Around (4 to 6) * 10^(26 to 27) J total

1 gigawatt is 10^9 J/s (so around 130 billion years to reach the above.) For a terawatt that’s 130 million years. For a petawatt 130,000 years. For an exawatt about 130 years…

Note: the sun bathes Earth with around 170,000 TW (0.17 exawatts) of energy. That’s about 700-800 years if you could make the oceans sink all that sun energy. Again, this isn’t the total output of the Sun but just what impacts Earth directly.

No. I just use the default. The forks are typically far behind… I tend to use the nightly builds. Cuz I like to find bugs and document them. :)

More Perfect Union is award-winning independent journalism. Highly credible. YouTube takes down their videos occasionally and they usually get their lawyers to get them back up… So really the issue isn’t if they’re credible, but will YouTube continue to censor them, and they probably will…

Their ideology would fit neatly into leftism/democratic socialism, IMO.

Don’t argue. No is a complete sentence. Talk to your boss about it if your coworkers have a problem with “no.” Perhaps express mild interest with appropriate additional compensation?

If you don’t enforce your boundaries, then no one will.

Trash summarizing trash.

Exponents are typically highest exponent first.

10^10^10 implies 10^(10^10) not (10^10)^10 which is astronomically different.  

PEMDAS

Parentheses, exponents, multiplication, division, addition, and subtraction.

You can use SOCKS instead of a VPN. SOCKS proxies allow arbitrary socket connections. You can use them for anything. The biggest difference is a VPN routes all(most) your traffic, whereas SOCKS are typically only used for specific(explicit) connections. Both other strong end-to-end encryption, obfuscating what you’re doing.

The good thing is the abundance of residential and mobile SOCKS proxies. So you look like a regular person on the Internet and you’re not using commercial IP ranges.

SOCKS proxies are plentiful… Just find one using a non-standard port and it’ll likely not be detected.

It’s saying they’ve increased 9 or 10 percent over 3 months. There’s 12 months in a year (annualized), which if that rate continues for a year that’d then be 40-50 percent annualized.

Don’t forget Sega channel.

There’s many bots doing that for some subs…

Oldlander extension and old.reddit.com is pretty good. I prefer RedReader, though.

“Most toxic” depends on who’s annoyed this week, but there are a few recurring mental habits that reliably rot discourse without even trying.

My biggest pet peeve is probably moral absolutism, often disguised as clarity. That’s the mindset where everything gets forced into clean categories of pure good vs pure evil, with zero tolerance for the rainbow of nuance.

Next up is identity-as-proof. If someone is in Group X, then they must believe Y, and any counterexample is treated as an anomaly or betrayal. It saves effort because you don’t have to think, just sort people into bins and react accordingly.

Then there’s algorithmic certainty syndrome, which is more modern and a bit more subtle. People get used to feeds that reinforce their priors so efficiently that disagreement starts to feel like statistical noise. So instead of updating beliefs, they just escalate confidence. Nothing says “epistemic humility” like being completely wrong with confidence.

Another one is transactional morality: “If I’m right, I’m allowed to be as harsh as I want.” Which turns every disagreement into a license for cruelty, as if correctness automatically comes with behavioral immunity.

And underneath a lot of it is something simpler and more disconcerting: comfort with not understanding things before judging them. People are so eager to tell others what they are by labeling them and defining them rather than simply talking about themselves (you… vs. I…)

John 13:34-35

I read a book about this subject. The author argued it was a new commandment, not an additional one. Because if you love one another then you would never break the prior ten commandments. Makes sense.

But Jesus loved hanging out with whores.

Many embrace being a “trad wife,” short for traditional wife. There’s also TERFs.

Just go to your nearest Pentecostal and/or Evangelical Church and you’re going to find a congregation full of such women (and men.) These people make up about a third to maybe a half of Trump’s base. Warning: they mostly all openly hate lgbtq, and they’ll do it from the podium to a cheering congregation. If you’re any sort of ‘out of the closet’ I do not suggest going.

There’s also this company called Barna research. They’re the biggest religious research institution in the world. And they also own a ton of companies (subsidiaries). Some of which produce these weekly planners for churches of all sorts of denominations. They are remarkably similar in their talking points over every Sunday in the year - all 52 of them.

It’s almost prophetic how relevant they can be (probably due to the prevalence)… Very conservative/traditional messaging. Very doom and gloom - that the end is coming, and the world’s going to shit. Very anti-progressive/anti-socialism even anti-Jesus’ teachings! And it’s the same core messaging and talking points whether it’s a Lutheran Church or Catholic Church or whatever…

That bonus slaps. Haha.

I kind of envy the hell out of this guy: https://youtu.be/n9FUoXuMd3A

I call bullshit. I’ve seen polls that put congressional approval around 10-15 percent. And Trump is running Congress as maga Republicans vote however he says.

How the hell does this make sense? Over 80 percent of Americans disapprove of Congress… Why the hell are Americans voting for these schmucks?

And they’re scrambling to gerrymander it so they can cram even more turds in the toilet.

Surprised they didn’t turn it into yet another AI!
