    How does any of that prevent Biden from acknowledging that housing is expensive and a desire to incentivize housing construction for individual ownership?

    I’m not asking for the moon here. Silence on the matter is a very loud statement about keeping things the way they’re headed. They’ll get a rude referendum on that. No one will be happy with the outcome.

    Okay well we’ve had three years without a strong man president and all we’ve gotten are higher interest rates and a letter telling us the economy is doing great. Not even an acknowledgement of the problem, let alone expressed interest in solving it, or a plan, or action.

    This is on the blues right now. They need to do something fast if you don’t want a strong man president.



  • Palworld didn’t plagiarize them. This is what the kids call a nothingburger.

    Obviously there are loads of similar designs, but in a way that indicates illegal asset stealing? That’s a different question, and so-called “lazy design” aping on other creations doesn’t qualify as actual theft unless it can be explicitly proven.

    More grimly, it is a big corporation trying to squash an upstart competitor and suppress art. If they succeed then it is truly dystopian and a sign that we need more legal protections against overzealous copyright litigators.











  • There is 1.4E21 kg of water on Earth. 0.03% of hydrogen is deuterium, a suitable fusion fuel. H2O has an atomic mass of 18 and O has an atomic mass of 16, so Earth has 4.7E16 kg of deuterium readily centrifuged out of ocean water.

    D-D fusion converts about 0.1% of mass to energy (4 MeV / c^2 / 4 Daltons). E=mc^2. So we have 4.2E30 (420E28) Joules of fusion fuel ready for us on Earth. We used 2400 TWh of energy last year. If we used this amount indefinitely then we would have 485 billion years of fuel.

    Bonus: deuterium depletion would have virtually no environmental effect.
