But this thread is about traveling backwards in time, which is impossible.

Are you sure?

If I can unmix a liquid then why not time?




Time is not a liquid, to begin with.

Are you sure?

The last communication I got from Black Arrow LTD was in July stating that shipping had started, my miner would contain capacitors that "cannot not explode" and there would be no additional compensation.

I never got a miner and they still have my money!

My understanding is that the refined flours and sugars are processed by the liver as a poison and thus produce the harmful fats required by many diaereses.

Showing a picture of what might as well be a still-frame from a sci-fi movie and asking readers to "believe"?

I just tried to connect and no dice, seems the issue may not be on the miners end. I use a block eruptor as a default load for my charging PSU.  Cool

Guess I'll load Bitcoin-core until things get ironed out, no sense in having 333Mh/s online and not pointing it at the network.  Tongue

No Spendulus, I was referring to much nastier stuff. Real pollution from that runaway coal consumption. Like i said; this global warming hullabaloo is a useful diversion from that very real catastrophe in the making.

Talking about like smog in china making people sick? That is a real problem. However I suspect it is one that would go away after about a week if people stopped using coal. I also suspect that coal as an energy source will at some point naturally be replaced by nuclear energy (though not in its current form). I also suspect this is more of a problem with the location of the coal plants than anything else. And finally, the people in these smog ridden cities are probably better off with smog and cheap energy than without smog and without cheap energy.

Well, their coal consumption has been increasing by 10%/year and certainly is showing no signs of stopping, quite the contrary. They have plenty of coal and are busy importing coal. As for the smog I guess that moves around in the atmosphere and isn´t only China´s business. At least this global warming thing is supposed to be a global issue. Strange how real pollution isn´t. But of course it isn´t politically and financially correct and convenient.

The thing you have to consider is that nuclear energy is a million times more energetic than chemical energy. The only reason it isnt profitable now is because we (the species) haven't figured out how to capture it very efficiently. But that will change and there is simply no way that chemical energy can compete in the long term against an fuel source that is a million times as energetic. So yea the trend is up, but it will reverse at some point, you can bet the farm on it.

You're making the assumption that there's competition involved here.

I don't see how i am. I'm making the assumption that the scientists I've listened to were generally right about how much more energetic neuclear energy is. And im making assumptions that society will generally tend to move from less energy dense sources of fuel to more energy dense sources of fuel over the long term. That would even be in the interest of a monopolist.



The "monopolist" likes his dirty energy and the effects it has on his subjects. You're fooling yourself if you believe that he will allow any kind of clean cheap energy.

After all flights were grounded the temperature in the US increased by 2° in the 3 days following 9/11.

After I turned off the air conditioning last night the temperature outside dropped over 7 degrees in the following 3 hours.

What's your point!?

My point is that people are denying man-made climate change. I offer proof that they're wrong.

What's your problem?

My problem is that I don't see how your single line about two events (airplanes grounded and temperature increase) proofs man made climate change. So maybe you could / should elaborate if you're actually trying to convince anyone.

Globalwarming is clearly bullshit however, that doesn't stop "them" from spraying a layer of aluminum among other things to reflect incoming sunlight and perform other functions.
Who is them? Where are they spraying aluminium (I need it to produce hats!)? Sources?

"they" are the 1%.

As for elaborating on geoengineering, the current method of spraying aerosols from aircraft was conceived by Edward Teller to simulate the effects of nuclear winter.

Attempts at legitimizing the "ponzi" and associating it with BTC via gambling is part of the "silent war" on Bitcoin IMO. This is a "slippery slope" tactic like how "they" push doctor assisted suicide to get their foot in the door to start culling the undesirables in society.
