Have you seen it when the live feed jams up with 'number games' posts?

Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.
Have you seen it when the live feed jams up with 'number games' posts?Yeah, that's him. I find him fun.
Are any of you familiar with the discussion around "planetary boundaries?" There are 9 of them, some are resources, some of environmental/ecological conditions. They were originally published in Science: Planetary boundaries: Guiding human development on a changing planet | Science. The paper proposes that there are "tipping points" beyond which our impacts will have fundamental and possibly irreversible effects. Climate change is only one of them.
There is a summary, without the usual image, at The 9 limits of our planet … and how we’ve raced past 4 of them and a presentation on Wikipedia that also includes responses and more references: Planetary boundaries - Wikipedia-
The discussion looks entirely at the technical/scientific aspects, not social ones.
Kate Raworth of Oxfam added the human and social dimension, that in my mind poses a greater challenge than the technical/resource ones - that of just distribution of the benefits of God-given resources among people, in pursuit of His Kingdom on earth. (She does not push this faith-oriented dimension in the paper but it seems very much in line with Christ's teachings.) You can download a copy at https://www.oxfam.org/sites/www.oxfam.org/files/dp-a-safe-and-just-space-for-humanity-130212-en.pdf.
Way back in the discussion there was mention that prices will push oil and coal out of the picture. In quite a few countries now, solar energy is cheaper per kWh than either oil or coal. Gas/petrol and diesel prices vary a lot from country to country so what is true in USA is not necessarily true elsewhere, and vice versa. Those countries that have higher oil-based fuel costs are investing a lot in renewables and many will reach higher proportions of total energy sourced in renewables much sooner that countries like USA and Canada. Since renewables are almost always local, this also means less vulnerability to disruptions in foreign energy supplies.

Yeah, many of them point to 2030 as the cut off point. Interestingly that is also when robots are supposed to be able to take over the world (possibly). Not kidding, look it up. But don't worry about any of that because it's all part of the tribulation. Oh and Jesus returns in 2029.
So robots will gain consciousness approx. in 2030? Please provide a source for that prediction.
So instead of the critters described in Revelation we will have Arnold Swarzeneggers mowing us down? Quaint interpretations.
No,but that's a really funny thought. "I'll be back"
Here's one of the 'sources' but the are many as it relates to 'Moore's Law' Moore's law - Wikipedia :

It hard sometimes on the internet to know if someone is serious or not but I liked the 'I'll be back' retort.Say! Those are really interesting videos and other sources! I'll be back after viewing them.
Oh, yes.Does He know that?
I just watched the first one concerning the micro chipped brain. Curiously I wrote a novel in which brains were microchiped in that manner. Never imagined that I would see the day that it would be just around the corner. Weird how society can be profoundly changed via technological innovations of this kind. Even the concept of what constitutes being human is affected since those being micro chipped are endowed with what appear to be superhuman mental abilities as opposed to those who aren't.It hard sometimes on the internet to know if someone is serious or not but I liked the 'I'll be back' retort.
Say, in that case you might want to watch some of my personal End Times selection:I just watched the first one concerning the micro chipped brain.

BTW
I appreciate all videos which are entertaining and informative. The "I'll be back" and the "say" which is in reference to the "Say! That is a nice motorcycle!" were just bantering allusions and not meant as retorts..

This is my favourite (I think).
Six more degrees of temperature increase and we go beyond the tipping point.Man's contribution to greenhouse gasses are negligible, and without those gases we'd be incinerated. I have no problem with investigating all energy sources, but for the time being, nothing can replace oil.
-_- even if global warming isn't a thing, it's still valid to increase our use of renewable energy sources over ones which will run out. Burning coal and gasoline still makes the air quality drop, which has resulted in an increase in asthma attacks, especially in children.

Why?$$$$$$$$$$$ $$$$$$$$$$$$ $$$$$$$$$$$$ $$$$$$$$$$$ $$$$$$$$$$$ $$$$$$$$$$$ $$$$$$$$$$$$$$ $$$$$$$$$$$$$ $$$$$$$$$$$ $$$$$$$$$$$ $$$$$$$$$ $$$$$$$$$$$$$ $$$$$$$$$ $$$$$$$$$$$ $$$$$$$$$$$ $$$$$$$$$$$$ $$$$$$$$$$$$$$ $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$This video provides a very informative explanation about what would occur once our oil runs out and concerning the alternatives that might be employed in order to get mankind on its feet once more industrially. The question is if indeed algae is the solution as the video indicates, why not being the shift over to it now? Why wait for a disaster to strike?
Such ignorance seems to give them the impression that our present way of life which depends on the depletion of oil which is non-renewable is a permanent condition when it is indeed a temporary one soon to come to a sudden end with disastrous consequences unless we take precautionary action now.
