A Moment was a medieval unit of time.
1 day was divided into 24 hours and 1 hour was equal to 12 lengths of the period from sunrise to sunset.
The hour was divided into 4 puncta, 10 minuta, or 40 momenta.
Considering an average 12 solar hours:
1 moment = 90 seconds ⏱

Let me attempt to blow your mind: “Now” travels at the speed of light.
When the light turns green, I don't concern myself with the fact that the light actually turned green a nanosecond earlier than I saw it. As far as the distances we're used to, “now” might just as well be universal.
On interstellar distances, you might expect that the lag start mattering. Except it really doesn't. Maybe Sirius isn't there anymore. Maybe it went supernova five years ago, and the shockwave is riding towards us as you read, and it will hit us in another three years. There's no way we'd know. We look up and see the old faithful Sirius sitting right where it's always been. And we can measure its gravitational influence on us and neighboring stars. There is no knowing it's actually gone, and that's because it actually isn't. To someone in the neighborhood of Sirius, the star is no more, but, to us, it still exist. “Existence” travels at the speed of light.
If the sun was spirited away by a species of prankster kardashev 3 aliens, it would keep “being there” for 8 minutes as far as we'd be concerned.
And those 10 billion light years away stars we see through our telescopes, they are there. Because we can see them.

Bitcoin miners major costs are electricity and cooling afford buying the hardware. The miners are heavily invented to find the lowest possible cost of energy in existence. With an incentive to lower the costs of mining, they are pushing the limits of using renewable resources at damns, solar, and wind. Beyond renewables you’re beginning to see smart use of miners working with energy companies to convert natural gas that has been getting flared (burned) and instead converting it to power min -

"I've always thought this a terrible precedent. Bodily Autonomy, the idea, that you get to decide what happens to your body, is one of the most inalienable rights I can imagine. While this does not completely negate that concept, it introduces the idea that the government now has that right, unless you assert it." comment on: https://newsinteractives.cbc.ca/longform/organ-donation-nova-scotia?fbclid=IwAR0Fv4Uv48pw1GygEHZb-9dY0dkcWJJyIWPgYt9lMfv0RK5VWHYVU-xxIlI WHY DOCTORS WILL NOT LET -

Australia is the exception though - they’ve taken a zero-Covid approach, where even a single case of the virus will throw an entire city into lockdown. They won’t risk a single case of Covid being introduced from abroad. -

The strength of the relationships between personality traits and conspiratorial ideation were modest to weak. “A major caveat of our study is that the results are correlational, precluding causal inference. It is still unclear what temporally precedes conspiratorial ideatio
