So even if you’re working strictly from the bible, how the hell do you get 4000 years?

You can't. The "Young Earth" people are morons.

Even the original wording could be read as eon instead of day.

Most people don't know that the Hebrew word "yom" (day) can be and is used to denote wildly different lengths of time.

If anyone is interested you can read a fine destruction of the stupid "Young Earth" argument at the link I provided.

The "Young Earth" people, both Christian and Jew, are trying to shoe horn something into the Bible that doesn't fit and doesn't need to exist. It's nothing more than a desperate attempt to hold onto an old, wrong headed, and man-made theory.

I'm not aware of any "Enlightenment Narrative" saying that our society is organized around Science and the fact that civilization is organized around capital, i.e. resources, is as obvious as the sun at high noon.

This isn't going to change until and unless we truly reach "Fully Automated Luxury Gay Space Communism" levels of post-scarcity. Don't hold your breath 'cuz it ain't happening anytime soon.

Odds are good it’s using facebook or some other cancer to perform this evil.

You really need to read the entire article. Turning off your WiFi and deleting Facebook isn't going to fix this.

ARM is mad because Qualcomm bought Nuvia (which had their own ARM license) and then started using Nuvia's designs. ARM says that Qualcomm needs to renegotiate the license in order to use those designs.

Normally ARM and Qualcomm would handle this fairly smoothly, the reason its not happening this time is because ARM and Qualcomm both have growth plans that are increasingly making them direct competitors.

Yes, absolutely related. This fight started because Qualcomm bought Nuvia and started using their designs (and their ARM license for those designs). This recent escalation is almost certainly because Qualcomm is about to bring Oryon, which was designed by Nuvia, to smartphones.

That's a big part of what's going on. ARM is trying to move into Qualcomm's traditional business while Qualcomm is trying to move in ARM's traditional business.

"Under Chief Executive Officer Rene Haas, Arm has shifted to offering more complete designs — ones that companies can take directly to contract manufacturers. Haas believes that his company, still majority owned by Japan’s SoftBank Group Corp., should be rewarded more for the engineering work it does. That shift encroaches on the business of Arm’s traditional customers, like Qualcomm, who use Arm’s technology in their own final chip designs.

Meanwhile, under CEO Cristiano Amon, Qualcomm is moving away from using Arm designs and is prioritizing its own work, something that potentially makes it a less lucrative customer for Arm. He’s also expanding into new areas, most notably computing, where Arm is making its own push. But the two companies’ technologies remain intertwined, and Qualcomm isn’t yet in a position to make a clean break from Arm."

Youre saying this lottery is fully non partisan and is open to all voters equally?

I'm not the person you were talking too but the answer to your question is no and that's actually a GOOD thing because in order to get the "lottery ticket" you don't have to vote. All you have to do is be a registered voter and sign the petition, that's it and that's all.

Elon himself “You can be from any or no political party and you don’t even have to vote in order to sign the petition.”

The scheme is still scummy and looks bad, I won't argue that.

There's absolutely nothing wrong with doing that and Elon himself said it was fine.

the part where CC results in more CO2 output for all the energy it needs is usually the first thing mentioned.

If you're doing CC from air then yes but if you are using something like Exxon's CFZ technology then maybe not. CFZ is used on the production side to remove the "sour" stuff (like CO2) from natural gas before its burned.

BTW ExxonMobile built that CFZ plant in LaBarge, Wyoming and it's been operating for over a decade and its now being expanded.

I guess this is why Italy keeps getting cozy with China...they need China's internet blocking expertise.

I figured that the Nebraska Supreme Court would rule like this and I'm glad to see that they did. I'm also happy that they extended the registration deadline to 10/25 so that people can still vote.
