ethereum moved to proof of stake sometime back. BTC and I think a few other (very) minor cryptos still use proof of work which is where the significant power usage goes. Not something I track but I believe the vast majority of non-BTC cyptos are proof of stake or something not proof of work anyway and BTC is the only one that uses proof of work and is used at all. That might not exactly be technically correct but it is in the practical realm.

Ok, so he's saying that former guy who held money for Ukraine hostage for a political favor definitely won't do the exact thing again or simply out of spite? The same guy who is going around talking about punishing his enemies i.e. anyone who doesn't treat him like a god-emperor? The same guy whose party is currently sabotaging funding for Ukraine right now? Sure Mike.

Oh, wait this Mike Pompeo?

When asked about his knowledge of the controversial call made by President Trump on July 25, 2019, to Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, in which Trump solicited assistance in investigating the son of former vice president and presidential candidate Joe Biden, Pompeo initially said he had little knowledge of Trump's call with Zelenskiy since he had not yet read the transcript of the call. It was later confirmed by officials that he himself had been on the call. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mike_Pompeo

I don't think he was anyone's favorite. If I recall correctly he was going to lose in Indiana before T picked him up to use him.

Let's see.

Or sticks depending on how it goes.

Overall I think it is not a good idea to criticize people who were on the mountain for what they may or may not have done. It isn't a normal environment and people are often not fully in their right minds. Decision-making is often poor or confused and people can be certain of things that are not correct. I don't believe the history of rescue attempts on K2, especially from dangerous areas is good and has led to even bigger disasters.

Now if an expedition company did in fact know he was inexperienced and sent him to the upper section of one of the world's most dangerous mountains improperly equipped. Anyone involved in that decision should face consequences. Experienced and well-equipped people up on K2 are already taking a huge risk so sending anyone who doesn't meet that standard is negligent to an extreme.

And further as the article suggests there needs to be a foundation or insurance policy of some sort that will support the family of someone like this.

K2 is an incredibly dangerous mountain. The possibility of a rescue attempt would depend on many factors that we have no way to know. In these sorts of situations even other climbers nearby might have a complete different opinion. In many cases like this people are often not thinking correctly believing they saw something that wasn't even there or just completely misperceived due to attitude or exhaustion or illness.

Technically they crave electrolytes

Now that's a great idea. I've been using NextDNS which works quite well and I stay in its free usage cap, but still being self-reliant is better. I'll check that one out.

I am surprised no mention of Mint yet. As far as beginner-friendly Linux desktop Mint is one of the better ones and it is just very nice overall. To be fair I have not used it for gaming but I would not think there would be any more issues with that than any Linux distro.

Fear and an unwillingness to try new things.

For example, some of the complaints that people had about Mastodon early on were just odd to me. They made such a big deal out of "you have to pick a server, no one understands that" or nitpicking UI interfaces between Mastodon and twt. They didn't have logical arguments IMHO it was them just not being happy about change and not being honest about that.

I go way back to the early days. I played some of the Ultima series on a friend's computer, Atari 2600 stuff, C=64 etc. Zork and some of the infocom games. First PC game I played I guess was one I typed in on my Atari 400 and saved to casettte.

The first game I played till the sun rose was Populous. 1989. IIRC I had a 286-16.

After that, my great love affair was Ultima Online, which I played on the Baja shard from just around beta. I got a little taste of the dread lord days and into the rep system etc. I lived for that game. Moved on to EverQuest and WoW which both never really captured me as UO did. Spent some time with Ashron's call.

I'd have to give an honorable mention to Total Annihilation and Warcraft and I am sure many others I can't recall.
