Correction: I will use it once.

Still, if they want to spend the time to program things that I will enjoy once if at all before forgetting about and never using again, I won’t argue.

Private America!

I always figured at that point your into some kind of neural interface business.

I dunno. having a game of chess built into a messenger all my friends have might prove fun

The only thing I hate more than when Boomers crapping on my generation is when some of us go and make a big show of proving them right.

Please don’t patent this. Then all the assholes will just buy Android phones to ruin concerts with.

It looks like a pretty standard absorption refrigeration cycle with the heat provided by a solar concentration of some kind. If you google “Solar Absorption Refrigerator” I bet you’ll find what your looking for

Is it fair to a kid that another kid with worse grades got in because they weren’t white? No. Would it be fair to kids who get in if their classmates were almost all white and asian? Also no. Life’s not fair: Shit happens - wear a hat. Schools have to do whats best for their students. fair shouldn’t have anything to…

Lets just get this out in the open: This isn’t going to be a good movie. Neither because of or in spite of the gender swapping of the cast. That was an interesting idea that they could potentially have gotten some mileage out of, but lets look at the trailers and be honest. This isn’t gonna turn out any better than…

I gotta agree to disagree. I mean, beleive me, I’d LOVE an actual office (so i wouldnt have to listening to the two women on either side of me shouting gossip to each other) but for the kind of work I do, having a distraction free space to hunker down and think through problems, while not needing to be at the level in…

Seriously. Cubicles get a bad wrap. I love my cube. Beat the ever living crap out of the “Open floorplan” offices I worked before.

You don’t think the New York Times has wealthy enemies? any outlet worth it’s salt does. The difference is that when the New York times gets a court order, they don’t thumb their nose at it, beat their chest and say “then sue me whydontcha” to the whole damned internet. This isn’t some holy war for the soul of online…

Second! Third! Fourth! Whatever!

People don’t want a lot of things. You’re right though. it doesn’t matter to a lot of people that at present nuclear energy is safer (In terms of attributed deaths per watt) than wind by a factor of 4 and Solar by an order of magnitude. Nor do they care about the fact that it’s not physically possible make a nuclear…

There’s actually a lot of fascinating research being done in the private sector, even though the Public sector of nuclear research got squashed a while ago. Check out NuScale and their whole small modular factory built design

I dunno. Hell in Idaho they built a test reactor they couldn’t melt down, and they tried thoroughly and repeatedly (The shit you could get away with in the 70's right?). Nuclear energy isn’t a security problem. It’s an engineering problem, and one we happen to have solved. Sadly threes a pesky public perception…

that...actually makes a lot more sense given your comment.

Silver bullet, no. certainly not. But it is a tool in the box, and a powerful one at that (There are resons it’s the largest carbon free energy source in this country and the most rapid energy infrastructure expansions in the world have all been when countries enacted nuclear policies) When you’re in a burning house,…

So. You just made it abundantly clear that you have no idea how nuclear energy, or the electricity market work. Thanks for the heads-up on your ignorance.

They should nail him on providing immaterial aid to terrorists or something in that vein. I mean, he’s a US serviceman publicly endorsing an attack on US citizens by someone claiming to do it in the name of ISIS....My goodness that sounds a lot like treason.
