sixQuarkson Andrew McCalip demonstrates synthesis of LK99

Lol. You’re probably right

sixQuarkson Unconfirmed video showing potential LK-99 sample exhibiting the Meissner effect

Everybody has a smartphone these days. I’m not asking for a professional production.

sixQuarkson Unconfirmed video showing potential LK-99 sample exhibiting the Meissner effect

Why is everything surrounding this discovery seem so amateur? From the initial paper being so flimsy to all the "leaked" videos looking like it was taken by a monkey trying to learn how to video tape for the first time.

Like, is it that difficult to try to get a decent video of something that is life changing?

sixQuarkson Oregon decriminalized hard drugs – early results aren’t encouraging

Exactly, some cities don’t even allow smoking cigarettes in public parks, we can surely make it difficult to do hard drugs in public.

sixQuarkson Have attention spans been declining?

I was going to write a comment trying to motivate you to not be lazy, but procrastination is also up and I’ll just do it later.

sixQuarkson Have attention spans been declining?

Can someone summarize the above comment, attention span still too low to digest in one go

sixQuarkson Have attention spans been declining?

My attention span is too low to read the article. Can someone summarize it?

sixQuarkson Time is running out on the Climate Clock

You’re getting downvoted but you’re right

sixQuarkson Tesla on track to smash targets after producing almost a million EVs in 6 months

It is hard. But tesla is opening it up to the competition basically for free. It’s actually a bad move for tesla if you’re only concerned with profit, but it aligns with their mission of accelerating the transition to sustainable energy. People just find it hard to believe that a company that size actually cares about its mission

sixQuarkson Threads, an Instagram app

Couldn’t disagree with you more. Threads will be a flop.

The accounts that are most active/followed on Twitter are not the type of people that have Instagram accounts.

People with large followings are not going to simply switch, no matter how much they hate Elon.

sixQuarkson Google claims to have proved its supremacy with new quantum computer

Imagine trying to explain this article to a caveman, or even someone from 200 years ago.

sixQuarkson Self-driving cars are surveillance cameras on wheels

We’ll see how this comment ages in 5 years.

sixQuarkson Tesla on track to smash targets after producing almost a million EVs in 6 months

BYD sells a lot of cheap, golf cart like vehicles which get counted as sales

sixQuarkson Tesla on track to smash targets after producing almost a million EVs in 6 months

It’s funny that people have been coming out of the woodwork finally, realizing Teslas worth the valuation because of the charging station partnerships they’ve done recently. Those are actually meaningless and will contribute a very very tiny percentage of profits into the future. The reason Teslas valuation is so high is because people value it as an AI company which may dominate Robo taxis and humanoid robots in the future

sixQuarkson Submarine missing near Titanic used a $30 Logitech gamepad for steering

https://thedriven.io/2023/01/23/tesla-model-y-wins-2023-safe...

Using the euroncap ratings you used as an example, the model Y received the highest rating ever tested

sixQuarkson Submarine missing near Titanic used a $30 Logitech gamepad for steering

If safety is an accidental side effect, then why are no other electric vehicles ranked as high in safety?

sixQuarkson Titanic tourist submersible goes missing with search under way

No kidding. I would have insisted on going back up, I admit I'm not cut out for adventure at this scale.

sixQuarkson Titanic tourist submersible goes missing with search under way

Huge implosion at very high pressure. Would happen in milliseconds

sixQuarkson Inside the Wuhan lab weeks before Covid

It’s ridiculous that your comment has been downvoted. This is a great article. Those who defend Fauci and the establishment narrative do so with a religious fervor. No amount of reasoning or logic seems to get through to them.

sixQuarkson First people sickened by Covid-19 were scientists at WIV: US government sources

On the contrary, I am very familiar with the Twitter files. What is the controversy that you speak of?

sixQuarkson First people sickened by Covid-19 were scientists at WIV: US government sources

You’re very giddy to try to brush this under the rug. The truth is that big tech and Fauci colluded to suppress the lab leak theory, there are leaked emails that prove it. YouTube and Twitter were censoring and demonetizing channels that would talk about the lab leak theory. What do you have to say about that?

sixQuarkson First people sickened by Covid-19 were scientists at WIV: US government sources

Why do you say that? What evidence do you have that his reporting is suspect?

sixQuarkson Mercedes beats Tesla to autonomous driving in California

You've got that exactly backwards buddy. Tesla could easily offer the same thing, but why would they waste time with that BS? Mercedes 100% cannot offer full self driving on any street. What world are you living in?

sixQuarkson Inside the Wuhan lab weeks before Covid

In the beginning of the pandemic, I fell for Fauci's lies. I saw him as a pillar of truth and science against the backdrop of Trump's idiocracy. So, I can empathize with those who still think he's a good person, they have not been exposed to all the evidence of how he orchestrated lies and smears to cover up the lab leak theory, and how he funded the gain of function research that likely lead to the pandemic (even though gain of function was outlawed in the US). He even lied about it under oath. And why has nothing happened? Because big pharma is one of the biggest beneficiaries of the pandemic and they are the biggest advertisers on corporate mainstream media. The whole thing is sick and twisted. And I know this sound like a conspiracy nut to those who have not looked into this deeply, but it is what it is.

sixQuarkson Mercedes beats Tesla to autonomous driving in California

Because it's a party trick that requires a vehicle in front for tracking and can only be used under 40 mph on the highway. It's a joke.

I can do the same thing. Why can Tesla offer FSD beta which can drive around on any roads while Mercedes can't?

sixQuarkson Mercedes beats Tesla to autonomous driving in California

Anyone who is knowledgeable about the subject knows it is not. They’re not even in the same league, it’s really laughable.

sixQuarkson Mercedes beats Tesla to autonomous driving in California

I love reading the mental gymnastics the anti-Elon folks in here are doing to actually believe Mercedes has beat Tesla in autonomous driving.

sixQuarkson 10 years after Snowden's first leak, what have we learned?

Are you aware that there is a site that has posted all the photos from Hunter Biden's laptop? There are thousands of photos of him in very shady situations. You're telling me those are all made up and photoshopped?

Jimmy Dore show on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@thejimmydoreshow

Aaron Mate is a regular on his show.

Jimmy has been debunking the Russiagate conspiracy for years now. He's a comedian turned truth-teller. I stumbled across his show many years ago, and my honest first impression was that this guy looks like a shady used car salesman, so I was very skeptical of his claims. He will go into angry tirades often.

But after seeing enough of his segments, and seeing how things unfold over weeks and months, I realized he's actually legit. Whenever I see news unfold now on mainstream news, for example - the Nordstream pipeline being blown up and Russia being blamed for it, I know I will get a more accurate assessment of the truth from Jimmy Dore. And again, it's not that I take his word for it, I see how things unfold weeks and months later and turns out he was right.

Note: The left smears Dore as a right-winger. That's so bullshit. He's actually progressive and more left than the establishment left - antiwar, wants universal healthcare, pro-union pro-worker, free-speech. Dore was one of the first people to endorse and interview AOC when it looked like she was a legit anti-establishment lefty (that turned out to be wrong). The left doesn't like him because he criticizes them from the real left and reveals their hypocrisy and corruption.

sixQuarkson 10 years after Snowden's first leak, what have we learned?

Jimmy Dore has done a good job chronicling all that.
