… Who’s paying for the electricity to run the crypto miner?

Oh, I like this!

the Arcade Mall in Providence, Rhode Island

lmao. I can’t be the only person who finds it amusing that this is like half a mile from the mall that Michael Townsend’s group built that secret apartment in.

In addition to whatever power bank(s) you end up buying, you might consider getting a portable solar charger. I’ve used mine in like 3 different power outages, either because the outages were extended or my power banks had slowly lost charge over the winter.

I got one with like four charging ports which was nice because I could charge my phone and recharge my power banks and USB lantern at the same time.

Here’s a much more detailed article on the conference. The UN news article notes that it passed with

a small group of just seven countries holding out, having failed to pass a last-minute amendment.

Apparently, Russia proposed a last-minute amendment that “[the UN] system shall not intervene in matters which are essentially within the domestic jurisdiction of any State”. Agreeing with Russia were Iran, Belarus, North Korea, Nicaragua, Sudan and Syria. Apparently an additional fifteen countries abstained, but I couldn’t find a list of them.

Oh, very nice!
