Construction of French Fusion Reactor Underway
GarryFre writes "It has been said that fusion is 50 years away for quite a few decades, but now work has actually been started. Digging has begun in the south of France on the planned site for France's first fusion reactor. A tokomak is a torus shaped magnetic confinement device which is necessary to withstand the temperatures associated with fusion that are so high, solid materials can't hold them. As such, the building represents the future core of ITER (International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor.) It will be interesting to see if it takes 50 years to build it."

How high?
so high, solid materials can't hold them.
HOLY FUCK!
And the whole business about not being able to put a veil over your face.
The issue is about romanticizing about certain people or groups.
love is just extroverted narcissism
"They are far more socialist than we ever were (A good thing, IMHO, but still, bad example.)"
That's the problem with socialism. Good idea, bad in practice.
Like every other form of modern government. Good reason to establish the least government practical.
deleting the extra space after periods so i can stay relevant, yeah.
Nor anonymising headgear.
"a complete communist murder on the other"
For the kiddies who bought his t-shirt but not his book, Che believed is sacrificing peasants for the communist cause. One example is when a government is moderate and does not abuse its people and the people have little interest in the communist cause he advocates waging terrorist attacks and guerilla warfare against the police and isolated military units in order to push the government from a moderate posture to a repressive heavy handed one. Che summarized this as if the peasants are not miserable then create the conditions to bring about their misery, then they will be more open to communism. Che argued that the pain and death experienced by the peasants was an acceptable price to pay for bringing about a communist state. That in the long run the peasants will be better off. In other words the ends justify the means.

Yeah, I'm sure any other ethnic cleansing operation would be met with indifference, since it wouldn't be the fancy magical gypsies that everyone loves.
