Sigh now I’ve got the B5 season 5 crawl in my head. ‘President Clark declared marshal law today’

There’s an argument for some of this, as the US does need to keep ship building experience around and having no project means eventually we lose the skills to build it when we need it.

Also much harder to use point defense weapons against a shell versus a missile.

Not even a mobile phone, it’s some sort of internal system I’m betting, since getting data outside the park is hard, and Bernard had to use a dedicated room to have a conversation with his wife.

Jamie and Cersei came into this world together. They shall go out together.

And when one of them had a quicky marriage in Reno with a used car salesman/psycho, they let that guy take care of the children, until they eventually strangle them in Der Waffle Haus.

Flint’s just immortal, not godlike.

Nazi Germany had several Arctic outposts like this, they were all weather stations. The point is having weather information from this part of the Arctic allows them to track storms that will hit the North Atlantic and Baltic. Very important for their aircraft, as storms can kill as many airplanes as the RAF.

It’s more worth it if you’re behind on the various plot threads from the side series books. Its goal seems to be tie everything together for the final book out next year.

Bit of research shows this is pretty much just Russian Propaganda intended to make them look strong, and the lack of analysis here is kinda shameful.

‘The Geysers’ out near Sonoma has a capacity of thirty times Iceland’s power, and its been running for 50 years. The west coast has multiple locations generating a lot of power. The PNW could add more, but it’s not been needed due to hydro. 

20 Trillion.

It’s bigger on the inside.

Maybe if you’re trying to launch a big company and a new tech, you should be quiet on politics because its bad business?

I did have a Batmite pic that apparently didnt come along for the ride...

Batman’s rich history allows him to be interpreted in a multitude of ways. To be sure, this is a lighter incarnation, but it’s certainly no less valid and true to the character’s roots than the tortured avenger crying out for mommy and daddy.

This is what UN Spaceships look like.

Depends on how much more light we’re trying to get. And we also have the problem that such a mirror will be a solar sail.

The JWST mirrors are also insanely well made, with an insane quality control level by NASA which is why it took forever to get it launched (mirrors took a while to get right).

Jesus, every actor in that paragraph is now passed.
