Oh, I got it. You're not even going to shut up and let it lay there.

I cook my own breakfast. Not in a facility. So wiggle your way out of it, but you're a typical Lefty, not disrespectful, but dismissive, superior, and unassailable.

You might be all that, but cheap shots don't look good on you. So blame me for not getting the joke. Yoi weren't trying to be funny, you were just being you.

Comment Good. Screen Culture was a plague. (Score 3, Insightful) 24

Screen Culture in particular was spamming YT with fake trailers years before AI really blew up, and labeled them very, very deceptively ("Official Trailer Release", and such). YouTube should have banned them years ago, and the studios should have sued. Good riddance to bad rubbish.

Why would your think I would not vaccinate my children against measles? Are you so blinded by hate that you don't even bother to ask? Yes, you are.

Having suffered the mRNA vaccine I'm no longer blindly trusting Moderna for one.

And, while we're at it, you're proposing that your judgment be substituted for the parent's. You have objective proof that yours is more correct of course. But at least you believe it's objective proof. So you sleep at night just fine, and many a parent will sleep at night just fine, because they believe just like you believe. They just believe something different. And much of what you spelled as truth is just your religion and not mine.

The reason why the US president needs so much power is actually not because the congress doesn't work but because the president is both the head of state and the head of the government. Basically, they need a prime minister to be able to remove power from the president.

They aren't clones, they are just the optimal shape. The USSR's Buran had similar claims made against it, but it was very different to the Shuttle. No main engines, larger, different mission profile, and much faster turn-around times. It's just that the best shape for a spaceplane is the shape that the Shuttle is, so every other one looks like a "clone" of it.

Yep. Similar to aircraft. There's a reason why planes that perform a specific function at specific performance parameters tend to look alike. Because the parameters demands certain shapes, airflow, capacity, etc, and you end up with planes doing the same mission but designed by different teams yet look alike. See the DC-10/L-1011 airliner situation.

Comment Re:Plasma and fusion science is pointless (Score 2) 59

The stable genius jr. has concluded that fusion technology is pointless anyway. Coal and oil are the future! Soon also on Mars.

Oh FFS. Trump is the most pro-nuclear president in four decades, including supporting fusion research and exploring new reactor designs: Trump Bets Big on Nuclear

"United States President Donald Trump is putting his money where his mouth is as he doubles down on efforts to accelerate the expansion of the country’s nuclear energy sector. The government will spend billions in public funding to reinvigorate U.S. nuclear power, following decades of underinvestment. Unlike renewable energy, Trump views nuclear power as key to expanding the U.S. electricity generation capacity and recently announced the target of quadrupling nuclear capacity by 2050.
In May, President Trump signed an executive order calling for the U.S. to develop 10 new large nuclear reactors by the end of the decade. In addition, several tech companies, including Alphabet, Amazon, Meta Platforms, and Microsoft, are providing billions in private funding to restart old nuclear plants, upgrade existing ones, and deploy new reactor technology to meet the growing demands from the data centres powering advanced technologies, such as artificial intelligence.

The U.S. Department of Energy’s (DoE) loan office will dedicate significant funds to the nuclear energy industry to support the development of new reactors. This week, the Energy Secretary Chris Wright stated, “We have significant lending authority at the loan programme office By far the biggest use of those dollars will be for nuclear power plants — to get those first plants built.”

"Alex Jones and Charlie Kirk..."

It's not that Alex Jones was 'cancelled', he was sued, lost, and had a $1.4 Billion judgement levied against him. With 'support' like that I would rather be left alone.

Charlie Kirk, as you know, was murdered not because of what he said, but because he was winning the argument, over and over. Those against his arguments, they do not take losing well. They react violently when all other alternatives fail.

"This kind of thing isn't something you hear of in other parts of the world"

You may not hear it often, but in the parts of the world in the midst of civil war and/or revolution you most certainly do. And the US is in the midst of a revolution, real. You haven't recognized this? Well, you are not at all alone. Your mistake does not disprove it.
