SimbaOnSteroids··on Following 35% growth, solar has passed hydro on US grid
That may not be a problem for a while as we're going to have to do desalination and CCS at a scale that's quite incomprehensible at the moment.
SimbaOnSteroids··on ABC yanks Jimmy Kimmel’s show ‘indefinitely’ after threat from FCC chair
It's not unclear.

Oma has had the 1000 yard stare for the last 10 years.

None of this is unclear.

SimbaOnSteroids··on FBI arrests judge accused of helping man evade immigration authorities
No my argument is stop using the word criminal because it makes the yokels think you're talking about some sicario or some jobless person living on the government doll.

You can tell this because when you poll americans what they think about deporting undocumented immigrants that belong to specific subgroups, their overwhelmingly against it. The kicker is that the subgroups listed cover nearly all undocumented immigrants.

> The survey also asked about whether other groups of immigrants in the country illegally should be deported. Relatively few Americans support deporting these immigrants if they have a job (15%), are parents of children born in the U.S. (14%), came to the U.S. as children (9%) or are married to a U.S. citizen (5%).

SimbaOnSteroids··on FBI arrests judge accused of helping man evade immigration authorities
ah my mistake, regardless calling people here illegally criminals is disingenuous given the potential offense committed.
SimbaOnSteroids··on FBI arrests judge accused of helping man evade immigration authorities
Calling it a crime vastly overstates what the offense is. Entering in the country illegally is a misdemeanor, when you call them criminals you rhetorically frame it as a serious offense like a felony. Its disingenuous.
SimbaOnSteroids··on TSMC expected to announce $100B investment in U.S.
In a war game you steel man your opponents capabilities. I highly doubt China's entirely green military does that much damage.
SimbaOnSteroids··on The Onion buys Infowars
I hope for the opposite, Jones has so much video and audio content available cloning him digitally and shoving an AI generated fist, ahem, somewhere, and using his likeness as the satire would be cathartic. Better yet he himself argued in court that the person live on Info Wars is a character inseparable from the brand.
SimbaOnSteroids··on Brain overgrowth dictates autism severity, new research suggests
Yeah, give me the choice. If I could trade some intelligence for a bit of executive function/picking up social queues I wouldn't even hesitate.
SimbaOnSteroids··on Israel reportedly used fake social accounts to garner support from US lawmakers
The wild part about this, at least to me, is the wholesale incompetence demonstrated by Israel in this regard. If I couldn't google the talking points the bots make and see Israeli officials saying the same things, one would think these bots were Iranians acting with the intent to make Israel look bad.
SimbaOnSteroids··on Saudi Aramco CEO says world should abandon 'fantasy' of phasing out oil
Breaking: Fent dealer says sobriety unrealistic.
SimbaOnSteroids··on Neurosurgeon pioneers Alzheimer's, addiction treatments using ultrasound [video]

SimbaOnSteroids··on Dune: Part Two Is the Best Sci-Fi Film of the Decade
Then it was extremely true to the books.
SimbaOnSteroids··on The Pentagon’s UFO Shop, the Hitchhiker Effect, and Models of Contagion [pdf]
Hard agree, the UFO community is full of some of the dumbest most self confident people you can find on earth, myself potentially included.
SimbaOnSteroids··on The Pentagon’s UFO Shop, the Hitchhiker Effect, and Models of Contagion [pdf]
One of those things should exist given everything we know about the universe, and its kinda weird that it doesn't seem to.
SimbaOnSteroids··on The Pentagon’s UFO Shop, the Hitchhiker Effect, and Models of Contagion [pdf]
Yes, and OP said they represented a mass hallucination. Which they're clearly not entirely.

I find it odd that every time this subject comes up people just bend over backwards to behave in the most smug ways possible.

SimbaOnSteroids··on The Pentagon’s UFO Shop, the Hitchhiker Effect, and Models of Contagion [pdf]
My favorite type of mass hallucination is the type that gets painted by radar.
SimbaOnSteroids··on A room-temperature superconductor? New developments
Not only is it a purported to be a room temperature super conductor, it's a relatively high temperature superconductor, not guarantee the effect goes away if you put it under a torch.
SimbaOnSteroids··on ‘World of Warcraft’ players trick AI-scraping website into publishing nonsense
Unrelated, but YouTube is less vague when it comes to walk-throughs
SimbaOnSteroids··on OpenAI’s CEO says the age of giant AI models is already over
Premium won't save you from Raid Shadow Legends. I don't know how but they'll put ads in your dreams if you're not careful.
SimbaOnSteroids··on UN says “No credible pathway” and “woefully inadequate” to stop global 1.5C
Didn’t carbon we’ve carelessly dumped in the atmosphere start as ocean life that sunk to the bottom, can’t we turbo charge that cycle?
SimbaOnSteroids··on UN says “No credible pathway” and “woefully inadequate” to stop global 1.5C
Why do we talk about removing CO2 from the atmosphere but not trying to pull it out of the ocean?
SimbaOnSteroids··on Exxon’s Exodus
I was under the impression that if you wanted to hire employees for ethically dubious industries you better be willing to pay them enough that they can ignore their conscious.
SimbaOnSteroids··on Nuclear Close Calls: Able Archer 83 (2018)
In this case, hasn't NATO all but said their response to a nuclear escalation would be an overwhelming conventional strike.
SimbaOnSteroids··on Hydrogen’s moment is here at last?
I've heard you can get it so dense it starts to produce energy.
SimbaOnSteroids··on More evidence that Neanderthals were ‘absorbed’ by humans, not wiped out
Riddle me this, you have 2 populations containing 2 sub-populations each. Lets call them populations Aa and Bb. 'a' can mate with 'b' and produce c. c can produce viable offspring with A or B but A and B can not produce viable offspring. What do we call Aa and Bb if not distinct species? What do we call c? What if some members A can produce viable offspring with B some of the time but not always? What then? My point is we make taxonomical distinctions for our convenience, they don't really have any hold on the natural world.
SimbaOnSteroids··on Police playing music while being filmed, seemingly to trigger copyright filters
Mind saying which city in specific? Googling only brings up Camden NJ as an example and from what I can tell things got really bad for a while then they rebuilt the police department. Which is, from what I understand, is what calls to disband the police really want.

These are not mutually exclusive.
SimbaOnSteroids··on Covid-19 is causing a wide range of disorders in the nervous system
A small percentage change in the output of knowledge workers would have an outsized effect on the overall economy. This kind of data is as dramatic as the title suggests. We can’t afford to poke this bear.

I thought it was the memes, seriously quotable movies though.
