Are we mixing up fusion and fission here? Fission has cost problems. Fusion doesn't have cost problems, it has viability problems. We still haven't even produced net positive energy. Then, if that milestone is reached, continuous

It doesn't work now, at least for one of its purposes. You can no longer read the thread without being logged in. That reduces its value when it's linked from articles or hn or wherever. For people like myself who'd read the

Fission will be practical (now) long before the problems of fusion are solved (maybe never).

I think this is too much of a simplification to be a useful guide. First the older stuff can be discounted because there just isn't enough written evidence to know what the general Roman population was thinking. Columbus wasn't ge

I'm a New Zealander too. I don't really see that this is going to improve their tax position much. How many folks turning 16 are going to take up cigarettes over vaping? I mean, I agree, their position is stupid and if they alread

Most worms don't actually become separate organisms when cut in half, it's just a myth based on their reaction. They usually just die after while.

Pretty much the same, except I do re-read the odd book... and they're all still there. I've not had a Kindle book disappear. I used to use calibre, but at some point I realised I was just curating a massive library for no reason.

You still shouldn't be driving that fast. In your panic you're even more likely to make a mistake and end up killing yourself, your passenger and, potentially, another car full of people. Emergency vehicles are involved in proport

are iPhones 'cool'? Surely if they saturate the market they become uncool.

Same situation, although the colleague in question had left the place I worked a few months before he died in an accident. I still see his name in the git blame lines most weeks and think of him.

I've lost many pets over the years and my father, and grandparents I was close to. I think it depends on the circumstance. Losing a pet unexpectedly is worse than losing a grandparent to old age. A pet dying of old age is a mix of grie

I really enjoyed both books in this series. It was much more politics than space opera though.

I have one now. I started helping out at a local sports club and facebook is one of the channels of communication. There's an email list too, but that isn't discoverable. I feel like this is what FB is good at and should be - ther

My kid usually mows the lawn and I do the edges. It's actually pretty good outdoor time with family, and usually I find more to do out there if I'm just out there.

I've never seen that in NZ and I travelled the South Island in 2020 just before COVID hit (and nearly got stuck in an Airbnb for lockdown). Nowhere I remember was asking for tips other than the usual tip jar by the till. I have noticed

It's not going to be my favourite song but the official video did bring a few tears to my eye. There are plenty of worse Beatles songs.

I've used a vinegar based weed killer. Not a home mix, a proper horticultural strength product. For a large area that is already under some control it works very well as it'll kill all the seedlings outright. For larger plants it

I've noticed posts like yours get voted down early then voted up. Anyway, I agree with you. Tech was great when folks were reverse engineering hardware to make cheaper / better copies that worked with existing software. Does it su

They would need to wipe out the entire population of Gaza then, because otherwise all their actions are going to do (doing) is create the next generation of Hamas.

Sorry, but you've just told me that it's OK to kill innocent civilians, including children, by shelling them because you think a terrorist is hiding in their midst but you can't tell me the difference between that and my scen

The person responsible is the one who pulls the trigger. If a murderer runs into a crowd of people it wouldn't be OK for the police to just mow down those people to catch them. And that's an exact analogy here, just because a terr

I'm sure their intentions are very different but it's dehumanising to say it's apples and oranges. Seeing your family members killed is the same, regardless of who you are, and being collateral does not abdicate responsibilit
