Just do what I do and put it in that deep cupboard above the fridge. Then forget about it for literal years by mistake. It's doing wonders for my health. Just wish I could do a version of that for my bad sleep schedule.

It was really nice. We went prior to the Olympics, but Paris and other parts of France are beautiful and lovely each in their own way. It feels very much like home, yet foreign at the same time.

I will never forget how immaculately well kept the American graves were at the beaches of Normandy. They treat them with such respect, and it brought tears to my eyes. The people of France will always have a spot in my heart for what they've done for us in our time of need and for the utmost respect they have shown our ancestors in both world wars.

Heh, the first step in a long series of steps towards orbital shipyards and coriolis-class space stations.

The future is looking bright.

It's so cute, I love their cute little facial expressions :)

Red rescue team, if you haven't played a pokemon mystery dungeon game before. I played the DS version (blue rescue team) and loved it.

Deep sea mining is wayyyy too risky. There needs to be much more research before we wreck an ecosystem that supports the entire planet.

If your takes are so bad that you are at a high risk of being domed by your own crowds, why bother even running?

It's not the entire US, that state was settled and run by religious nuts. It's gradually getting diluted, but the mormon church has a chokehold on the state government and a shitton of money. Religion makes people super weird.

I don't know too much about this area, but I can't help but feel blue hydrogen research is too little, too late.

We should be focused on electrifying homes, offices, and factories ASAP with hydrogen research money. Stuff like aluminum smelting furnaces being powered by green hydrogen could be a great area of research, as could global shipping, which will probably need to run off eFuels, hydrogen, or nuclear going forward. This money doesn't appear to be going towards that.

I just don't see homes as a viable branch of hydrogen research. Old, leaky gas lines, stuff not up to code, and a suspiciously close link to existing gas and oil companies makes this feel like it won't hold water as a line of research when we have perfectly safe, carbon-free alternatives (plus, no risk of explosions or carbon monoxide from blended gasses)

It’s like making chicken soup,” said the cook, an independent producer based in the cartel stronghold of Sinaloa state. “It’s mega-easy making that drug.”

They paid 3700 for everything needed, including the glassware. The article details it all, even the pill presses and new analogs that hadn't been discovered before, in the arms race against banning or restricting fentanyl precursors. The sellers themselves stated in the article exactly how to make the drug, including step by step guides, and chemical diagrams explaining the Gupta method.

 

There are geothermal solutions for geothermal features near the surface already. This article is about advances in deep geothermal solutions: 15,000+ feet of pipe, deep into the earth. Utilizing the falling cost of horizontal drilling equipment from the fracking industry, there are now solutions to drill 10,000 feet down, and 5,000 feet sideways to improve the likelihood of running into superheated rock. Currently, drilling will be limited to geothermally gifted areas of America, but may be able to expand to less fortunate areas as the technology improves and gets even less expensive.

 

Sweet :)

 

I'm sure they are working on a youtube messaging app behind the scenes.

 

A lot of our grid is actually comprised of various smaller entities. Advanced Reconductoring could help, as building new lines takes ages due to permitting and localized red tape. We don't have a central authority to coordinate building new lines, so upgrading existing lines to better technology could allow us to get closer to bridging the gap.

However, one of the downsides is that it will still be difficult to connect new solar and wind farms in remote areas, due to the need to build virgin powerlines spanning urban-rural areas. This is one tool we can do in the present - near future in order to improve our grid. Another is advanced monitoring sensors so we can transfer more electricity without accidently overloading transmission lines. Both are relatively low-cost alternatives to building new lines.
