The announcement that ICF had reached the break-even point in 2022 provided hope that fusion power was drawing closer, and this will be bolstered by news that further progress has been made. But there are caveats. Firstly, the energy output falls far short of what would be needed for a commercial reactor, barely creating enough to heat a bath. Worse than that, the ratio is calculated using the lasers’ output, but to create that 2.1 megajoules of energy, the lasers draw 500 trillion watts, which is more power than the output of the entire US national grid. So these experiments break even in a very narrow sense of the term.

Every experiment so far has shown that when you toss COVID patients into active volcanoes instead of using the standard treatment there’s a 99% reduction in deaths by COVID, but big pharma doesn’t want you to know that

I was disgusted by the XML at first, but it’s a readable query returning a sane JSON object.

Meanwhile, I’m mantaining Java code where the SQL is a perfectly square wall of text, and some insane mofo decided the way to read the resulting list of Object[] 🤮 is getting each column by index… so I’d switch to SQXMLL in a heartbeat.

It’s a huge luxury to be able to make money off something you love, even more to just be able to do what you love without worrying about money.

That’s the point of step 2: inspect ass

If you find or smell poopoo obviously don’t proceed to brlbrlelebrbrbr (or do if you’re into that shit who the fuck am I to judge)

To be faaaair, the cheetah reaches 100+ km/h on it’s own merits, the dumb falcon just falls really fast

If you drop a whale from space it will probably beat that speed record while falling, the falcon doesn’t get extra credit just because he can get up there and survive without help

Same thing with big accidents, the one survivor thanks god for a miraculous rescue but nobody acknowledges the implied “god watched the other 50 people on that bus die brutally and didn’t care”

Everytime I try to google anything that might be remotely related to a product every result will be a store.

I’d never have assumed that they just replaced my query but in hindsight it’s kinda obvious

Ironically that trump quote is a perfect description of Trump’s government

A more honest headline:

Our corporate overlords don’t like unions and environmentalists, so we’re gonna pit those groups against each other.

Perhaps they had no money because they spended everything in fancy spell chack

On one hand, yeah I wish I wouldn’t have to hear about that piece of garbage ever again, but the mugshot is an exception because this little bit of justice feels like getting a nice bottle of cold water after being lost in a desert for years.

(Not if it’s an HP printer)

In a few billion years when the sun swallows the earth. Getting surprise cremated at that moment would be anticlimactic. And kinda redundant

Which answer would be less crazy?

20+ real dogs in the house or real-looking plush dogs covering every bit of available space

And who would dare try to stop a madman that would actually do this?

Training and validating machine learning models was always part of the point of captchas, it’s not even a secret

The US government being useless against megacorps is not a bug, it’s a feature
