Theres no way in hell the US will be anywhere close to first in developing stable fusion power.

Looking at the projects underway I agree with you, however the US was the first to produce a nuclear fusion reaction with a net positive energy result at the NIF in 2022. source The subsequent 5 events have increase net positive yields significantly with the 2025 experiment yielding more than 200% net energy gain.

To be able to create a energy net positive even on-demand has to be very helpful for research. I don’t know of any other country that is capable of doing that yet.

Love low taxes. Keep it up.

But enough about the ideas of the rich aristocracy leading up to the French Revolution…

I wonder how the typical conservative voter thinks this kind of thing is going to help them?

Many are older without children in schools anymore and are happy they are not “paying to teach other people’s kids” even though they themselves were the recipients of older Americans paying for them to go through public schools. Others are rich paying to send their kids to private schools or rich enough to pay to send them to religious school so they too are happy to not fund public schools. The last group are poor conservatives that can’t afford private schools and have children in public schools. This group are “temporarily embarrassed millionaires” that aren’t bothered because they’ll be sending their kids to private schools “real soon now”. They are just happen to be invited to the meetings tearing down society and the safety nets that sustain them everyday.

then evened out to ~$35,000 once I found my flow.

How much of that was tips?

Are World of Warcraft gold farmers still a thing?

Henry VIII broke his nation’s close ties with the most powerful political force of his day (the catholic church) to get rid of his own wife. Could trumps actions be stealth campaign to get rid of Melania? /s

But going against the fed in a way that is considered “illegal” could be seen as declaring civil war. And while the fed can’t live without it’s taxes it can bomb you to hell if provoked

Not making a payment is seen as civil war? If its already at that point we’re already done.

However, realistically not making a payment won’t earn you bombs. It might earn guns though. What would that look like if a state withheld payment? Would a fed law enforcer with a gun go into an office, up to some state employee sitting an a cube responsible for making money transfers as part of their work, and have the gun in their face or threatening arrest if they don’t make the payment to the fed? Would it instead be indictments of state government officials, and perhaps jailing them? Who would they jail? The Governor that signed the bill into law? The state legislature for putting the measure forward?

When high level state officials or low level state office workers start getting arrested, that moves the game to a different level. That escalation may have knock on effects on the citizenry. This would be especially true if the reason the state would be withholding the payment from the fed would be for cutting of services from the fed.

and legal experts said they would face obstacles.

Do they? Those at the top of government aren’t following the rules anymore. Why should states still be bound to do so?

The enemy of your enemy isn’t always your friend.

So you like splatter-horror-comedy memes. Nothing wrong with that:

Ohhh, trAma. My mistake. Carry on.

Especially those times of year where you’re in the office before the sun rises, and leave after it sets. Oh, and you work in a windowless room.

Nice humblebrag. You don’t need to use the plural of pog in your post here when you only have a single mint condition Alf pog as your $2M asset.

I’m the last person to ever use the “both sides the same” but our side had some of that same problem during Obama’s first term. Yes, key legislation was passed, but just barely and even some of those bills had some compromises.

Surprisingly, sliding a piece of paper with my Geocities URL wouldn’t have the same effect.

I’m enjoying seeing my solar panels still producing electricity for the house at 8:55pm at night.

“The agencies were also instructed to consider other modern non-dollar assets such as Pokemon cards and Beanie Babies” /s

I never understood why trump did the pope thing. I think I get it now. He wants to sell Indulgences.

“However, the abuse of indulgences for almsgiving, so that they became a method of moneyraising or ignored the requirements for contrition or charity, had become a serious problem which the church recognized but was unable to restrain effectively.[9]”

CCP Games Inc made the following statement regarding today’s announcements: “Interested parties should contact CCP Legal and provide offer details as well as proof of financing in the form of account statements in PLEX or ISK equal or greater to the stated offer. No lowballs. I know what I got.” /s

Its not quite clear to me either. My guess is that the majority of rural populations vote GOP. So the ones that will face this particular impact are GOP voters. Again, this is just my assumption of what @[email protected] was referring to. I’m not trying to strawman them.

Personally, I don’t want anyone to lose healthcare, especially the poor rural folks, even if they are GOP voters.
