It's just really difficult to understand what this means. The first big caveat is that 1990s to 2010s stops at the financial crisis. Due to austerity the UK has since then seen the…

The article uses the same "tone" that we regularly use to write about the Romans - who crucified people, ritually strangled prisoners during their triumphs, kept slaves, and made p…

I'm sure there are plenty of bad actors who will keep spamming regardless. Thankfully those ones seldom get through my spam filter - so barely trouble my consciousness.

Loved that.

If they have such cheap power (nearly free minus maintenance and capital) from hydrothermal - why can't they convert it to electricity to power lamps? It's economic for Marijuana p…

I think he is being disingenuous. Maybe he started it as an experiment but it's obviously been all about the Benjamins for a long time (20-25 writers? $10000-30000 a month?).
