Just had a look on my Android phone (Android 13 OS) with Brave installed and gone on this site. No ads. Brave Shields, the built-in blocker on its own seems to do the trick. Click on the the lion icon up top to toggle it off for a site if it gets in the way of access. There are two levels of ad removal: aggressive and normal, and other options. If it's too stripped down for you, but works here, you could just use it for here and use Chrome for your other sites.

A perpetual motion machine is theoretically impossible though. Fusion isn't.

OK. Cheers.

I've rarely had problems with ads on Android or Windows.

Have you tried Brave browser on your phone? It is a very non-invasive browser and geared towards user experience, rather than facilitating advertisers. It's my goto on Windows 11.

I'd say just keep using and developing all the current options, and then when fusion is viable phase out fission.

Is it on a phone or pc? Is it an iphone or Apple computer?

I was wrong. See my post after.

From your first link: Although it is far more efficient, It'll still drive up absolute energy demand by 5X up to 2030, which is what I was trying to say.

I wonder if distributed server farms could become a thing where consumers devices are used for a price or benefit. The information locations could decentralize the system and make it more secure? Parts of encrypted files could be randomly distributed and recompiled on demand by those who have the necessary keys.

5G is just the 'pipes' of the system, but much wider. I think of it as removing bottlenecks. There will be likely much more data shoved through as it becomes available, which puts further energy demand on the system.

When 5G gets widely rolled out with its much higher bandwidth, demand will go nuts, I reckon.

The iTunes backup should be a sequential backup, which means it is added on to what's already there.

@ImplicitDemandsYou've had some solid advice given here that I don't think you will anywhere on any other other random forum. None of us are spring chickens (young) and have been around many of the issues in getting through life. My avatar is from my mid-late forties iirc and I'm 62 now.

I was thinking that too. Nine pages is long enough.

If a person can physically have sex with another, but doesn't, they are NOT involuntary celibates. It's not a case of can't, but won't. It's a state of wilful inaction, then blaming someone else by proxy. ImplicitDemands is not an involuntary celibate, they have created demands that are unreasonable. The 'obstacles' are of their own creation. The outcome of this behaviour is a forgone conclusion. This is by design for reasons only they know.

It was mostly an Irish activity this side of the pond and was called 'Poteen' (Po-cheen).

Fermented and distilled.

Incel is a movement that has misapplied the term 'involuntary celibacy' to suit their agenda.

Involuntarily celibate, but they are not incels, which is a movement of emotionally disturbed men projecting their issues onto women as the cause of their problems. They aren't actually involuntarily celibate, their state is self induced.

If you call yourself an 'incel' you are proactively identifying with a subculture, this is distinguished from those who are involuntarily celibate via physical trauma, genetics etc. I don't think the latter would call themselves 'incels'.

From what I understand about Lithium ion is that trying to recharge a battery that has been discharged below the actual minimum safe discharge level, 2.7v, which is lower than the designed automatic cutoff voltage, 3v, creates the possibility of producing elemental lithium. Caused by a faulty voltage detection component, for example. Lithium's reaction with oxygen is highly exothermic... The safest behaviour with them is to recharge when the device says so at about 20% charge left. Going lower degrades the battery and its service life.

You've worked on your body, now work on your mind. I'm voluntarily celibate, by the way; 30 years. I've never worked on my appearance, and yet still managed to organically attract women, when I was interested. Ultimately, I think, people see what they see in a potential partner in their 'mind's eye', and not with their physical eyes. If all your idiosyncrasies, attitude, character, personality add up to an appealing aesthetic vision, they will likely be attracted to you. If you focus on your appearance exclusively, you will only attract those that have the same superficial aesthetic values. You are focusing on things about yourself that are attracting the wrong kind of woman for you.

What has that got to do with the question? There is zero difference between them, but how they are used for respiration, they have different processes to achieve the same goal i.e. energy production.
