From my background working in the Fusion Division of the US Department of Energy I'm skeptical. First I doubt it can be made to work. Second the engineering challenges are such that fusion power, like fission power, will never be economically competitive to gas and renewables.

Every project has gone way overboard. The one attempt at building a mini-reactor was abandoned in mid-project due to cost overruns.

Look at the complexity of ITER. Even in the small chance that usable fusion can be achieved, it will suffer from the same problem that fission does. They are both too damn expensive to be competitive with renewables or natural gas.

I do not object to the discussion of Gaza. I object to the lack of attention of other atrocities, Sudan, Myanmar, Uyghurs, and various other humanitarian disasters. Israel is being held to a differentstandard than other countries. No one is calling for the erasure of China, or the Gulf states supporting Sudan. I am happy so many countries are supporting the creation of a Palestinian state. They have beenoffered a state three times, and turned it down because they did not want to give up their goal of eradicating Israel. Maybe this time they will take up the offer. I wonder why only Israel is held to a standard? I'lll let you. guess——

Everytranscriptshould not only include the student's grade but also the average grade of the class. This would give employers and admissions officers a better understanding of the meaning of the grade.

Schools can only do so much. If the kid's family life is inadequate, or abusive the kid comes to school with two strikes against him. A relative who runs a pre-school says that three-year olds from successful families, when they came to her school, are advanced over the others. It's not financial capital That is a proxy for familial capital, educational capital, and social capital. Most families that have those three, are affluent, but some immigrants who arrive with oinly the shirt on their backs have these three and their kids do well

Homeschooling is happening in non-union states too.

Leaked methane is a greenhouse gas with eighty times the power of carbon dioxide.

Chinese Solid-State Battery Breakthrough Powers 800-Mile Range Chinese automakers have introduced a new solid-state battery technology that offers double the energy density of current market models, potentially powering electric vehicles for 800 miles on a single charge. Solid-state batteries are safer and more stable than traditional lithium-ion batteries due to their solid electrolyte, enabling faster charging and eliminating fire hazards. https://oilprice.com/Energy/En...

CBS has an average of 5 million viewers each night (https://www.pewresearch.org/journalism/fact-sheet/network-news/). This is out of a US population of over 350 million. Like all conventional TV news, it has become a fringe influence. Walter Cronkite is long dead. For better or worst, most people get their news from TikTok or Instagram.

The Palestinians were offered their own country in 1947, 1967 and 2000. They rejected these because the goal is the complete destruction of Israel. This goal is still in Hamas' charter.
