Yup, stars are clearly impossible. That is why the night sky is black.

Well, if you are doing nothing (not)working at home in your gov job, then you should get unemployment! ;)

I wondered how the usual negative sloshdatters will manage to complain about the financial news, but my stock portfolio is doing well.

For proof that fusion can be energy positive, you just need to leave your moms basement and look up.

The cost upper bound to processing lithium is probably extraction from sea water. Dissolving rock should not be necessary.

DEI is not displeasure with the WH. It is displeasure with the constitution and Supreme Court.

It took almost a million years for the last ice age to warm up and come to an end. During all that time, increasing CO2 lagged the warming, so CO2 did not drive the melting ice. It is only for the past 20,000 years - a mere blip - that CO2 increases tracks with the warming. This is well documented for anyone who cares to look and not just lap up the latest fads.

Here is something from Dr Ward to cheer you up: https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwhyclimatechanges.com%2F...

Donald could refurb Alcatrez and put a court there also, then transfer his favorite judges to that court. The result will be interesting to watch.

The reality is that the Earth orbit is not perfectly circular. There are slow harmonic motions with geological time scales - In addition to continental drift and magnetic field changes. The result is that the Earth experiences slow climate change and there is nothing us humans can do about it.

Energy star drove useful improvements. It is done. There is no need to fund it more. Find something else that would be useful to do.

I can remember some minor celebrity people went to jail for buying college spots for their sprogs.

Trump is cutting funding to racist colleges, insisting that they have to be colour blind and merit based, as was yet again ruled by the supreme court. I dont see anything wrong with that. If you think that is wrong, then you have to take it up with the supreme court and Congress, not the WH.

Hmm, it is not so simple. DEI was extremely racist - racial apportionment is what it was. In the EU, it would also be illegal since one is not allowed to look at a persons race or country of birth - the state and large corporations have to be colour blind. The US supreme court has now affirmed that yet again, making US policy the same as EU policy.

Modern films are made in a studio, same as always and with ever more computer graphics. Very little of a movie is shot on location.
