But why would I use something that takes more effort and care?

I'm sure you're right and it's possible, but if I don't have to fix another python project at work I'll be in heaven.

Godammit I'm blind, i read that article as being from 2023 Hi I'm the doctor, how are you sheogorath pleasure to meet you.

Well you can hear the same song on repeat 272 times and not be autistic, but as far as I can tell, this could be one of the diagnostic criteria.

From time to time, there's some new K-pop that my wife goes crazy over, and every single car ride after that will have that song playing multiple times. It's not on loop only because I would consider throwing us off a cliff if the playlist didn't have at least 19 other songs on it. :)

Seems like it worked?

But that's just a happy little accident. Gabe is too much of a good guy, so he actually built a good distribution platform that also pushes for improvements for the whole ecosystem (like the Linux thing).

When he's gone, capitalism dictates that enshitification must ensue in order to squeeze out every single cent of short term profit, and we'll be screwed.

Oh I was wondering where you got the uranium for the glass...

It saddens me that we're here dealing with a push for obsolete, untenable solutions, and all the while, China keeps solving your "impossible issues" on the daily:

Out of context sure, but I mean, the dude had just asked about the timezone and all of the west coast is PST. But granted, if it was written in caps I'm sure it would have clicked instantly, pst is kinda weird.

Complimentary Q&A from your helpful lemmies.

Yeah the wings don't make any sense, but then again the optimal shape would probably be a cube and that's just so boring

AI post? The reply doesn't even make sense.

You could, but with that colossal amount of resources you could have built 12x in renewables, probably more because of economy of scale.

And if you decide to commit all those resources to renewables, you probably just created a booming local industry of well paying jobs.

And in those 6 years, you could have built over 6x that capacity in renewables, easy.

That's a lot of text, and yet, solving all of that is easier, faster and less expensive than nuclear.

I've considered it, some renewables installation jobs I've seen are extremely well paid.

Just wondering how that staff works, will they have to go picking through dragon poo to get all of meemaw, Dungeon Meshi style?

Oh I see, thank you. But a bottom what?

That's the fun of out of context comics. This one doesn't state that the goal is to replace the sun, but to equal its brightness.

Suppose batman has a new sun-powered gadget, except well he's Batman so it needs to work at night. But he'd need 455000 moons to pull that off, and yet he does it somehow.

I'd read that comic...

Why not? There's a bunch of applications where that is a requirement.

The Lunar Laser Ranging experiments are a fun one, I think. Scientists shoot lasers at mirrors placed in the moon and measure the trip time of light to calculate the distance of the moon to the millimetre.

However:

Out of a pulse of 3×10E17 photons aimed at the reflector, only about 1–5 are received back on Earth, even under good conditions.

Too small, but an interesting example.

In many countries, and across history, universities are the breeding ground of anti-establishment protests. Young people with a strong desire to change the world, not yet shackled by the burdens of society and all that.

Except that in the US, students are chained down with massive debt they can't escape from, so that they can be kept on a leash.
