I've been looking for a way to attach my Bose Einstein condensates together and it looks like I've finally found it.

When websites start blocking clients that don't implement the wei handshake, you'll be forced to use one that does if you want to visit those sites. Firefox will either adopt it or become a second rate browser.

The kiwi ones have little poppy(?) seeds in them mimicking the seeds in an actual kiwi. I'm not a fan.

Beyond just trying to maintain a reaction, we'll need a design that allows for the extraction of working energy. At present, all designs require tons of additional energy to keep them cool. We're very far from any design that is power positive in a real sense. Any time you ask one of the fusion fanboys about this there's a lot of hand waving, but I've never seen any actual proposals to extract working heat from the reactor. Any designs that require supercooling are especially problematic. It's really difficult to extract heat capable of turning a turbine through the supercooled magnetic containment.

Fusion will happen, but not before a whole lot more money and time (in decades) disappears into the money pit.

I was at Buckingham Palace watching The Queen's ghost welcome a diplomatic party of chupacabras from Jalisco. I didn't even take my phone with me. I'm that stupid.

Some number of these are bots making fake accounts look like legitimate users. Eventually they'll be making pro-China/Russia/Israel/Whatever comments on political videos.

The whalebone hoop-skirt industry would like to vociferously disagree!

There's going to be a lot of conservative men clamoring for UBI, or more likely, cutting off their own nose to spite their face.

The alternative is that they just jack up the menu prices to accomplish the same thing. This is just the equivalent of pricing things at $19.99 because people don't understand that really means $20 which sounds like a lot more money.

No, you'd leave the store having paid $120 for groceries with no wellness fee tacked on.

Yes, and in reality. When you charge more per item for goods and services so that healthcare is included, they cost more.

You'll get no disagreement from me!
