Re: Climate Change
Garbage? LOL. As I like to tell the illustrious Comrade Pilgrim, facts are facts. To some, maybe they see them as "garbage". But they're still facts.

Re: Climate Change
Surprised nobody has brought up crypto mining and the energy drain that many of them require, BTC and others; I don't have any hard statistics on that only anecdotal evidence, but seems ironic that for one of the most avant-guard of technologies, an unintended consequence is its huge power suck and resultant pollution.

I just love POW stickers on the bumpers of massive sub 15mpg trucks on Vail Pass hauling sleds.

And I’m not your comrade, in fun or otherwise.
I’ll hook you up with my climate change denying, dingleberry brother who is also a drumpf lickspittle.
Look lickspittle up if you’re not clear on where I stand.

Re: Climate Change
Well, Comrade, since it has obviously escaped your esteemed mind, that descriptive term is more about your somewhat radical political viewpoints expressed on this site, relative to my own. The use of the non-humorous descriptor Comrade is an attempt to tie you to the USSR, politically. No, you are correct: you are not my friend.highpilgrim wrote: ↑Mon Jun 14, 2021 9:00 pm And I’m not your comrade, in fun or otherwise.

Oh, and I never denied the climate is changing. More pesky facts.
However, I do find it sad you regard your own brother in such a way as you do a stranger on this forum, and do so publicly.
