@github Just to be clear: Microsoft’s GitHub was compromised when a Microsoft developer using Microsoft VSCode installed a rogue extension from Microsoft’s VSCode extension library, which is moderated and hosted by Microsoft. I guess I’ll be reevaluating my life choices.

“GOOD RIDDANCE! After 15 years of Dumocrats promising that “Climate Change” is going to destroy the Planet, the United Nations TOP Climate Committee just admitted that its own projections (RCP8.5) were WRONG! WRONG! WRONG!” - President DONALD J. TRUMP 🇺🇸

The secret to living to 100? HIGH CHOLESTEROL A massive Swedish study tracking over 800,000 people for 35 years just revealed: Every single centenarian had HIGH total cholesterol. The higher your LDL, the longer you live.

@DaLiberman @PeterMcCormack Extremely interesting conversation !!

Thank you, @PeterMcCormack, for the opportunity to discuss this important topic and share our thoughts with your audience regarding what might happen without the decentralization of AI (including the darkest scenarios). Watch and beware

Many of the onshore wind farms along the coasts of the UK and Denmark are falling apart after only 10 years. A study reveals that energy contributions from wind farms begin to fall sharply after only 10 to 15 years, leaving the skeletons of steel and plastic blowing in the wind. The economic analysis reveals the lifespan of an onshore turbine is not 20 to 25 years, as stated by the wind industry itself, supported by the UK Government. This peer reviewed British study reveals that the energy production of onshore wind farms falls substantially as they get older, due to wear and tear. Energy and environmental economist, Professor Gordon Hughes (University of Edinburgh), carried out the statistical analysis of wind farm performance data in the UK and Denmark. He concluded that load factors, like electricity generated as a percentage of capacity, declined a lot faster than expected, suggesting a baseline 10 to 15 year lifespan. This is when the technical life of most turbines crunch to halt, and become unprofitable to continue. Rising maintenance costs makes them uneconomical. The study found the average UK wind farm's ability to meet electricity demand had fallen by a third after around 10 years, leading to a conclusion that many are fully uneconomic to run after only 12 years. While the wind industry generally forecasts a 25-year lifespan, the data reveals a different reality about the viability of keeping them spinning so long. Many companies now 'repower' (replace old turbines with new ones) long before the 25-year target to maximise subsidies and output. This often ends the lifespan of the original hardware much sooner. The wind farm study is published by the 'Renewable Energy Foundation on the Performance of Wind Farms in the United Kingdom and Denmark, 2012'.

It is impossible to overestimate the historic importance of @elonmusk purchasing this platform. He saved freedom of speech. He saved truth.

𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐘 𝐄𝐑𝐀𝐒𝐄𝐃 𝟒𝟔𝟑 𝐘𝐄𝐀𝐑𝐒 𝐅𝐑𝐎𝐌 𝐘𝐎𝐔𝐑 𝐇𝐈𝐒𝐓𝐎𝐑𝐘 𝐁𝐎𝐎𝐊𝐒. 𝐇𝐄𝐑𝐄 𝐀𝐑𝐄 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐑𝐄𝐂𝐄𝐈𝐏𝐓𝐒. Every time someone trots out the Crusades to lecture Christians or the West, they leave out four centuries of history. I'm putting it back on the record. 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐪𝐮𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐁𝐞𝐠𝐚𝐧 𝐈𝐦𝐦𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐥𝐲 Muhammad died in 632. Within three years, Muslim armies had taken Damascus (635). The next year, Antioch (636). The year after that, the entire Holy Land (637) — the spiritual center of Christendom, gone. Armenia became the first Christian nation fully conquered (639). Egypt, the Coptic Christian power, fell two years later (641). By 650, Muslim forces had reached southern Italy and Cyprus, taking thousands of captives as "𝘴𝘭𝘢𝘷𝘦𝘴" and "𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘤𝘶𝘣𝘪𝘯𝘦𝘴." Then came Spain — Muslim armies crossed from North Africa in 711 and overran most of Iberia by 715. In roughly 80 years, Christianity lost the Middle East, North Africa, and most of the Iberian Peninsula. 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐈𝐧𝐯𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐝 𝐄𝐮𝐫𝐨𝐩𝐞 — 𝐑𝐞𝐩𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐝𝐥𝐲 This was not exploration. This was conquest. In 717, Muslim forces besieged Constantinople itself — the capital of Eastern Christendom. The siege lasted a year before they were repelled. Had it succeeded, the path into Europe would have been wide open. In 730, they invaded France. Charles Martel stopped them at Tours. In 792, the ruler of Al-Andalus called for a second invasion of France. Repelled. In 848, a third invasion of France. Repelled again. In 827, Muslims invaded Sicily and Italy, persecuting monks and pillaging Christian communities. Sicily would remain under Islamic rule for 250 years. In 846, they invaded Rome itself and forced the Pope to pay tribute. By 909, they had taken Sardinia. This was relentless, coordinated, and existential. 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐀𝐭𝐭𝐚𝐜𝐤𝐞𝐝 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐌𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝐌𝐨𝐬𝐭 In 937, the Church of the Holy Sepulcher — built over the site Christians believe is the tomb of Christ — was burned to the ground. More churches in Jerusalem were torched alongside it. In 1009, the Church of the Resurrection was destroyed. By 1012, Al-Hakim's oppressive decrees against Christians had begun in earnest. Christian pilgrims could no longer safely visit the sites of Christ's ministry. The holiest city in Christendom was ruled by a hostile power systematically destroying the faith itself. 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐨𝐩𝐥𝐞 𝐂𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐝 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐇𝐞𝐥𝐩 In 1071, Muslim Turkish forces shattered the Byzantine army at Manzikert and occupied most of Anatolia. Constantinople was now directly threatened. In 1094, Byzantine Emperor Alexios I Komnenos sent envoys to Rome begging Western Christendom for military aid. In 1095, Pope Urban II declared the First Crusade. 𝟒𝟔𝟑 𝐲𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐪𝐮𝐞𝐬𝐭.

Jordan Peterson on a truth that should humble all of us: “I’ve never seen anyone get away with anything. Not even once.” You might twist the fabric of reality for a while — bend the rules, cut corners, play games — but it always snaps back. Sometimes years later, in ways you never saw coming. That’s why “the fear of God is the beginning of wisdom.” Not terror, but deep respect for the order of things. You get away with nothing in the end. In a culture that increasingly celebrates short-term cleverness and moral flexibility, this is a sobering reminder that reality keeps perfect score. God is not mocked. Whatever a man sows, that he will also reap. What about you — have you ever watched someone “get away with it”… only for it to catch up with them later in unexpected ways?

@ecb @Lagarde because there is no crisis. IPCC report, read it

Global efforts to tackle the climate and nature crises have not progressed as hoped, says President Christine @Lagarde. This sharpens the case for deeper analysis from the research and central banking communities to better understand the risks to price and financial stability.

🚨 BREAKING: We’re now filming fusion plasma at 100 million °C in real time. This isn’t CGI. This is inside the ST40 fusion reactor. At temperatures hotter than the core of the Sun, matter becomes plasma a state where atoms are ripped apart. And for the first time… We can actually see it evolve. This is the same process that powers stars. If we can control it: Unlimited clean energy No carbon emissions Virtually endless fuel The future of energy isn’t theoretical anymore. It’s glowing… right in front of us. What do you think Will fusion solve energy in our lifetime? Follow me I break down the physics behind the biggest breakthroughs.

Minister van klimaat Stientje van Veldhoven(D66) wil onafhankelijk worden van fossiele energie uit het midden-oosten: "Het gaat echt niet alleen om het klimaat. Wij willen gewoon niet meer in onze economische groei afhankelijk zijn van wat iemand in het Midden-Oosten doet." "Dus die onafhankelijkheidswens is heel groot. Dat zie je natuurlijk ook in Nederland. Dat we denken, waarom willen we daar zo van afhankelijk zijn?" "Veel investeren in structureel minder afhankelijk worden van die brandstoffen. Want die euro die je daar in steekt, die helpt deze winter en volgende winter. En de winter daarna en de winter daarna." Wat een ontzettend incompetente minister is Stientje van Veldhoven. De energietransitie van fossiele energie naar wind- en zonne-energie leidt tot een nieuwe, forse afhankelijkheid van China. Dit wordt glashelder bevestigd door recente rapporten van het IEA, het CBS, TNO en de Europese Rekenkamer. De kwetsbaarheid zit vooral in de productie van zonnepanelen – waarin China meer dan 80 % van de wereldwijde capaciteit beheerst – en in de winning en verwerking van kritieke grondstoffen voor windturbines, zoals zeldzame aardmetalen. grok.com/share/c2hhcmQt…

🚨 NOW: El Salvadorans are boasting that President Nayib Bukele has turned his once-violent country into the OPPOSITE of EUROPE — instead of rampant gangs and no go zones, the people are safe and THRIVING -98% in homicides Incredible what ruling with an iron fist over crime can do! 🇺🇸🇸🇻 Bravo, @NayibBukele! A model for Latin America. EUROPE should take notes! 📽️ @JorgeManzaSV
