In the spirit of me being one of the conspiracy men here, this is one I've known for at least 5 years. Oil is a natural occurring substance in the earth and there's an "endless" supply.
As usual elites have lied about it. I came to this conclusion when I begin to ask myself some questions or make statements. "With all the oil that's been "produced" over the last 100 years, at this point TRILLIONS of barrels...How many dinosaurs would have had to die?"
My conclusion, They're lying. The narrative is total bullshit.
Anyway, here's a nice little video...As always, trust nothing, question everything.

LOL. I love that you're back, Wiggs. throwing bombs at Goodrum and now all the dinosaur-cels with their bullshit oil!

In theory oil comes from the decomposition of plant matter (carbon) under extreme pressure for very long periods of time.
This is also how coal is formed and diamonds.
Dinosuars had little to do with it.

I know you said in theory but diamonds aren't formed from coal. This is a lie also but a thread in and of itself. Also, this market was heavily manipulated to give the appearance of scarcity by the De Beers.
-
Great thread!
I remember as a kid they would have speakers talk about how limited fossil fuels were and how we had almost completely destroyed the rainforests. They predicted that we would run out of fossil fuels and the rainforests would be gone by now. And this was well before electric cars.
With the growth of China we should have run out of fossil fuels by now.

the original oil was black

If you think about it , its impossible to accept how much oil came out of the ground truly epic. Oil gets used up like water yet its still there

But we have droughts and water tables will grow low.
But the ice caps are melting and that will add more water.

i love the lie about how diamonds are scarce.
total bs and people pay huge money for gay-ass rings.

LMAO! I literally laughed out loud.
I love this.
I had actually never thought about that, haha. Billions and trillions of dinosaurs, lol.
This wouldn't necessarily be impossible to pull off either.
I mean, how much massive excavations cost? And what do they find? Like one T-Rex?
I don't see it as impossible to screw with the market, like with the diamonds example.
Something to think about, for sure.
Also, where I am, gas is almost $6 USD per gallon.
People will stop driving at this rate. A decent number will definitely reduce their driving.

Even if Wiggs was right, a lot of that oil would be inaccessible or not worth the labor processing. Another example of his sub 90 IQ

Wiggs, it all came from ancient supermassive stars that went supernova. All the elements on Earth were created in stars. Huge amounts of pressure is required to form some of the heavier elements like iron, gold, platinum etc.
Diamonds are formed in carbon deposits that are under tremendous pressure. Carbon itself is formed in massive stars. Our Sun is not massive enough to ever form carbon. It will stop at helium and burn out in a helium flash during its red giant phase.
Fossil fuel is replenished through natural decay of dead organic material, however the fossil fuel deposits on earth today formed over 300 million years ago. At the rate we're using it we'll use up the supply faster than it can be replenished.

We will not run out of fossil fuels but extraction will become too expensive. Think about squeezing juice out of an orange. Initially you don't have to squeeze hard to get juice. But after enough juice have been squeezed out more force is required to get a few more drops until the drops just stop.

This post is great and educational but it’s also an example of how people are “brainwashed” by science.
We observe stars from10,000 light years away and make hypothesis fact. We believe we know what stars are made of by observation through telescopes (and I’m not pretending to completely understand spectroscopy).
But my point is this is no different than a Christian who uses science to explain how God created the universe. We are all putting faith into beliefs.

Diamonds are pure carbon.
I never said diamonds are made from coal.

They can determine what stars are made of through spectroscopic analysis, in simple terms this means using the light emitted by the star.
There is no conjecture involved in doing this.

I have long believed that oil is not from dinosaurs, and I cringe when they call it fossil fuel. It's just absurd.
-
HA! I was just thinking this a week ago. Was helping my nephew on some science homework and it was about energy and fossil fuels. I started thinking. How many fucking dinosaurs were there to make that much? Would have to be more dinosaurs then than there are humans now. then I thought, if the fossils we dig up now are too young to be turned into oil, they are the only proof we have of dinosaurs, then how the fuck do we know what existed before the dinosaurs we know of? If it all decayed to oil, how do we know there weren't other humans or animals all over earth?
Maybe the earth is like the matrix and we're on our 7th generation and people have been wiped out over and over.
As for diamonds, there is nothing special about them. Just pressure and time, but in the lab it's just pressure. Diamonds aren't as rare as the jews make them out to be. There are a shitload, mined and unmined. The Jews are scared about this massive discovery in Northern Canada. They feel it will crash the market based on the volume discovered.
Then the lab diamond. Read a story of a small company that made lab diamonds. The took a perfectly flawless diamond to a couple jewelers in NYs diamond district and showed them it. They were blown away how they found such a perfect diamond. They said it was a true rarity, then the guy pulled out a few more from his pocket and he said the jewelers couldn't believe what they were seeing. Since then I believe some big diamond brokers shut down this company. Why would you pay a ton for a shitty flawed diamond when for a fraction of the price get a perfect diamond?

Masters of Geophysics from USC here. a very simplistic explanation:
oil comes from algae and similar single cell organism, deposited and buried on the ocean floor, compressed over millions of years. Oil is fossilized algae.
coal is from plants and trees from a time before a bacteria that ate cellulose existed. Trees would fall, not decompose, and new trees grow on top of them. For millions of years. They got buried, compressed, and turned into coal.

I'd like to kick De Beers in the nuts! He's the asshole who created the engagement ring fad. Now we even are told we need to buy these women diamonds on Valentine's Day.

Ding ding! We have a winner :)
Even though I think you're nuts, Wiggs, it's good to have you back ;) I just wish you'd back somewhat more plausible (if still readily debunked) conspiracy theories...the flat Earth, black Jews and faked Luna landings stuff are all tired. How about explore the Nazi exodus to Argentina, or how certain agencies -- domestic and otherwise -- might've worked together to kill JFK?

Better get your money back for that Geophysics degree. A fossil is the mineralized remains of a past living organism. Fossilized algae would be rocks. You would have a hard time burning rocks.

Exactly. It is well known that the peak times for wind power are spring and fall- exactly the times energy demand is lowest. When you need electricity, it is at a peak in summer and winter. Wind power is a non-starter.
A friend of mine works for the General Electric wind power division. Two little known secrets: 1) the wind turbine blades have a very limited lifespan and when they crap out no one can recycle them so they dump them in landfills at a huge cost and 2) windfarms in general are tax subsidized and can't turn a profit without money from the government.

I don't understand why the oil doesn't just leak out the bottom of the flat earth and fall onto whatever is underneath?

I've wondered if solar or wind is energy positive at all. What's required to mine, refine, manufacture, transport, etc, I doubt a solar panel produces enough Kw to make another solar panel.

Algae is a living organism. Seaweed is a type of algae.
From your link:
"Fossils are the preserved remains, or traces of remains, of ancient organisms. Fossils are not the remains of the organism itself! They are rocks."

I posted a semi-detailed analysis about this several months back.
But overall, on a large scale the answer is no. Mainly because it is not cost effective at all and there is almost no reduction in materials and "fuels". The largest change is in emissions and that is only if you factor in nuclear power.
It costs more to build, install, maintain and remove (short lifespan) a large wind turbine than the amount of energy it creates. Very limited in the areas these even work.
I've worked in Energy for many years and do a ton of solar/wind projects from the engineering and construction side.
Large solar sites are complete shit too. They do not make enough output to pay for themselves before they need to be removed or upgraded. They are only beneficial due to government incentives.
It will be decades before this changes. There will need to be TRILLIONS of dollars in infrastructure upgrades across the US for this to be practical.
Solar on a small scale is only practical if you live in an area that gets a lot of sunshine, so maybe 30% of the planet. But the ability to store the energy isn't there yet.
I have a rental house with solar, it's enough to run lights and a few small appliances. And this house is in the desert of NM and gets over 290 days of sun per year. For my 20k investment, i might have saved $1000 in 2 years. And the panels typically last about 10 years, so unless energy prices skyrocket i'm not even going to break even.
This also ignores the materials needed to build these items, ship them and install them.
"Fossil" fuels aren't goin anywhere in our lifetime. Neither are steel, aluminum, copper and other metals.
And i'm not even going to touch the battery argument, that is an entirely more complicated thing to maintain.
People need to accept it but most people are terrible at economics and supply chains. Or just too biased on the whole "save the planet" thing.

yeah dont think so algae drys out

I looked into solar panels for my house once. After gov't rebates it would have been around $30,000.
In addition to the rebates there were the energy credits you would get that you could sell on the market. That possibility made it attractive presuming those continued to be possible.
My electric bill for a year is only about $1,100 so the panels would be worn out and need replacement well before breakeven.
I had several quotes and only one company did an actual analysis of sun exposure and told me my neighbors trees shading my house made it unworkable.

They find diamonds near extinct volcanoes.
They are very common and not rare. Debeers hoards diamonds to control the price.
Debeers has lots and lots of diamonds stored to keep them from flooding the market.
Gold is actually very rare.

They paid me.
Each cell of algae and similar single cell organisms contain some chains of hydrocarbons, ie fatty acids. when they die, some of the single cell organisms sink to the bottom of the ocean where they are buried by silt and other sediments. After millions of years and under great pressure they'll form more complex chains of hydrocarbons. They can remain in the shale (oil shale, which is hard to extract from) or move around into more porous layers, like sandstone, which is easy to pump from.
But this distrust of anyone with expertise that doesn't fit your world view is amazing.

Based on the info we have, how fossil fuels are formed and the size of the earth are there any educated estimates of how much fossil fuel, specifically oil, is available?

My friend is a Geologist for Saudi Aramco.
A few years ago he told me we have over 300 years of untapped sources.
And that is based on current and projected usage rates.
From what i've learned we don't know, but the problem is a lot of these reserves are incredibly hard to harvest.
The Green Energy push we have today is based on emissions and global warming scares.
Humans have been able to adapt to resources.
The first and most important resource on this planet that will go away is fresh water.
And you don't hear much about that.

I’m surprised the fresh water topic is not being pushed harder and pushing for desalination plants.

Tim - I can honestly say that due to the impact wrought on my mental health caused directly by the [quite illegal] liberal/leftist policies here in Canada, that I don't think I'd be capable of having a civilized discussion with you. Certainly not without an apology.
There are very few times I would say that, but that's how I feel about you.
Just to give you some information:
You told me that AIDS doesn't disproportionately impact the homosexual male population.
I stated that the per-contact probability of a homosexual male contracting HIV from a person with HIV from anal-receptive sex was 1 in 125. Meanwhile, the odds of contracting HIV from vaginal-penetrative sex is around 1 in 2,400.
But with such a larger number of homosexual men receiving anal sex [as 50% of the members of gay male relationships participate in the highest risk factor sexual activity for HIV], gay men are thus much more likely to be exposed to HIV.
What this means is as a gay man, you could receive anal intercourse from one boyfriend 125 times and BOOM, HIV.
Meanwhile, even if I had a girlfriend with HIV, I would need to have vaginal intercourse with her 2,400 times to get HIV.
The reason why I wanted to share this information is so that people are aware of the increased risks from sleeping with bisexual or homosexual men.
I have two gay male friends who are both tops only, because of this.
They will not receive anal sex.
And that was my only intention - and you chose to deride me as perpetrating gay hate.
Also, the idea of gay men falling apart with AIDS is bullshit. From what I can tell, a lot of 1980's homosexuals were killing themselves with methamphetamines - possibly due to the stress of being given a death sentence which wasn't even accurate.
But there's good news now, Tim: as a result of disgusting comments from people like you, I can honestly say...I sort of do hate gays now. Maybe not hate, exactly, but I would not befriend homosexuals because the risk of being accused of homophobia is high.
To be clear - you had the audacity of accusing me of homophobia for simply stating a medical fact on HIV transmission?
Wow.
All I was trying to do was raise awareness about HIV transmission, Tim.
To be clear - I was not anti-homosexual before.
I am anti-homosexual now.
Defined as: I wouldn't befriend a homosexual, for instance - due to the risk of being accused of homophobia for no reason. Since I don't see this culture changing, I need to protect myself. That said, Jussie Smollett being imprisoned for his fake hate crime was a good start. I also have no tolerance for how far the organized LGBT community is pushing their degeneracy. It's disgusting. I mean - they are normalizing pedophilia now. Utterly disgusting.
-
A major cause of the world's problems is that we like to divide the world into "them" vs "us". It is easy to dismiss other people's problems when you see them as a "them". It is easy to start wars with people when you see them as a "them". It is harder to do when you see them as part of "us".
THAT'S NOT WHAT I WAS DOING.
Disgusting sodomite.
Accusations like that are not those I would tolerate in person. Nothing short of an apology would be accepted, and that would only START the process of me letting go of what you said to me.
Accusing me of anti-homosexual sentiments just for RAISING AWARENESS of the disproportionately high risk of contracting HIV from receiving anal sex?
GFY!
-
I have many friends who have been HIV positive for over 20 years
LMAO!!!!
HAHAHAHA.
Big shocker there, Tim! So you know many more HIV-infected sodomites? Shocker, like I said.
FYI, I am glad I sought the wisdom of Getbiggers like Wiggs who informed me the risk of getting stool all over my penis, in the event of engaging in anal sex with a woman.
To be honest, I had predicted this,based on a couple of pornographic pictures I watched. I've now been asked to do this by six women.
At no point did I cave.
You know, Tim - the civil rights battle for the LGBT community HAS BEEN WON. I think you might be amazed at how tolerant people are of gay people.
I no longer am though, and would put 50% of that on you.
I believe Denzel Washington had the correct approach at dealing with sodomites in the drugstore scene of Philadelphia:

Amazing Ironage post I wrote, on facts about HIV/AIDS:
Just as I suspected, a series of ad hominem attacks and no rebuttals to the comments I pointed out, as usual. I find that the higher the IQ of the member, the less likely they are to be offended by my posts. True story! ;D Sorry if I offended your delicate sensibility with facts. :P Here are some more:
http://userwww.service.emory.edu/~afranc5/Economics_of_Sexuality.pdf
Page 39.
The per-contact probability of HIV transmission is 0.02% for vaginal insertive sex. This means I would have to have sex with 5000 women with HIV before the odds of me getting it strike, or have sex with one woman with HIV 5000 times.
WITH HIV! LOL. And there is propaganda targeted towards my demographic? How mathematically sound is that propaganda?
Compare that to anal-receptive sex where the odds are 0.8%, or one in 125 (40 times the risk). Now let's also use some common sense other than strict science and point out that anal sex is more predominant in the gay community in part due to the lack of pregnancy. Also, the overwhelming majority of the 58,000 people today with HIV are homosexual men or drug users. Straight men are a very small part of this picture.
Don't believe me? Not that facts are debatable or anything, but here is another link anyway:
Baeten JM, Richardson BA, Lavreys L, et al. Female-to-male infectivity of HIV-1 among circumcised and uncircumcised Kenyan men. J Infect Dis. 2005;191:546-553.
Also, men get HIV more often in Africa due to existence of other diseases and compromised immune systems. The facts above hold for men with healthy immune systems.
I don't see the point of a system where 88% of the propaganda seems aimed at a group which comprises 12% of the disease carrying population in North America.
http://www.whatisaids.com/wwwboard/messages/368.html
"But the politically incorrect truth is rarely spoken out loud: The dreaded heterosexual epidemic never happened."
"Female to male transmission is very inefficient, says Dr. Nancy Padian a professor in the department of obstetrics, gynecology and reproductive science at the University of California, San Francisco and the author of a 1996 10 year study of HIV infected heterosexual couples, the nation's longest and largest. She points out that "it's two to three times easier for men to infect women." But even so, if there are no other risk factors involved, the rate at which an infected man will transmit the virus to a woman is one in 1,100 sex acts."
All scientific papers I've read on the topic indicate the odds range from 1 in 300 to 1 in 5000 for a male getting HIV from a woman who is infected, and I've read plenty. Very low no matter how you cut it.
Any rebuttals, post them here and I will rip them piece-by-piece with logic and science.
I am concerned about other STDs - mainly bacterial ones like chlamydia and gonorrhea.
And by the way, it's not that I get extremely angry at HIV propaganda, but as a critical thinking person, it is offensive and promotes ignorance to me.

Yup I understand there is absolutely zero way we can be incorrect. There have been multiple experiments on helium in zero gravity situations. We can make these truths based on our research from 10,000 light years away.
Our Sun is only 8.3 light minutes away. Not 10,000 light years. You're right some of the other massive stars are very far away. Betelgeuse for example is 642.5 light years away. It might not even exist anymore. If it went supernova 400 years ago we would still not know for another 242.5 years. Since Betelgeuse is a lot more massive than the Sun it will have a shorter lifespan.
Here is a size comparison between the Sun, Jupiter, Earth and a few other planets.
(https://qph.fs.quoracdn.net/main-qimg-5ac5df89e3947dbab5bc9659d5e4bfbb-lq)
Now here is a size comparison between the Sun and Betelgeuse!

VY Canis Majoris compared to our Sun. Now our Sun will have a much bigger radius when it becomes a red giant. The Sun could reach all the way to the Earth at that stage. But the mass will be lower. VY Canis Majoris is not the heaviest known star. And not even the biggest by diameter. VY Canis is 6000 light years from Earth.

VY Canis Majoris is an extreme oxygen-rich red hypergiant or red supergiant and pulsating variable star 1.2 kiloparsecs from the Solar System in the slightly southern constellation of Canis Major. It is one of the largest known stars, one of the most luminous and massive red supergiants, and one of the most luminous stars in the Milky Way.
VY Canis Majoris is a red giant star located in the constellation Canis Major. Measuring between 1800-2100 times the size of the Sun, astronomers think that this star is at the end of its life, and will explode as a supernova in the relatively near future.
While it is thousands of times larger than our Sun it only has 17 times the solar-mass.
VY Canis Majoris is apparently the sixth largest known star.

Here is Jupiter next to the Earth.
(https://qph.fs.quoracdn.net/main-qimg-3ee4f503ce98b6830eae3c3473842dba-pjlq)
Jupiter is way more massive than Earth. And yet small compared to the Sun. Jupiter does not have enough mass to become a star. It is a gas giant though. It would have to be I think 80 times more massive before nuclear fusion can occur. At that mass it would be a small red dwarf star. Our Sun is over 1000 times heavier than Jupiter and has a diameter that is 9.731 times greater.
Here is a cool video of someone in Poland that zoomed into Jupiter with a camera.

How big can stars get?
Today, it’s thought stars can’t be more massive than 150 times our sun’s mass. But, for a while, scientists thought they had found something even bigger in the star cluster Pismis 24.
Pismis 24 lies 8,000 light-years away in the direction of the constellation Sagittarius. A star in its midst – Pismis 24-1 – was thought to be 200 to 300 times our sun’s mass. But, in 2007, this object was revealed to be not one but three stars, orbiting each other.
In 2009, EarthSky spoke with Jesus Maiz Apellaniz, an astronomer with the Andalucia Institute of Astrophysics in Spain. Maiz Apellaniz said that stars like those in this system are bright, a million times or more brighter than our sun. But this sort of star can be hard to find. They’re short-lived and far away, in this case about 8,000 light-years from Earth.
He added that the birth place for stars are usually clouds that have large amounts of dust, and dust obscures the light from the stars and makes them very hard to detect.
Each of the stars in Pismus 24-1 are still very massive, between 60 and 100 times as massive as our sun. But theories suggest that a star can’t be more massive than 150 solar masses.
With this system now known to be several stars instead of one, the star “Eta Carinae” remains a good candidate for the title of most massive star known. It’s somewhere around the theoretical mass limit of 150 solar masses.

STARS TOO MASSIVE TO GO OUT WITH A SUPERNOVA BANG SILENTLY COLLAPSE INTO BLACK HOLES
Stars that don’t go supernova or (rarely) hypernova usually collapse into black holes, but there are certain stars doomed to turn into these monsters their entire lives.
Those stars that do morph into black holes usually go through the death throes of a core-collapse supernova — but some are too enormous for even that. They directly collapse into the invisible mouths of the universe, slowly drawing dust and gas and the occasional passing star towards them with their massive gravity.
New research led by Junjie Mao of Hiroshima University, recently published in Astrophysics of Galaxies, has found that there may be even more of these stars than we thought.
While a core-colllapse supernova is the phenomenon thought to turn most stars into black holes after their last gasp, there is a limit for how huge stars that go through this can be. A star that keeps fusing more and more elements needs to keep generating heat somehow. It keeps fusing heavier elements until iron, because fusion would require too much energy after that. This is why its core collapses it and tears it to shreds.
“Massive stars above 27 solar masses might end up as black holes (there are other alternatives like faint supernovae,” he told SYFY WIRE. “As long as nothing is fighting back against gravity and winning, one would form a black hole during the core collapse of a massive stars.”
Mao saw that instead of occurring in stars of 9-40 solar masses as previously thought, core-collapse supernovas probably only happen in stars that are 9 to anywhere between 23 and 27 solar masses. Because supernovas vomit out huge amounts of matter as well as light, he and his team were able to figure this out by looking at the elements released, such as oxygen and iron. Depending on how massive the star that went supernova was, it’s going to release different amounts of various elements. Measuring the ratios of these elements gave an idea of mass.
N6946-BH1 was the first star that ever observed turning directly into a black hole. At around 25 solar masses, it fits with Mao’s predictions, and it was seen brightening as it might have before a core-collapse supernova from 22 million light years away. That was predictable. What was not so predictable was that it just seemed to fade into nothingness after that. With other possible causes ruled out, scientists surveyed the region surrounding the star in infrared to make sure it wasn’t hiding in interstellar dust. Nothing. It is thought to have darkened into a black hole.
“Using a multi-temperature thermal plasma model helped our observations because by nature, the hot atmospheres of starburst galaxies have multiple temperature components,” Mao said. “If we only counted the number of elements in one or two of those components, we might not have gotten the numbers right.”
While observing a pair of galaxies, known as Arp 299, on a collision course, Mao’s team expected it to be teeming with stars — and supernovas. You do tend to get more supernovas than usual when two galaxies are about to crash into each other. If these supernovas were core-collapse supernovas, there were amounts and ratios of certain elements which would give that away. Something weird showed up. Despite the ratios of neon to oxygen and magnesium to oxygen being close to the Sun’s, of the expected ratio of iron to oxygen was way off. Too low.
Though this research cannot completely confirm that all stars which are smaller than the previously assumed upper mass limit can go straight from star to black hole, it is onto something. There is a chance that some elements produced by supernovas have been overestimated or underestimated. Mao is eager for future missions that will have an even better eye for which stars go straight to black hole form.
“Our current study is partly limited by measurement errors,” he said “I’m looking forward to measurements with future space missions like the NASA-JAXA mission XRISM, the Chinese HUBS mission, and the ESA Athena mission.”

Much more than the atmosphere can handle.

THAT'S NOT WHAT I WAS DOING.
Disgusting sodomite.
Accusations like that are not those I would tolerate in person. Nothing short of an apology would be accepted, and that would only START the process of me letting go of what you said to me.
Accusing me of anti-homosexual sentiments just for RAISING AWARENESS of the disproportionately high risk of contracting HIV from receiving anal sex?
GFY!
You're quoting 14 year old postings. And getting quite angry about them. None where I say anything about transmission rates or the other things you wrote above.
Here is the thing. I reply to the board. Over the almost 20 years on getbig, I don't keep track of who is writing what. You give me a name, and I might be able to say yes or no they're on getbig. But I wouldn't be able to tell you what their primary message is. When I reply, I'm not writing to that person. I'm writing to the board. Im writing to the lurkers. There is all this hate being spewed, and I just write to say no that's not all there is.
Accusing me of anti-homosexual sentiments just for RAISING AWARENESS of the disproportionately high risk of contracting HIV from receiving anal sex?
In 2008? Every gay guy knew how HIV was being transmitted. The vast majority of gays were using condoms for anal sex at that time. Then a few years later, PrEP came along (Pre Exposure Prophylactic, taking Truvada or similar med daily when negative to prevent infection) did the gays mostly stop with the condoms.
In the 2008 thread you reference above, you were upset that a billboard was showing non-stereotypical people as having HIV.
-
You told me that AIDS doesn't disproportionately impact the homosexual male population.
No I did not. Above you pointed to a January 2008 thread. I reviewed it. No where in there do I say that. Nor did I ever believe that. The thread you link to was you complaining about a billboard campaign pointing out that many types of people get HIV.
...
And that was my only intention - and you chose to deride me as perpetrating gay hate.
How did I deride you? in that thread or any other can you find me calling you anything?
Also, the idea of gay men falling apart with AIDS is bullshit. From what I can tell, a lot of 1980's homosexuals were killing themselves with methamphetamines - possibly due to the stress of being given a death sentence which wasn't even accurate.
There is no evidence to support this claim.
To be clear - you had the audacity of accusing me of homophobia for simply stating a medical fact on HIV transmission?
All I was trying to do was raise awareness about HIV transmission, Tim.
Again, where did I call you anything? Pointing out that your "facts" are not true, or don't mean what you think they mean, is not calling you homophobic or even deriding you. And in that thread you were not raising awareness about HIV transmission. You were saying "It's all the gays"
If someone would make a post that I felt was misinformation or disinformation, if I believed that it was serious enough I would reply. Not to convince the person who wrote it, but to inform other readers, especially those who never post, lurkers.
In the almost 30 years of getbig and misc.fitness.weights before it, I don't believe I've every called anyone a name. On misc.fitness.weight (Usenet, before the web, ask your parents), I was the first openly gay regular poster. My motivation was simple: to tell lurkers that yes there are gay athletes, and it's okay. I never got into name calling. I just replied to other posts with facts. Now you can debate me on those facts. That's what these boards are for. But I would never took those debates personally.

Our Sun is only 8.3 light minutes away. Not 10,000 light years. You're right some of the other massive stars are very far away. Betelgeuse for example is 642.5 light years away. It might not even exist anymore. If it went supernova 400 years ago we would still not know for another 242.5 years. Since Betelgeuse is a lot more massive than the Sun it will have a shorter lifespan.
Here is a size comparison between the Sun, Jupiter, Earth and a few other planets.

A major cause of the world's problems is that we like to divide the world into "them" vs "us". It is easy to dismiss other people's problems when you see them as a "them". It is easy to start wars with people when you see them as a "them". It is harder to do when you see them as part of "us".
THAT'S NOT WHAT I WAS DOING, YOU DISGUSTING STOOL-COVERED-PENIS-CARRYING SODOMITE!
It seems to me that you saw Wiggs welcomed back here to such excitement and joy that you felt the same warm thoughts would be extended to you.
It almost brings a year to my eye, frankly, Wiggs being back.
The reason why that's not the case from me is because you are part of the same Global-Homo Marxist push that is making the quality of life of ALL PEOPLE [of all races/orientations] go down.
I think I've said everything I have had to say to you by now, Tim. There is an Ignore feature here, and I can use it. I don't want to be needlessly cruel to you.
That being said - accusing me of hating homosexuals for simply raising valid factual information on the risks of HIV due to anal sex? Shame on you!
I also want to point out...I am definitely against the organized LGBT community now.
I don't think it's fair to accuse me of hating gays, precisely. But however close I am to that, you are a large cause of it.

Volcanoes pump carbon dioxide and other gasses into the atmosphere at some low rate over hundreds of millions of years. Plants absorb some of those gasses and bury them into the ground slowly over hundreds of millions of years. Nice steady state relationship. Humans come along, dig them up and burn them, putting all that carbon back into the atmosphere in 250 years. We've released hundreds of millions of years of carbon back into the atmosphere in just the last 70 years.
Concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere prior to the industrial revolution was around 270. Currently it is at 420. If we were to burn all the fossil fuels still in the ground the amount of CO2 in the air would make earth uninhabitable

They have made progress in generating energy via nuclear fusion. Traditional nuclear power plants generate energy via nuclear fission or splitting of atoms. The sun fuses hydrogen into helium via nuclear fusion. Amazing stuff. Nuclear fusion would change the world.
https://www.dw.com/en/scientists-make-breakthrough-with-nuclear-fusion-record/a-60720511#:~:text=European%20researchers%20have%20leaped%20closer%20to%20making%20nuclear,mix%20was%20heated%20to%20set%20the%20latest%20record
Scientists make breakthrough with nuclear fusion record
European researchers have leaped closer to making nuclear fusion a practical energy source for humanity. It's the same power-generating process that makes stars, including our own sun, shine.
(https://static.dw.com/image/60718371_303.jpg)
The donut-shaped tokamak in Culham, England, where the plasma mix was heated to set the latest record
Scientists announced progress on Wednesday in the mission to make nuclear fusion a safe, practical, and clean energy source — smashing the record for the amount of nuclear fusion energy produced.
The experiment at the Joint European Torus (JET) facility near Oxford, England, set a record of generating 59 megajoules of sustained fusion energy in a five-second period — well over double the previous amount.
What is nuclear fusion?
The fusion process is a reverse of what happens in existing nuclear power plants — nuclear fission — where energy is released when large atoms are broken down into smaller ones.
Nuclear fusion comes from bashing together two small atomic nuclei at such high temperatures that they fuse — and release energy.
The nuclei would normally repel one another, so unimaginably high temperatures are needed to make them move quickly enough to actually collide.
It's the same basic process that sees hydrogen in the sun converted into helium, generating sunlight and making life on Earth possible.
Fusion offers the prospect of climate-friendly, abundant energy without pollution, radioactive waste.
What did the scientists do?
In the experiment, the scientists heated tiny amounts of deuterium and tritium — two forms of hydrogen gas — to temperatures 10 times hotter than the center of the sun.
The superheated plasma can't be held in a normal container, which would be destroyed by it. Instead, it's kept in place by powerful magnets inside a donut-shaped machine known as a tokamak.
There, as it spins around and fuses, the plasma releases enormous amounts of heat as nuclear material is converted into energy.
A tweet from the UK Atomic Energy Authority showed the record pulse of energy as it happened.
While that sounds slightly terrifying, the process is fundamentally safe in that — because it is so difficult to start and keep going — it cannot start a runaway process.
In terms of fuel, deuterium can be found in seawater, and tritium can be produced from lithium as a byproduct of the whole process.
Per kilogram of material used, the process releases nearly four million times more energy than burning fossil fuel, with unreactive helium the only waste product.

I remember that episode! The idol that some tribe worshipped was missing a diamond and Superman took a lump of coal and put it under a brazillion pounds of pressure for a few seconds and probably used his super fast super heat vision to invisibly turn it into a finely chiseled diamond to be put back into the idol and save the day from a tribe of really upset tribesmen of color. 'n' sheit.
Vincenzo once claimed to have shoved a lump of coal up his ass but it was actually poop that he pinched off in public while producing natural ass-gass for the less fortunate in his trailer park enclave and was so embarrassed that he just shoved it back up there until he could get home and crap out his masterpiece of a diamond in the tush for the Vissy-Fishy.
I know...I am taking it too far. But I do remember the episode. I should have gone to see Noel "The Body" Neil in Tucson prior to her passing on. What a babe she was on The Adventures of Superman!
