And the bees are back, too.

Catastrophe averted!

Gotta pay to view the article…….sounds very promising hopefully.

I want to be a bee keeper, retired old people jobs lol

I normally wouldn't link to WaPo, paywall plus they rarely report news that goes against the "narrative". Here is a right-leaning summary if you're interested. Beware the coming Alpacalypse!

 

I would like to know why the moderators (or a moderator) memory-holed @cmartinez's post regarding bird flu & eggs, and my reply.

Yes, I replied that it was too far off topic for this thread, but I don't like their habit arbitrarily (and, capriciously!) removing posts without explanation, especially in my threads.

If I wish a post to be deleted from one of my threads (which is almost never the case), I'll report it and make the request, thank you very much.

 

I also don't see the point in trying to moderate an off-topic thread as tightly as a formal AAC themed thread would be. I would've thought that the main reason for there being an off-topic forum is to be able have more relaxed conversations about topics unrelated to AAC's main mission.

Also, I see some inconsistencies in moderation practices between threads.

If the moderation team feels this sort of observations don't belong here, please let me know and I'll be glad to participate in the appropriate place.

The person that made that post (which was NOT cmartinez) requested that it be moved to the thread that they had meant to post it to.

If you feel that honoring such requests is arbitrary and capricious, that's on you.

Your response to that post was removed because it was no longer relevant or had any context -- and you were notified of that.

@cmartinez, is this true?

@WBahn, I was notified a post of mine was deleted, but not which one or why.

This happens often, and is frustrating.

Edit: now the notification says it was moved. I swear it didn't say that before. Maybe I'm just as insane as you all think I am.

I can't recall the specific case you've mentioned. But there have been times (very few, as a matter of fact) in which my posts have been deleted (or moved) without me receiving any sort of notification.

The system should automatically provide a notification when one of your posts is deleted or moved. If it fails to do that, then that is a system issue that we have no control over. There are, however, a few different ways that an action can be taken (i.e., initiated) and it is quite possible that some of them produce the automatic notification and some don't. Again, if this is the case, it is something that we have no control over.

Adding an explanation to a notification is an option available to the mod/admin that takes the action (and it requires additional steps and is often not done). Once the action is taken, there is no mechanism to go back and either add a new one or edit the one that was sent.

 

From LinkedIn:

"The largest and heaviest structure ever moved by man.
Troll-A Platform: More than 480 meters high are taken to the sea before their legs sink to the bottom of the ocean.

Kvaerner is responsible for one of the largest and most complex engineering projects in history, called "Troll A."

The Troll A platform is an offshore natural gas platform in the Troll gas field off the west coast of Norway.

The tallest structure ever moved by man relative to the earth. It has a gravitational structure (GBS), with a concrete substructure of 376 m.

The total height from the seabed to the tip of the flare is 472 m, almost half a kilometer. The Troll A weighs 683,600 tons; 1.2 million tons with ballast.

This makes Troll A not only the tallest GBS platform in the world, but also the current holder of the title of "the largest object ever created and powered by man."

I've changed my mind on AGW.

We must do everything possible, at any and all costs, to fix this.

 

The devastation is just heart-breaking. We must do something!

Washington Post: Internet data centers are fueling drive to old power source: Coal

CHARLES TOWN, W.Va. — A helicopter hovers over the Gee family farm, the noisy rattle echoing inside their home in this rural part of West Virginia. It’s holding surveyors who are eyeing space for yet another power line next to the property — a line that will take electricity generated from coal plants in the state to address a drain on power driven by the world’s internet hub in Northern Virginia 35 miles away.

There, massive data centers with computers processing nearly 70 percent of global digital traffic are gobbling up electricity at a rate officials overseeing the power grid say is unsustainable unless two things happen: Several hundred miles of new transmission lines must be built, slicing through neighborhoods and farms in Virginia and three neighboring states. And antiquated coal-powered electricity plants that had been scheduled to go offline will need to keep running to fuel the increasing need for more power, undermining clean energy goals.

 

I wrote this here in 2015:

Here is what I know about CO2: It has a primary absorption peak at about 4.3 microns (IIRC). At this wavelength, 100% of IR radiation is absorbed by atmospheric CO2 within about a 6 inch optical path length. Any additional atmospheric CO2 will not absorb additional IR at this wavelength, because there is no more energy to be absorbed. There are other peaks, as well, and these are fully absorbed within a 10 meter optical path length at current conditions.

Some new Science® backs me up:

https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2666496823000456

For a sufficiently large value of m, which can be achieved by increasing the concentration of the absorbing substance, the intensity of radiation becomes negligibly small. Further increasing the concentration of the gas does not contribute anything because the radiation under consideration is practically not being examined. This condition is referred to as the saturation of the absorbing substance.

 

The Ultimate Infinite Energy has finally been found.

You can shut down the oil now.

I need to smoke some of that ultimate infinite energy on the Moon.

 

To those who believe the world is going to end unless we cease the use of fossil fuels, say your prayers and get your affairs in order.

You have been fooled, and your money has been stolen. There is no Energy Transition.

Here's a bit about Bryce, the owner of the website you linked to:

No. They should go bankrupt from failure to profit on wind and solar as their shareholders desert them.

The fewer means there are to achieve destructive ends, the better.

 

When unicorn farts meet reality...

Yo, CAGW warriors: even if you're right, you're failing. Co2 emissions will never be capped, and will never be reduced.

All your doing is making life harder for the average guy, murdering some of them, and enriching the grifters.
