Get a computer that you can't play it on and put your gaming rig in storage (or have someone get rid of it for you). Then figure out something to fill the space.. build a new habit for example... exercise (walking/running)
Honestly, after seeing how poorly scientists botched modeling covid-19 infection/death rates, I just get how it's possible to model something like this which is several decades in the future and have confidence in your prediction.
I don't know, the IPCC 2005 models are really accurate (you have to take the "if nothing is done" line).
But i guess 15 years is not enough for you.
Well, it's simple. Look at BP scientist model in the late 70's and look how much we diverged. 40 years, if the model is false you will see it fast no?
Since you're a skeptic, you have to follow the rule: look at the evidence that say you're wrong before looking at the evidence that say you're right. Luckily, those models can be the evidence of both at the same time, so you only have to do your own research twice!
Did they botch them or did they make the best predictions possible with the information available at the time?
What's the alternative, to only act when you have 100% certainty about anything? Would doing absolutely nothing between the beginning of 2020 and now have resulted in better or worse outcomes for Covid?
What about Hunter/Joe Biden? Was that not news worthy? Was anything about Joe Biden news worthy prior to the election? It's an embarrassment.
I hope everyone realizes the powers that took on Trump, Big Tech, Deep State, China/Russia/EU, Democrats, etc. Quite the feat that it took that much power to barely beat Trump (which is debatable until we get a handle on what happened for voting. I don't know if the election was rigged, but I wouldn't put it past them and there are some weird anomalies in the voting data).
I, for one, was very interested in seeing the end of the Tucker Carlson story, and was disappointed when he dropped his chance to reveal his supposedly damaging information about the Bidens.
Why do you think the story was dropped? Personally, I think it's likely that said information was not actually ever damning, but I guess the Deep State could have gotten to Tucker, if that's your conspiracy theory.
The worst part about the Hunter/Joe Biden saga is that what they were doing isn't illegal (from what I can tell.). I'd call it corrupt and crony capitalism, among things, but doesn't look like it's illegal.
And this get to one of things I really hate about US politics. They write the rules, but don't seem to have to abide by any of them. There is always a loop hole or connection to save them. Pathetic.
Regarding Tucker, his show is the only show I watch every night. I think he does a great job at bringing light to the under belly of Washington. 'The sworn enemy of lying, pomposity, smugness and groupthink.' Now, do I think he's perfect, no. Nobody is.
So why didn't he provide any of the damning evidence that he shipped to his office?
I'll give you a hint: It's far easier to get sued for defamation if you read lies on TV than if you say you have bad stuff to say about someone but won't say it because you're nice.
Well, as far as I know, we don't know why he didn't share it. Maybe it's because it wasn't that damning after all. Or maybe because he realized the fix was in for Biden and any amount of hooting and hollering wasn't going to make a difference. Or maybe he realized the information wasn't credible, but from what I remember, it was.
Again, who knows. Would it have made a difference if other news channels had picked up the story? Probably. Did it make a difference? Doesn't look like it.
Look, I voted for Obama 2008, voted Libertarian in 2012, and Trump 2016/2020 (for his America first policies, not his personality, which why this election was so mind blowing). My background is in Finance, specifically Hedge Funds, and I'm relatively a newcomer to watching how Politics all works. The idea that you have to stir your constituents into a craze for 4 years and feed them lies, so you don't lose power is really sad. Both sides are guilty of it.
In my experience, lots of banking, some trading. In both cases, it is used for history, audit and precision.
The idea is that for banking, it is not enough to just get the _current_ state - the more important thing is how someone _reached_ that state.
Adding history to transactions is not new - so rather than bolting on a history/audit mechanism, you knock out both - a higher resilience, distributed system + built-in audit/history mechanism.
