Do it before they drag you into an argument, lose, then ban you.

If I want to commit a selection of files, but not others, then I’m clicking boxes not typing filenames.

ISIS run multiple pirate bay mirrors from their caves.

You do need to have a high-powered laser, which is going to set you back about six figures, you have to have the right detector, which is 10 grand or more, the right computers, and of course a $10-to-14 million telescope, which aren’t just laying around

For dual use, I’m particularly partial to the solar fence

The comparison commodity was Gas. Does something that can only be consumed once even have a lifetime?

The underground suggestion was only to counter the argument of space usage.

Using the remaining 99% of the cost to bury batteries underground would seem reasonable.

electricity still costs 0.30€/kWh average because of fossil fuel energy lobbies.

This is the price of guaranteed electricity delivered to your doorstep. We can’t get rid of gas fired power stations and kms of electricity grid network yet.

At least those items you only need to buy once.

McDonald’s is normal.

Eating it sitting facing each other on a private jet is not normal.

Yes. Except for the last 1/4.

You only get money if you do what the lobbyists (not the voters) want.

What is the incentive for the democratic party to ever chase votes rather than money?

Academic research is the standard that should be aimed for. References and no opinions.

In this case the job of these people is clearly to perform damage limitation for the WEF

This is why fact checks are bullshit. Reuters admits that

a WEF social media video from 2016 that stated eight predictions about the world in 2030, including: “You’ll own nothing. And you’ll be happy. What you want you’ll rent, and it’ll be delivered by drone.”

Now to make the statement false they bring in a strawman “Stated goal” condition and prove that particular part to be false, then claim that makes the whole thing false.

Such bullshit.

I vote John von Neumann for tech savant.
