Holy defeatism, Batman!
I’m a govt. contractor. I will retire the day before he’s swarn in. I’m not sure what I’ll do beyond that. A lot of Americans already retire to Costa Rica or Panama. I’ll have to decide whether to run away or stay & resist.
Spook = ghost (aka a soul unhoused a living body)
This can only be proved by killing everyone.
I don’t find this creepy at all. All the “personalities” in my brain are just parts of me.
In other news… I lost the game.
Not while fusion is 30 years away. They’ll wait until it’s closer to 2 years.
A reactor that produces enough of its own fuel… It’s starting to sound like a perpetual motion machine.
It was 30 years away in the 1950s and still is.
Controlled fusion is harder than we thought & may be harder than we think.
Stay in school kids. Study Physics & Engineering!
This is how we arrive at the “always 30 years away” trope.
Once the top 1% are eaten, there will be a (slightly poorer) new top 1%. We’ll eat them. Eventuallt we will all rise to the top and be eaten. Thus, the circle of life will continue.
We still don’t know anything other than wild hand waving speculation about the eventual costs of fusion power. The ultimate solution may require a ton of unobtanium-spice alloy that has been tempered in a midoclorian bath. We have no F-ing clue what it’ll cost. But I can guarantee that there will be state sponsored conspiracy theories about all aspects of it. So let’s wait before we start fighting over the conspiracies. They are not ripe yet.
It’s wwaaaaaaaayyy to soon to be speculating about power bills. A practical power plant is probably still about 30 years away.
We don’t know that it will be cheaper. We still don’t really know that it will be possible.
What is failure-to-deliver? A woman who stays pregnant fo the rest of her life?
For adding specificity to lamguage. If you are talking about several people, the disambiguation can be handy.
We could have add pronouns that distinguish by size, or age, etc.
The really stupid feature of most indo-european is the arbitrary gendering of most nouns.
