Oracle runs into the one thing investors hate to do in late stage capitalism: actually building capital intensive infrastructure. Sure this case is for nonsense, but it’s a rule across the board.

Rasputin’s Ghost killed Bobby Farrell for this.

He died on the morning of 30 December 2010, in a hotel room in Saint Petersburg, Russia, of heart failure.[6] His agent, John Seine, said Farrell had complained of breathing problems and of pain in his chest, which intensified after he performed with his band the prior evening.[7][8] Despite his still present dynamism, he had health problems for a decade. Farrell’s body was discovered by hotel staff after he failed to respond to a wake-up call.[9][10] Coincidentally, he died 94 years to the day and in the same city as Grigori Rasputin, the subject of one of his group’s most iconic songs and whom he had dressed as in some live performances.

Be a puppet state either way, she just wants to signal that she’d be an enthusiastic puppet.

Her entire legitimacy at this point consists of being recognized by Western organizations and now grovelling to a hostile foreign power. She’d be the worst type of puppet.

LBJ wouldn’t.

Nuke subs are a bad example for looking at waste because they use higher enriched uranium. And that creates big casks of depleted uranium hexafluoride that we just have no idea what to do with other than sitting them in fields and hoping they don’t leak.

I don’t think it’s worth abandoning fusion research. I just think we’re much farther than popsci ever portrays and I have serious problems with the no waste framing.

It’s not particularly long but it’s very much in Superfund abandonment territory when you look at the economics of that “recycling” of low grade radioactive waste. I mean look at how much higher the cost per target is in this presentation alone for internal confinement is based on their kilowatt hours with recycling included. And that’s not including the reprocessing and production costs of targets or the fact that rapid target replacement will just frankly break as high energy neutrons and ablation screw up internals.

It’s not a quote, just a reality for non-existent blanket recycling technology and dealing with neutron energies that far exceed anything fission produces in slow neutron reactors and the large amounts of waste created from spallation and tritium handling.

without leaving behind hazardous waste

By volume blanket reprocessing and neutron activated vessel components create more hazardous waste than fission could dream of (not including the nightmare of on site fuel reprocessing for breeders that are similarly pie in the sky)

I don’t agree. The prices will rise across the board no matter where you site the memory or if it’s in a gaming computer or otherwise. Renting will always be more expensive than owning because competitors must recoup the capital cost of buying and make margin at the same time.

It was a shit system in the first place, designed to consolidate power.

I guess it’s just a strange thing to threaten: “watch out or you’ll be in trouble with yourself”

Face prosection from who exactly? Pam Bondi controls indictments for tampering with evidence and Congressional contempt actions are referred to the DOJ which then go to… Pam Bondi.

Submarine sandwich, grinder, hero, hoagie, wedge, spuckie.

What do you think truck stop bathrooms are for?

I couldn’t roll my eyes harder at this level of zeroing in on random drugs based on someone getting an IV.

Did you look where you last used it for it?

I’d go for the gorgon’s sisters then, the Graeae. You can look upon them at least without dying, but understanding how creatures can share between them one tooth and one eye while being distinct beings is understanding something outside the cosmic order.

That’s kinda the late Roman myth where she was cursed. In the original Greek she was one of the many monsters spawned by ceto or the sea monster.
