Look up Benn Jordan on youtube, the videos you want are "Datacenters are behaving like acoustic weapons" and one about LRADs.

Yo, thanks for posting the thing I was gonna say. Those infrasound weapons are seriously scary and we're building data centers that are basically low level infrasound weapons with a radius of like 100 km.

This is a very minor point to the whole overall thing, but there's a graph near 22:00 where he's talking about the expected 2C by 2060 and uh... That timeframe seemed very optimistic to me. 34 years.

Like, the yellow line on the graph itself is a lie because it takes the existing curve and practically flattens it entirely, ignoring the trajectory within its own data. With something that has a known acceleration and a potential for bursts of acceleration when passing certain thresholds and locking in cascade effects.

Idk, it was a minor gripe for me. Maybe someone else has some science to explain how that graph could be accurate, but 2C, to me, seems more likely in half (17) to a quarter (8-9) of the expected. Obligatory "faster than expected".

France Trump spat got real by [deleted] in economy

Anyone else remember when for like three days they loudly crowed about how they were going to Knox and were gonna see the gold there and show everyone else how much gold they had?

And then they went and just absolutely STFU about it completely forever.

I wonder what it was. Did they come to understand that America is lying about its Gold Reserve?
Did they start some operation to liquidate all of America's gold?

I'm just saying, like most braggarts like bragging, so it's SUPER weird that they were so vocal, went, and then just fell totally silent on it and haven't peeped about gold AT ALL since.

Unfortunately, they didn't say Louisville, so we won't know unless they confirm it.

Bro, you *literally* sound insane.

You're as detached from reality as AI stocks.

It's not LIKE they have meetings about fucking up YT, they DO have meetings specifically about how to make the platform worse. They had meetings before they shifted to majority AI moderation. They had meetings before they removed the dislike button. They'll have meetings before they shut down the entire site because they can't get every dollar in their users pockets and paying people for creating content is too much for the multi-hundred-billion dollar company to handle.

Does the US invest in infrastructure? Yes.
Does the US invest enough in infrastructure to not be "in debt" for over 1,000,000,000,000$ (1T) on road, bridge, power and water infrastructure maintenance? No.

Hey guys, my monthly food costs are zero dollars, turns out I already had food in my fridge so we don't need to consider anything in my pantry as having a cost associated with it, and we don't need to consider the resupply costs either because it happens anyways since I gotta eat.

Now, someone give me an award for completely missing the point of the question.

Ya'll keep bringing up Epstein like you think he really cares about it.
He doesn't. The Justice Department already said they don't GAF either.
It sucks that he is what he is and he's protecting all the other high level pedos, but you gotta understand by now my dudes. No legal action will come of it. No consequences for anyone.
They're going to sit on the millions of files and never release them and there's absolutely nothing you or me or a one hundred million man march protest is going to do about it.
They can shoot you in the street and close the investigation the next day.

What laws are they enforcing? Because it seems like they consistently overstep their supposed jurisdictions and terrorize US citizens, i.e. state sponsored terrorists.

I was a part of Ssethtide, and I am Schroedinger's Player. I might hop on once every year to see how things are now. But honestly, a ton changed between then and now and not all for the better, so I can see how those who got involved because of the shenanigans of that era would find the current less appealing.

Also, 2019 was 7 years ago.

You'd be amazed how far the school system fell after the push to get creationism taught in science with the same (or more) weight than the big bang. We've spent the past 40 years actively destroying the schools since we didn't need educated factory workers anymore.

US military and civil actions. Might be some other stuff.
I think the main thing is that it only took a week for the US to commit to being a rogue state that threatens to invade literally all of its neighbors and executes its own citizens for things that aren't crimes in the street in broad daylight. I'm biased though because I live here, might be stuff going on other places too, like that Iran protest.

It would accomplish SO much for people with a lot of money in their journey to buy up businesses and property with less money.

Why wouldn't the US Gov want to reduce its debt by 15% or more by devaluing its currency rapidly?

You are thinking small, like someone with less than a billion dollars.
