    There was an article recently about Mark Cuban who said that with all of the businesses he invested in from the Shark Tank, he has mostly lost money. LOL Overall Loss from Shark Tank Businesses

    @Jolly said in How much energy?: @taiwan_girl said in How much energy?: I think that the video does not mention is the advances in energy efficiency. For example, something like a refrigerator now uses about 4x LESS energy than just 20 years ago for the same cooling. I am sure that for a refrigerator 50 years ago, the energy usage is probably almost 100x less. I do agree that fossil fuel is not going away. Too much investment in "inter structure" etc It will decrease over time, but will be more of a slope than a cliff. I also agree with @mik Nuclear should be looked at more. (Funny, but I just read an article about the US Army and their attempts to use portable nuclear power on remote bases, the first time 60 years ago in Greenland https://www.armytimes.com/news/your-army/2021/07/20/the-army-tried-portable-nuclear-power-at-remote-bases-60-years-ago-it-didnt-go-well/ Problem is, how long does that refrigerator last? I can show you multiple old refrigerators, 70 years old. Most people I talk to today, grumble about how short the life of a new frig is nowadays. I agree, but I also think it would be possible to build a long lasting energy efficient refrigerator. Right now, the manufacturing/disposal/raw material means that a long lasting energy efficienct fridge would cost more and not too many people would buy it. If for example, disposal costs increase by alot, then more incentive to build them to last longer. I think that humans are good at adapting to what is needed.

    @George-K interesting questions. I would say that the dinosaurs were "intelligent life". If there was not a meteor millions of years ago, would humans be here today? Or instead would be it some form of dinosaur - while they were intelligent, they had been around for hundred of millions of years but still were pretty primitive. Anyways, fun questions to think about.

    @jon-nyc said in How do you plead?: I read here that this didn’t even happen. I think you read about the suspicions that a lot of people had that this was a single-source, unverified story, and it ain't like the Left (Russia!) ever lied for political game.

    GI docs do this all the time, and they have for a long time - along with midazolam (Versed). "Give another 50 mcg." Yeah. This is why I'd never have a colonoscopy without an anesthesiologist in attendance.

    I love the innovative thinking on it. Hope it proves out. If it does, it could be huge.
