As a kid, I remember three things about TMI. Sort of.

3 Mile Island is what really broke the US industry. Literally. It changed how plants are financed and that dramatically increased the cost of construction.

Well, that fact simplifies the matter. She needs a DeLorean with the Mr Fusion Option. It wouldn’t be out of her price range either. Go ahead and take it for a test drive, and carry all the cash you can in your purse. Then go back to 1985 and buy Apple, Microsoft stock.  Come back the day before the purchase day and…

There’s a company right now looking for investors for a nuclear plant in a container.  5 MWe that can be parked in your neighborhood when the lights go out.   I think licensing for this would be a complete nightmare, but it’s very feasible.

A big thing that has changed is funding. Back in the 1950s, Eisenhower dumped a lot of money into “Atoms for Peace” and the result was Fision power plants that aren’t uncommon in the Northern Hemisphere now and can produce power cheaply and reliable enough to have a chance of competing with fossil fuels (although cost…

And here’s the thing people don’t realize. Let’s say we had a million % tariff on all foreign products and strict laws that nothing could be sold in America that wasn’t made here. Yeah, the economy would implode and all that.

How about Chrysler and Commodore International.   So, you can have a company doesn’t make cars and is associated with 20 year old + products combine with a company that doesn’t make computers and is associated with a 40 year old product.

Another thing new thing Hotrodders have to learn.

Quantum computing has always been just over the horizon, just like Fusion.

Maybe true. But maybe not. It all depends on how things are setup There’s a lot of “hot rodding” going on and that control center might allow the battery to output much more kW than Chevy specified.

It’s what the article says.  It’s good for something like 70 miles as the odometer reads it, or about 18 feet IRL.

540 hp, RWD and around 1200 lbs.

Two key points.

When I’ve been overseas, Canadians always show off a Red Maple Leaf to make sure nobody thinks they are Americans.

The tartan (plaid) makes me think it’s Scottish. I do get that a LOT of Canadians trace back to Scotland, but without that knowledge, Scotland seems to fit better than Canada for this livery.

I saw this and it’s SUV variant a lot in South Korea about a 15 years ago when I visited. A lot of native South Korean cars at the time seemed to be designed with the brief, “Make it look like X, only weirder”

I would think so. When I was a kid, I loved Football and played it with the attitude of hitting another as hard as possible was the entire point. I literally can’t remember how often I got a concussion playing (guess at least a dozen times). The policy of coaches, refs and even other kids was to laugh at a kid…

European airports must be different than American ones.  I have a 2 drink limit on airport booze.  It’s called my credit card limit.

Especially if they are flying cheap to and from Spain.  I’ve read the stories.

Alcohol doesn’t change personalities, it reveals them. Some people are natural buttholes and alcohol reveals that. Some people have to work on being that way and the alcohol reveals that deep down, they aren’t jerks.
