This might have something to do with it:

The first country to have a reactor could “declare a keep-out zone which would significantly inhibit the United States,” the directive states, a sign of the agency’s concern about a joint project China and Russia have launched.

Unexpectedly, it doesn’t seem like this is a primarily technical decision.

In a 1996 Rolling Stone interview, when asked if he could go back and choose a more culturally acceptable name for the band, Haynes replied, “I would name the band: I’m Going to Shit in Your Mother’s Vagina.”

Fucking legend

Please put an NSFW tag on this. I was on the train and when I saw this I had to start furiously masturbating vomiting. Everyone else gave me strange looks and were saying things like “what the fuck” and “call the police an ambulance”. I dropped my phone and everyone around me saw this image. Now there is a whole train of men masturbating vomiting together at this one image. This is all your fault, you could have prevented this if you had just tagged this post NSFW.

Fuck, flag as NSFW next time

It’s really dark if the Polymarket tweet is real.

Looks ok to me using Voyager.

Shane Tamura, a Las Vegas casino security worker, was carrying a handwritten note in his wallet that claimed he had chronic traumatic encephalopathy, known at CTE, investigators said. He accused the league [NFL] of hiding the dangers of brain injuries linked to contact sports.

Sure - they’re claiming to do two very difficult things simultaneously (net positive fusion and transmute mercury to gold at scale) which makes me even more skeptical. It’s like saying “Not only can pigs fly, but we’ve taught them to simultaneously do calculus.”

This article says (5 tonnes/yr) per GW produced. It’s a fusion reactor, so it’s making electricity, not consuming it.

At $0.05/kWh, 1 GWh of electricity is $438 million. At $3400/troy ounce, 5 tonnes of gold is $545 million. So that jives with the company’s estimate on the article that the sale of gold could double their revenue.

All bunk, of course

Also the one where he was shopping at the supermarket (complaining about the number of options) and the one where he was looking for Hobbes in the woods in the “Yukon Ho!” storyline.

Without fail with posts like these, the recent history of the poster contains someone lightly critizing a hot take of theirs. Let’s see if the pattern holds this time…

I’m still batting one thousand

Worse - agreeing with him, or saying it makes them like him better. It seems like an awful mix of edgelords and actual racists.

I read a few of those replies… holy crap Twitter sucks

Thanks! I’ll check it out

Any updates? Inquiring minds want to know

“Werewolves of London” and “All Summer Long”

The job posting uses the word “obsess” twice - no frigging thank you

Unless I’ve misunderstood, what OP proposed is just increasing the tax rate of the existing system.

A progressive tax doesn’t result in earning less for working harder; it’s only the marginal income that’s taxed at the higher rate. So a worker who goes from making $50,000 to $60,0000 only pays 15% tax on $10,000 and has a net take home increase of $8,500.

Thanks for the offer - I used to live in Philly, so have seen a few around. I stumbled on my first while walking through a sketchy part of Port Richmond.

I would not have guessed that source of your name - after reading the Toynbee tiles Wikipedia page I would have guessed the historian, Bradbury story, or Clarke story.
