In late October 2021, Elon Musk was challenged to end world hunger by David Beasley, the director of the UN’s World Food Programme. Beasley claimed that a small portion of Musk’s wealth could solve world hunger, and Musk responded on Twitter that he would sell Tesla stock to do so, provided the UN could provide a detailed, transparent accounting of how the $6 billion would be spent. The WFP then released a plan, but Musk did not donate the money.

Because it’s more likely that he got lucky once and his short position was strong enough that he could keep paying the premiums than it is that he is some super genius who knew something noone else knew

Would be nice, I want to buy some ETFs at a discount

CBT?

Coffee But Tasty?

Scutoid these nuts, lmao

Worrying about shit like that is borderline orthorexia, I guess I also shouldn’t add spinach to my smoothie because oxalates

How? Are you a weirdo keto person?

Potato and cauliflower are both higher in potassium btw

Potato is a real superfood

I am not a moron lol, I add the banana to my smoothie as a sweetener and to make it creamy, I add the spinach leaves, chia seeds, flax seeds and walnuts for health, along with a bunch of protein

There is already a gene modified cavendish that is resistant to the fungi, but it’s not legal in the EU so it’s not being used yet

One bad thing: it’s all just clones so now it’s extremely vulnerable to one kind of fungus, much like the gros michel banana it faces near extinction

Fun fact, in some countries like mine, downloading is completely legal, it’s the uploading back or seeding that’s illegal.

Red hat vs red coat fascists

Regenerative braking is not worth it on bikes… it’s worth it on cars because you are slowing down over one and a half tons of weight and going much faster so there is serious amount of energy to be recovered

That’s mostly because the west has become a bad place to build things, bike-shedding and a general loss of nuclear building expertise lost due to successful campaigning against nuclear by the fossil fuel industry.

We could be scaling up nuclear right now to help the goals for 2050 to be reached and then coast for a while as renewables pickup pace and fusion is finally cracked.

But no only thing people care about is immediate cost.

Yes renewables are cheaper per kw at the moment but they are also putting a lot of strain on the grid that’s not accounted for that’s expensive to upgrade, they are also not scaling up fast enough, which means there will be added cost to climate change.

Vs we could build nuclear reactors at a loss and bring on serious gigawatts of clean energy in a decade that would provide a stable baseline.

if you plan on batteries that requires lots of precious metals we will need elsewhere to aid in the transition to electric power.

Umm, what about sodium-ion that are now getting put into production?

Is it not just the misinterpretation of the fact that the US wanted to end the war quicker to prevent sending more soldiers into a meatgrinder?

You can certainly call that “necessary” to prevent further deaths of US soldiers.

Isn’t acceleration just a sense of balance? Like you feel acceleration because the whatever fluid moves in your ears due to acceleration which is the same as balance.

What about the BBc documentary with the spaghetti trees?

Now it will be for the US fascists instead of chinese fascists, Nazis were german.
