I disagree. Minimum wage is minimum wage. If you don’t care about the moral implications of the for profit prison system… Paying equal wages for prisoners will force higher wages in the non captive population.

What the fuck is this headline? The main subject of the reporting is the online reaction to the actual news story. Why can’t they just report the event and not people’s reaction to it?

Surprisingly, Star Wars is a great example of this. A rinky dink political group (rebels) blowing up a military installation (death star) is terrorism. That does not mean the action was unjustified.

That feels like the government placing limits on the rights of corporations to express political views, which SCOTUS has stated is illegal (if you define speech as campaign contributions, which it does).

If he tried, it would at the very least cause a constitutional crisis. Not to say that means much anymore, but it’s a thread I’m willing to hang onto.

I agree, I think we are witnessing the global influence leader transition from the US to China. All they had to do was provide investments in lower income countries and stability at the national leadership level. The US did the rest by exploiting those same lower income countries for centuries and not providing a stable foreign policy.

It surprises me that bringing the server in house especially for emergency services isn’t a priority.

If their claims are true, yeah. That’s how I read the implications.

If you’re not female, you’re dead! Not a threat, just a fact.

Or you can season the shit out of it. That will also smooth out the surface. Seasoning basically makes non-stick layers on your pan using burned oil.

Preferably outdoors wipe a thin film of cooking oil on the pan and heat it up till it smokes, leaves smokey for a bit, cool down and repeat.

It’d probably be smart to read real instructions somewhere else, but that’s the jist of it.

Is this the ceramic coated ones?

Thank you for this researched, thought out answer. I really appreciate the time you put into it. Super interesting topic and I’m glad to learn more!

They can’t control which particles fuse though. The Helion energy reactor still has the particles for deuterium to deuterium fusion. 50% of the time that gives your tritium+p and 50% is He3+n. I don’t know the preference of each fusion event in their reactor, but not all events will produce charged particles.

The way I understood it, the system used electromagnets to create a magnetic containment field to drive the fuel together to create the fusion event. That same magnetic containment field would experience a force from the produced charged particles. That force would produce a current in the electromagnets. That current would be stored in capacitors as a voltage which would be used as the energy source for the next magnetic compression cycle. The excess energy stored in the capacitor after the compression would be ‘generated’ energy.

Yes! That is super cool tech. If I remember correctly, only about half of the fusion reaction energy was produced as charged particles though. The other half was free neutrons which are notorious for not interacting with the EM field.

I love the idea, it is such a cool direct energy capture method, but it is inherently inefficient.

I’d love to be proved wrong. I did a quick search and couldn’t find the company I’m thinking of, so I’m going off memory.

That they are, but they’re still spinning magnets like our honorable ancestors did.

It’s why photovoltaics are so cool. Direct electricity generation without having to spin magnets in circles like neanderthals.

What is the other meaning of undead?

That tiny smile made me smile!

It’s measures your compliance with the banking industry. No bearing on how well you treat others.
