Pornhub's business model is a blasting stolen porn content into the eyes of children. It's extremely modern capitalism that they've somehow successfully branded themselves as the cute quirky friendly internet citizen that just loves data and consent.

No. There is no ethical consumption under capitalism. Almost none of the women working in pornography would do it without the pressures of a capitalist society.

Dashing? But I'm not even moving!


i grew up in Miami, where there's this annual book festival that Douglas Adams made a point of going to a lot (since it's in Miami and he lived in Britain). One year Terry Jones was there on stage with him, talking about the Starship Titanic novelization, I think called Douglas Adams' Starship Titanic: A Novel by Terry Jones. Starship Titanic was a computer game that Adams had written and worked on, and he decided that he was too busy to write the novel too, so, he asked Jones to, and Jones replied (according to the story they both told), that he would only agree if he could do it completely in the nude.

that's my terry jones story.

Fracking is going to be one where the history books are like "so the dumb motherfuckers..."

Even without nonsense like this or the earthquakes, or undocumented methane spewing all over dirt cheap natural gas really makes it harder to justify pushing into green energy or nuke plants.

Fracking is not really the problem. Fracking is just a method for encreasing permeability. The problem is the narrow view that seems to prevail in exploration of hydrocarbon reserves, whether that's in consideration of how those sediments lie in relation to radionuclide-bearing crystalline rock or with regards to that source/reservoir rock's hydrogeologic interactions. There are plenty of cases where fracking is the most sensible means of extracting the resource.

The induced seismicity is not a direct result of fracking, either. It's probably driven by injections of wastewater (brine) for disposal, which wouldn't be such a problem if we weren't trying to frack every shale everywhere to get as much cheap gas as we can out of any probable reserve

Don't look into how much water we're using for all of this lol

Lmao the public line is that they were deeply concerned about the radiation, but the god's honest truth is that the nuclear explosion method of fracturing shocks the quartz in the sediments, reducing both porosity and permeability, rendering that an ineffective method for petroleum extraction

I'm reading the numbers the Chinese government is claiming to have identified and tracked, but I'm also seeing this, and IR temperature scanners at airports and the like. I really, really suspect the number is absurdly higher than just a few hundred, or a few thousand. The first outbreak was at a huge fish/wholesale food market- this is going to be the thing that we thought SARS/MERS was going to be.

I think it's kind of clear that the true story is buried. The Chinese government is shutting down the ~40th biggest city in the whole world over a new virus that is killing fewer people than the common cold?

It's good that we're not in a panic here, but its blatantly obvious that China isn't telling the whole story here.

Well yeah, the other thing to keep in mind is that the case-fatality rate is going to be skewed this early in the infection period. IANAD, but I have been developing a statistics background, usually, in modeling the risk of epidemic/contagion, the only reliable data you get this early is transmission rate, vector, and viral load- fatalities usually start slowly and pick up as the infection rate grows, and a wider cross-section gets infected.

It's not panic-worthy, but man I hate how the CCP buries stuff until it's egg over their own, and neighbors' faces

edit: there's also the insanity about the alleged organized crime efforts to infect farmers' pork holdings with the swine flu to influence pricing, that and the incredible abuse and misuse rates of antibiotics in the region in general, and China in particular.

Also Im pretty sure they use radioactive sources in exploratory drills to see what the ground conditions are like on the way down to the reserve. I don't think it would contaminate as much as that articles says though (I know they say it's cause of elements in the earth)

Yeah, nuc guages of various types are used to find both density and porosity. It's one of the standard measurements on a well log. I agree that (safely used) it's not much of a contamination source -- similar tech is used all the time in construction projects and probably where you work
