i’m sure the techbro right actually believes this

because otherwise how are they going to take over the MIC if the I part evaporates

before vegans get excited they can still generally eat chicken. for some reason they all want boneless chicken thighs (i work at a place that sells food). we can tell when it’s a “tick people” order

yeah. new kinds of horrors, we’re playing all the greatest hits of the 20th century and creating new terrible innovations

here comes the war internment camps 2.0

Seems like it’s just a shorter Freeze. I think the current debate is more Big Rip vs. Big Freeze. the Crunch is currently mathematically impossible

you might be right but i hope you’re wrong

I know I follow it as much as I can. They will absolutely be the nation to do it (assuming there isn’t some final, impossible barrier to practical energy production).

And they will lead the 2nd industrial revolution or whatever we end up calling it. I think that’s why there’s so much desperation from the U.S. and the west to go to war. It’s not purely because they do capitalism better then capitalists. It’s because they are on the verge of this energy revolution (bye bye oil, petrodollar, hello commercial reactors in Africa and South America, mutual relationships, etc)

i think it will be but only decoupled from capitalism and it’s incentive structures entirely. Even if just as efficient as the average fission reactor (which are also not particularly “profitable”) the safety and potentially unlimited fuel supply once spun up would make it superior. It will have a potentially fragile fuel cycle at first. And it will never be as quick to deploy as a good solar panel or simple to make as a water wheel or basic generator, this will require an advanced and forward thinking and planning state apparatus.

But there is the potential for scale. scale that could only be matched by a hypothetical megastructure like a space based solar array.

and even if it turns out to truly be a bust for effective power generation there is always use as an advanced space drive

The first nation to actually pull this off will be equivalent to the first to the industrial revolution or oil refining.

it would be so cool to have new bridges and stuff. alas

excellent summary Mr. Marks

Yeah that sucks. rather buy something from a chinese worker owned co-op but i also have few monies and can’t afford the 400% markup

They make kits with different types of plugs.

And yes I also would get one. the only american car that remotely interests me is that bare bones electric mini truck coming out (maybe) next year.

lol love the “we have total confidence in our good boy” while simultaneously scrambling to find replacement

you know you can just smoke/vape 5x less material, right? i’m personally not a fan of the “high THC-A % at all costs” commercial grows and there is a wonderful variety of 3% or less CBD hemp or type 2s with 4%

ooo nice this would be perfect for work in these 15 minute chunks

the forgetting words and particularly names parts sometimes scares the hell out of me. i’m not that old but i’m like “is this early onset dementia”

when Comet or the NWS site go offline <redacted>

wallstreetbets is one of the few places on reddit where you can see some genuine discussion outside the astroturf/Elgin botnet.

you just have to ignore the casual ableism and veneer of “4-chan, but lib”. they don’t sound like redditors there.

gotta suck up to the incoming administration to get put on the “Tariff Exception List”.

damn NYPD is going to have to put an overwhelming majority on their terrorist watchlist now
