@nprofile1q... 100% 👍

Every stockist of actual ac is sold out, and could sell their stuff for twice the price if they had some.
Any bargain offer is a scam, especially if it’s long, glossy, and has ‘Nasa scientists’ involved.
Too many folks believe adverts can’t tell flat-out lies - well, welcome to ai-written scams on social media.

@nprofile1q... Nothing is illegal if no-one dares to prosecute.

@nprofile1q... Did you come across any serpentinite vases in the museum?

@nprofile1q... Probably a good time to start a moneylaundering investigation on all the directors and persons of significant control on all of these companies.

@nprofile1q... I’d like to know exactly who is pushing this timewasting rubbish on the ministerial side.

@nprofile1q... If you put your physics hat on for a moment, and multiply up the temperature change, the specific heat capacity of water, and the volumes involved, you get a eye-wateringly frightening amount of energy.

Which we’ve rapidly pushed into a heat engine that we don’t understand, and which will take at least as long to slow as it did to accelerate.
