Iran is far better equipped to repel an invasion than Cuba.

Cuba doesn't have the people, infrastructure, preparation time, mountains, electricity, productive capacity, or weapons that Iran does.

Assuming the US would fail in trying to take Cuba is a bad assumption.

China is the world's factory. They produce the goods consumed by every other country on these charts.

The question becomes: given a country's usage of fossil fuels, what do they have to show for it? Western nations burn coal to run LLMs; China is burning coal to build eliminate poverty and produce 30% of the entire world's goods.

Also keep in mind, energy usage has a history. Its not fair to take a snapshot of 2026's energy splits and condemn China, given how western nations just spent the last 200 years destroying the planet.

Are you allowed to start dropping N bombs if you meet a MAGA person of color?

Are you allowed to be ableist if you meet a wheelchair-bound MAGA?

So, you've got zero problem with Trump voters on moral grounds, correct?

How could one possibly twist themselves into believing that a political act can somehow exist outside the realm of ethics and morality? Politics is ethics. Ethics are political. Why are you you trying to decouple these? Oh wait.... its because yall will do whatever mental gymnastics are needed to justify voting for a genocidal, former cop.

These stats capture 1 year of torrenting on a TrueNas scale machine I built as soon as fiber showed up on my street. It was my first ever proper rack mount server. I use this machine primarily for torrenting and jellyfin transcoding via an RTX 2080. The plan is to soon set it up for navidrome. Machine sits around 230 watts. Feel free to offer TrueNas scale tips.

 

Norway’s sovereign wealth fund will exclude U.S. machinery manufacturer Caterpillar and five Israeli banks from its equity portfolio over what it called an “unacceptable risk” that the firms contribute to rights violations. The ethics committee for Norges Bank Investment Management found that the former produced bulldozers that were being used in the “unlawful destruction of Palestinian property,” while the banks had provided financial services necessary for the construction of Israeli settlements in the West Bank. Facing political and public scrutiny, NBIM has said it will not withdraw from all its investments in Israeli firms but review its portfolio to ensure it complies with its ethics mandate.
