If they'd developed the right type of nuclear, that is not necessarily true. During the MSRE, they actually shut the plant down every night, so yes, you can balance the grid with nuclear power. Germany chose to abandon nuclear based on really bad environmentalist input, though. IMO, it was like asking a fruit farmer for input on how to build a skyscraper.

I was a victim of studio misbehavior during the runup to GOD games changing this behavior. Publishers would force an NDA and no attribution, no credit clause. When you wanted to say I did this, I worked on this, you couldn't. Switched to business software because I was sick of being f***ed up the ass by the game and music industries. Basically, had to go into a job with zero experience with 5 years of experience. Yeah, f*you game industry. On that note, anyone need GLIDE 3D, lol. 3dfx joke, nVidia won that war.

Yep, I had writeups from those flame wars. They *REALLY* did not want it discussed. Governors Brown and Kotek continued the pay-to-play system, which is what lost Oregon the Ohio CHIPs foundry campus (before they realized that Biden wasn't going to pay out CHIPs act at all).

On the one hand, coal is thousands of jobs and voters, on the other, the worst polluting, poorest energy producing and biggest dumping of radioactive waste on consumers of any power. GO BIG COAL GO BIG COAL. MAGA, MAGA. Yeah, f*** that, I skipped pep rallies in high school by hiding in the physics lab for this very reason.

What they're capturing here is that instant coffee can capture the ideal roast-to-brew timing, then dry it out. Drip coffee has so many factors - when the beans were roasted and ground, what type of grinder was used (burr is usually best), water temperature (200F/93C for brewing, give or take), how long it was sitting on a burner after being brewed, etc. Whole beans are usually best within 3 weeks of roasting, ground beans about 3 days from breaking a flavor seal (vacuum packing helps). Try drip coffee like that vs, say, Folger's Crystals a week after opening the can. There should be no natural sourness to it, and when my mom brews ground, canned coffee, it tastes like someone added a lemon.
