an artificial scarcity mechanism built in. But hey, do what you want with your money I guess.

That was the going assumption as far as I understood (I'm from the area). They're hasn't been direct health advise on areas to avoid either, so it's slightly disconcerting.

I know of not a single person who's bought a small shed and/or building to house all the equipment required to run a video game, then additionally leave the hardware running a full blast 24/7 This feel like false equivalence.
