Is TAE even considered to be one of the frontrunners in the fusion race? It seemed like Helion and CFS were expected to be the top dogs. Regardless, if TAE reaches commercial milestones, it would help torpedo the coal and petroleum sectors. Which would be a funny thing for Trump to back financially.

Thailand, the Phillipines, Japan, India, and others might disagree.

Not surprising. Republicans love burning stuff for power. Fusion is right up their alley!

Didn't you claim that he was in Singapore? He'd have to have pretty good aim to hit someone at MIT from there.

Eh? Trump is after solar and wind, not hot fusion. He might have pulled some funding here and there but nobody's trying to actively halt fusion research in the MAGA camp.

I remember when Firefox came out (first as Phoenix), it was the light and simple browser separated from the huge Mozilla suite. If Mozilla wants to slop it up with AI, they might as well change the name. I know, nothing about web browsers has been simple and light for at least a decade, but we could at least pretend.

You might like WaterFox better.

WaterFox works well and (so far) hasn't leaned into the AI crap. My guess is it'll strip that out but we'll see.

I'm guessing they can think outside the boxy coordinate system that our regular Cartesian bears use.

If that can be proved, then maybe Ukraine has a case. If it can't then they don't. If various parties in the Stans are laundering parts through multiple channels (rather than buying direct) then there would be no way for OEMs to know that their parts are ultimately bound for Russian drones or missiles.

That's different, and amounts to a conspiracy in terms of facilitating evasion of export controls. If you can prove that then you have a case. But do you?

Jumpin' Jesus on a pogo stick! Everybody knows the burrow owl lives in a hole in the ground! Why the hell do you think they call it a burrow owl, anyway!?

Blaming tech companies for Russia's evasion of sanctions seems foolish. You'd have to prove that said companies conspired with the Russian Federation to evade sanctions.

Russia is destroying itself. Anyone who cares for the future of the Russian people would halt the war in Ukraine immediately.

HBO went well out of their way to pull in Sesame Street/Sesame Workshop and take their programming off PBS, leaving PBS with rerun scraps. Several years later, that plan is dead and Sesame Workshop is out on the streets.

Take shots at whomever you please. The results are the same.
