A commenter on cstross's blog observes that it is now possible to talk about the energy consumed by bitcoin mining as being the same as the energy yield of "around one B61 nuclear bomb per day".

@pho4cexa Now you're being too hard on yourself again. Self discovery and naming things are not narcissistic.

@DialMforMara @emdeesee It's hard to guess where to draw the line and say "this is gamedev laziness / this is how the world really is"

I just notice that after you defeat Alduin, that updrafty-thing at the site of the "time wound", which I interpret as being the visible manifestation of the wound, is still there.. #skyrim @emdeesee

@pho4cexa I totally feel where you're coming from; I'm in a very similar place in my life. Personally I try to worry less about how I label myself and more about trying to create a world where all people who identify as queer are safer, freer, and happier; sounds like you can agree with a goal like that.

I see that this position has certainly been argued before, but it had never occurred to me.

From now on I'm considering 1 Corinthians 7:1-9 as a poorly argued antinatalist position.

@luckyduck I think we're OK. Thanks for asking.

@demonkind @DialMforMara @generica @TrollDecker thank you all for your kind words. She lived a long life and was at peace with her own coming death in a way that I cannot fathom.

My grandmother died Sunday. She was 101.

"it is better to marry than to burn with passion." thanks paul, we'll take that to heart.

@Nezchan in the case of the newsstand app, you should be able to disable it forever: go to settings, apps, and find it in the list. First, uninstall updates; second, decativate app. If there's an "unstall" option instead, just use that. but yeah you're not wrong. (but it's not just google that does it; amazon has started sending advertising in notifications from kindle app too, ugh)

ooooh Long List Anthology volume 3 ebook is now available to those who backed the kickstarter. F/SF short stories are just about my favorite thing to read.
