People may not realise this but we have wonderful methods to quickly mass produce plastic parts. These pieces might take several hours to print which means one 3d printer could produce maybe 50 of these a week. If you have 10 printers you c

This is all Youtube's doing. Youtube rewards channels that upload a full video every day, and for individual creators the only way to do that is to talk into a camera for 30 minutes and just upload it.

How would these reactors compare to nuclear submarine reactors for example? I imagine those are fairly compact but probably not really suitable for general user power supply?

You don’t agree with Google’s November paper then I guess? You KNOW what quantum supremacy means. Please don’t nit pick my layman’s description we are all adults here. You know what I meant.

They have proved that it's physically possible for quantum computers to do things that classical computers can not. In other words, they have proved that quantum supremacy is real.

Some people born blind will still get the same amount of melatonin as sighted people. Therefore you should still see born blind schitzos. But we do not. The melatonin hypothesis is bunk.
