We need an alliance between nuclear fans and wind (heh) fans. You situate the nuclear fans in front of the wind fans' wind turbines. The wind fans then ask the nuclear fans about nuclear's ongoing problems with going over-budget on new builds and unresolved multi-century waste management commitments. The nuclear fans immediately try to hand-wave these objections away. The resulting draft turns the wind turbines. Viola, clean, green energy!

If you are a true connoisseur of cringe, see if you can find "The Eiger Sanction" with Clint Eastwood and George Kennedy. There's a part in that flick where Clint Eastwood's character pretends to be a gay-coded deliveryman with a package of dental floss. "What am I gonna do with this boxth of floth?" Unforgettably bad but mostly unforgettable :)

The Facts that you have presented to the Elon defense force gave the Elon defense force uncomfortable Feelings. Not Respecting the very important and precious Feelings of the Elon defense force and their meme coin twitter daddy is just about the very worst thing you can do! I hope that you will moderate your wrongthink in the future, comrade!

All I have to say about this is thank goodness for Gwynne Shotwell and JB Straubel. They adult so that Ol' Musky doesn't have to.

Like, thank you Musk for backing smart people like Gwynne and JB and giving the powder that they need to fire their flintlocks of excellence.

Dislike, no thank you Musk for your distracting and pointless pre-occupation with meme currencies and "I am 14 and I just read Heinlein and this is deep"-tier libertarian twitterings.

i think you and the above poster are in vehement agreement. ingesting 2 MBs of logs per minute is impressive in its pluperfect unimpressiveness.

maybe the presentation was called "Timmy's first named pipe" or "Sally explores /etc/logrotate.d"

I wonder why nuclear fanboys always attack low-carbon, low-capital renewables with a ferocity that they spare incumbent and well-financed, carbon-spewing fossil fuel power providers. i don't know if we could ever figure out "cui bono"!

certainly don't quit - but also create and curate a helpful paper trail - to reduce the likelihood of credibly being accused of job abandonment.

constructive dismissal is the name for the thing that is being done to you.

sorry you have to lawyer up but you have to lawyer up.

well, we haven't been gamma ray burst'd yet. sheepish thumbs up

I think Diaspora by Greg Egan covers some of this territory

...that or the much older idea that if the whole universe is the dream of a dragon (or a butterfly or Chuang Chou) then let's not do anything that's too startling or implausible so we don't wake them up and end it all!
