I’m familiar with the BBC, but I don’t know about their Russian service. Is it the same coverage, or an independent branch? I’ve seen articles by the investigator I think, but same thing, is this their Russian branch? I’ve never heard of the first one.

So which ones are those two? I’m not familiar with them.

Meaning one’s that didn’t agree with Russia’s official stance, or ones claiming to be independent but still funded by Russia? Those would be very different things.

You’re saying it was not targeted at combatants, or that there was a lot of collateral damage?

Almost all of these emissions in the headline are from the businesses they own shares in. So this is saying business emissions, just in a non-intuitive roundabout way.

You could assign company emissions to the consumers, the employees, or the owners. Without any one of those the company wouldn’t emit. I just wanted to make it clear that this study assigns it to the owners.

If you don’t include investment emissions, they’d emit more in 22 days than the average person does in their life.

Here’s the actual study

This number is almost entirely investment emissions, how much the companies they own emit.

Oxfam’s analysis found that investment emissions are the most significant part of a billionaire’s carbon footprint. The average investment emissions of 50 of the world’s richest billionaires were around 2.6 million tonnes of CO2 equivalents (CO2e) each. That is around 340 times their emissions from private jets and superyachts combined. Each billionaire’s investment emissions are equivalent to almost 400,000 years of consumption emissions by the average person, or 2.6 million years of consumption emissions by someone in the poorest 50% of the world.44

I guess C4 is a WMD in Nashville? With that title I thought he was using nerve gas or a dirty bomb or something.

It’s kinda crazy that another county just joined the war on the ground for Russia and there hasn’t been a huge response. I hope Ukraine’s allies can really step up the support, maybe even responding in kind by sending engineering forces.

Their recent launches have been using field Russia more commonly uses, so they might be getting Russian engines.

I thought it was taking about Boeing Defense, Space and security, which also wouldn’t really make sense.

Planter doesn’t work very well, they shrivel and rot within a few weeks.

I’d do it for $800/h

I thought it was pretty fun to play around with making limericks and rap battles with friends, but I haven’t found a particularly usefull use case for LLMs.

People will vote for what they like, not what’s good faith.

Same, thought they were talking about preping a dnd encounter.

Current ruling party is more friendly with Russia, right?

How does musk make money? Do any of his stocks pay dividends? Does he get a salary from his companies? Or are they taking about increase in stock value?
