I know that a good blood plasma substitute is coconut water, but I wonder if tears can be used too?
I wonder if there's a gay version for Bawb?
There is already a crunchy penis everyone can buy at their local supermarket.
(clearing my search history as I type)
can we get a proper photo shop of the Johnson about to enter the box maybe homerx?
Wew... caught my lil selfie.. just in time.
Almost reported that "lewd one."
I agree from a different perspective.
Getting our energy needs from oil and gas is the problem. Bitcoin mining could be powered by green energy. We could produce more than enough green energy for all our needs if big oil wasn't screwing everyone over by manipulating politicians in their favor.
I thought that bitcoin systems were adding towards the creation of better incentives for bitcoin miners to seek lower cost energy, and I did not know that bitcoin gave too many shits about which kind of energy as long as it was relatively cheaper in terms of not necessarily competing with higher energy demand areas.
So without even pushing to control the kinds of energy that bitcoin would use, it would somewhat naturally seek the less expensive stuff and therefore cause incentives that even off the places in which energy might be trapped or wasted - and therefore maybe even increasing incentives to produce more energy overall because bitcoin mining would be creating value where there had not previously been value.. potentially making the pie BIGGER for everyone.
You seem to be getting into dangerous territory, goldkingcoiner if you are suggesting that some kinds of energy production is bad or should be discouraged, and for sure there seem to be weird battles regarding energy production in recent time.. that seem to be devolving into telling people what kinds of energy they are permitted to use and not to use.. which then seems to exacerbate some of the worsening production issues.. or supply side issues.. and sure, it does not help to be having a BIG battle with Russia around this topic either..
I am not against "green energy" in principle but there seems to be a lot of weird control issues going on, and even the solution to high energy prices seems to be to print more money rather than to increase production of energy.. sure some of that energy can come from "cleaner" sources, but we should not be living in a time in which any of us should have to consider rationing energy and just that regular peeps should be able to have access to energy.. and of course, if there are shortages of energy.. it seems like a production side issue.. not as much of a demand issue.. and yeah incomes of people around the world is not equally distributed, either.
as far as the animation goes, it seems to work
There's low hanging fruit too, no?.. and maybe a lot of the plastic does float to the surface.. perhaps perhaps.. are there any garbage patch experts in these here parts?
I suppose that I could look it up on the interwebs, if I was more ambitious.
Who's paying for it?
What do they do with the garbage?
I heard that recycling is a scam, and it doesn't really happen on the scale that we had been told in the 70s... so there are various differences in the kinds of plastics that would NOT have much if any "recyclable" value... so then which kinds of plastics can actually be recycled.. and then are they sortable.. or are we just being sold a bag of tricks.. and there is not much if any value in recycling a large number of items that we previously thought to be recyclable?
The heavy mining energy costs are definitely driving us towards green energy.
The cost of electricity is calculated from generation, transmission, and distribution. Generation is the lucrative part for big oil and the part they do not want to let go of. Green energy would actually be the cheaper alternative, if fully implemented. Renewable energy sources are already the cheapest energy sources since 2020
1. Big oil is tricking people in so many nefarious ways. Its shocking, really.
1 https://www.irena.org/newsroom/articles/2022/Jul/Competitiveness-of-Renewables-Continued-Amid-Fossil-Fuel-CrisisYou're right. Recycling plastic is definitely a scam. Another scam by big oil / big plastic to dupe people into buying more plastic. Fuck polluters and their bullshit mentality towards our planet.

Bravo....
Note that I've decided to suspend ad sales. These auctions will probably be permanently ended, and I'm not sure whether or in what form advertising in general will be continued. Maybe some ads will go up again fairly soon, or maybe there will never be any more ads; I haven't decided yet. The main reasons for this decision are:
Firstly, I'm finding it too difficult to determine which services are legit/safe and which are not. It takes me 30+ minutes to research each new service to reach at least some level of confidence in it, but at the end of this I often still don't feel fully confident. Bitcointalk.org is meant to be operated "as a service to the community", so it's very important to me that bitcointalk.org not be seen to be putting profit above the interests of its users. (I've been kind of shocked at the crypto-related ads that are shown on TV, which are often way beyond anything I'd accept here. And I'd like to tighten our standards.)
.....
Finally, bitcointalk.org has a large reserve of BTC, so we're able to continue operating without ad revenue for many years. It's not even necessary to cut expenses or find replacement sources of revenue anytime soon, and I currently have no solid plans to do these things. I do regard it as less than ideal to be operating at a constant loss, especially because it constraints any desired future growth in expenses. Improving this situation will be on my mind in the coming years, but luckily it need not be a high priority.
He could just offer to reputable companies with longstanding reputations. Economically, that would be the better decision. We do want to advertise our forum so more people join and learn about Bitcoin, do we not? Marketing costs money too.
