This is just survivorship bias right? The ones that get caught are hard to hide. That's part of why they got caught.

Never doubt the impact bad incentives can have on a large group of individual actors.

bsky doesn't have an algorithm. If that was on their feed they followed the person or were looking at a relevant feed.

There was absolutely a sweet period around when indy games were taking off and after game guides had fallen out of favour, where secrets like this in medium sized games (or huge indy hits) could remain for years.

If you are serious about losing weight, what I would suggest you do is start recording what you are eating in detail to see where the calories are actually coming from. Make a spreadsheet and track it. Also if you aren't already active, pick up some activity to become less sedentary. Doesn't need to be working out, could be a sport, could be going for more walks.

Can you give an example of what you currently eat? I.. doubt you aren't losing weight if you are really eating 900 calories a day.

Sure of the first point I guess? I'm not some huge advocate of this technology, I'm just saying it's not an apples to apples comparison where you can simply say its 4x worse.

On the second point, no. It takes 10s or 100s of millions of years for coal/oil to form. And most of the stuff we mine/drill for was formed from trees before bacteria/fungus evolved ways to break down cellulose, so dead trees just piled up. Its plausible that its never removed from the carbon cycle unless we are the ones to put it back where we got it from. It will certainly not happen on human time scales.

The way its currently operating seems highly inefficient, but the point about biopower stations is that they aren't introducing more carbon into the carbon cycle. These trees would have died eventually and returned to the carbon cycle naturally, they are just controlling the process for human power. Imagine if it was running off of a tree farm that was geographically next to the power plant, for instance.

Northern Ireland is on the Isle of Ireland, but part of the UK. Ireland has a fraught history with the UK. Look into "the troubles" if thats a new term to you.

If I'm reading things correctly, this issue isn't the latch failing, it's that it's not properly closed after being opened, something that should be detected by software but isn't because of a deformation in the latch. Of course I have no idea if they are just lying.
