-6 karma · joined March 5, 2023

I love my negative karma. I say nothing offensive and instead it is, i feel, quite poignant. It is a badge that shows the true junky character of some who like to monger. I will come back here with a different account and be the same polite person with a different point of view. Because you don't own the internet and i can play your stupid child game too if i care to.

Forestessential··on Pursuing status will never bring true happiness
in terms of employment status is a logical and ethical consideration. Tenure is status.

But status is not reported acuratly but whichever metric it is of consideration of.

and the status we think is appraised high might be a status that has actually a low apprasial.. Like being a porn star or a hollywood actor unlike Robin Williams. Or being a philisophical considerer- it might not be seen as of a high status but yet this underpins how we meet our death very much.

downvote for all the reasons

Forestessential··on For the first time, renewable energy generation beat out coal in the US
but you got these not included: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_natural_gas_power_stat...

and for how it compares to coal, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_coal-fired_power_stati...

you have like 60-65% coal fired in the States.

40% of the corn produced in US is used for ethanol which is a energy intensive process which uses fossil fuels.

Forestessential··on In supermarkets across Europe, inflation is leading to a surge in food theft
the headline should read, "Bad behavior is excused for the poor".

pantries and welfare exists. stealing is not necessary. most of these sort of people cant cook well and resort to packaged bs

Forestessential··on Big tech and the pursuit of AI dominance
It is like reading the news or a study paper but you know it is correct because a robot is telling you. This is the closest thing to a prophet people will have. Go downvote me.
Forestessential··on The risks of cleaning with bleach and other disinfectants
author gives worse-than-real arguments for bleach causing COPD while grouping it with actual disinfectants that leave nasty residue which grows resistant bacteria.

Forestessential··on CDC warns of “alarming” rise of potentially deadly fungal threat in hospitals
just treat the wings with Ozone. Hospitals could easily be designed in the future (with how they already are built in consideration of airpressures/drafts/air entrainment) to hold, move and purge Ozone in wings that can be shut down and actually properly cleaned with Ozone.

Ozone will destroy life it contacts and also leaves a spotless palate for the nose. this is a hospital problem. Im reading about issues in hospitals. In the outside world it is not a sterile dish like there, this allegedly deadly mold would be less apt to kill

Forestessential··on Toxic pet flea and tick treatments are polluting UK freshwaters, says paper
no the way to do it is with hollow fiber technology and other zeolite filters all which will need backflushing with detergents/bleach. Then you can run it into a R.O. array but the pressure needed is high so the system needs to overcome that.

Evaporative technologies are the other method to accomplish the same thing and if incorporated into a facility/structure that can use evaporative cooling because the draft of air over the water will need to be powered.

Underground sewer systems can be designed to hold more life, pass more water over more life, just like premise behind slow sand filtration and this will effectively treat the water as it flows. This is a first line treatment IMO. using sewer water to cool industrial facilities where the steam can be sequestered should be utilized too. Facilities that incinerate trash at high temperature with palladium catalysts can use sewer water to produce power.

how about builders find a way to build a impermeable membrane downward around the plot line of a property slowing ground water movement, then use septic systems with water treatment facility apparatuses in the home. I could burn my own trash, biodigest my own sewage and spectrogrpahicaly test it too for cheap.

Why on earth are people not doing this?!

Forestessential··on Ask HN: What are some good sites for non tech people to keep up with tech?
Not really. You are getting coverage on projects that are already public or are being promoted or it is a persuasive piece. The best news to ingest is that speaking of markets, trading, acquisitions, etc.
Forestessential··on Ask HN: What are some good sites for non tech people to keep up with tech?
that one video they made of that kid making the PC was hilarious.. The kid just botched it in every way.
Forestessential··on Ask HN: What are some good sites for non tech people to keep up with tech?
take the right supplements, avoid stress. Learning to flow through stress in life and not have to muscle through absorption is important. Diet really does matter. Caffine shrinks your brain too btw. I think all coffee drinkers and especially energy drinkers eventually need to put that crap down so they can think straight 100%%
Forestessential··on Ask HN: What are some good sites for non tech people to keep up with tech?
This is really funny. Actually with the right diet and maintenance a person can be cognitively adept at ages over 70. And how you talk about a 5 year old haveing this inate ability to cognate at some high degree is simply false. Moraly they arent screwed up yet if that's what your people are talking about.
Forestessential··on Six Recent Studies Show an Unexpected Increase in Classical Music Listening
new music hasn't culturally developed but also the values we hold, the ideas we care to express, are not being conveyed in music like once was.

oldies spoke of many issues, spoke on having lastinglove whereas now its far more about flings. Eventually people either will resort to changing their life to compat with the crappy music or turn the lyrics off.

Forestessential··on macOS Cursors
you ppl should try importing cursors from linux.
Forestessential··on Cyclists now outnumber motorists in City of London
If you are going to get into cycling i recommend finding a geometry that works good for you, like something general from a major brand, and then have a titainium frame builder in china make a frame with those dimentions. For 1250 you can have a frameset that lasts forever, doesn't rust, cleans well. Rim brakes are the way to go as they are lighter and cheaper to maintain. Disc brakes weigh more and only offer performace improvements in the wet and other more intense situations. There is a push to move people to disc for product design uniformity so the industry as a whole can keep costs down... you know.. hedge funds n stuff.
Forestessential··on More students are turning away from college and toward apprenticeships
most colleges are turning away from making shining stars and instead seeking to get the mass in and out, to their respective homes. Scaled grading is so the school can reliably pass students. The credential is literally worth less.
Forestessential··on This week in KDE: “More Wayland fixes”
When your machine metrics are recorded it is much like a fingerprint. Who is tracking you can sell to you better, which by definition means you get a worse deal. Also you are better surveyed for how you can be used. You think KDE doesn't have people who do this?

IT-sort of people on the internet: "Security is very important. We dont want to get hacked"

Also IT-sort of poeple on the internet: "Why are you paranoid of a tech company is collecting your data? You really think they are gonna hack you?"

Also others in the field: We need Intrusion Prevention Software, IDS, pfSence firewall, etc... So we can be safe from hackers while our machines host extra automated services we dont need, among reasons.

Forestessential··on This week in KDE: “More Wayland fixes”
KDE used to be so bloated and monolithic and really what i think changed is faster machines and a much more minimalistic/cleaner design.

Thanks for mentioning this.

XFCE is what ill stick with

Forestessential··on One AI Tutor Per Child: Personalized learning is finally here
AI programs, made by people, teaching history and philosophy i think is what that rich guy elon musk was talking about.

Yet, if the AI program can be copyleft then the matter is a non-issue.

I find this to be the heart of the contention.
