- Comment on How bad is it that Israel has attacked Iran? 2 days ago:
70/30 this is right. Too many in middle east are friends to US to side too hard with Iran. Only Russia is a strong enough ally to destroy Tel Aviv, but most of US approaches to Russia have involved US statements that “Russia agrees that Iran should never have nuclear weapons” which means it is their primary concern with Russia discussions, even though Russia never mentions it in their statements.
Tolerance for Israel seems high, and world seems to have bigger priorities.

- Comment on Russia is at war with Britain and US is no longer a reliable ally, UK adviser says 1 week ago:
The US joined the war in Europe as a war on USSR. To limit their gains. Colonizing the western part.
- Comment on Russia is at war with Britain and US is no longer a reliable ally, UK adviser says 1 week ago:
It’s Britain who has been at war with Russia for 80 years. Ironically, the only reason was to stay on the good side of its colonist emperor, and be its favorite. That British society is entirely programed to CIA/MI6 Russophobia doesn’t stop when Daddy slaps them. Just got to work harder for daddy’s love, is only political position in Overton window instead of pursuing best relations for citizens.
- Comment on If we replace most plastic with a non plastic alternative and would that really be better? 1 week ago:
Plastic is not a climate problem. Ocean pollution is mainly fishing nets. There is a garbage problem that automation can help with recycling. Making fishing nets out of cotton instead of nylon would be a big improvment.
Wood and paper is a renewable resource that could be used more. Global warming is especially a threat to vast northern forests with fire that are paper sources, while also permitting more/bigger tree growth in the regions. Harvesting trees is a solution to fires, and more demand an incentive to prevent fires.
Manufacturing with compressed sawdust could be a cost competitive alternative to plastic, but the binder could make the wood product less recyclable.

- Comment on AMC Theatres Quarterly Losses Hit $202.1 Million After Box Office Got Off to Rocky Start 5 weeks ago:
The proposal for 100% tariffs on movies is certain to put AMC in immediate bankruptcy, if done.
- Comment on Bitcoin mining is no longer profitable 1 month ago:
Also a clue from one of the links is that “German industrial rate customers, cost is $200k/btc”. Their industrial rate is $0.25/kwh, and so then their claim is based on 12c/kwh utility rates. Utility rates has pretty much always been cost prohibitive. Wholesales and behind the meter power is certainly an advantage large scale mining uses.
- Comment on Trump Blames Biden for Disastrous Q1 Economic News: ‘NOTHING TO DO WITH TARIFFS’ 1 month ago:
On Nov 20th, Goldman Sachs expected 2025 growth to be 2.5%, and had just a 15% chance of recession. Now recession is likely, and the most optimistic forecasts for the year are 1.1%-1.2%.

AFAIU, it doesn’t change the PH neutrality.
I understand that they self combine/react again? But is that reaction still water?
- Comment on Is water an acid or a base? 1 month ago:
H2O is neutral PH, and so answer is no. But then water tends to have a bunch of shit disolved in it. So answer is yes.
A self-contradicting proposition based on ambiguity of definition of water, of all things. This statement can be used to make HAL explode.
- Comment on Trump tells Canadians to Elect the guy who'll make them the 51st State of US [Canadian elections today] 1 month ago:
FYI, this is unpopular among Canadian voters. Conservative underdog, tries to deny being a lapdog, or supporting the idea, but this unfiltered BS doesn’t help him. It’s just a sign that Trump is completely out of control surrounded only by people who must restrain themselves on pushback to only far stupider things he might say.
- Comment on If I snapped you back in time 650 years right this very second, how would you use your current knowledge to succeed? 1 month ago:
Electricity is a pretty easy concept. Steam power driving magnets and copper. That rare earths make better magnets should be easy enough to search for them. Copper wires to deliver the electricity easy AF. Can help jump start progress to late 21st century for some things.
- Comment on If I snapped you back in time 650 years right this very second, how would you use your current knowledge to succeed? 1 month ago:
I don’t know how to refine oil, but knowing that its refinable into diesel/gasoline is a pretty good start to looking for it. A head start on murdering some sperm whales for lighting industry seems easy enough to figure out. Partnering with metal smiths who might have a clue on making gun barrels, and pipe’s in general that could be used for advanced weaponry, would be an easy path to get governments to give me a ton of money for weapons research by just showing them some drawings. Doesn’t really matter if I ever figure out how to do it, just the vision of what is possible would make me richer than Musk. Richer if I can help enslave all of humanity to one empire.

- Comment on China tells US to ‘cancel all unilateral tariffs’ if it wants talks 1 month ago:
China is definitely winning the posturing game, and Trump saying “trade negotiators met today, but cannot be named” is yet another of his obvious lies.
China having meetings with Japan, while Japan’s meetings with US don’t go anywhere, because Trump is only interested in complaints instead of asking anything specific and reasonable, is simply a continuation of the original reason reciprocal tariffs were suspended for 90 days: Chinese trade and diplomacy exploded in just a few days.

Liz Truss was so horrible that if she did not actively poison the Queen, made her so digusted with UK/world as to give up all hope for life. JD, as vice anti-Christ, can have a similiar effect.
- Comment on Who should america be more concerned about MS-13 or Russia? 1 month ago:
The US has threatened Russia for last 80 years. At increased levels in last 20 years. Forcing Russia to defend itself in last 3 years has made it stronger. There is absolute blowback danger from Russia, that can extend to nuclear destruction, but it as fully self inflicted as going around zoinking Grizzly bears’ tails. Foreign national threats to US are entirely the result of US evil, and US desperation is making it worse.

- Comment on California Is Preparing to Sue Trump to Stop His Tariffs 1 month ago:
This is a tiny (insuficient without more) step towards that. Declaring ICE and other Federal agents to be outlaws (No penalties for murder, theft, rape) would reduce their presence. South Carolina declared that it should not collect/submit to 1828 tariffs, and were the seeds of secession 30 years later. That Californians should be forced to buy cars from Detroit made $20k more than Chinese EVs, or Pensylvania steel 50% more than Chinese, requires a desire for unity, and conditions of harmony.

Minecraft is only technically an original movie. Video game “franchise” popular with kids is usual “formula slop” leveraging past pop culture.
