Have I now become your enemy by telling you the truth?

Galatians 4:16

Galatians4_16··on Chickens in Trees
Food production and consumption using the methods by which living beings have consumed each other for the last 3.8 billion years, is emissions neutral, on average.

The argument for CO2 reduction has always been that all the extra carbon released from coal, gas, and petroleum, is bad, as a net increase of emissions, beyond natural processes.

Galatians4_16··on Possible association between tattoos and lymphoma
Nice selective interpretation.

Notice how I didn't say "FDA bad", but just asked a question, which was effectively answered.

This sort of infered bickering is not conducive to civil discussion.

Galatians4_16··on Possible association between tattoos and lymphoma
Isn't the FDA the same agency that authorized the use of Thalidomide for pregnant women, and then much later deauthorized it due to birth defects?
Galatians4_16··on Chickens in Trees
Plants do eat bacteria waste (see aquaponics), rabbits can eat some kitchen plant waste, but should of course not solely be fed that, (same with chickens), rabbit poop can be fed to fish and chickens (rabbits themselves eat it like 3x because poor digestive tract)… There are obviously a few steps I left unmentioned, as I am keeping my comments simplistic for the format.

You seem to have selective comprehension issues.

Recycling is more than just throwing trash into different coloured bins and burning oil to process it; Specifically, recycling in my comment refers to the process of water and air turning into food, and back into water and air, as has been customary for terran life for a few years now.

It is quite simply a natural cycle using no oil for centuries, vs. an industrial cycle using millions of tons of oil per year.

Galatians4_16··on Chickens in Trees
Feed food waste to chickens, fish, rabbits, and worms. Feed poop to worms and bacteria, feed bacteria and worm waste to plants, which convert that dastardly CO2 to sweet wholesome Oxygen. I was always taught that recycling was good, while pumping oil out of the ground and creating new CO2 is bad, but I'm no expert.

And Halo…
Galatians4_16··on Chickens in Trees
Just think of how much the environment would benefit if we wouldn't need to run so many refrigerators to eat fresh food…

Oh give me a locus, where the gravitons focus, and the three-body problem is solved… [1]

Galatians4_16··on What the damaged Svalbard cable looked like
Trust, but verify.
Galatians4_16··on There Is Too Much Trash in Space
Some people may call this trash, I prefer to call them treasures!
Galatians4_16··on Spotify Car Thing will be discontinued
Yup, or alternately mandate a standard and incorporate the charging port into an open-source case, or some such.

*cracking

Stealing devices is still theft.

Galatians4_16··on Spotify Car Thing will be discontinued
EU legislation on power chords gave us micro-USB phones, when USB-C could have been a better option, but a real solution would be let consumers decide inputs/outputs.
Galatians4_16··on Scientists Find an 'Alphabet' in Whale Songs
Used to be they were just hunted to near extinction, for their oil. It has since been replaced with a more whale-friendly alternative.

Galatians4_16··on Horizontal running inside circular walls of Moon settlements
On the Moon, at normal pressure, humans shoud be able to get enough exercise in a jungle gym, or by donning a set of wings, flapping them to fly.

European soccer, or American soccer? (there are significant differences)
Galatians4_16··on Cheyenne Super Computer Auction
Built in a bunker under a mountain, so reduced airflow, plus need to hide heat signatures from outside surveillance?

Also, likely they had infrastructure available, from the nuclear power they use.

Galatians4_16··on Google made me ruin a perfectly good website (2023)
Obviously the solution is to create a centralized system to electronically ID every human on the planet, and track what they post, talk, think, which medications and food they consume, who they are friends with, who they fuck, how much of this decade's evil chemicals they exhale, where they spend their money, and their real-time location.

Or, you know, just make your own open-source search engine, with blackjack and hookers.

Galatians4_16··on What I remember about Flint water crisis was how state government lied
That's an oxymoron. You might temporarily have competent individuals in government, but the organization as a whole is not incentivized for competence.

Same goes for corporations, especially bigger ones.

Or how about drone-striking a 16-year-old American citizen, merely for being related to a suspected terrorist? [1]

Galatians4_16··on The evolution of stupidity (and octopus intelligence)
When it comes to the term "Conspiracy Theory", the stupidity is baked in, as a theory is something proven, not assumed.

Hypothesis > (test) > Theory

The conspiracy among three Physicists, now known as the Manhattan Project, with hundreds of thousands of unknowing participants, with whole new sectors of industries, and supply chains, brought us new medicine, nuclear power, and peace through mutually assured destruction, yet people seem to think of conspiracy as some harebrained concept spun up by halfwits.

Another alternative perspective:

Having a language that can not be machine translated, may be beneficial. [1]

Galatians4_16··on The AI Revolution Is Crushing Thousands of Languages
So band together, make a list, and use those languages? Seems solvable enough to me.
