Sufficiently motivated reasoning is indistinguishable from insanity

“No matter how remote it may be”

These people practically did everything in their power to make such an alliance a reality.

This won’t be an attritional war in terms of bodies tho. A land invasion of US troops is unlikely. Killing those troops instead instills fear in troops and makes the US public recoil.

The ongoing deployment includes the stationing of dozens of aircraft including F‑15 strike fighters, F‑35 stealth fighters, Boeing EA‑18G Growler electronic‑warfare aircraft, and A‑10C ground‑attack aircraft at a military airbase in Jordan—despite the Jordanian government’s recent insistence that its territory would not be used as a base to attack Iran.

Frankly, the Iranian military should have done something about the US vassals first. Idk what, I’m not a general. An attack? Economic pressure? But like seriously, something gotta be done about these collaborating mfs because without them, the US is severely restrained in their fighting strength against Iran.

It’s not even a matter of belligerence, since the zionists are already the aggressors.

Yeah I suppose it is better to have made an actual argument instead of just “owning” the commenter, and you are correct, it is not merely an attempted genocide, which would be something like a guy in the government trying to organise a genocide but failing to organise and accomplish anything.

Attempted genocide

Screw my previous comment.

As FunkyStuff says, It is a genocide unquestionably. Millions of lives have been lost around the world due to US sabotage warfare (which the libs love to call “sanctions”) that uses the US hegemony power to strangle countries by any means necessary, all for the benefit of a fascist political agenda.

Cuba has received some of the harshest of the hybrid warfare from America. The fact that you are equivocating about the warfare tactics of a fascist society reflects poorly on you, no different from “but actually”-ing the actions of nazi Germany in the middle of WW2 (while also being factually wrong about your points).

The fact that Cuba can survive and thrive despite the genocide is a testament to their resilience. But a state, and a nation are not one entity. All the extra lives that could have been saved had Cuba been allowed to develop under normal external conditions do not come back to life because the population managed to grow.

Yeah but the miners will not all quit all of a sudden. If many quit but there are still enough left, the remainder will enjoy higher profits since they’ll crack more blocks (iirc miners compete for blocks)

In traditional markets, I’m denied entry because I don’t have a prescription my doctor refuses to give to me. So idk what the benefit of traditional markets is supposed to be to anyone in the same situation.

And once you find a good seller, you can stick to them and spread the word. Obviously there are risks of scams and fake product, but this is the fault of the government barriers to traditional markets rather cryptocurrencies.

Hell, even if it wasn’t the government’s fault, it would be nature of black markets, rather than crypto currencies (the latter which is just a tool).

People on this post act if crime and black markets were invented by the schmeing Mr. John Bitcoin or something.

Bitcoin has an inbuilt mechanism to make it exponentially harder to mine. That means the labor value to mine it will keep growing and that sets an ever increasing minimum price floor on the currency.

Is this a sensible way of making a currency? Hell no. Does this mean that bitcoin invesment as an asset will continue to endure for more years? Yes.

The only thing that could feasibly crash the bitcoin market is if most bitcoin users and miners move to a more sensible crypto that is designed for transactions and not investment.

most pills sold on the dark web are not genuine pharmaceuticals

This appears to be a sweeping statement that would be very hard to confirm or deny.

The danger is what’s inside

Yeah this is what you have to deal with when governments prioritise profits over the people’s health. It’s just a matter of risk management.

1. This is a great and important use case. Fuck sanctions
2. As yes, fuck everyone (like me) that isn’t allowed to get medicine from above board channels (this 1000 times more common than silly things like paying for hitmen or organs. If you are buying hitmen or organs on the Internet 99% of the time it is fake)

Well the “multiple thin wires” technique (litz wire) is more complicated than just having multiple thin wires (you need to braid them in a particular pattern because the magnetic fields that flow through the wires act on each other as well). But it is absolutely used for mitigating the skin effect as well.

Power lines inside residential homes are an exception because the frequency isn’t high. The skin effect for copper at that point is about 8.41 mm.

Then consider this wire gague chart

Even the thickest wires for carrying 300 amps has a radius less than 6 mm (you can also see that the rated frequency is 125 hz).

If you want to calculate the skin depth, use the formula , where f is the frequency, p is the resistivity (copper - 16.78 nano Ohms), u is the permeability (copper - 1.256 micro Henry/meter).

OP should just find a better audio player or figure out how to enable loudness normalization.

Yeah I figured it was an issue with my software.

The west is literally commiting a genocide. They are mass disappearing people into the afterlife. Mind boggling that in 2025 we still have incredulous libs who believe in western exceptionalism.

I’m stupid. I completely forgot that the worlders have enforced an authoritarian tankie censorship regime 😔

From a basic labor theory of value perspective, bitcoin requires labor to produce because mining it requires massive amounts of compute power. This computer power is supplied using GPUs and electricity, both of which require labor to produce.

If you use this calculator, and enter the values 67 TH/s (tera hashes per second, the rate at which you are mining), 2680 watts for electricity consumption rate, and 5 cents per kilo watt hour as prices, you will see

4.25 USD revenue per day 3.22 USD cost per day Profit rate = 32.0%

To make the values of the the hash rate and energy consumption rate realistic, I consulted the specs of the machine antminer S17, which is aparantly a machine used in the bitcoin mining world (I ain’t into crypto mining). The cost of electricty comes from Kazakhstan, which has cheap electricty and substantial mining operations.

So basically, at the current price of bitcoin can support a gross profit rate of 32% for the people who produce bitcoin, assuming you keep all the profit (no taxes, interest, rent), have no employees or maintainable costs. This is the price currently settled at based on the technological conditions and level of competition.

It is nothing too crazy of a price, and the rapid growth of price in bitcoin is due to how the currency was designed. Basically, once a certain number of bitcoin have been mined, the bitcoin generation rate per mined block halves. This forces an exponential rise in the difficulty of mining bitcoin, and therefore an exponential rise in its price.

Most probably, if bitcoin was designed to have a constant difficulty of producing, its price wouldn’t have increased at all.

I’ll bite. This is a genuinely new take I haven’t seen before, despite 3 years of the war. Would you mind explaining how exactly Russia is an American minion?

Biased, politicised science is real science. Not the platonic ideal you have in your head.

That didn’t feel like science so much as politics and I get why some would be against that.

Respectfully, this is a weak sauce excuse, and a completely unscientific attitude. Scientists do not establish arbitrary barriers between different fields.

These kinds of statements 99% of the time come from people who don’t even do science, and whose understanding of science consists of “take down data points, analyse data points, be neutral” (paraphrasing your comment).

In reality, scientific names are usually given to honor specific people. The idea that the community just gives names to people who discovered things is simply ignorant of history. There are literally cases of people purchasing name recognition. There are also cases of people being honored by having their name on a phenomena they didn’t even discover, or a unit they did not create (typical for units, which are standardised by committees and not named after people in the standardisation committee)

1. Rainy, damp, cloudy, windy weather is peak weather and beats a “nice sunny day” 80% of the time.

2. Ice cream is winter food and not summer food because of how fatty it is. Popsicles are summer food and not so appealing in the winter.

3. All countries should be making a 100% effort towards eliminating all meat (except that produced by subsistence farmers and the like) in their diets for the sake of the climate. Poverty is not an excuse because vegetarian diets use many many times less resources (which is why wealthy countries eat much more meat).

4. Large wealthy countries should provide free vitamin supplements worldwide to reduce diseases.
