True, but I think we've got nuclear handled. I don't want to do it because China does it, I want to do it because I think it's a crime we haven't been doing it for the past 50 years and I want clean, abundant energy. And I want China to lose the AI arms race, and we're not going to accomplish that with solar, or anything other than nuclear for that matter.
I'm becoming a big fan of these Small Modular Reactors. Mass produce them, and plug them into every power hungry industrial site. It's at least an attractive stop-gap to me while we build new plants.
China has something like 7 nuclear plants coming online this year, and another 20 next year I think we're the numbers I heard. We've got zero on both counts.
@RockChartrand I used to think this way, but now Im pretty sure that giving someone money to buy a knife to stick you with is not a good investment, no matter how cool that coffee pot you bought from them was, or whether or not they were your neighbor or live on the other side of the planet.
@KanekoaTheGreat Serious question for those interested in offering their perspective... If flock data was only accessible to authorities through a warrant or some kind of probable cause prerequisite, would that make any difference in anyone's opinion of them? Just curious as I'm on the fence.
@WildComputers They get culled from the simulation when not in line of sight. Just like when you drop a tiny screw on the floor and it simply disappears. It reappears later 10ft away because of floating point imprecision.
@PinoAmericano 35" tires are exempt, but 33" tires, which are far more abundant, are not. $10 says in a few years 33" tires will cost more than 35's, which is just nuts.
