I think that’s probably true for low temperature reactors. If higher temperature gas or metal reactors become available in the future I think it could be a real bonanza for a place like Texas for direct heating applications in the petrochemical industry (imagine how mad green peace would be over a nuclear heated oil refinery).

They will probably just tie voter id requirements to all kinds of federal money and force states to implement it that way

I agree and would add that the federal government already has lots of experience issuing hspd-12 id cards to their employees and contractors (these include the ability to load certs on them so you could even get nice public key infrastructure), they could just run essentially the same system in parallel

Thanks, I ultimately ended up getting one of these (came down to the fact that the i3s are half on Amazon right now)

Do roombas actually work now? Id love to get one but still have memories of the early generation units which where pretty much worthless on carpet. My place is small (1200 square feet) and a mix of carpet and tile.

I found the Rogan interview to be pretty boring, although trumps speech to the Chicago economic club was actually pretty interesting.

I think your wrong about football coding low status, I mean have you seen how expensive nfl tickets are? Plenty of wealthy high status people enjoy attending them

I got dumped a few weeks ago, and while I there where some other issues I don’t think she could see past the fact that I’m not a progressive

Oregon has actually amended this law and you are allowed to pump your own gas now!

I think is a miss reading of history. Africans where enslaved because they where the most convenient population available that European powers could enslave. Native populations where often enslaved first, but this wasn’t sustainable because there weren’t very many of them and they died very quickly from exposure to diseases from the old world. Asians where not enslaved because there wasn’t any short route to Asia and Asian polities where powerful enough to resist Europeans until the ~1850s.

Oh I didn’t realize that! I guess I’m just on a low enough dosage (I use the 1 mg habitrol losanges he’s) not to notice.

If you are going to use nicotine why not just use losanges? I not really endorsing it but surely is cheaper than zyn..,

I agree, I really think a lot of it is just cope, trump thought he had it in the bag after the combination of getting shot at, the debate and the high coming out of the rnc. I don’t think that Kamala is particularly great but a lot of people don’t like trump and the fact that he is really starting to show his age isn’t helping either.

I think it has more to do with the unemployment rate, I mean oil is staying relatively calm. Edit just read down thread about the carry trade that had been going on.

You don’t even need the ic, just making employers use e-verify would solve this problem

I don’t think that kind of psyop is possible now that Elon owns twitter, they really would need absolute control over the narrative to pull something like that off now, and I just don’t see them getting that.

I think it’s worth pointing out that pipe bombs were placed outside the nrc as well. Which makes this whole effort to assert that it was some sort of false flag operation seem ridiculous https://www.fbi.gov/wanted/seeking-info/suspected-pipe-bombs-in-washington-dc

I’m not entirely sure if he can, based on the Supreme courts ruling on presidential immunity (which in effect says that a president cannot be prosecuted for official acts), I’m not sure what the outcome of a sel pardon would be (at a minimum it would end up in court and cost a lot of money).

I bet that they are both taking a low dose of methylphenidate or Dexedrine. Methylphenidate would be a good choice since I don’t think it’s tested for on a standard 5 panel test.

I made the same “mistake” on novo nordisk and passed it up for the same reasons
Mine definitely degraded with time but did not fail (my catalytic converter went which was ultimately what caused me to ditch the car). mpg went from around 55 at 200 k miles to 42 mpg at 200 k miles). I knew someone who refurbished his battery which cost him relatively little to do (he did it himself). The batteries used to just be a bunch of nicad cells in series and when a battery “went bad” it’s usually just a few cells which can be replaced (cheap to diy, I don’t even know if it’s a service most shops would do).
I’m also unsure how this works with newer Priuses since I think Toyota switched all of their hybrids to lipo batteries in 2016.

The Prius really is a fantastic car! My first car was a 2004 model, had over 300k miles on it when it finally died (I don’t know the actual # because the odometer broke at 299,999)
Thank you that was interesting. Quick question on NPs, I thought they typically made pretty good money (google claims around 120k a year in Las Vegas). This is pretty reasonable compensation and is similar to what you can earn as an early career software person.
