Beyond replacing fossil fuels plants, nuclear plants can also help power atmospheric decarbonization (with their excess baseband power) as well as desalination plants if close enough to a coast.

There's a lot of projects that depend on cheap and abundant energy that can further help undo some of the damage from a century of fossil fuels usage.

While the design lifespan of nuclear plants might be 30-40 years, newer ones are designed for 40-60 years of operation right off the bat.

So it's a bit of a sticker shock at first but even getting just 40 years of benefits from each plant is huge.

A big part of the problem is we don't look at these longtime operation periods and we externalize (or just ignore) the CO2 emissions as costs of running cheaper gas and coal power plants.

The story of "Second Sight" and the folks that depended on them is pretty sad. I hope there's some kind of backup plan in case the company goes under, gets acquired, or decides to abandon existing technology. Like placing the key tech in a trust of sorts.

Reminds me of Coffee Stain Studio's trailer for the release of Goat MMO Simulator:

You guys (mods) are doing a helluva good job. A very civil request for the OP to correct the slight omission, encouragement and polite follow up, didn't just silently delete the post.

Kudos!

Wording related to the release of all the hostages was added, hence why the US didn't veto:

https://news.un.org/en/story/2024/03/1147931

The UN Security Council on Monday passed a resolution demanding an immediate ceasefire for the month of Ramadan, the immediate and unconditional release of hostages and "the urgent need to expand the flow" of aid into Gaza.

Emphasis mine.

I would skip it. Turns out it's a 3D movie and a gangbang.

Looks like a "super automatic" espresso machine.

It grinds the whole beans and typically they also have a doser (measures the weight or quantity of the ground up coffee beans), then it tamps the grounds, brews the coffee (which is some at a specific temperature and pressure), then ejects the used up coffee puck in a bin in the bottom of the machine.

The mechanism for the automatic tamping, brewing (with pressure valve) and ejection is one very complicated piece as well as the controls for the motor that operates it. Then there's the temperature and pressure controls for both the brewing of the coffee and the milk frother the machine likely has.

Edit: Video with partial teardown and which shows how the internals operate

They should use AI to help the folks in medical billing.

An AI chatbot that will continually call the insurance company until your procedure gets reimbursed.

Nice quiet neighborhood with beautiful mature trees!

There's been a lot of advice for Linux Dedicated Servers saying the servers cannot run mods. I wanted to clarify with the above that you can run some mods without resorting to running the Windows Server via Proton/Wine.

DirectTV DSS was huge when it came out.

Now you only needed an 18" dish, no need to move it once it was aimed. Digital quality and 480p if I remember right.

Yeah, people kept using them to fill the bank with bees.

Or you had to write down a long ass code and re-eneter it when you were ready to continue!

Bet you could eat a hundred of them.

Your quote above is the tl;dr of the article.

Trump only offered 100m on the 450 million due on the NY fraud case, the court rejected the offer (yesterday Feb 28), ergo Trump is broke.

No new information past that.

It will be interesting to see what NY does next.

March 25th is the next date of interest:

https://www.nytimes.com/2024/02/28/nyregion/trump-bond-civil-fraud.html

The attorney general, Letitia James, is expected to provide Mr. Trump a 30-day grace period, which will expire on March 25, at which point she could move swiftly to seize Mr. Trump’s bank accounts and perhaps take control of his New York properties.

Reminds me of the £350 million a week the UK was supposedly sending the EU in the Brexit campaign.

The claim was inflated, but also they never intended to spend that on the NHS as was insinuated in the ad.

https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/vote-leave-brexit-lies-eu-pay-money-remain-poll-boris-johnson-a8603646.html

The sustained belief also comes despite the government having shown no sign of spending the supposed £350m extra a week on the NHS, as the advertisements controversially suggested.

Get more pissed:

About 1 in 5 unvaccinated people in the U.S. who get measles is hospitalized.

Encephalitis. About 1 child out of every 1,000 who get measles will develop encephalitis (swelling of the brain) that can lead to convulsions and can leave the child deaf or with intellectual disability.

Death. Nearly 1 to 3 of every 1,000 children who become infected with measles will die from respiratory and neurologic complications.

And there's more!

Not sure of that, but there are discs which are made for archival purposes:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M-DISC#Durability_claims

In 2022, the NIST Interagency Report NIST IR 8387[22](Page 12), stated that M-Disc is an acceptable archival format rated for up to 100 years+.
