Carbohydrates. We can stick a needle in our blood to generate energy for portables.

Are you sure environmental yeast didn’t make its way in there? I’d wager you’d have to bake in the laboratory to prevent other yeast from entering the dough. From the photos it’s on some gingham cloth in someone’s yeasty house.

For what it’s worth, people mined rocks to build the pyramids multiple thousands of years ago. They don’t mine using an army of slaves wielding chisels anymore.

That’s good news!

For what it’s worth you don’t need a mining expert to know that establishing a large scale mining operation will fuck up the local region somewhat.

At the very least, all the demolition and vehicles, fuel, explosives, chemicals.

Shits going to leak into the rivers one way or the other. In addition, they would likely use up a ton of local water supply.

It’s a no-brainer. Maine is not in the middle of some desert.

I don’t think the point of contention is whether it’s recyclable. Primary issue is: what is the local environmental impact of MINING lithium?

For folks who don’t live in Maine it’s a no-brainer: sure, go for it! Bring the USA more domestically produced lithium.

But… mining fucks up entire ecosystems and pollutes water etc… and even if companies can “promise” the operation will be clean, come to implementation they likely walk back on that and the damage is done.

Let’s hope it stays that way. But $1.5B is not a tiny sum and I’m willing to bet the government will bend over backwards to bring a bunch of “jobs” to the area at the expense of all environmental concerns.

Honestly if I can’t trust that a company is delivering a real product or not I’m OUT. That’s a violation of trust. And it’s happened to me multiple times on Amazon—nowhere else.

Sure they can sell more books if open longer, have more resources, etc.

But one thing is for certain: if you buy from a retail store you will actually get the real book, not some cheap fake garbage.

What is IPFS though if not a glimpse of the future? Distributed makes more sense to me and P2P concepts are being heavily researched with all the blockchain hoo-ha!

Do you really mean that?

Well, there again a dangerous label. Communist and “communism” are two different things. Modern communist nations and “The Communist Manifesto” are not the same.

What I was referring to is modern communist nations and their blanket surveillance and content-enforcement of journalism and social networks. One singular content moderation network above all social networks and news organizations.

So, I didn’t literally mean: one book, one news, one social media platform. But if modern communist nations have their fingers all up in every media organization, saying what can and cannot be published, does this not equate to one voice above all else?

A conservative focuses social network is nothing but a singular voice with a political agenda. Able to amplify nonsense at their discretion.

By “conservative” do you mean: one book, one news channel, one social media platform?

I hate terms liberal and conservative they don’t mean anything anymore.

Stop identifying with some label and ask yourself: am I learned? Do I try to understand? Do I empathize? Do I sympathize? Do I produce? Do I consume? Do I consume more than I produce? Do I take action? Do I blame others? Do I litter in the park? Do I take care of myself and others?

If you think about it, communism is all about: one book, one news channel, one social media controlled by the government. How do these “conservatives” who pride themselves patriots think living in a moderated cesspool of misinformation is any better than a government controlled one?

Please don’t forget that these platforms are designed to be addicting.

What you’re suggesting is akin to: “why not smoke occasionally to take the edge off.”

It’s about losing mental focus if you ask me. If you’re an occasional user, your mind is still going to be roped in.

They have an army of scientist who’ve proven these facts already and social media companies exploit us all.

I agree with the idea of establishing deeper connections: but take them offline and have a cup of tea or video chat. There’s simply better options.

Honestly my suggestion is to get rid of all social media. How many hours to master a new skill are wasted away with pointless debates and conversations?

I have been off of social media for years now and I couldn’t go back.

Really, ask yourself if your conversations on social media are yielding something productive to society or if it’s just wasting time.

If you want social, get a group together and meet in person. Go do something.
