And in the house and senate they are minimizing this.. Paul is telling it exactly as it continues to happen. Grabbing people without knowing who they are and hauling them away. Its going to take yeats to figure out what happened to those citizens who got dragged out of state and possibly sent overseas because the didn't have an ID on them or they pissed one of these thugs off. And thats not even trying to count and figure out where people who weren't citizens disappeared to or are being killed in the gulages.

The level of privledge this ass exhibits is so on par with the whole corrupt class. He'd have no problem paying a pimp but the rest of us can't enjoy clean entertainment.

A biologist's thoughts on potential for #AI dominance.

Think of the difference between music amplified or recorded on a sensative analogue device which reproduces the analogue sound waves on vinyl or similiar material or recorded digitly where the number of sequential files sound is split into determines quality of the reproduced harmonics. (Yes, you can use digital devices to play back vinyl. Example still holds and thats not the point.) Tonal nuance is key to how you hear the essence of the art.

Now consider the organic intertwined analogue nerve/endocrine system that is your brain. Your memory of sensory information is massively complex and your thought processes that combine and recombine the information using analogue chemical gradients driven by enthalpy and millions of redundant statistically likely biochemical reactions creating cascading gradients of sensations and combinations of information.

All the bits we could ever power with our simplistic electrical power stations couldn't map the ability to delve chaos and comprehend the significance of 'butterflies' that our brains are capable of.

It's digital system limitations, not the size of the power plants, that makes the idea of replacing bioevolution of intelligence with machines ridiculous. Western science worships simplification of causes and systems. Neat tool for beginning to learn how things work. But classic mechanics and digital reduction ignores the reality of existence in the real universe where chaos rules and life has evolved and successfully exists within it.

Machines won't destroy us, but these idiot facists with their nihilistic stupidity will. If we let them.

SOLAR PANELS FROM THE 1980'S REFUSE TO DIE

.
Uncomfortable Truth: Solar panels from the 1980s
refuse to die
Panels installed between 1987 and 1993 still produce
80%+ of their original power. That's 32 to 38 years
and counting.
This isn't modern manufacturing. These are 1980s
panels enduring Swiss alpine conditions. Heat, cold
UV bombardment. Degrading at just 0.24% annually,.
A University of Applied Sciences study tracked six
svstems across Switzerland. The degradation rate?
Three times better than industry projections.
Meanwhile, we're still debating whether solar is
durable enough for institutional investment.
The usual objections:
- Panels need replacing every 20 years (killing ROI
credibility)
- Degradation makes them worthless after warranty
(blocking project finance
- The waste tsunami is coming (fueling opposition,
Here's where it gets interesting,

Modern panels degrade even slower. Around 0.5%
annually. Premium manufacturers like Panasonic hit
0.3%. A 2025 installation could realistically produce
meaningful power for 40 to 50 years.
France's oldest grid-connected system from 1992?
Still at 79.5% efficiency. Germany's got panels from
1976 feeding the grid,
The solution to everyone's panic about solar waste?
The panels aren't dying on schedule.
The industry projected 8 million metric tons of waste
by 2030. But if degradation runs 3x slower than
assumed, that timeline just shifted back a decade.
Maybe two.
The real conversation maybe we should have?
We have entire proiects built on the presumption of
panels failing faster than they actually do. Financial
models. All based on 25-year lifespans.
Utilities banking on distributed solar aging out? Could
they get decades more usage.
CFOs who modeled 25-vear returns?
Did their actual ROI just double.
Recyclers building capacity for 2030 volumes?
Stagnate.

So here's my question for clean energy
professionals:

If panels last 40+ vears instead of 25, how does that
change your project finance? Your investment
thesis? Your grid defection timeline?
What's your take: is 40-year longevity solar's hidden opportunity.

B.C. quietly allowed an oil and gas giant to sidestep rules for more than 4,300 pipelines

B.C.’s energy regulator has the power to grant exemptions — without notifying the public. Experts are raising the alarm about the process, saying the regulator is playing soft with fossil fuel companies that break rules

'Even worse, one of the dark money groups he (Musk) funds, Building America’s Future, created a deceptive front group called Progress 2028 that purports to be a progressive alternative to Project 2025 and is running digital ads and sending out text messages praising Schimel’s opponent, Dane County Judge Susan Crawford for positions she has not actually taken. “Judge Susan Crawford would reform cash bail (and) supports second chances, not incarceration,” one text message said. “Say thank you.” These fake ads are meant to tie Crawford to unpopular positions and motivate conservative activists.'
