There's a whole conspiracy regarding Covid that RFK Jr. is blathering about. Supposedly this data breach targeted Jews and Chinese folks. I'm assuming that it's related in some way, but it's not clear how.

There's going to be a lot of conservative men clamoring for UBI, or more likely, cutting off their own nose to spite their face.

The whalebone hoop-skirt industry would like to vociferously disagree!

I was at Buckingham Palace watching The Queen's ghost welcome a diplomatic party of chupacabras from Jalisco. I didn't even take my phone with me. I'm that stupid.

The radioactive component is mostly tritium. As long as they get almost all of the heavy radioactive elements, the hydrogen isotopes are basically harmless in the quantities we're talking about here. The ocean is a very, very big place.

I think you know what he meant, or are you claiming that the "someone" was part of a secret US military program and died in action?

Beyond just trying to maintain a reaction, we'll need a design that allows for the extraction of working energy. At present, all designs require tons of additional energy to keep them cool. We're very far from any design that is power positive in a real sense. Any time you ask one of the fusion fanboys about this there's a lot of hand waving, but I've never seen any actual proposals to extract working heat from the reactor. Any designs that require supercooling are especially problematic. It's really difficult to extract heat capable of turning a turbine through the supercooled magnetic containment.

Fusion will happen, but not before a whole lot more money and time (in decades) disappears into the money pit.

When websites start blocking clients that don't implement the wei handshake, you'll be forced to use one that does if you want to visit those sites. Firefox will either adopt it or become a second rate browser.

Ah, but this is on a different scale than in countries without a free press. The press in the US is free to ignore the government's information or to run a counter message. This happens every hour of every day.
