His extra excuse there was also hilariously shit : people were so mean to Kavanaugh, accusing him of sexual assualt that the FBI did not investigate, that his previous promise was now invalid because of the lack of decorum.

A bullshitter forever and ever.

Teeth? What you too good to slide the flat side of your dick under there and think of england like the rest of us?

Spoon has a built in fulcrum.

There is nothing preventing these cartels from retaliating in kind.

Drones are not difficult to source or build, and these orgs have weapons, manpower and 100s of billions of dollars.

They have nowhere near the arsenal of the US military, but this isn’t an 800lb guerilla vs a toddler. This is an 800lb guerilla vs a 100lb guerilla. That small guerilla is still going to wreck unimaginable havoc in the US if the two fight.

The president has some leeway, but our support for Ukraine was because we passed laws to support them.

The Trump admin cant pass any laws. Its why they are trying to go all in on executive power, even when its illegal. They lack legislative power due to a fractured congress, even in their own party.

They barely control the house, and many republicans actually want to support Ukraine. and will not be able to sanction Ukraine or materially support russia.

So that’s a fusion reactor, not fission reactor like SMR. It’s both way, way better and way further away than SMR.

I applaud all of them making headway, but none of them are anywhere near as useful as actual solar and actual batteries that are being actually deployed in mass now.

There is nothing wrong with trying to make this work, but a more accurate statement is that the US has failed in its initial efforts to develop SMRs, and the outlook is grim.

With the DOE being gutted and no current commercial path forward, this state is unlikely to change in the near term in the US.

None of the US based SMRs have been successful, even with hundreds of millions of funding and regulatory approval from the DOE.

Briana Boston has not been tried or sentenced. When did she get 15 years?

The charge is egregious enough. There is no reason to make things up.

Most test animals have a great deal of similarities to humans, white mice specifically.

He also murdered her.

It’s unlikely that you would get a dowry if you also murdered the peasant women. With how unjust Indians law enforcement is, you likely would not face the same scrutiny though.

These little bribes are very common in the US. Shops/restaurants give cops free food/drinks to stay on their good side, and so the cops will “patrol” the area more.

Yup, this was a ban wave that hit Linux desktop and Steamdeck players.

Have a problem? Use xargs.

Now you have two problems.

This is “geothermal anywhere”, not bog standard geothermal. They use drilling tech developed by the oil and gas industry to dig far past normal thresholds, making geothermal way more viable.

It’s a pure baseload tech with no nuclear downsides. Current projections are that it could supply roughly 20% of all US power. A perfect compliment to solar/battery, and still faster and cheaper than nuclear, SMR or otherwise.

Still nothing to say about Hanford, huh?

Ha, uses a modified stonetoss comic to reply to me and doesn’t address any issues I just brought up in the previous comment. Neato. Glad to know you dont have any answers to nuclear waste either. Youre in good company.

Im pro nuclear, but I am also pro basic math. Solar/battery are cheaper and way faster to build, and designed correctly, offer equivalent baseline loading as nuclear. It’s a no brainer to back burner any nuclear project for solar/battery, and that’s exactly what’s happening.

Im glad this reactor finally got finished. Im also glad China is building nuclear. With its directed economy, total disregard for local and global ecology and totalitarian government, they can streamline nuclear deployments in a way that makes them viable. When they are done and they offline all the coal and oil plants they have also built, it will be a good thing. For the rest of the world, and especially the US with its wide open and near endless federal land, solar/battery makes the most sense.

The only real competition is “Enhanced geothermal.” There is a 400MW plant that is being built in Utah right now that should come online in 4 years. If they can stay on target, then nuclear is really fully dead.

Perovskite are iterating through many different materials as the science settles on them, but one of the positives is that the materials aren’t nearly as rare.

you can fit all the nuclear waste in the world in one football field

This is not true because of radioactive waste water, containment vessels and spent fuel rods, all of which are highly radioactive along with your football field of actual spent fuel, but okay.

If we could do this or something like it, why haven’t we? Is it because no one on earth wants that football field? Is it because we tried this at sites like Hanford, Washington and its been a half century of ecological disaster?

People undersell just how destructive the entire radioactive waste cycle is. Nuclear is way, way better than coal and oil, but solar/batteries kick its teeth in here.

Solar panels can be made of many different types and volumes of material. First solar, the largest manufacturer in the US, uses a differenr process than chinese panels for example. Perovskite solar cells, which are not just yet ready for prime time but are advancing rapidly, don’t use any.

Nuclear power has its own mining and rare material problems, in the form of uranium. You have to dig into the earth for it, and then after you use it, poison part of the planet forever. We still dont know what to do with all the nuclear waste we alrwady made.

Not exactly an ecological win.
