RIP Gordon Lightfoot.
 One of the best.
 A Legendary Canadian Folk/Rock Musician

 He has many great songs but this one is my fave: If You Could Read My Mind


 He passed away May1st and I meant to post it then but I... shaky old man syndrome I guess.

 Their arguments are quite flimsy and could pertain to pretty much any human endeavour but I think they also have you in their sights:

"The environmental impacts of cryptomining exist even when miners use existing clean power. For example, in the case of communities with hydropower where cryptomining operations are often located, increased electricity consumption by cryptominers reduces the amount of clean power available for other uses, raising prices and increasing overall reliance on dirtier sources of electricity." <sup>1

 Apparently, by you putting up your own solar array and using it for your own purposes, you are still harming "low-income neighborhoods and communities of color" since it could have been used in a way that would offset the pollution caused by other forms of electrical generation, that would still be required to meet the demand of those poor bastards in New York who will be banned from using gas for their cook-stoves, such as natural gas turbines.  Oh the irony.

 Sorry for the bad news philipma1957 

 

Stupid bastards.

 "Biden Administration Pushes Congress to Pass 30% Tax on Bitcoin Mining

 Author: Andrew Throuvalas

The White House views the Bitcoin mining industry as environmentally harmful and limited in economic benefit.

The White House is attempting to persuade Congress to pass a 30% climate change tax on cryptocurrency miners as part of its next federal budget.

The change, titled the Digital Asset Mining Energy (DAME) excise tax, is designed to encourage mining firms to start taking better account of their so-called ‘societal harms’, including higher energy prices and greenhouse gas emissions...

...The tax would be phased in over 3 years, starting at 10% in the first year before rising to 20% and eventually 30% in the following two years. Over 10 years, it would generate an estimated $3.5 billion in revenue...
"

 They (the gov't) wont make a @#$ cent.  The margins are not good enough to support such a luxury tax so miners will go elsewhere.


 

 I don't think "easy" means what you think it means.

 That looks like a heavy duty overhead crane ~20t at least in a ~70's era heavy manufacturing plant?  You're there to update their lighting to newer, more efficient LEDs.

 It does seem like the posts that take a while are the ones that end up double.  I don't hit refresh though.

I seems like every time I post, the board double posts it!   wtf?

edit: except for this one.  Maybe it has something to do with the way images are handled?

 The only way to hodl that sort of thing is around the midsection which is not recommended by 4 out of 5 family doctors.

 I love the way you guys were thinking "Canadian" first.

 philipma1957, If you're scamming the gov't for Social Security and Medicaid when you're only 22 years old, you shouldn't post your real age on the internet!
 

  Culture shock.

 I just made myself a decaf, almond milk latte with NSA chocolate syrup and I plan to sip on it while watching മിന്നൽ മുരളി without subtitles.

Heads up American hodlers!

  Hackers are breaking into AT&T email accounts to steal cryptocurrency


" Unknown hackers are breaking into the accounts of people who have AT&T email addresses, and using that access to then hack into the victim’s cryptocurrency exchange’s accounts and steal their crypto, TechCrunch has learned.

At the beginning of the month, an anonymous source told TechCrunch that a gang of cybercriminals have found a way to hack into the email addresses of anyone who has an att.net, sbcglobal.net, bellsouth.net and other AT&T email addresses.

According to the tipster, the hackers are able to do that because they have access to a part of AT&T’s internal network, which allows them to create mail keys for any user. Mail keys are unique credentials that AT&T email users can use to log into their accounts using email apps such as Thunderbird or Outlook, but without having to use their passwords.

With a target’s mail key, the hackers can use an email app to log into the target’s account and start resetting passwords for more lucrative services, such as cryptocurrency exchanges. At that point it’s game over for the victim, as the hackers can then reset the victim’s Coinbase or Gemini account password via email.

The tipster provided a list of alleged victims. Two of the victims replied, confirming they have been hacked..."
