Black Friday and bushfires

In Australia Black Friday refers to something other than the last Friday in November.
It is 13 January… the anniversary of the 1939 bushfires in Victoria.

We do not feel that an artificial shopping event should usurp our national reminder of the ever present danger of bushfires.

Plus clogging up my email.
I am not sure what the climate-cost of an email is?

I am sure we could work it out.

But also its the cost of creation, sending, stocking and reading

I saw a client last week whose email box was full, never deleted anything in case its important even spam … 20000 mails most unread

Got him to start deleting so he could get new messages, but then he did not want to empty the bin or delete what he wrote… total waste some were over 20 years old and from people who had died since.

probably less forests than AI and crypto currency…

When I think about that - it turns my stomach… lets go LESS Power for stuff - heck - RISC was trying to do more - with less CPU cycles (or maybe less with more - but either way - it was an exercise in efficiency)…

FAT CPU cycles made everyone lazy…

C-nts like Musk would rather see the planet burn (look at how much carbon his jaunts pumps into the atmoshere daily) than think ouside a box - never mind any sort of vague cube shape… He’s no idiot savante - he’s just an idiot with too much money - some of which was interited by his ancestors by fucking over Africa…

Anyone who thinks Musk has any redeeming values can get f–ked - he turned a 100+ billion platform like Twitter to something worth less than 20,000,000,000 - how is that smart? He’s a “tech bro”? What does that even mean? He chucked some of his paypal money into Tesla and he’s a genius?

The rockets? He’s not a rocket scientist - hes a wanker who got a bunch of money from mommy and daddy - and decided to out-phallus Jeff Bezos with bigger and better rockerts… If anyone can tell me that’s captialism being efficient - please explain :smiley:

He’s a moron…

Is he associated with Paypal?
Paypal did not perform for me ,and it was almost impossible to get out of it. I had to disable it at the bank end and ignore their emails. They have no mechanism for cancelling.
