  1. The state of Texas subsidizes their operations, and pays them whenever the cost of electricity is too high for them to profit (this is when they are paid to shut down for energy demand). Otherwise, they tend to seek the areas with weakest zoning laws and cheapest power. Definitely a shot in the dark, but 500W at the wall for total system power with a 100% utlized 1080 doesn't feel off. But you're exactly right on the required energy per coin and transaction is definitionally going to continue to increase exponentially
  2. This is not fucking happening. You have heard it repeated so many times that you believe it must be true, otherwise many people would not be saying it. Post some actual citations to your claims if you want to try to argue that your apparent single biggest issue is even a real problem.
  3. or better yet, "a democrat like Tulsi Gabbard...."
  4. PEX is great and extremely durable, there's some good freeze tests on YouTube
  5. Unfortunately, the president believes he does not need the consent of the governed. He (thinks he) decides the law for all agencies under him, including the armed forces. Gonna be interesting to see how things go if all parties stay on their current course and heading
  6. This thread got started when the mods let one of the "hooray the government is shooting protesters" threads get out of hand during the 2020 summer and fall of love. Jimmy didn't make this thread or title - Immamac did lol. The mods memory holed a bunch of abhorrent shit in the DT thread because it would have been extremely embarrassing for some of the posters to keep up, and moved a bunch of posts complaing about the mods into this new thread
  7. That's a pretty generous interpretation lol, there's not alot of arguing about policy going on - it's trying to get TB91 to accept the reality of what's happening right now and the consequences of his vote. Trans policy, as always, is the only thing this kinda person is capable of bringing up. He's not even replying to other prompts or questions.
  8. there's a shocking number of property owners and managers that I see with active sprinklers yearround maintaining swamps, even after they've drowned all their St. Augustine
  9. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cognitive_dissonance
  10. my guy you need to get off of facebook and fox news. This shit is not happening in the school nurses' office or to the scope and scale you imply. You are spouting goebbels-levels of propaganda that's disassociated with reality right now.
  11. Der Sturmabteilungen, ja? Once trump has his official paramilitary force that's only answerable to him and him alone, we will be in the "reign of terror" section of the holocaust memorial
  12. he didn't salute their fucking generals and gush about how he was in love with their totalitarian leadership https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/we-fell-in-love-trump-and-kim-shower-praise-stroke-egos-on-path-to-nuclear-negotiations/2019/02/24/46875188-3777-11e9-854a-7a14d7fec96a_story.html
  13. This represents the streetfighting phase of the fascist takeover. Visiting the National Holocaust Meuseum and Memorial page on hitler's rise to power is rather chilling when you realize how similar it is to today: Just to really hammer home how similar trump and hilter's rhetoric is, lets update those bullet points for current trump talking points: During election campaigns, Donald Trump won followers by playing on people's hopes. He promised to fix the economy and put people back to work (no change needed there) return America to the status of a great and RESPECTED world power again Make claims on new territories based on century-old misinterpretations of history (Panama Canal, Greenland) create a strong authoritarian executive office ("I will be a dictator on day one") May be some interesting reading and a small history lesson for @Texasborn91
  14. Your vote indicates that you believe she should not have the freedom and liberty to live in the way she wishes to. Or any other trans person. This animus of hate was enough for you to overlook everything else about trump and pull the lever for this guy
  15. Your vote says differently. Your vote says you think Troph is subhuman. Be honest with yourself about what you fucking voted for. Christ, talking to you is like a scene out of Man in the High Castle.
  16. swimming pool noodles work great too to cover a faucet if they're the kind with the hole down the middle
  17. uhhhhhhhhhhh it's already happened once before? https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/politics-news/after-night-significant-damage-d-c-mayor-bowser-imposes-earlier-n1221126 The protesters had expected to have until a 7 p.m. curfew to voice their criticism, but police moved on them almost a half-hour before that. Washington Mayor Muriel Bowser had announced the 7 p.m. curfew earlier Monday, but it was clear shortly after 6 p.m. that authorities were getting ready for imminent conflict. Attorney General William Barr walked purposefully between lines formed by U.S. Park Police, National Guard members and law enforcement officers from various federal agencies. The officers put on gas masks, raised shields and moved forward until they were face to face with protesters. Then they backed off a little, and police rushed in from the east side of the street, firing rubber bullets, pepper spray, tear gas and flash-bang grenades into the crowd.
  18. Well you voted for a fascist that borrows rhetoric and language from hitler's most famous speeches and writings. You know, immigrants "poisoning the blood of our country" type of shit? If you vote for a fascist that's quoting hitler, you're gonna get called a fascist and probably a nazi.
  19. protip - older bulb-style christmas lights are decent for this, or really any string light that isn't LED-based
  20. Lol you should watch Andor. A New Hope is about 5 years after this conversation and scene happens in the show between a bunch of feckless senators.
  21. You're awfully blase about the president ignoring acts passed by both chambers and signed by the president. trumpo and elmo are illegally halting payment on programs that are THE LAW OF THE LAND. Pull your head out of your ass, and wake up and smell the ashes.
  22. I'd imagine your rig was pulling around 500W total at the wall, maybe 600W, but most mining setups under volt their cards. So your electric usage per day was around 500watts * 24 hours, or 12,000 W/hr of electricity used per day. Utilities meter in kilowatt-hours, so 12KW/hrs per day Multiply that by 365 days in a year, and again by 3 years mining, and you end up with 13,140KWhr of electricity used to mine $2099 in BTC. Not sure what your utility rate is, but 13.14 megawatt-hours consumed is a decent spitball estimate of your angry pixie consumption over the 3 year span edit: at current average houston utility rates of $0.13/KWhr that would be just over $1700 in electricity, so you would've made around $400 from the mining over 3 years once you factor out electricity costs
  23. Bump. Who would have guessed that the Melania, Argentina, and Enron cryptos were all launched by the same guy! And the trump coin rubes got RINSED by the same group too lolololol Good face eating acting by the leopards.
  24. But seriously, where are all the cryptomaxis? Aren't y'all all drowning in fat gainz? Aren't you excited to get blockchain just like Argentina did???? Haha it is kind of amazing that there's a linkage between $MELANIA, $LIBRA, and $ENRON - they're were all launched by the same dude! He even exploited the useful idiots to skim some profits for himself. Absolutely incredible face eating by this leopard
  25. Just to remind everyone: here is Zelensky presenting a battle flag to Congress in December 2022. I am so fucking ashamed of what our nation is doing to those brave people defending freedom and liberty. Now her brave defenders who look to see if their flag still waves despite the bombs bursting in air and the rockets red glare, those brave people see US as their enemy. https://www.nytimes.com/2025/02/19/world/europe/ukrainians-trump-voices.html?unlocked_article_code=1.yU4.DJAu.cK2bYuF-6c0T
