It's worth running the numbers.

In 50,000 years, there could be a whole new crop of coal to repeat this whole cycle all over again.

That's the thing about the eco wackos that really burns my ass.

Nuclear is the only viable option for cheap, clean power and they fight it tooth and nail. Solar and wind are great additions but nuclear would give us everything we need.

They don't want that. They're not pushing for thorium power, they're not pushing to update safety standards. They're fighting to shut it all down.

They're not concerned with saving the environment, they're neo-luddites.

Cheap, clean power would do more than anything else within our reach at the moment to improve the lives of everyone on this planet and they oppose it, have you ever wondered why?

Remember Rob Enderle?

I hope that now Elon Musk will step in and buy it to get rid of some of the idiotic policies that are in place.

I do not like the amount of money my country is sending to the Ukraine either but a deal is a deal. The US, UK, France and several others pledged to defend Ukraine in exchange for them giving up their nuclear weapons.

I'll say the same thing to you that I said to the Trump voters who were crying 4 years ago.

The guy who got the most votes won. That is Democracy in action. Get over it.

In its day, it was quite fun. I went from playing every day to playing a few times a year but once my character had maxed all stats, it wasn't as much fun grinding anymore.

We have known this for quite some time. That's how Jack LaLanne was able to perform ridiculous feats of strength and endurance well into his 70s. He even claimed that he and his wife maintained an active sex life into his 90s.

Joe Weider lived into his 90s as well with comparatively good health compared to his contemporaries who didn't exercise like he did.

We have had this knowledge for decades but the counter-argument could be that correlation isn't causation. This kind of research is needed to prove that it's the exercise that contributes to longevity, not that people who are genetically predisposed to long life also have a predisposition to get into exercise.

It was a very convenient way to get media.

My absolute favorite was when Hollywood Video had their MVP program. You could take out three DVDs at a time for a flat fee all month.

When they tried to replace it with whatever they called that bullshit they tried to trick us with, I declined.

They went from getting $14.99 per month from me to getting maybe $5.00 on a good month.

All of the kiosks near me disappeared years ago.

until Japan starts offering incentives for foreign men to come and marry their women.

Or at least, that's how my fantasy is going...

LK

They will ban you for saying anything that can remotely be taken as anti-trans.

One time, I got a week suspension for saying that we shouldn't be allowing people to surgically alter 5 year olds because they think they're one gender or another.

LK

I agree with you but don't underestimate DeBeers.

They have enough diamond reserves that they can steeply discount natural ones for long enough to put synthetic diamond makers out of business.

LK

I didn't say possible. I said practical. Strong crypto is hard. Secure key exchange is hard.

Governments have been breaking codes for as long as we have had codes.

LK

Even the most professional of officers would be tempted if he was was cheating on him or if someone delivered a credible threat to the safety of his children.

The best way to prevent this kind of abuse is to make it impossible.
