note that everyone is talking about the poor poor authors who have to receive moar royalties. not about that the workers producing, transporting, and the workers recycling the books DO get paid. these people only care for their own intelligenzija class.
I send an email once a month for work and include a corny joke to get people to actually open it. I saw this one @sundogplanets and thought of you:

As I was driving to work one day, I spotted a woman standing out in a large field next to a telescope. She wasn't using the scope, just standing next to it.
On my way home the same woman is there, just standing in a large field with a telescope.
This scene repeated itself for a few more days, every time I drove past this large field.

“The European Environmental Agency tells us that everything above 55 decibels is making us #sick,” [Dr. Thomas Münzel, a German cardiologist who is a leader in the growing field of scientific researchers measuring the impact of urban and industrial #noise on humans,] says. The fact that the #Granbury #Bitcoin mine is emitting 70 or even 90 decibels on a nightly basis is “like #torture,” he says.

@icedquinn i can't give you a formula, but rpm ahould be the rough equivalent
