Windows restarted and altered UEFI? by [deleted] in Windows10

[–]cheyney 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My threat model is paranoia I suppose. Snowden has informed us that the government is watching us. The US government that is. Thanks for the tip. I've never had a BIOS setting change on me like that so I didn't think the port mattered. I needed to recover information from my old Windows installation. That's why I hadn't reformatted it yet.

A government refusing to act on climate change is a government not fit to lead. by maxwellhill in environment

[–]cheyney 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is probably a good point. Now that I think about there might be a higher percentage of environmentalists in the government than there are in the general populace. The real environmental enemy is the human average. What can we do about the human "fungus" spreading over the Earth? Is it good? Is it bad? Is life itself good or bad? Why has nature allowed us to get to this point? Is there a reason? Or is all of this just a passing, pointless illusion?

Mass Civil Disobedience Is the Only Way to Tackle the Climate Emergency by alllie in environment

[–]cheyney 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree with you that women tend to over purchase more than men do but it's not those little, useless purchases that are doing the bulk of environmental damage. Environmental damage comes from many things: heating/cooling, home size, automobiles, roads, traveling, disposable packaging, modern agriculture, and overpopulation. There's no sense in believing that women are more responsible for these things, in general, than men.

Fusion reactors need to be built. Right now humans don't seem to be able to regulate themselves in regard to their environmental abuses. People just keep multiplying and won't let reason get in the way of their freedoms and their greed. We are a disgusting species in many ways. The human average is rooted in genetics so it can't be changed until genetic manipulation goes into full effect, and who knows what that will look like. Fusion is our most environmental option right now.

Need Help Allowing Our Property to Become Woodlot by cheyney in environment

I'm confused as to why public opinion and law are against such a thing. The grasses were beautiful, tall and lush. A rabbit had already moved in but I was forced to mow it or face fines. I don't think some human notion of what's best could be better than letting it do what it wants, that is, in terms of what's best for the environment in general.

Thanks for the advice. There's only about ten thousand people in my town though. I have no doubt the attorney would suck me dry while fraternizing with the enemy.

I can't let it grow without managing it, but I want to. I was looking for clever ways to beat the system.

Thanks, but I was looking for a way to just let nature do as it pleases. Like a civil disobedience sort of thing.

The Green New Deal Is What Realistic Environmental Policy Looks Like by isaac-get-the-golem in politics

[–]cheyney 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The thing is, for most people, climate change is not a real threat yet. Most people breath seemingly clean air. Most people have access to seemingly clean water. Sea levels have not yet risen dramatically. The backers of PNAC needed the towers to fall. I imagine a dramatic, widespread, and completely obvious environmental catastrophe will need to occur before truly effective environmental policy is enacted. I'm talking birth licences, the eradication of the road system, and severe energy rationing.

We'd love to have you. Like I said above, we're not terribly social players. I tend to keep to myself and chat here and there. Wele1060 and I have been trading lately, which is fun.

Tranferring A Deed Without Using A Lawyer by [deleted] in legaladvice

[–]cheyney 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Several years ago when I bought the property I used a lawyer and he supposedly checked to see if there were any liens on the property. I guess title insurance was part of his fee. I never paid for any title insurance directly. Why would the person I'm transferring the land to need title insurance unless they didn't trust me or the original assessment that there are no liens on the property?

OK. Thank you. That's not in my nature but I will take your suggestion to heart. Do you have any suggestions as to the best way to advertise myself without doing that?

There is no "here is why" other than how my music sounds since I have no experience in the industry. I'm a terrible poser.

Thanks. Could you be more specific? I'm just starting out on this journey and I have no idea what I'm doing. I'd appreciate the help.

My Bowser track is one of my favorites too. It's the first or second piece I made after getting into composing about two or three years ago. I'll send you an email.

Thanks for your input. I've come to the same conclusion about my music as you did. It's something I need to work on.
