technically you can make clean fuel from coal but the conversion would take more energy than what the product could provide and the conversion itself wouldn't be clean

and even if both of those things weren't a problem, no matter what your solution to the stufftiness that is coal may be, it will always be more expensive than natural gas, and even most renewable energy sources.

Off Topic / Re: UK trying to force research sites to prove their users are 18

this is especially forgeted, because seriously, do you trust most researchsites with your credit card info?

not only is it extremely forgeted in that regard but it's also extremely forgeted up in terms of identity theft. The research sites you as an adult visit might be safe, but this isn't going to stop kids from getting research. Ever. What it WILL do is make a myriad of "free research sites" where you "just" have to enter in your parents credit card number to get in that take advantage of horny kid psychology to get as many credit card numbers as possible.

Can someone please remind me why this forget was voted into office again

Where are you living?

Manitoba
My point was just, no, this is not a "canada" thing, please don't make people think our selection is THAT stuffty, because it's not nearly as bad as the US.
It's still horrible, but the US is on a whole other level of horridness.

Oh. I see you guys are late. Canada has been doing this for a long time now.

Literally what are you talking about none of the big companies here in my province of 1.3 million people force you to have a data cap
Even bell mts, the biggest, stufftiest telecom conglomerate in the province doesn't have a single plan with a data cap

OT though: ISPs like to have closed door meetings about how they can collectively jack up prices and save tiny scraps of cash at the detriment of the consumer.
Data caps is just another one of those things that they've all agreed to do to keep competition stifled amongst themselves.

although phantos i disagree with you about the library of babel. the point of that isn't to be "art" or "pretentious," it's to demonstrate how anything can be found in random noise and i think it's really cool.

it's not random though
it completely breaks the point of randomness by being completely deterministic
if it was random, i might be inclined to agree, but it's actually so entirely non-random that you can quickly and without any work find out where in the "library" a given piece of text is, no matter how long (Despite the limit imposed by the website itself). If it was anywhere near random you'd never be able to do that.

Sure it seems random, but it's not even remotely so. Literally a website to find your birthday in the actually random digits of pi is a million times better than that website or any clone thereof

uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh this was during the interview with the 2 transgender individuals like 5 minutes ago
twitch chat is definitely extremely sensible lol

i mean yeah but i think the dansgame was mainly in reference to the interviewer
one does not get that many dansgame emotes for just being trans
not even twitch chat is that cancerous

and I appreciate that some people (not in reference to you gock) like to make this about trans people but this is an event that regularly raises multiple millions of dollars for charity every single year without fail, all thanks to the gaming community. Which is an absolutely extraordinary thing. So I mean I might be crazy here but I think we should just appreciate the fact that it exists and try to contribute to it and help it succeed even more ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

pretty sure there was about 10x more DansGames than any other emote

in reference to the interviewer who did some real cringy stuff earlier trying to get an emote banned yes
