If by leftist you mean “believe in objective reality”

it’s just practice.

At least you tried.

I’m down. We should invite some of the solarpunk instance guys.

Damn I’ve only tried 1 out of 6, no wonder I feel terrible.

I’d turn around and inhale him for that.

A combination of strong state level incentives from China, Korea, and Taiwan, disinterest in super expensive R&D by GlobalFoundaries after they were spun out of AMD, and decades-long mismanagement at Intel.

So every AI’s gonna identify as an Arch user with striped socks now?

oh, definitely. I just meant it’s going to be something much closer to a “conventional” compact fission reactor (the only examples of which I could think of being for naval uses) than an RTG. I have to imagine that bleeding off all of that heat is going to be an interesting challenge in a hard vacuum.

The call is for a 100kW reactor, which is way more than an RTG. This will be more like a submarine/carrier pressurized fission reactor that’s fitted out for use in space.

There have been scarier graphs in the 2020s 🙄

Yeah but the cool kind of nerd.

Yeah for all his shortcomings Pat Gelsinger had the right plan for Intel. But the board wanted to see the numbers go up every quarter – long-term viability be damned – and he couldn’t do both that and push all of their advanced engineering directives, so something had to give (which in this case was Gelsinger himself).

Such a pity, too. Not long ago something like this would have ended even a powerful politician’s career. Dead. Full stop. But now, who can blame them? They’ve learned that there are no consequences for their hypocrisy and bad behavior, so why would they change?

We’re already “helping” in that climate change is significantly expanding their range. I removed 4 Lone Star ticks in a 1-week period earlier this summer on Long Island. There was a time when that kind wasn’t even around the area.

I’m all for eating less red meat, but I’d rather do it myself than rely on an deadly autoimmune response that might also kill me if I have a slice of buttered toast (or anything made from mammal proteins, for that matter), or carageenan, a seaweed-derived thickener.

Edit: also, fuck ticks in particular. They also can carry Lyme which is hard to diagnose and, for many, forever life-changing, and Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever, which can outright kill you.

Damn how did I miss that. Also, Labor of Lust would be a great title for said lesbian RPG (assuming it was set in the workplace).

Hopefully it was a labor of love.

So the bluer names are ethnic and the redder names are terrible. Interesting trend.
