    World’s first nuclear fusion plant being built in US to power Microsoft data centers

    Granted it might seem reasonable to assume that. I assumed that myself, before I did a fairly extensive study of fusion power. The plasma is extremely hot but very thin. It cools very rapidly on contact with materials which are at normal temperatures, and without magnetic confinement...

    World’s first nuclear fusion plant being built in US to power Microsoft data centers

    No, not remotely. Loss of containment could possibly damage the containment vessel or "magnetic bottle", perhaps, but often doesn't even do that. No explosions. No Three Mile Island radiation leaks.

    Should Billionaires Exist?

    Exactly. Very often, billionaires are people who created wealth (and jobs) through innovation of some kind.

    Should Billionaires Exist?

    Most billionaires are such because they founded a company or invented something that large numbers of people found very useful. IE Bill Gates, Elon Musk, etc. Their billions are chiefly in the form of stock ownership in their companies, not hordes of gold. By means of this stock they...

    Did both parties have a reason to keep the Epstein info secret?

    I have a feeling that if the entire list came out, and ALL those on it were prosecuted or removed from office.... Capitol Hill would be nearly empty.

    Confederate flag, racist or heritage?

    Largely a matter of perception in the user and the viewer. I had a black work buddy who had a confederate battle flag window-sticker on his truck; a big one. Naturally people often asked him about it, and he replied "I'm a rebel, that's why I have it." He viewed it as a counter-cultural...

    The worst Gun(s) you have ever owned.

    Bersa, a Beretta knockoff. I bought a .380 in my early 20s because it was cheap. Well, there was a reason it was cheap. It was reasonably accurate but the DA trigger was rough, and the darn safety broke off, just snapped one day for no reason. Sold it to a gunstore for what I could get and...

    Corporal punishment

    Since this thread has been necromancer-ized, I have a few more thoughts. One of my nieces had three children. They were apparently all pretty mild mannered and responded to fairly mild discipline and turned out fine. Then, she had The Twins. They were unexpected (she was almost 40) but not...

    Did Trump break his promise and the law at the same time with this attack?

    Around a dozen Presidents have committed US forces without congressional approval, Rep and Dem. There's a provision that allows them to do that for up to 90 days without congress, because shit happens fast these days.

    The United States and the World can not take the risk whether Iran has a Nuke or Not

    Poison gas is one thing. Nukes are the big thing. Israel is tiny, a few nukes would destroy the place. Nukes could seriously damage the US. They've been saying death to America and Israel since I was a kid.... have you not been listening? They're fanatics.

    The United States and the World can not take the risk whether Iran has a Nuke or Not

    The only real threat from Iran at this time is terrorism from their puppet groups. But if they get nukes, its a whole new world... a nightmare.

    The United States and the World can not take the risk whether Iran has a Nuke or Not

    If Israel had not struck their nuclear sites repeatedly in the past they might already have them. If they EVER get them, they will use them. The first hint will be a mushroom cloud over Tel Aviv. The second might be NYC or DC. I don't think we can take the risk, and I've been saying so for...

    The United States and the World can not take the risk whether Iran has a Nuke or Not

    To me it is self-evident that we can't let the fanatics ruling Iran to have nuclear weapons, and that is exactly what they are trying to do (observe the runaround they've been giving the atomic energy watchdog for decades now). The mullahs and fanatics, if they obtain nukes, will use them...

    Do you own a firearm ?

    Yes, and no. We do in fact lock a lot people up for "victimless crimes" and other minor BS that is handled differently elsewhere. But at the same time, we have people, and I've seen this myself in my days in LE, who are out on bond after committing 7 serious felonies including attempted...

    Do you own a firearm ?

    In my opinion, it is two things. 1. Gun ownership was never widespread among the UK citizenry, no sense of it as a political right, and so on, so the UK doesn't have millions of unregistered guns floating around. 2. Cultural. Brit roughnecks may beat the stuffing out of you but are more...
