>The Russians have to be using *something* for their own movements.

"Go toward sun, Ivan. They are near it."

No such videos exist. He was charged for "waving a Hezbollah flag" in a concert because they couldn't get away with arresting him for putting this on a banner:

>Israel is committing genocide against the Palestinian people: It is being enabled by the US government who arm and fund Israel despite their war crimes.

>Fuck Israel. Free Palestine.

I don't know if the commentor above is misinformed or just covering for Israel's genocide.

Diplomacy often means appearing to do one thing while actually doing another.

They smile and nod, get tariffs exemptions, then somehow never actually involve themselves in this shambles.

"No justice, no peace" isn't a slogan. It's a cause and effect.

More scalable is hilarious. They take like 10 years to build and cost 18 billion dollars to get 1GW steady state.

Meanwhile, we can whip out 1GW of solar in 2yrs for 2 billion, and do it in modular sections. You don't have steady state, but you could build solar out to compete with enough battery and high voltage transmission lines, with basically zero nuclear hurdles. It would cost, but it is viable now and much faster, and that's with current tech. Batteries and panels are just getting cheaper and better.

There is only one active thorium reactor in the world, and its 2MW test plant in China, out in the Gobi desert. They just managed to refuel it for the first time, which is a great milestone, but in no way, shape or form are thorium reactors a viable power source anywhere else on earth, much less "so portable they fit in a 40ft shipping container."

Renewables and batteries have steady output and can be built much faster and cheaper than nuclear. It's why 94% of all new power generation globally in 2024 was renewables.

And Vances, but that shouldn't be a problem.

There is no form factor of power generation that could match nuclear on something as "small" and dense as an aircraft carrier.

Solar is a no go due to just surface area and the challenges of salt water. The only consistent things left are petrol and nuclear, and of the two, nuclear is better in every way but cost.

It is wacky that "hot rock make steam. Steam makes turbine go" is how like 95% of all civilization exists, but man when we stumbled on a winner in the 1800s, we just went all in on it.

100% steam. Steam makes the electricity, locomotion, desalination and the plane catapults go on that class of carrier. The reactors and salt water make the various types of steam used in the various systems.

Limitless water is a neat hack when you couple it with limitless heat.

That carrier is using steam powered propellers. Luckily the steam is "pushed" by a couple of large nuclear reactors, so it's got plenty of juice.

The president of el Salvador publicized them first, while the meeting was ongoing.

They staged the meetup for propaganda. They weren't going to let that go to waste.

$2300, and that assumes that they can even get the materials.

China has silently stopped shipping a lot of metals used in high tech applications that it controls 90% of the stock of. The 10%? Our previous trade partners Canada and Australia, who aren't big fans right now.

That's if you believe they actually threw any rocks to begin with.

"They threw rocks at us" is a perfect excuse in a rocky, desert landscape. There are always loose rocks around the victims and the murders.

Can you tell us your take on this piece?

No. The hardest math is some insanely light algebra too. X = 5y kind of stuff.

It still opens the door to enlistment and being harassed to join the military, conning poor kids into making a mistake.

This sad account just posts negative articles about her and Prince harry, too favorite right wing targets.

UK was a tier 1 supporter of the F-35 project and apparently supply 15% of its parts. Its going to be hard to fuck with them about using them.
