Anyone still on X at this point is a Nazi collaborator.

You ended up actually selling your soul to a devil IRL in exchange for dark warlock powers?

I choose to imagine they both have equal kinetic energy.

Can I say Luigi

Or who’s to say that “Nicole” even exists?

Better yet. Return it with the trunk filled with gasoline.

“Don’t worry, I went ahead and topped off the tank for you.”

Or

“Damn it! I pressed too hard and the touch screen broke!”

Or if driving a cybertruck:

“I wanted to be a good neighbor, so I went ahead and ran it through the car wash. ‘Car wash mode?’ What the hell is that?”

It’s a great idea actually. People buy vehicles for reasons other than practicality. No one is buying a cybertruck because they’re looking for a practical vehicle. It’s all vibes. If people see Tesla dealerships being picketed, they know that there will be a lot of people who judge them harshly for buying a Tesla. And aside from some right wing asshats, no one really wants that kind of heat on them just for buying a damn car. People buy expensive cars because they want to be seen as cool. Protests serve to make Teslas as uncool as possible.

Bold of you to assume they aren’t already cooking the books. Though, I imagine they use some plausible deniability and have some bullshit AI cook the books for them.

What’s the easiest way to remove fingerprints from a corpse?

It can be done and has been researched. See Project Plowshare.

People who say we can’t build fusion reactors are only partially correct. (And no, I do not mean that we can build tokamaks that are net energy negative.) We can build energy-positive fusion reactors, and we’ve known how to do so since the 1950s.

The idea was that you would build an enormous underground chamber. Then fill it with salt. Then detonate a small hydrogen bomb inside the chamber, instantly boiling the salt. You then run the salt through turbines to generate electricity. You power a city by setting off a nuke every one and awhile.

The results of this work were that yes, it seems possible to build a power plant that runs off of hydrogen bombs. We do in fact know how to build a fusion reactor today. The problem? Simple economics. This method just isn’t cost-competitive with traditional electricity sources.

This should serve as a cautionary tale for those hopeful for the future of fusion or advanced fission concepts. It doesn’t matter if you manage to build a tokamak that returns net energy. Ultimately it’s just a cool science experiment. What DOES matter is if you can do it cheaply. And this is actually why I’m skeptical of fusion as a power source. Even if we do ever manage to make non-bomb fusion plants produce net energy, they would struggle to be cost competitive with renewables+batteries.

Why not use regular library software? Surely there’s a FOSS solution there.
