Statistically it's probably going to be somebody who was well known to the police and likely at the time of the attacks should have been in jail on domestic violence charges, but somehow wasn't, because that's what it always loving seems like is the case when people in this country are senselessly murdered.

Electric Wrigglies posted:Is this why some people seem way overinvested in hating on crypto? That it is seen as money Hitler would use? It's purely speculative electronic monopoly money that takes the electrical output of several European nations to maintain. Its value is poo poo because it's backed by nothing but the hopes and dreams of the next bagholder, it's ability to transfer money is poo poo in comparison with the electronic funds transfer system of any competent bank, the only reason to use it is if you're a rube, a conman, a fuckwit techbro, or someone who thinks they can get rich quick because the other guy will totally be the one holding the bag.

https://unu.edu/press-release/un-study-reveals-hidden-environmental-impacts-bitcoin-carbon-not-only-harmful-product posted:Global Bitcoin mining is highly dependent on fossil fuels, with worrying impacts on water and land in addition to a significant carbon footprint quote:during the 2020–2021 period, the global Bitcoin mining network consumed 173.42 Terawatt hours of electricity. This means that if Bitcoin were a country, its energy consumption would have ranked 27th in the world, ahead of a country like Pakistan, with a population of over 230 million people. The resulting carbon footprint was equivalent to that of burning 84 billion pounds of coal or operating 190 natural gas-fired power plants. To offset this footprint, 3.9 billion trees should be planted, covering an area almost equal to the area of the Netherlands, Switzerland, or Denmark or 7% of the Amazon rainforest. quote:The UN scientists report that Bitcoin mining heavily relies on fossil energy sources, with coal accounting for 45% of Bitcoin's energy supply mix, followed by natural gas (21%). Hydropower, a renewable energy source with significant water and environmental impacts, is the most important renewable source of energy of the Bitcoin mining network, satisfying 16% of its electricity demand. Nuclear energy has a considerable share of 9% in Bitcoin’s energy supply mix, whereas renewables such as solar and wind only provide 2% and 5% of the total electricity used by Bitcoin. Eat a turd, electric fuckwit.

Majestic posted:For someone who claims to be tuned in to the energy sector you should really be doing better. Dude used a cryptobro as his source for what the environmental impact of crypto is, he's either actually a crypto enthusiast who thinks that he's being sneaky by posting a bunch of "well crypto isn't that bad actually" screed as long as he bookends it with "but yeah I totally don't like crypto, I just post a lot about how it's misunderstood", or else he's so dense that light bends around him and we could probably get him to smoke 5 packs a day by pointing him at an article by Phillip Morris claiming that smoking doesn't have bad health effects.

Jezza of OZPOS posted:Jesus Christ is this just a Sydney thing or do all office buildings have this BC I think I'd rather be poor Adelaide here, and yeah there are smart lifts What they are supposed to do is limit the number of people in each individual lift as a health and safety measure. In practise what they do is they just add more and more people until you've got 30 people in a single lift while others lay idle. The algorithm that managed traffic for them was so horrendously busted that usually you'd only have two of them operating at any one time out of a bank of about eight, and if you were on one of the lower floors and wanted to get out of the building at knockoff time, it would be faster to press the up button, ride all the way up to the top, and then ride it down because if you just hit the down button you would be presented every 5 minutes with a lift that was completely full of people from the upper floors. And yes, it is one of those newfangled lifts which doesn't have buttons on the inside. You just press a button for the floor you want in the the lobby before getting into the lift. They operate so terribly and the impact of hitting your required floor button too many or too few times for the number of people who want to go to that floor is so bad that the company who installed the lifts has now also installed a video screen on the ground floor that has a 2-minute video presentation on a loop about how to correctly use this newfangled lift system. And if that isn't a case of failing at the first hurdle for operability, I don't know what is.

Just after the last federal election, a whole lot of people were talking about how the coalition was a spent force in politics and we'd never have another liberal prime minister, and I'm wondering what those people have to say after a near full term of the labour party dropping every single possible ball when it comes to sufficiently addressing a cost of living crisis.

A food industry heavyweight says Australians are ‘profit shaming’ a sector in crisis. I'm genuinely struggling to come up with a response to this more coherent than "get hosed you pack of dog cunts".
