Practical power production through nuclear fusion still requires significant developments for it to be realised at scale, though several startups are already planning to deliver it within the next few years.
US-based Helion Energy secured the world’s first purchase agreement for nuclear fusion energy in 2023, promising to provide 50MW of fusion power to Microsoft by 2028.
I mean, time will tell. But that seems a bit sooner than 2100.
You’re not going to believe this, but people who didn’t vote for Trump are also losing their jobs
Can’t believe we have a press corps that is slavishly loyal to the institutions of power. One wonders who bankrolls their salaries, promotes their coverage, and advances their careers with special access to high ranking officials?
Oh, wait. I’m seeing it here. The military industrial complex.
One begins to question how she was awarded the prize in the first place
US doesn’t want a Russian outpost
Is that what Guantanamo Bay is for? To beat back the Russian invasion?
Cause I remember it being used for something different
Cuba has been the end game for Trump since his first term. Any liberal who continues to endorse and support the blockade is as MAGA as the rest of these chuds
I mean, again, this joke gets made all the time.
But you do need to know your audience. OP seems to think “we’re trying to have a baby” is personally offensive, so I have to assume they have very thin skin.
There’s good, actually.
Smaller communities don’t fill up with annoying bots and toxic personalities
Communities driven by bots should die
The funny thing about the comic is that I’ve heard this exact joke from a gay couple, responding to a straight couple saying it.
“What’s your New Years plans?”
“This year, we’re finally going for it. We’re going to try for a baby”
“Oh honey… messy kiss with partner… we’ve been going in raw for years. But hope you have better luck.”
Basically the state of RedditLemmy atm
I guess I’m curious what “enlightenment” you felt you got out of it.
I met people from a variety of backgrounds, including people who’d grown up overseas. I had roommates for the first time, which gave me a taste of living with others who didn’t share my same habits or hygiene. I started dating seriously for the first time. Experimented with alcohol and a few other substances. A bunch of friends came out of the closet. I spent every summer doing a different low wage job - grocery store, teacher, assembly line worker, entry level paid worker on a political campaign. Put more miles behind the wheel in my freshman year than my entire life previously. Got to watch a particle accelerator fire and buy a homeless guy a drink at a local bar.
Idk how to really nail it down in simple terms, but I had such a broader exposure to the rest of the world in those university years.
Agreed but I get annoyed at people who have this idea of if we just educate everyone -> utopia and that conservatism is a function of undereducation
Oh, I agree. Some of the worst reactionaries are college educated. I don’t think college makes you liberal.
What’s the old saying? “A Conservative is just a Liberal that’s been mugged by reality”?
I had more than a few diehard Republicans in my friend group in college. Like, I got to meet the kind of people you just see shit talking on CrossFire IRL. People who unironically thought we should do genocide in Iraq because these were subhumans who had forfeited their right to life. People who were in Engineering because they wanted to build the bombs we were dropping in Afghanistan. People who used the hard-r at the end of the n-word just to prove they could.
Also incredibly enlightening.
american claim their country is worse than iran
The worst country in the world is the one that is oppressing me, personally.
nobody cared

Somebody clearly cares
And then, despite finding out that Moody was in fact a Death Eater trying to kill him the whole time, somehow that didn’t taint his opinion on the Auror thing at all.
Moody wasn’t trying to kill him. He’d been kidnapped and replaced by a Death Eater in order to infiltrate the school. At the end of book 4, the deception is revealed and the death eater is arrested by the Aurors.
The real Moody returns in book 5 and serves as a loyal companion and mentor through the end of the series.
He had more experience by then end of the 7th book fighting Dark Wizards than most Aurors at the ministry would have. That job would have been boring as hell after Voldemort and the Death Eaters were defeated.
Voldemort is just the latest in a long line of evil wizards. They’re stubbornly common place.
I do think Harry’s career as an Auror can’t last. The best “old man Potter” story is going to read like a Harry Dresden novel - a washed up ex-cop turned private eye with as many enemies in the bureaucracy as the underworld.
But it’s reasonable for Harry to consider joining the Aurors after graduation, only to find out the hard way what being a Wizard Cop means in practice.
People who talk about how college makes you “Enlightened”, “Well Rounded”, etc. always baffle me.
Being a young twenty year old living apart from your parents among your peers with lots of free time to study and develop your talents enlightens you and rounds you out.
Universities are great because they facilitate that kind of social and intellectual development.
These elite prestigious institutions graduate some of the most evil and diabolical human beings driven purely by greed and prestige.
Evil people congregate in everywhere. I wouldn’t put this on universities specifically
They can’t even shut down the base in Greenland. There’s a reason DeGaulle kicked the US out in 1966. And why Okinawa residents have been lobbying to shut down the local base for decades.
Europeans have been under military occupation since the end of WW2, telling themselves the gun pointed at the back of their heads was aimed at the USSR, even after it dissolved.
Now they’re going to have to deal with a foreign hostile occupation whose roots have grown deep
Eye witness account plus video
Pretty famously, he climbed directly up on the tank and chewed out the driver, then got back down and continued to block the tank. Others in the crowd pulled him away back down the street. The tank didn’t try to run him over, he was never reported captured, and as far as we’re aware he’s alive to this day.
Imagine an American climbing onto the hood of an ICE van or stubbornly maneuvering in front of a vehicle.
I don’t understand. Trump’s only been president for 368 days.

Eventually. But, much like traditional fission power, you’ll need a very large and complex piece of infrastructure to deliver it.
You won’t be able to put a fusion plant in your basement like you can put solar on your roof.
