  1. Going to be strait this climate thing will not be solved period. an No it wont be "Big Oil" or the "right wing" or any other excuse BS that's going to stop the fix its all the Bull Crap twinkle fairy Sunshine and rainbows technologies that might be practical some day technology basket that all the Climate alarmed want to toss all the eggs in. Not to mention all the hypocrite crap like screaming at people enjoying a Hamburger while they pull out there new phone they replace every year to shame said burger eater on Twitter. Issue one Solar and and are great when the wind is blowing and the sun is out but its still not 100% practical and it is also environmentally harmful to manufacture Rare earth metals are poisonous to mine we need something that works now and at the moment that is Nuclear and before you ask about waste did you know the French found ways to recycle spent fuel and still get more energy in the process https://www.anl.gov/article/nuclear-fuel-recycling-could-offer-plentiful-energy however people freak the heck out every time this solution is mentioned. issue 2 Bull s*it solutions for a real problem Lets start with the Biggest Placebo Band-Aid of them all Ev's To start with we have all the issues of Rare earth metals I mentioned earlier we can go do you know what kind of power station is supplying your area if it's coal or Natural gas or any other old Dinosaur bits your fancy EV is doing jack squat for your carbon footprint except for perhaps giving you a reason to feel better than the people around you who could not afford to drop $40,000 on green tech scam. the other issue is the EV detracts from the real fix make cities walkable or even better make it bicycle friendly the Bicycle is the single most efficient means to transport humans there is you can travel hundreds of miles on a burrito. Electric cars just make cities keep the horrible car-centric design they are using now. Issue the Stop the bleeding Hypocrisy i already mentioned the whole Hamburger thing but lets talk about air travel and i wont talk about the celebrities going to climate change conferences in private jets but private people screaming bloody murder about air travel while ate the same time ordering crap online next day delivery (how do you think that is getting to you across country over night? in a UPS or Fed-Ex Jet of course) we need real solutions now and not authoritarian chuckle F*cks trying to change peoples diet (that will just turn people off) TLDR the whole way climate change is being handled is a joke dependent on dirty technologies that might work "someday" and were all doomed because of it remember this rubbish form 5 years ago ?
  2. hopefully people soon wake up from all the NFT and crypto stuff and realize they are being bamboozled (thankfully the "value on this stuff is starting to fall and with Kosovo outright banning funny money mining causing a huge dip in the hash rate will make it drop faster. https://slashdot.org/story/22/01/17/0518247/after-kosovo-suspends-cryptocurrency-mining-miners-scramble-to-sell-off-their-equipment
  3. No I don't believe that the symbols of the CSA belong in the town square I do feel its wrong to remove them from the cemetery the grave yard is a place where people hold sacred to the memory of there love ones anything placed there was not out of come campaign of fear or whatever but as a place of memory and What better place to remember bad ideas than a place where the dead are remembered. and no matter what the person below ground felt we need to retain our humanity and remember respect the persons intured purely out of the fact that they were human. and thus my pet peeve is displayed here Something that was purely done to RESPECT THE DEAD has become political. note both the US flag and the other were knocked over likely by the wind if you see something knocked over in a grave yard it is simply respectful to place it upright. it is not a place to let your political feelings get in the way.
  4. the scary thing was if it is like the way early people got to the "new world" back than many were contracted to a compony others were in Indentured Servitude to a person who was here and could afford yo pay for someone else to travel. these days indentured servitude may not be in labor but agreeing to have no rights of privacy at all for "Research purposes" Like what we live with now but much much worse.
  5. I recently discovered a wonderful YouTube channel by the name of "Faces of the Forgotten" in which the Gentlemen Who runs the channel Visits cemeteries and tell the story of one of a person who now rests there. (the stories are well researched and he shows any relevant photos or news stories on screen) As he walks to the grave of the he will show other grave markers usually ones that are over 100 years old and will also place any grave decorations that have been knocked over upright and is in general respectful of the dead. Today he published a video about a young Girl who was a Circus performer that strayed to close a lion and was mauled to death by it. the part that got me mad was in the middle he comes across the grave of Civil war private and out both the US flag and the Confederate Battle Flag that was placed at this Private's grave. What make it sad is he became tong tied trying to explain that he was respecting the man and not the cause he fought for for some reason the fact that someone had to become tong tied over simply doing the right thing at a Persons Grave out of fear someone would take it the wrong way saddens me. Where ever you sit on it please do not go to his comments section and cause a ruckus hw just simply tells historical stories that would only be found if you dug in a small town's historical Society's archive

  19. About people being forgotten It reminds me of my time in College I went to a small Private School in in Southern Wisconsin, Close to campus Was a cemetery that housed the founders of the City up to grave of the late 1940's Including a Titanic Casualty as well as Roy Chapman Andrews the naturalist who found the first example in history of Fossilized Dinosaur eggs. It was also full of many knocked over shattered and otherwise vandalized Monuments. What stuck out to me On the Westernmost side of this Cemetery was probably at one point absolutely Magnificent Mausoleum (attaching a google maps areal view of the structure) you will notice at the entry of the walkway is 4 Plinths each one at one time held some type of statue these were long sense gone and the whole thing was covered in Graffiti. I recall being very fascinated about who it was who would warrant such a grand Tomb So I went digging at the Historical Society This Vandalized House of Eternity is the Grave of the Founder of the Architectural Brass Works which was at one time World Famous for producing the most beautiful door hardware in the world and Produced the Hardware found in the Houses of such figures "Robber baron" industrialists of the early 20th Century they also produced the brass hardware used in the State of Wisconsin Capitol, White House and the United States Capitol building! his work opens the doors every day in Halls of government and he is all but forgotten resting in a vandalized crypt.
