Paid off old nuclear is cheap but unsafe. New nuclear is the most expensive power there is, and takes forever to build and the result is not guaranteed to be reliable. Unless you’re Russia, or China.

And it’s unclear where you’ll be getting your fuel, nor is it guaranteed in future.

Nuclear has been slowly dying for a long time.

No, just laminated ones. Closed at one end. Easy enough to make or buy. You can even improvise the propellant.

I never understood why they never just bundled a bunch of carbon composite front loader barrels with electric ignition along with a laser pointer. No need for any metal nor 3d printing.

I was never banned. I stopped participating after the API debacle. I still read on sub daily via old.reddit.com but it is busily dying. It will probably be dead before they kill off old.reddit.com.

My phone runs open source ROMs. I don’t have a TV, but I do have an nVidia streaming box – I don’t assume anything I watch there is private. My doorbell is an electromechanical device hooked to a simple wire.

60% of people in UK are certified morons. Slightly higher than I expected.

Just use DACs within the rack. Single mode fiber patches and SFP+ optics are also cheap and easy to find.

I have 5 person annual plan which is still useful if you’re not limited to English – e.g. French is a bad match there. But I will be checking out Mango for sure.

Duolingo has gotten worse since they fired their human staff and started embracing AI slop.

Just develop fully autopoietic artificial photosynthetic systems. Piece of cake.

May I interest you in this resource? https://escholarship.org/uc/item/9js5291m

You might have heard of these fossil fuels we’re busily running out of. And fossil is still 80% of primary energy use so there is no renewable energy transition, and renewable infrastructure is being built almost exclusively using fossil fuels.

So this means future energy rationing. What’s the business case for AI?

They won’t.

Do you know how much energy you need to launch a kilogram into Earth orbit?

What luxury, it came with floppy drives!

Just buy a single 45" curved one then.

TRS-80 and TI 99/4A presumably?

I ran Linux 1994ish. Amiga OS before. Amstrad CPC 464 before. A friend ran Sinclair ZX-80, that was the first system I had access to.

If you care about freedom, use open source operating systems, and only buy hardware that support it.
