Every time a teacher stands up to teach a class; every time a preacher takes his place at the pulpit; every time a Senator gets the floor or the President gives a speech; every time a father or mother speaks to children, or a husband speaks to his wife - we are always using world-making words, making by echoing the truth of the Creator or destroying by denying Him.

@aaron_renn What about it do you find dystopian? More so than the present.

This is preferable to the previous style.

BREAKING: Pope Leo XIV has requested a mail-in ballot for the U.S. midterm elections, potentially becoming the first pope in 2,000 years to vote in a secular election.

1/ For years since the inception of Armada we’ve deployed modular data centers all over the planet. Now with NVIDIA and Johnson Controls we’re taking this to an entirely different level of speed, scale and sovereignty.

@eventidia Good adage is to “watch what people do, not what they say” or as the great book of John says, “ye shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free”

Keep it up

For me, Choral Evensong is one of the crowning inventions of the Anglican Church, and one of the best free musical experiences to be had in this country. JR https://t.co/iy61w3gPIl

Looks like @VivekGRamaswamy is behind the new Atlas Atomics. Still not much new information besides some of the staff and backers.

Company is pushing a heavy water design like the CANDU fleet up north.

The design has its advantages, specifically the lack of need for enriched uranium, as it can run on natural amounts of U-235 straight out of the ground. Only requires 0.7% compared to light water reactors that require 3-5%.

Also doesn't require a large forged pressure hull, can be refueled while still operating, and can more easily produce special isotopes, including Co-60.

But it does require heavy water (D2O), which is extremely expensive compared to light water. There are no commercial heavy water production facilities in the US yet.

There's also no domestic supply chain for fabricating the unique fuel bundles for the reactor, similar to the roadblocks for reactors that require TRISO or metallic fuel. More upfront construction costs for building the fabrication facilities, and more learning to do.

Atlas is going to be a direct competitor to Canada's AtkinsRealis, which recently decided to start making headway on bringing the CANDU to America.

Going from a Papal visit with millions in attendance to mass riots and violence is about as French as it gets.
