Comment Re:Now do those Dyson Airblade hand driers (Score 1) 132

My local movie theater has them and they remodeled in 2021. I had to tie my shoe and glanced up at one and it had mold growing in the bottom of it. I think I'll stick with paper towels. If we are worried about killing trees for paper towels, we can make them out of hemp.

Tidal only produces energy when the tide is coming in or out which makes it predictable but it might not match demand. It would need to be paired with energy storage. It is also expensive and impacts marine life. Nuclear is great for base power demands. It provides very consistent power 24/7. Nuclear is safe as long as we don't build in an area prone to natural disasters. Three Mile Island was an experimental reactor with a bad design. It was also likely a murder-suicide over an affair. Nuclear waste is also not a problem if we recycled it. This is a political problem because one of the byproducts of recycling can be used in nuclear weapons. Both are options we should look at along with other non-fossil fuels. I'd like to see the geothermal resources to be tapped in Yellowstone. Make sure that the super volcano never goes. For Western countries, getting off of fossil fuels should be a national security issue. Look at the issues Europe has with Russia controlling its energy. Lower carbon emissions are a bonus.

I looked up some movies I liked and didn't like that came out in theaters to compare the number of Thanks. I see a lot of movies. I consider Movie 43 the worst movie I saw in theaters, and it only had 1 Thanks. Fear is the worst movie I've seen this year in theaters, and it only had one Thanks. Good movies tend not to be released in January, but the best movie with a 2023 release was Missing. It had one thanks. I looked up my favorite movie from 2022, Northman, and it had 7. It was not nominated for best picture so I looked at my favorite nominated movie, Everything, Everywhere, All at Once. I stopped counting at 30 Thanks. Knives Out was a popular movie and it had 17. If you really want an indication of a bad movie, look at how many rotten tomatoes reviews a movie has before Thursday of its release. Unless it's a tent pole movie like Marvel, a movie not being reviewed means the studio thought it was bad and didn't want critics to get a chance to let everyone know how bad it was before its opening box office.

The Soyuz capsule can only fit three people in it, and it can not be flown up autonomously like the SpaceX Dragon capsule. The replacement will have one Russian cosmonaut onboard. The 2 Russian Cosmonauts currently on ISS will use the new Soyuz. The American will fly back on the Crew 6 Dragon capsule. It was initially going to fly with 4, but instead, it will be launched with three and an empty flight suit for the American. Crew 6 was already scheduled for February. The 4th crew member was a Russian cosmonaut and is now scheduled for a later flight.

It being an open box makes Newegg look worse. Newegg should have known it had prior damage and they sold it anyway. If I buy an open box item, it should have nothing more than cosmetic damage and may be missing manuals. Gamer Nexus has stated they didn't know it was an open box until they recorded the second video because Newegg changed how they display open box items. Newegg use to put Openbox in the product title and I recall them doing this as well. They now have a small icon below the product title.
