You don't mention (or I didn't see it) the ability to add books by scanning the isbn. Manually adding books is too time consuming.

Lots of very vocal yankees thought it was great when "pro-democracy" protesters in Hong Kong waved American flags and firebombed police and public buildings. That went on for about 6 months, if I recall. Karma's a bitch, America.

P.s. China never deployed the military in the Hong Kong insurrection.

According to the linked article this was achieved at 50 million degrees. The Chinese record was achieved at 100 million degrees.

I have also read that achieving productive fusion will require temperatures above 100 million degrees.

Most of my sources are pop-sci, so correct me if I'm wrong.

Russia asked for discussions on a new security infrastructure for Europe. The West refused out of hand because it expected Russia to collapse in the (then) coming war.

Russia did not collapse. It got stronger.

All this talk of the danger of Russia is self-fulfilling prophecy.

China will lead humanity into the future, while stupid US politicians desperately try to hold them back. Just wait and see how badly this will go for the West if we continue on the confrontational path!
