I was curious about your point that we only have ~20 years supply. The article you linked doesn’t really defend that estimate, I think it’s actually pointing out that’s the absolute floor of our supply.

It mentions estimates of undiscovered uranium and also multiple pathways to extend that estimate if there was demand to improve the technology or increase our supply. It sounds like realistically we could find the material for powering all of our energy using fission if we had the demand to do so.

I’m not sure if only ordering from legit chains helps anymore. I’ve heard (and it’s mentioned elsewhere in this thread) of chains sub-contracting with ghost kitchens to offload the delivery traffic from their real locations. No idea on how they can do quality control with these sub-contractors.

We’ll start being asked for utility bills during interviews and recruiters will screen for people with heat pumps. “Candidate must have updated insulation and new windows”

He’s accused of conspiring to trick voters into using fake voting methods so they didn’t vote. How would you react if someone created a fake voting location and put a full page ad in a newspaper telling people to vote there?

This almost happened before when Trump issued an executive order for Bytedance to divest TikTok. Most of the media outlets reported that Bytedance was actively courting U.S. corporations to buy Tiktok. I'm sure there was a lot more going on behind the scenes but I don't think the automatic reaction would be to shutter TikTok.

I think the passive system will likely using steering wheel sensors and driving-facing cameras to detect if a person is paying attention similar to Teslas requirement for FSD

People with serious mental health and/or addiction issues

I did a similar program in 2011 for one of the largest life insurance companies in the U.S. At the time, I thought it was a new program to get COBOL programmers since they were becoming more difficult to hire but your comment made me realize they likely always hired this way.
