I have a bit going with my kids where we come up with a new meaning for the acronym every time we see one. “It stands for Bring Your Dog”, “It stands for Bully Your Dad” etc.

I love them all equally

Americans will ban you from Lemmy if you do

Honestly any/all Yanquí pop culture can be assumed to carry hegemonic brainwashing

is this true?

Regenerate your population then, if you’re so smart.

I’ve had dinner with gangsters and murderers.

There’s better criticisms of Pinker.

I don’t like guilt by association.

I’ve been avoiding most internet because I have no temptation to hear the opinions of idiots.

Two people who aren’t Ukrainian, don’t speak Ukrainian, have never read a book about Ukraine trying to make their opinion on Ukraine win an argument? No thanks, not my choice of pastime.

Maybe I’m part of a trend? People have seen through the slapfights and are ready for something else?

I want to learn from experts, not tabloid comment-sections. e.g. this is good content - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dhn3ssSH4nY - look at her CV, she has a right to speak.

Probably Cybernetics by Wiener is the basic text?

The hole in this theory is that the lyrics are very clearly about taking a flight back there.

Talk to people, make eye contact, etc.

Internet says: “A standard cord of well-seasoned hardwood (stack of wood 4’X 4’X 8’ or 128 cubic feet) contains the heat equivalent of about 20 million BTU’s. By way of comparison this is more or less equivalent to the heat value in 145 gallons (3.38 barrels) of #2 fuel oil or 215 gallons of LP gas (5.119 barrels).”

As a rule of thumb, you can sustainably harvest one half to one full cord (128 cubic feet or 4’x4’x8′) of firewood per acre per year.

1 short ton (2,000 pounds) of coal (consumed by the electric power sector) = 18,820,000 Btu. Therefore, an acre of forest is like a tonne of coal a year.

Great Britain used 75 to 275 million tonnes of coal per year 1860-1980 (More precise figures in a spreadsheet here tell the same story: https://www.gov.uk/government/statistical-data-sets/historical-coal-data-coal-production-availability-and-consumption)

Great Britain is 60 million acres, so even at 100% forestation it wouldn’t equal coal, but could contribute.
