@BowTiedTrance @FrankTweets2026 Seems like he scheduled his afternoons to “recharge,” if you catch my drift.

@Tesla I fixed it for you.

Word

[Justine Bateman @JustineBateman]

Considering Texas voters seem to want to turn that state into California, I’ll tell you that you’re going to need a lot more money. No income tax and moderate sales tax? You’ll never have the cash for aimless programs like we have in CA. I expect the first thing these new TX politicians will do is jack up every tax they can manipulate. Sales tax and property tax will get higher instantly, and expect some crazy gas tax, too. They’ll say it’s for “the roads and the schools.” That’s how you know it’s earmarked to steal.
(Chart below does not show that LA sales tax is 11.4%. Also, gas tax + sales tax per gallon often makes our gas prices close to double the national average.)

It’s time to update my goals. Instead of becoming a billionaire, I’ll settle for a nice round $900,000,000.

@BowTiedTrance I think I saw the cat on the roof.

@seanonolennon They did leave a lot of loose threads. For instance, we never found out who’s on first.

I asked @grok to make this in honor of my first Halloween at @10x_Science. All puns intended.

Happy Halloween!

Let’s go, @SanJoseSharks !!

[Atomic Alchemist @DaveMountOnX]

@HopfJames OMG! Water!

@USAttyEssayli Whack-a-mole. Skuttle-the-roaches. Boxing-the-fog. Worth a shot in any case.

This chart shows that the BWRX-300 is the leading SMR, with a large order book and the most interest.

It's looking like a large number of these reactors will be built. If that happens, we will finally know what this SMR will cost after a large number are built. After there is a developed supply and they've got construction experience.

It's a good thing that one SMR design is garnering a large fraction of the market. To reduce cost, we need to choose just a few designs and build large numbers of carbon copies.

While I never like to lose, I don’t mind losing to a stronger opponent. It’s a good way to see what it will take to beat them. @SanJoseSharks, nice fight to the end.

[Atomic Alchemist @DaveMountOnX]

@HopfJames Interesting. Hope it goes well. 🍿

[Rod Adams @Atomicrod]

Regarding small and advanced nuclear reactors, journalists of a certain bent often write:

"a still largely untested and unproven technology in the United States"

I have my own slant.

"a rapidly developing technology that is being systematically tested and proven ready for commercial markets"

[Atomic Alchemist @DaveMountOnX]

@W_Nuclear_News @Mountaincl50711 @DeployableE @ENERGY @INL Things are getting interesting.

[Atomic Alchemist @DaveMountOnX]

@sharkvoice @SanJoseSharks @YouTube Best reboot ever. Go Sharks!

[Atomic Alchemist @DaveMountOnX]

@HopfJames Sure is better than freezing to death. Or sitting around in the dark.

[Atomic Alchemist @DaveMountOnX]

@INL Blue is green.

dots in Space...

Pigs in space...

[Atomic Alchemist @DaveMountOnX]

Open AI's release of Dots feels like parody. I'm pretty sure @MikeJudge is behind it. #SiliconValley

@HopfJames 2050? Say you're not serious without saying you're not serious.
