The people who would fall for it... who also can figure out how to get and transfer bitcoin and could do so without someone telling them to not do this shit.... seems like a subset of a subset of a subset. Kinda hard to believe anyone falls into that vanishingly small category

This means we'll need capture efficiency technology above 66% for this to be a net positive in terms of power generation.
For current fission nuclear power plants: "Nuclear power plant efficiency averages around 33%, which is comparable to other fossil fuel-based generation units. This means that 77% [sic, should be 67%] of the energy produced by a nuclear plant is lost and only 33% is converted into electricity. Some modern nuclear plants may be able to achieve 45% efficiency."
So they just treat you like shit because they want to. Got it.

Honestly, gotta wonder if it's not this bear from California and everyone's just been lying about where it's going on both ends of the transaction. Link: https://archive.is/JcCWY
I thought it had been largely agreed upon that Mr. scientology middle-tooth jump-on-Oprah's-couch serial-abusive-husband ruins everything he touches. I've actively avoided movies he had any involvement with for like two decades now, so I don't have any knowledge of more recent work.... Legend (1985) was pretty good, but Ridley Scot, Tim Curry and Mia Sara carried that film.
everyone thinks that.
they also think it's stupid to show up to a place where they do nothing like half the time with other people they don't really like just so they can have a place to sleep and food to eat. sometimes they even think it was stupid they were ever born. (just me?) there's so much dumb shit we're forced to live with.
bank accounts? dumb. bus fares? fucking stupid. cultural attitudes towards nudity and sex? moronic. cultural attitudes towards portrayals of violence? so much worse. general attitudes about mental health? actively unhelpful. sports tv? non-sports tv? birthdays? birthday cards? the US fucking tax system, where you have to pay on time and get it right or go to jail but they can't just send you a bill? wtf is that even about....
There's so much stupid shit we're forced to live with that you need a 6 month vacation to figure out what maybe means something to you as an individual, but you're gonna have to forget that shit to functionally live in society so why fucking bother...
but yeah, internet privacy. idk, just set up a gang of accounts with your password managers. don't cross reference anything via email. no social media. end up with no friends, and generally a recluse. then you won't get specific ads that try to undermine your freedom... I do all those things, but sometimes I wonder why even bother.
Sometimes it feels like the real loss of freedom is what's required to pursue the idea of privacy. And for that, I don't know there's a remedy.
