No, try reading it again.

"a legal "Research Chemical" with effects similar to MDMA (Methylone/bk-MDMA)"

Someone that is quick to assume without reading could easily make this mistake.. there are my research chemicals that are not technically categorized and not MDMA.

Survivorship bias... many people don't, the stories of the few that do are impressive and worthy of hearing.

Absolute values matter more IMO. Any time people use % or per capita, it means they live in a city. I see this quite often, and it's just a way to skew rhetoric.

Just my opinion.

Texas produces more wind and solar than any other state, what are you talking about?

"Plenty"

Plenty of people stick things in their butt and go to the emergency room. So what.

You are the one using the term woke, it's no where in the article.

The only people using these terms with regards to solar is terminally online people or people who watch 24/7 news.

Texas has more solar capacity than California, does that make Texas woke?

Do you realize you are part of the global culture war by posting your comment?

Did you know Texas produces more solar energy than California? https://insideclimatenews.org/news/05032026/inside-clean-ene...

FB finally got me with this. I refused to install any social media apps, but had to get messenger as I was missing important messages. So it's the only one I have.

Because AI models can create other ones and the weights/training data is what models. So you can hoard data, but not the models.

I think the point is that it is his OPs opinion and they cannot read the future. Nobody here can, so the reply has just as much weight as the original.

So saving and living below means is a great strategy either way.

That [getting banned] doesn't tell you anything really, they probably just thought you were a troll.

I get banned from subs sometimes by just asking a opposing question.

If you were going to write a article or print a magazine cover , you might want to know this.

You could also take the other side to hedge some risk. It's up to them to define the value, not you for them.

There is very little we do that is "needed" if you break it down to actual necessities (basic needs pyramid).

How can the average citizen who knows nothing about engineering/technology determine that their electric bill [as the result of a new datacenter in town] won't go up as truthful or falsehood?

I thought centrist stayed in the center, but left or right moves far in one direction. So in relatively speaking, you maybe right, but not absolutely.

It read to me like a post mortem on why she failed [opposite of success]. She failed because she was bad at changing the culture which is a core competency of leadership. It doesn't really matter what the people think one way or another, the job of a leader is to lead, "win hearts and minds"

This seems pretty self evident.
