I need to get me a molasses service set like that.

Dudes being eaten by a hell otter. Thematically correct illumination. Hell otters after your golden souls in their shells.

Rasputin’s Ghost killed Bobby Farrell for this.

He died on the morning of 30 December 2010, in a hotel room in Saint Petersburg, Russia, of heart failure.[6] His agent, John Seine, said Farrell had complained of breathing problems and of pain in his chest, which intensified after he performed with his band the prior evening.[7][8] Despite his still present dynamism, he had health problems for a decade. Farrell’s body was discovered by hotel staff after he failed to respond to a wake-up call.[9][10] Coincidentally, he died 94 years to the day and in the same city as Grigori Rasputin, the subject of one of his group’s most iconic songs and whom he had dressed as in some live performances.

Nuke subs are a bad example for looking at waste because they use higher enriched uranium. And that creates big casks of depleted uranium hexafluoride that we just have no idea what to do with other than sitting them in fields and hoping they don’t leak.

I don’t think it’s worth abandoning fusion research. I just think we’re much farther than popsci ever portrays and I have serious problems with the no waste framing.

It’s not particularly long but it’s very much in Superfund abandonment territory when you look at the economics of that “recycling” of low grade radioactive waste. I mean look at how much higher the cost per target is in this presentation alone for internal confinement is based on their kilowatt hours with recycling included. And that’s not including the reprocessing and production costs of targets or the fact that rapid target replacement will just frankly break as high energy neutrons and ablation screw up internals.

It’s not a quote, just a reality for non-existent blanket recycling technology and dealing with neutron energies that far exceed anything fission produces in slow neutron reactors and the large amounts of waste created from spallation and tritium handling.

without leaving behind hazardous waste

By volume blanket reprocessing and neutron activated vessel components create more hazardous waste than fission could dream of (not including the nightmare of on site fuel reprocessing for breeders that are similarly pie in the sky)

The last one isn’t one that would generally disqualify you, more to catch you lying. There doesn’t exist people who would put more money in a vending machine because it’s a stupid idea and vending machines don’t work that way.

Ethical answers to that range from the utilitarian give it to someone hungry to the deontological leave it since it’s not yours. But putting more money into a malfunctioning vending machine is chaotic stupid on the ethical charts.

How about you review the thread there hoss and think about who started getting defensive, reflexively downvoting, and pitched folks as holding a position they didn’t have.

No, but it’s baffling to me that folks don’t seem to understand that timeshares with recurring maintenance costs that can only be discharged by paying someone to take them or bankruptcy aren’t worse. If people aren’t careful you can die and the damn things might get inherited, continuing the extraction misery. They’re a whole different class of financial mistake.

Yeah but see, I’ve only commented on how bad timeshares are and how you don’t actually own anything. They’re both equally awful, as the op stated. You’re the one trying to carry water for their actual value which is largely none or worse negative.

You’re not sure why lifetime debt traps are worse than one time bad investments? Are you just trying to win an Internet argument at this point thinking I’m defending NFTs? Because yeah, a lifetime liability is generally worse for your average person.

Honestly at least NFTs don’t have recurrent maintenance costs that literally make their value go negative.

But you sure don’t own it.

Most of the popular shows about nobility and classy balls are Edwardian or Regency because Victorian nobility were squares, but same shit.

They’re still tax deductable in the US. Surprising it wouldn’t be in aus really. It is just an expense like payroll. I guess they’re trying to recover the fact that they can’t get payroll taxes from the employees if they’re fringe benefits so they really want to recoup it from the employer.

Hilariously still very common in small blue collar outfits. Construction workers and the like.

I don’t agree. The prices will rise across the board no matter where you site the memory or if it’s in a gaming computer or otherwise. Renting will always be more expensive than owning because competitors must recoup the capital cost of buying and make margin at the same time.

Even beyond the basic drydock capacity we straight up don’t produce enough steel for this anymore. Even the US military industrial complex is a hollow shell.
