Fuck 'em. Isolate your local net from the world and only let through devices you trust. Plenty of ways to do that, even at low expense. But you will have to make the effort or pay someone else to do it.

Stop building nuclear reactors.

Yes, of course. I can only imagine the deaths and destruction that tsunami would have caused if it were a wind or solar plant.

/SARCASM you idiot!

It's late (of course) and HUGELY over budget (also of course). The planners always knew it would be way late and way over budget. None of that mattered, because the 'regulatory' system guarantees they get it all back (and more) from the rate payers.

It was also painfully obvious WHEN THIS WAS PLANNED that building Solar and/or Wind would get done sooner and far less expensively.

You'd think that quoting facts would strengthen ones argument, all these tiny and sometimes very specific facts with no context had the opposite effect.

God only knows what he thinks his corporate profits "should be", but I'd bet it's a lot higher that you or I would guess.

It also works on SSDs, and yes, SSDs have the same problem because the drive controllers were not written from scratch.

(No affiliation here. It's just a tool I use because it works.)

I'm a PhD chemist. Please consider this: While plastics and oil are both hydrocarbons they have this important difference. Liquid hydrocarbons have short carbon chains and lots of hydrogen. Plastics have very LONG carbon chains, usually with many double bonds, and very little hydrogen.

That is why, when you heat plastic it decomposes into char -- as in charcoal. It is IMPOSSIBLE to produce oil, even theoretically, without adding a source of hydrogen.

A few centuries ago these same fraudsters would be selling you a way to change Iron into Gold.

But the 'lesson' he presented never claimed to be an exclusive either-or. It just says "here are two possible explanations for something".

There's sloppy thinking like this throughout. Thumbs down for me.

Really, the key here is that it's on-screen model shows the yellow lines. It must have become terminally confused to plot that course. Looks like it threw away the model and the rules and just decided to end it all.

Headline: "Tesla computer, in fit of depression, commits murder/suicide". (With a number of !s appropriate to the publishing venue.)

What's the name for the slash marks sometimes found on suicide victims, where they tried to cut their own throat or wrists several times before they succeed? Hesitation marks? Maybe that's what we're seeing here. /facetious
