Avoid @Hertz at all costs for personal and business travel. Widespread fictitious damage claims from use of AI scanners driving class action lawsuit.

@Lenovo worst customer experience. Clearly you don't care about your customers.

[Shay Ohrel @sohrel]

@LenovoSupport does not care about their customers. Worst customer experience ever

[Shay Ohrel @sohrel]

@LenovoSupport I am astonished at how poor of a customer experience you deliver. I've twice been told a situation was being resolved, only to be transferred to another dead end. Do better. My company and I will be voting with their $'s supporting your competitors now.

WOW. This video just DESTROYED the NRA and the Republican candidates they own.

RT this to remind EVERY voter that now is our chance to get weapons of war off the streets.

Here's 2 quick reasons why we should have zero-trust in the NYTimes article on Bitcoin.

First have a look at the table they compiled on the top 6 miners (the full table is much longer)

I have the actual data from these miners (and the others in their table) compiled over an 8 month period.

The NYTimes article overstates actual fossil fuel use by the following levels - using special accounting rules reserved only for Bitcoin miners it would seem to justify the overstatement:

Riot: overstated by 82.5%
Atlas: overstated by 32.8%
Cipher Mining: overstated by 74.9%
US Bitcoin Corp: overstated by 74.9%
Rhodium: overstated by 89.9%
Bitdeer overstated by 82.5%

The emissions levels are also overstated on average by 81.7%

Also, ample evidence of cherrypicking to support their thesis by NYTimes.

for example:

There are now 26 Miners in US&Canada using 90%+ sustainable energy (and growing rapidly). They are:

DPO, Terawulf, Bitfarms, Gryphon Mining, Soluna, Hive, Cleanspark, Iris, DMOBlockchain, Sato, Cowa, Blockfusion, Hut8, Marathon, Cumulus, Ocean Falls + a further 8 using emission-negative mining which I document here https://t.co/26BeWETsUc

Cherry-picking evidence 1: NYTimes only focused on 2 of these 26 miners (Cleanspark and Terawulf)

Cherry-picking evidence 2: Then within these two, they only focused on (you guessed it) their least renewable-energy backed site(s), neglecting the sites that were predominantly renewable-energy based.

This is inception-like cherry-picking: cherry-picking within cherry-picking !

Their omission of data was not accidental

So in summary - we have evidence of significantly overstated real percentages of fossil fuel emissions, and using overwhelmingly incomplete datasets to support a thesis.

The article is full of such transgressions of genuine objective reporting. But I'll stick to these data-transgressions and leave the rest for others to pick apart.

@HouseGOP Parents have a right to know their kids will make it home and not be gunned down by an AR-15. Do your job and get off the @NRA tit!

[Shay Ohrel @sohrel]

@NikkiHaley What about all of the spineless @gop politicians who refuse to do anything and choose to work on behalf of the @NRA instead of for the people???

[Shay Ohrel @sohrel]

@LeaderMcConnell Do something you ghoul. You are elected to work for the people, not the @NRA

[Shay Ohrel @sohrel]

@RandPaul How about actually doing your job and protecting your constituents. You are supposed to work for the people, not the @NRA

BREAKING: Tennessee GOP leaders try to EXPEL 3 members of legislature who stood with student demonstrators at the state capitol today asking for gun safety regulations.

Expulsion up for vote, and their member IDs have already been shut off.

Absolutely unconstitutional.
