The carbon footprint of a single Bitcoin transaction easily exceeds the per passenger carbon footprint of a direct flight from New York to London.
On top of that the average e-waste generation per Bitcoin transaction is also equivalent to throwing away an iPad.

I have found myself in the _most bizarre_ conundrum today my friends, where i bought a second copy of Samurai Warriors 2 for Xbox 360, because my first copy doesn't work anymore for some reason, even though the disc looks totally fine and we gave it a good clean a while ago. …
… Only to find the second copy can't be read either!!
My X360 reads every other game I've thrown at it just fine – installed games, games from the disc, original Xbox games, discs in much worse condition than these ones. And I've tried both of my copies of SW2 on a different Xbox 360 and they don't work there either.
I can't just keep buying X360 copies of SW2 until one works. And we do have the PS2 version (and Xtreme Legends) if I want to play it that badly.
But this is just _so weird._ There's nothing visually wrong with either of the discs, and as far as I can tell the other PS2-era musou games I have on X360 work fine. Very strange situation.
I had occasion to refer to this page online today, so I took a quick photo.
"Gore, and Hazards of the Course" from Barbara Ninde Byfield's _The Glass Harmonica_. (Also reprinted as _The Book of Weird_.)
This is a strange literary treasure which really deserves to be available online somewhere.
