The S6W reactor produces comparable power output, just with traditional uranium instead of thorium. Although thorium might be cheaper and safer, capability-wise it doesn’t really change anything, right, when comparing apples to apples? This doesn’t in itself mean Chinese ships can now do laps around the fastest US ships. I’m not knowledgeable about this so feel free to correct me on that. I just haven’t found anything indicating a military advantage so far.

What new capabilities does this reactor type offer?

It says that the power output is about the same as the US Navy’s S6W reactor at about 200 megawatts.

I did some googling and it seems that the most powerful diesel engines, which are most common for commercial shipping, land at around 80 MW. So if it’s more practical to build and use thorium reactors on commercial ships (not just the most advanced Navy ships) the I think it’s got to change the game at least economically right? Not just speed, but other factors like eliminated need to refuel at ports (which can take days, but maybe that happens during downtime anyway). For military application that’s a key benefit too.

It’s crazy that the 2016 election cycle was 10 years ago

He was killed by the Flat Earth Illuminati that didn’t want him to see the earth is actually round

Democratic socialism is just social democracy though in a literal sense. It is merely a difference in marketing. The social democrats historically have been revisionist and concessionary “socialists”.

Starting from its early usage, social democracy meant socialism. The Russian Social Democratic Labour Party, once supported by Lenin, considered itself socialist. And I’d say that social democrats today still consider themselves socialists much of the time, just not “communists” or “Marxists” in requisite scare-quotes.

It would only be small websites with principles (such as the fediverse) that would do it. That’s fine. It is still worthwhile even if it doesn’t attract a geometrically expanding user base. The bourgeois craving to reach market saturation ought not to influence the choice of a small corner of the internet to carve out a simpler and more relaxed environment.

Nope, straight to uni although I worked some during

I don’t really know anything about this stuff, so feel free to tell me if this is a thing or that it wouldn’t work:

What if a new lightweight class of browsers emerged with an intentionally reduced set of features? Then websites that believe in that principle would build toward that standard and not use features beyond it. Could be more secure and faster to load. And if the standard gained traction, it would prevent the inevitable “power creep” done by web designers who would want to use all features available to them.

There is already a trend toward tech simplification using e-ink displays and “dumb phones”, so I think it could plausibly gain popularity.

Depends on the kid. Attending university was a big step for my own intellectual development, done on my own terms and outside of the influence of my family. Certainly wasn’t a direct path to where I am today (it never is) but the neat thing about materialism is that it asserts itself like a law of nature

Maybe injecting fluids in your ass will be less invasive and less painful than a breathing tube for temporary medical situations like surgeries. As a long-term thing, not great.

Pretty happy about this one, although I ignored like half the puzzle to get it. Most days I use multiple hints so that I can get the hang of it

First time hearing that they indicted Letitia James too. Those charges sound quite petty though.
