I’m familiar with the BBC, but I don’t know about their Russian service. Is it the same coverage, or an independent branch? I’ve seen articles by the investigator I think, but same thing, is this their Russian branch? I’ve never heard of the first one.

So which ones are those two? I’m not familiar with them.

That’s really trippy! Great work

Meaning one’s that didn’t agree with Russia’s official stance, or ones claiming to be independent but still funded by Russia? Those would be very different things.

We need ranked choice voting so people can vote for who they actually want without throwing away they vote. The problem is opposing ranked choice voting is one of very few issues both parties agree on, since it hurts both of them.

You’re saying it was not targeted at combatants, or that there was a lot of collateral damage?

Almost all of these emissions in the headline are from the businesses they own shares in. So this is saying business emissions, just in a non-intuitive roundabout way.

You could assign company emissions to the consumers, the employees, or the owners. Without any one of those the company wouldn’t emit. I just wanted to make it clear that this study assigns it to the owners.

If you don’t include investment emissions, they’d emit more in 22 days than the average person does in their life.

Here’s the actual study

This number is almost entirely investment emissions, how much the companies they own emit.

Oxfam’s analysis found that investment emissions are the most significant part of a billionaire’s carbon footprint. The average investment emissions of 50 of the world’s richest billionaires were around 2.6 million tonnes of CO2 equivalents (CO2e) each. That is around 340 times their emissions from private jets and superyachts combined. Each billionaire’s investment emissions are equivalent to almost 400,000 years of consumption emissions by the average person, or 2.6 million years of consumption emissions by someone in the poorest 50% of the world.44

I guess C4 is a WMD in Nashville? With that title I thought he was using nerve gas or a dirty bomb or something.

It’s kinda crazy that another county just joined the war on the ground for Russia and there hasn’t been a huge response. I hope Ukraine’s allies can really step up the support, maybe even responding in kind by sending engineering forces.

Their recent launches have been using field Russia more commonly uses, so they might be getting Russian engines.

I thought it was taking about Boeing Defense, Space and security, which also wouldn’t really make sense.

The former might not be true either. China has 1.7M listed, but if you include 1M to 3M in forced vocational education and training centers, the count would be higher than the 1.8M in the US. The rate would still be lower though.

Then say the country with the latest prison population, not the highest incarceration rate, since the latter just isn’t true.

Is OP from El Salvador? Wikipedia is showing the top five are El Salvador, Cuba, Rwanda, Turkmenistan, the US in that order.

I thought it was pretty fun to play around with making limericks and rap battles with friends, but I haven’t found a particularly usefull use case for LLMs.

Okay, that’s resistive heating. So it’ll be the same efficiency as a oil heater or any space heater. So heating less space with it will save money.
