Green strips cost money and don’t directly generate profit.

Therefore either control and tax it, or destroy it so something “of value” can be placed there.

If that sounds stupid and self destructive… That’s because it is.

Natural wildfires have been artificially intensified both by climate change, and humanity’s obsession with not letting nature do its thing.

Wildfires are natural, they happened all the time without human intervention. Not like a constant thing, but often enough.

Humans moved in and decided if they see smoke on the horizon, it must be stopped. This kills the natural cycle that clears brush from the forest floor, and allows new life to bloom.

With forest floor scrub is basically at an all time high due to no small periodic fires, when it DOES burn, it really fucking blazes and creates insane conditions that basically wouldn’t exist otherwise.

So yes, it DOES apply to natural wildfires, the wildfires wouldn’t be so bad if humans didn’t make them worse through mismanagement. Thus the contamination hazards would be less intense.

Both those numbers seem too low. The right one doubly so.

I mean… They would have been right 5 years ago. But then they caught up and are showing some other manufacturers up.

Similarly here, Chinese manufacturers are making progress, and as usual they’re catching up quite well. In a few years I fully expect to see actual competition, and competition benefits everyone.

All it does is make me think “wow, Samsung is really cheaping out with the logic staff, strike harder!”

Personally I’m a big fan of Antarctica.

Never seen their people or government do stupid shit.

Every time I see"court orders striking workers to go back to work" I always wonder yo myself why they think that will work.

Of course, I’m even MORE baffled when it works.

You guys had them so terrified that they got courts involved, and you think THEY Hold the power?

Protip: if you hold out long enough, fines will be dropped. If you hold out long enough, their resort is to put you in jail, in which you still won’t be working (for that company, anyway)

Also there’s a super secret move where you and your coworkers drag your employer out of their home in the middle of the night.

Lmao sure it was “the libs” and definitely not the government that actually did things.

Hilarious, when I point out whataboutisms in the other direction, I always get a ton of MLs piling on saying I’m just trying to deflect criticism.

Interesting.

I hope someone can do this to microslop, then it’ll get fixed in 20 minutes. (and break 6 other things in the process)

Had the DOJ just purchased it from the start, we would never even be hearing about it.

Again.

I was planning on buying my wife a laptop so we can play games together. Not anymore.

I was also hoping to upgrade my RAM this year, but that’s definitely not happening now.

Honestly I probably just won’t be upgrading for another 5-7years.

Crazy how greed will drive off all business even after the price spike has come down.

RTGs do get put out in space, however they aren’t used for everything. If a single rocket experiences Spontaneous Unplanned Disassembly while carrying an RTG, it’s a disaster that spreads radioactive materials.

The entire point of an RTG is to use the waste heat as power, and if I understand RTG design, the cooling fins are to provide the difference in temperature that thermoelectric modules need to produce power. So there isn’t a ton of heat that it gives off in general.

Look at the international space station. It has massive radiator panels, and all it needs to do is house humans and the equipment to keep them alive. A lot of bulkiness of space suits is dedicated to heat management.

The #1 product of data centers is massive amounts of equipment-killing heat. That heat either gets radiated via massive radiator panels, or the space data center cooks it’s own equipment.

Mods who don’t have the ability to refute something another person says sure do love removing comments like it’s not super easy to check the removed content…

And like it somehow makes their reply with the moderator icon not look pathetic. … Yeah that snappy response to a comment you already removed sure makes you look tough and special.
