More of a global depression after these yahoos purposefully crash the economy.

The plan is to repeal it first, and then figure out what to do from there.

Probably whatever makes the most money for insurance companies.

Except, even then, an average coal plant will release more radioactive material over its lifetime than Fukushima did.

It’s just Chernobyl that you have to top. And even then there are coal plants that come close.

Now, it’s not apples to apples. Coal plants release uranium and thorium. Not ceasium and strontium.

But yeah, never go swimming in a coal plant ash pit. For more than the obvious reasons.

Adding more radiation to tobacco. Sure.

But slightly serious here. The actual mechanism of about 75% of tobacco related cancer, is the fact that tobacco leaves bioaccumulate natural radioactive elements from the soil.

If you smoke, you have radioactive lead and polonium in your lungs.

Molten salt?

We can then use compressed CO2 in the place of steam to drive the turbine.

Is blue sky federated? I thought it was another closed garden. If slightly more open than Twitter.

Harris was the path of things slowly getting better. Wages finally overtaking inflation.

Given a couple years, we would all be in a better place.

Trump’s tariffs will drive up the price of everything. The last few years of inflation and greed will pale in comparison.

And egg prices will still go up.

Catastrophicly so.

No, it won’t change the minds of his base.

But there are people he wouldn’t consider his base, that also tend to vote conservative, who were actually offended by some of those jokes. And then realized that hey, Trump and company are white nationalists, and that means that no minority will be safe.

It’s a tiny minority of Trump supporters, but as close as this election could be, that’s more than enough.

Now, Trump is planning on stealing the election anyway. Via disrupting or delaying certification of votes past December 11th, Which then means that there will be incomplete slates of electors, which means the election goes to the House, and each State gets one vote instead of the house itself voting.

They’re going to try to use Section three of the 20th amendment.

If, at the time fixed for the beginning of the term of the President, the President-elect shall have died, the Vice President-elect shall become President. If a President shall not have been chosen before the time fixed for the beginning of his term, or if the President-elect shall have failed to qualify, then the Vice President-elect shall act as President until a President shall have qualified; and the Congress may by law provide for the case wherein neither a President-elect nor a Vice President-elect shall have qualified, declaring who shall then act as President, or the manner in which one who is to act shall be selected, and such person shall act accordingly until a President or Vice President shall have qualified.

Fun times to live in…

That one came out of left field.

Trump was taking a premature victory lap, and hires a comedian to warm up the warm up the crowd, and the proceeded exactly like Trump wanted.

And then everyone suddenly wakes up and says wait, these hate spewing assholes are actually hate spewing assholes.

All because one comedian didn’t use the code words.

but you need to supervise it because you are both responsible and because it’s not perfect

Not self-driving then. Words have meanings.

Then it’s not “Full self driving”. It’s at best lane assistance, but I wouldn’t trust that either.

Elon needs to shut the fuck up about self driving and maybe issue a full recall, because he’s going to get people killed.

The actual answer is at vaporization temperature. Which the satellite did not reach.

I like vector pinball as well.

Eh, it’s honestly safer than you’d think. The size of the reactor plays a huge role in safety.

A reactor sized for a container ship would be literally incapable of melting down, because there just isn’t enough fuel to get to those temperatures. You could then limit the ship’s speed, and over build the reactor a bit, so that the reactor is never truly stressed during normal operation.

Then for refueling, you just remove the entire reactor and replace it with a new, fully fueled one every 10 years or so.

That’s where you want your controls.

Other than that, yeah it would be safer than oil. A crash just means your reactor casing gets wet.

The main worry is someone cutting into the reactor to take out the spicy rocks… and there are easier ways to get spicy rocks.

Fun fact, -40C and -40F are the same temperature.

Then 575K and 575F are the same.

Columbus was a slave trader up and down the African coastline before he was sponsored to make his voyage in 1492.

He then enslaved the natives. It was his first response to meeting them. That included child sex slaves. This is an account from Columbus himself talking about how 9 and 10 year old girls were “in high demand”

He forced most of the people he captured to collect gold for him, or die, and then, because he didn’t actually have the means to feed the people he enslaved, he forced them to live on grass. Most of them starved to death.

There are accounts of slavers beheading their exhausted slaves rather than go through the effort of releasing them from the chain around their neck.

No, Columbus was a fucking monster, but Italian Americans of the late 1800s to Early 20th century wanted a “hero” so that the racist assholes would stop being racist toward them. So they appropriated Columbus as an Italian and whitewashed his crimes against humanity.

Why are people just repeating the same thing over and over?

Part of it was also the lack of canon. The ancient world didn’t have “one true version” of anything, it had the version at hand. Which was usually the version that the current (local) king wanted.

I’ve never worked with stainless, but I hear that it’s a pain in the ass. And then, if you have no coating on it, it still stains from touching all sorts of shit.
