Why would we run out of electricity?
We have been producing electricity for over 100 years now, during countless wars and crisis, and with many different methods. Sure there might be temporary blackouts locally, but a total, for ever, worldwide blackout? Not gonna happen.

re: infofronts "fuckyoucoiner" poll

my answer is based on todays value of ~$4k USD.

voted 200-499

reason is less than 200 btc is currently worth less than 1 mil USD (800k) max. now, combined with my other assets that possibly could meet minimum "set for life" money (although i would have to be careful) baring catastrophic collapse of fiat or other large scale unforeseen collapse of local civilization. although it could survive some fairly major "shit hits the fan things." largely because i already have a lot of what i need and all is paid off, in good repair, common failure mode spare parts, plus a decent amount of common maintenance stuff like tools, fuel, oil, filters are already purchased. stuff is well taken care of, and i have gone through a LOT of more or less worst case scenarios in my head, test my infrastructure and backup systems regularly, and modify things as real world testing indicates. a couple real world tests have validated my setups (tornado, week long power outage).

but to me thats not really "fuckyoucoiner" level. as you really have to e careful who you say "fuck you" to (aside from JJG on "fuckyou thursday" of course ).

so, at todays ~4k price i voted 200 - 499. so 800k-2 mil. split the difference, say 1.5 mil. combined with what i have that translates into being pretty comfortable. should allow a good sized cushion against much unforeseen stuff, still allow a pretty good lifestyle with the option of discretionary buying of toys and such. provides a decent amount of "fuck you" to things.

keep in mind that im older. younger people would need more as it needs to last longer. and if btc moons, well infofront will need a new poll.

Actually you might have persuaded me that 2 + 2 doesn’t necessarily equal 4.  You might have gotten me there.

I haven’t responded because I am still thinking about it.  To your point, it’s not a topic I know a lot about.

 Just to add to the shades of grey; the numeral 4 doesn't even exist in base 2 and 3 number systems and while it exists in the base 4 number system as a descriptor,  2+2=10

edit: Help!  I've fallen behind in the thread and I can't catch up.

Do you not understand that most labor in modern civilization is done by machines and much of that is oil powered?  It requires a human doing physical labor for 12 years to equal one barrel of oil.  This is where all the huge increase in qualify of life came from for humans.  The oil barrels are your black servants so to speak.  You remove oil from the equation and humans themselves are going to be doing a lot more of the work.  Here's some math/engineering on it:

https://fatcatwatch.wordpress.com/2011/04/30/abarrel-of-crude-is-worth-164000/

Warning:  blog is written by a lunatic Marxist, but I think his math on oil checks out.  He claimed a world run by women that disenfranchises men would have less wars.  I think female rulers actually started more wars per capita but not sure.  Females do not really care about if men live or die so wouldn't be surprised if they were more careless in sending them off to their deaths.

Again, just because we use oil right now doesn't mean we have to. We have a myriad of options with different trade offs. Nuclear power is the easiest solution. But there are others.

That takes years...decades...to transition to.  Our civilizations are run by demonic Jews that do not give a flying shit about the welfare of any of the inhabitants, only how much they can steal from or enslave you.  Actually planning for the future would decrease how much they can steal from you in the present, so it's not done.  Or as Max Keiser calls them, suicide bankers.  The plan is always to scam everyone possible and then outsource the cost of the catastrophe to someone else like the 'taxpayer'.  

If the cost of not spending money to build things like these highly effective, mirror array solar collectors everywhere is the complete collapse of civilization because they would rather steal the money instead, well, that's Talmudic Jewry for you:

We have been producing electricity for ONLY about 100 years. Oil and coal are the driving force behind it. We have plenty of coal allegedly, but you forget what I have been talking about recently. People today have fucking small amygdalas. We WANT to die as a group. People are gonna obstruct the use of profitable power with ethics and other bullshit while people are dying. Solar and wind is simply not enough for our current lifestyle.

Has there been a massive MSM outrage yet? Against the letter?

Far right, hardcore anti-immigration senator from Australia? Unlikely there will be.

But the idea that somehow immigrants are responsible for their own unprovoked, cold-blooded murder is fucking sickening.

And accurate.

You don't have to like it, but it is a fact that Islam is fundamentally incompatible with western culture. They have no business here. And no place at all to play victims.

So let me get this straight: you're saying they deserved to be massacred? And being a victim of a massacre isn't an appropriate time to "play victim"?

Yes. And their little children too, they are all part of the same group.

But not their dogs.

And no, I am not joking. The dogs did nothing wrong.

I wonder how someone could be intelligent enough to open an account on this forum but then retarded enough to condone a massacre of innocent people.

Thank you for your emotional ourburst. It was exactly what I expected. As a wise person once said, NPCs are gonna NPC.

Can you explain, with facts and numbers and cause and effect, why I am wrong? Your personal emotions in this moment are not evidence of anything.

[realr0ach]

We have plenty of coal allegedly

Supposedly 100 years of coal in the US, but I don't know many people with coal powered cars.  So yea, shouldn't be a problem powering buildings in the US with a combination of coal and nuclear, but there's no substitute for oil to power the cars.  The future I imagine for the west is an oil shock and a large societal shift to where western countries are going to be riding around on little motorcycles that consume small amounts of gas like they do in Asian countries.  Then some electric cars here and there, with the big gas guzzlers only being used to transport food or other materials.

As for this ArrieMoller and Trollgoossens guy, Europe has just about no fossil fuels, so you guys are cucked unless you beg Putin to not let you die.

If you adhere to a religion that condones and even encourages terrorism and slaughter of anyone that holds another opinion then your own, you are not innocent.

[realr0ach]

These people are clueless.  There are three main religions.  Christianity is the ONLY all-inclusive, benign one out of those three.  The other two:  the evil cult of Judaism and militant Islam, are focused entirely on tribal warfare, killing or enslaving the outsiders who are not a part of your group, or otherwise treating them vastly different than your own group.  Both Judaism and Islam state it's perfectly fine to lie non-Muslims or Jews for instance.  It's also allowed for Jews to steal from 'goyim' and do other things.  Many Rabbi even state it's okay to steal a goyim's organs to benefit the life of a Jew.

Why do you think the Jews run the fucking human organ trafficking rings?  They're practicing exactly what they preach.  It's not even some random, non-religious, lunatic Jew doing it, it's the actual Rabbi themselves:

Wind and water works, but it's by far not the only ways to produce electricity. 96% of Norways production comes from hydro, and 64 TWh of swedens as well, and 63 TWh from nuclear.
Each country has there own mix if one stops you still have the rest, and you can trade with neighboring countries.

EDIT: Sorry its TWh for Sweden, or about 40% each

Near as I can tell both the extreme left (Stalin) and the extreme right (Sparta, no modern analogues exist) are authoritarian. Personal liberty can only exist between those extremes, in times of peace.

I agree with PoliticalCompass: one axis (authoritarian/libertarian) is not enough to pinpoint a political position, not even a meaningful approximation.

I took their test some years ago, and I remember where I was placed by it (well, more or less). I'll retake it soon, just to see if my position has changed.

I got bored on page 2 of stupid questions

[jojo69]

I didn’t follow jojo and the ignore things.....

Can’t be he ignored all of them?? Or did he?

And why?

I clearly stated that anyone re-quoting the pedo pics would be insta-ignored.  Further re-quoting was quite unnecessary as we had all seen the material several times by then.  The twerking pic, in particular, makes me feel physically ill.  In my opinion anyone re-propagating that should be ashamed of themselves.

I gave you a pass Mic, because your post used the less offensive image, reduced in size, angled and incorporated into a meme highlighting and mocking Ayre's deviant nature.  As such I judged that it constituted actual new content with merit.

It does occur to me that some folks may have re-quoted the images as they came across them while reading the thread in order, as such they would not yet know how many times they had already been re-propagated nor seen my post.  In light of that I will in one weeks time unignore those users, while making a note to watch for future displays of pederast tendencies from those users.

My monitor is my business, and I will not allow material I find nauseating to be displayed on it.

[Globb0]

We will relatively soon get to a point where people will be able to create their vision at will (at first digitally only), and value will be derived based on how capable a person is to create an experience of interest to others.

I've already seen other people bring up this shitcoiner topic before, that EVERYONE will have their own coin that derives value from what they produce or whatever.  Assuming you could even make it work with all the interchangeability problems, most people simply produce nothing, so it's like....lol?  You are aware of the term bread and circus right?  

Welfare is money you bribe poor people with so they don't murder you in your sleep and take your stuff.  In that regard, any change back to a non-fantasy land, fraudulent monetary system is probably going to involve enormous taxes on 'the haves' to distribute bread to the people who produce nothing to stop them from burning down the planet.  Well, actually, just the cost of handing out food would be low and not requiring enormous taxes, but that assumes you completely abolish the entire military money laundering scam, medicare money laundering scam, and all other fraudulent govt programs.

By digitally only I mean that people will create virtual worlds and experiences that others will choose to consume. Similar to Youtube, Twitch and Patreon today but on a much larger scale.

Costs are on an exponential downward slope for any physically produced good that the government or other such players don't have their hands in. As such, there will be no need for labour in the traditional sense. And value and money will literally just be brownie points exchanged between different parties. For this even shitcoins would fit the bill. But I think that something like Bitcoin will be the common denominator, as central bank fiat currencies are inflating too much.

But do you need VR.

Dreams are full reality to you, so you have all the equipment already.

Just needs some way to tap into lucid dreaming or trigger a certain sort of dream. eg High pleasure dream sir?

I Don't see a pole shift interfering with electricity production, the other two are real threats, but it will still only be local and temporary (and a good reason to have an old pre electronic car in your garage as a backup, together with sufficient amounts of gasoline, and some vital electronics and devices in a Faraday's cage for spare just in case).

Breaking $4,000 is so close yet seems so significant. I’m not sure why but $4,000 seems like a psychological barrier to break & stay above.

No surprises here

Interesting.  I would have put you with quite a bit more positive Y axis Hairy.  You always seem to be looking to the state for solutions in your posts.

Well actually you Ibian is the one who should explain with facts and numbers and cause and effect why you would be right in saying that some people deserve to be massacred and emphasizing the massacre of their children too...
I know you don't need it (and probably don't deserve it either) but I somehow pity you, go figure.

If you adhere to a religion that condones and even encourages terrorism and slaughter of anyone that holds another opinion then your own, you are not innocent.

There is no doubt about that, but implying that Islam is a religion that condones and even encourages terrorism and slaughter of anyone that holds another opinion then your own seems far from accurate (and I'm being nice).
Can you explain, with facts and numbers and cause and effect where this comes from?

You guys are quite the funny bunch, thanks for the entertainment
