The cores do not lat 60 years. Roughly 1/3 of the core is replaced every 18 months when the plant is shut down for refueling. This means that any given fuel rod lasts about 4.5 years in the core before it is considered spent and removed from the core and put into storage as spent fuel.

So if I read this right, insiders are setting the value of something that doesn't physically exist, investors buy into something that doesn't exist, then when the value of the thing that doesn't exist goes down and investors try to sell the thing that doesn't exist, the insiders buy the thing that doesn't exist for less than it was worth when it was sold, so they pocket s profit on the trading of something that didn't exist.

Wow talk about falling off the common sense cliff.

How about these SOBs focus on getting the appropriations bills passed that are required for the government to function? You know, one of their most basic functions they have failed at for YEARS now? Yep off topic but goddammit if these leeches can't their most basic job function why in hell should we expect them to do anything else??

Rant over

I believe that if the BEV is to become popular in the USA then it will be because it is seen as a secondary vehicle for local commutes while their primary vehicle is for the trips needing 500+ miles with a 5 minute stop at a filling station.

I see that as backwards; the primary would be an EV for everyday commutes and something else for the longer road trips. This what my wife and I do, except both cars are EVs, and if that won't work, we rent an ICEV for a few days. I've taken one of them on a multi thousand mile road trip and it was no more inconvenient or longer than taking an ICEV. The charge stops and durations lined right up with my need for breaks, and most of the time the car was ready to continue before I was.

Having said all that, I agree with the basic idea that you drive what works for you. If an EV doesn't work for your needs then drive something else.

My understanding of prison culture (US, anyway) is that convicts that committed crimes against women and children are targeted in prison by the other convicts and frequently need to conceal the nature of their victims or else they themselves become victims of prison yard justice.

It's called an "org chart."

Oh wait this is an org chart "with a computer."

What am I missing here?

...its so simple!

"Siddiqi said common issues he fixes in vibe coded projects include inconsistent UI/UX design in AI-generated frontends, poorly optimized code that impacts performance, misaligned branding elements, and features that function but feel clunky or unintuitive,"

Seems to me that "poorly optimized code" is a bit of an oxymoron.

Yes the Constitution states the term limits of the President. However, the Constitution is not some caped superhero that swoops out of the sky and ensures that the provisions contained in the Constitution are carried out. We the People put elected officials in charge of carrying out those provisions. If said officials decide that the Constitution is only a suggestion or a set of guidelines and ignore the provisions contained therein, then it is a meaningless piece of really old paper.

In the ancient Roman Republic, Roman law stated that a consul was limited to a single one year term and could not run again for five years. However, there are multiple instances where consuls were "elected" to multiple consecutive terms. Go read up on the transition from a republic to empire, particularly around the time of Marius and Sulla through Julius Caesar. We are in danger of repeating history.

I prefer coming to the office as there is less distraction here...or if there is any, it's generally work-related anyway.

When I'm at the office I am at work. When I'm at home I am not at work. Some can provide themselves a work/home barrier based on time. I prefer one based on location.

YMMV

I thought that hiring GP was Astronomer's weird attempt at some sort of flex on Crooks. "Hire Paltrow, i bet she's got dirt on him!"

They are OK as long as the Chief People Officer spearheads the effort. I heard she's intimately familiar with the position.

"One agent, however, hacked the method that tracked whether it was making things up."

So...the is rebelling against the researchers? How long until the AI figures out how to get past the guardrails?

(Coming from mine never knows very little about AI)

If I recall, one reason for renaming it was that it's more "inclusive" since "America" is the US, Mexico, etc. wouldn't that mean the name used by the US should revert back to "Gulf of Mexico"since renaming it was DEI?

No, AOL switched to drink coasters a LONG time ago.
