Techbros: “We reinvented money and now it’s computer money and it’s totally better than old money except also it’s value is still technically calculated by the standard of old money oh ALSO it needs more power than many countries, does your inferior dollar bill need to be plugged in? I THINK NOT.”
Bitcoin now consuming as much energy as the entire country of Pakistan.
That seems bad.

The people at CBECI were kind enough to send me a copy of their updated Bitcoin power consumption data
At the end of 2024, Bitcoin's total consumption for 2024 *did* end up matching that of Pakistan. 2024 saw the biggest jump in power consumption ever. Absolutely wild stuff ->

This a big deal: "China’s carbon dioxide emissions have been flat or falling for 18 months"
China's economy has grown by ~5% in the last year, so this comprehensively debunks the idea (again) that emissions are tied to growth. So yes, faster progress needed, but this is how you turn the corner.

Really sick of all these ads on CBC Gem telling me to travel to Dubai when it’s illegal to be gay there. Is this really the kind of ad we want on our national broadcaster who’s supposed to represent all Canadians?

This government is horrible for Ontario and Ontarians
Per today's Queen's Park agenda, the Ford government will skip the committee stage for Bill 60 which will ban removing motor vehicle lanes for bike lanes or any other prescribed purpose. Just as they have done with speed cameras. #shame #BikeTO #TOpoli #ONpoli #VisionZero www.ola.org/en/legislati...

Erg. Physio wants me to add dumbbells which means a 10-min body weight workout at home turns into a 30–40-min commitment and only when the gym is open. And he’s changed his schedule so I can only see him in the morning before work when we had the perfect time. Don’t make me not want to do this 😣
