Europe is experiencing its worst heatwave ever recorded.

The combined intensity and scale of this winter heatwave is unlike anything in European history.

@MeadeKrosby Because it makes fiscal sense! Kind of like solar, wind and geothermal. Not to mention the massive hydro projects the entire country went all in on during the Roosevelt years.
Money. It's the only thing they listen to.

@MrGen0 So it's really going to take the wholesale destruction of the planet and envmnt - a state where it's longer an option to do anything about it: crop failures, AMOC failure, famine and disease, global mass death - for you fools to see we're in an extinction event of our own making?

@DrShayPhD @yoyoel I don't think this tweet is playing like you thought it would. It just makes me want to be his friend.

@Tappett @gerardkcohen Yo, bonehead. These so called "woke" job titles you're trying to laugh at are industry-normal software team position titles, so anybody knowledgeable reading this is laughing at you.
Yes, that means the joke is on you.

@3YearLetterman @elonmusk Except that is exactly what this platform is for. And that my friend, is his point. This isn't your football field, it's a discussion forum.

As of 10 minutes ago, GPUs can no longer be used to mine Ethereum.

ETH has officially merged to POS (Proof of Stake), meaning:

For the first time, environmental impact of ETH has been cut down by 99.95%.

Worldwide electricity consumption was just cut by 0.2%.

Incredible news.

"The Merge" is complete! It happened a few hours ago. Congratulations to the Ethereum Team!
They've just reduced the chain's energy consumption 99.5% from a whopping 70 TWh/yr!! This is HUGE!
(That's about the size of the Czech Republic BTW)

@PeterSweden7 This is an outlier case, completely due to two things: 1) extremely expensive energy in Norway currently, sure to the energy crisis, and 2) Circle-K capitalists.
*One case doth not make an argument.*

@tinypossum8 My professor liked to call this "vent with flame". He was a bit understated.
