Well, for one I (and I presume many other people) would not vote for a platform with such an extremist position.

Sure, if it pans out. I'm all for syngas if it can be produced somewhat efficiently at scale. But right now lithium batteries and hydro are proven technologies that can be utilized. That's the difference.

There can still be periods of several weeks with very little sunlight. And energy demands will be massive if we switch all heating to heat pumps instead of natural gas which we mostly now use. What actually helps us during winter is hydro a

You both raise good points. Yes solar is getting cheaper but economical and environmentally friendly long term storage (order of several days or even a month worth of energy for a hundred million people) is far from a solved problem. > I

Synthetic fuels can be carbon neutral. The major question is if they can be produced economically.

You can only save up to 100% of what you make (good luck with that), but you can increase your compensation more than that.

Tsar bomba was 100 Mt design, about 50 Mt test. Not much of a difference, you're going to be toast anyway (multiple "smaller" warheads are more economical and harder to intercept anyways).

They probably mean the part about Croats and Serbs being genetically almost the same. But this is also not something surprising to me.

How about a formal proof? :) I jest, but that should be the gold standard for anything life-critical and good to have for mission-critical software. Alas, we're not there yet.

Isn't Sellafield mostly a consequence of rushing to acquire the atomic and hydrogen bomb as quickly as possible? Akin to Hanaford site in the USA.

I cannot test that counterfactual now, can I? But some people had it worse, so I guess it didn't hurt. And it is probable that vaccines protected me from original strains, which were worse. If anything, I'm dissapointed that they

I got vaccinated three times (with Pfizer). No ill effects on my hearing/tinnitus (I was monitoring it). Then I got COVID (Omicron), was quite sick for several days (lost smell) and it seems the tinnitus worsened a bit in one ear. So..
