That is grossly underestimating what a medium yield nuclear weapon would to the people of South Korea and Japan when Tokyo is medium range missile distance away and Seoul is 10 miles from the border.

It isn’t the means of death but the spectacle of it which is the problem. When the State finds it necessary to execute a citizen (or any one else for that matter) in full view of eager witnesses who are highly entertained, that’s crazy right there.

When a US President starts killing condemned prisoners with an anti-aircraft cannon, then you can call them crazy.

I’m reminded of this:

Time to get your spokes fixed, then, boy, because they do.

They have small fission devices. That’s not really up for debate.

Saw this play out over on Reddit this weekend. I really dislike this trend of moving the goalposts instead of just admitting the mistake. This seems to be a trend among the youtubers- Admit fault and amend with a BUT...

Regardless of the outcome, the sheer fact this is a possibility is part of the reason why I buy unlocked phones.

Quite right. The last thing we want in science is dissent or questioning.

Did this in any way involve you having to spin a wheel full of crazy story ideas (not to take away from the subject matter, as like you said is something not really covered) and then watch as the wheel slowly spun down and landed on this particular topic.

you don’t know what you’re talking about. this new aspect ratio will make it EASIER to hold in one hand (up to a point):

Bigger screens were already making it tough if not impossible for one-handed navigation. This will ensure that it’s impossible for pretty much everyone.

Cows and pigs reproduce much faster than whales, and they are at the far edge of the “least concern” category.

Nope, he’s right...you’re a moron.

Fact:

Beef is also *drastically* more expensive than it used to be. Back in 2011 (only because I wrote a post on it for some reason) chuck steak was $2.99/lb. Now it’s mostly double that. Hell, pretty sure that a decade ago I was buying it for $1.99/pound.

It’s not RAM, as it’s non-volatile, so more RAM wouldn’t replace this functionality. It’s more like a really small, really fast (faster than SSD, they claim) hard drive for your most frequently accessed files.

Interesting product in a very limited market. I’m also guessing a lot of these desktops already use the M.2 slot for a standard SSD.

Did the Times really say this???

Well the ship is in bad shape, there are more than one report of that. Though, its certainly a leap to go from that to “this just shows how bad we are off for icebreakers”. As far as I can tell from reading, there is no need for more than 2 heavy icebreakers in the fleet in addition to the medium one (healy) that we…
