Illegally smuggle someone … then arrest them for illegal smuggling. Projection much?

Your effort is much appreciated! Do you manually choose a book from the github list of books or did you come up with some logic to choose one randomly?

I wanted to post this as reply on slashdot but I can’t be bothered to email for an account.

If someone can produce a carbon neutral synthesized fuel at a price even close to that of petroleum fuels then they will have all the money. A lot of people are looking to do just that.

Comstock fuels / Bioleum is a company planning to build a plant to convert biomass into fuel products. Their first plant is supposed to have an annual capacity of 400k barrels of gas gallon equivalents at an initial capital cost of ~300m. Supposedly they could produce ~3500gge(gas gallon equivalents) per acre of land with the right crops grown. I hope if/when they get it going that they don’t just sell it to the oil companies for greenwashing efforts, but instead actually try sell it to the end-user. The executives of it seem keen on integrating with the oil industry which seems kinda questionable from a business standpoint since they will both be fuel suppliers and therefore competitors.

The pricing will be key but that is unknown at this point. But I did see that their planned operating income was about $2 per gge which might be competitive with fossil fuels depending on the expenses for feed crop, labor, and maintenance.

If he was left-wing, this would be prosecuted (and propagandized by the media) as terrorism.

Tbf I still wouldn’t call it “violent,” violent and peaceful are not a binary choice, things can be not peaceful but also not violent. I’ll accept that wasting tea isn’t peaceful, but you’ll never convince me it’s violent.

Yep, That’s like the point I made in another comment. I only originally implied that the tea party wasn’t peaceful(using sarcasm), that doesn’t mean I thought it was violent.

At this point I’m suspecting you’re just criminally British and see assault against tea as the highest form of treason, or should I say teason.

Is what I get for not putting the /s with the obvious sarcasm? smh

If it makes you happy to imagine me as an ye old British tea enjoyer outraged about tea parties 300 years ago go for it lol.

The commenter I replied to. I was using a hypothetical situation to refute his claim that the tea party was peaceful. Violent actions aren’t always unjust and vis versa.

Good point about how these protests aren’t really violent. I think there’s a distinction between peaceful and violence. Property destruction is not peaceful behavior but it is not necessarily violent or always morally unjustified in my opinion. Context matters with violence a lot.

Relevant quote- “If you’re not careful, the media will have you hating the people who are being oppressed and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” - George Carlin

I didn’t mention them at all. I was using sarcasm to show how ridiculous it is to claim destroying stuff is peaceful. As for right now, I think a lot of yelling and a little bit of property damage is a whole a very valid even if tame response to violent kidnapping of your neighbors.

So if some random group comes in your home and throws all your stuff outside in the rain to destroy it, According to you they are being peaceful? Very peaceful behavior, Indeed.
