It's going into the oceans, just so the combination of pH fuckery and increased warming turns the world's oceans into an tepid acidic brine.

They ban videos showing someone screwing on/off a silencer these days.....it didn't used to be this strict....
Actually, the warning was first sounded the warning was Svante Arrhenius in 1896, when he determined the UV absorption properties of CO2 and came to the pretty fucking obvious conclusion, based on chemistry and thermodynamics, that if you increase CO2 concentrations in the atmosphere, you will inevitably, as a basic function of physics, increase energy absorption.
So we can add chemistry to the list of things you're deliberately ignorant of.
Fuck, is stupidity and willful ignorance now viewed as a virtue? Or is it just sociopathy?
Yeah, because "Al Gore" is a scientist.
... right? Maybe you should see what "the Science" is....
You are correct sir!!
I do believe the title of "the Science" has been claimed by one Mr. Faucci....
If I had a rubber for slashdot I could fix this.
In American slang, "rubber" commonly refers to a condom. It's an informal term for a contraceptive device.
Yup...I was confused at him replying he wanted to fuck it safely.....
At this point, I still have no idea what he's trying to say here.....
Look at what recently occured both in Spain and in Louisiana, despite certainly some healthy effort (and planning one would hope) to keep the grid in those areas running fine under difficult conditions.
Not sure what you mean about Louisiana...?
I mean, we've not nothing like Spain hit us....
A few years ago, I believe it was Hurricane Ida that hit and knocked down all transmission lines into the greater New Orleans area....power was out there about a month, but that's Hurricane damage....catastrophic damage to an area which you expect to lose power for a bit.
Are you referring to that or something else which I don't know about.....we've not had anything hit similar to Spain.
I confess, AC, I don't even know who voted their comment up.
I did note the 'increasingly' bit in the summary. That's because, as you know, this isn't new. Malicious actors have been doing this for a long time. They use these IPs for things like spamming, DDoS attacks, hiding traditional hacking at scale, and things like that.
They're just doing this more often because finding reliable hosts to provide them with compromised addresses. Then again, those hosts were already using hacked residential IP addresses.
And, yes, it's more difficult these days. I've been trying to find a reputable company (at a reasonable price) to just do a simple DDoS for me.
No, not for anything illegal. I just want to test some of my own infrastructure. It has gone through a DDoS attack a couple of times and has been just fine. But, those were short-lived (under an hour) and not very impressive as far as the numbers go. I'd like to find the breaking point so that I can work on that.
