This is very flawed. The correct analogy is they never had a good paying job in the first place and where never is a position to get the loan, but lied on the loan application to live well beyond their means. They then got more loans by lying on even more applications. Sooner or later you have to pay back both peter and paul. And in this case both peter and paul found out they were lied to and are none too happy about it.
Probably would have been fine if Greece hadn't cooked the books just to get the Euro in the first place. Starting from a position of fraud is not conductive to a stable economy. Doing nothing to keep promises made for the next X years doesn't help either.
And yea I am really sure everyone is going to be just clamoring for Greece;s own currency... not.
I have 10T of personal disk space right now at home for nothing more than the crap i can't be bothered deleting. How is 40GB even considered a lot? Do you think visa transaction history fits in 40GB?
So all web browsers must use this mandatory memory model regardless of underlying platform? Does JS give you access to this? You use those opcodes in normal applications?
Lets be clear. If it is as general as js it won't be safe. There will be bugs, there will be issues, there will be stupid users that click "Yes debit my credit card $1000 and upload all my personal information.
Sure there will be sandboxes, but they have bugs and errors too.
It tends to be linear because art assets are so bloody expensive these days. Oh and everyone complains if you don't have "XX hours of gameplay.. on the super easy settings".
Oooh I want to add my favorite: No flying jet packs, unless you can figure out how to create a longlasting stream of gas of sufficient momentum to lift a human which won't burn his legs off.
For a laugh i once calculated the neutrino "jet pack" plausibility. Apart from MW and GW of required power, *even* neutrinos in sufficient momentum density do interact enough to still burn the legs off.:D
More seriously: About the only thing that would work is go bigger, ie a back pack gyro or something.
This is false. If it produces neutrons it can be used to breed Pu. If it can breed Pu its a proliferation risk plain and simple. Oh and even *without* breeding Pu, U233 can and *was* used in a bomb and since Thorium reactors need to reprocess, then the gammas have to be dealt with anyway, so again still doesn't fix proliferation.
NO they didn't. They had a small scale reactor that ZERO breading. That had issues with Corrosion and other problems. Perhaps you should read what oak ridge actually did before spouting off like the tool you are.
If momentum is not conserved. Neither is energy nor relativity. So all those experiments must be in error somehow... or your wrong. Forces are *between* things, so momentum is conserved. So is energy and its all relative.
A good scientist doesn't waste time on bullshit. And violating momentum conservation is bullshit.
If they are asserting the same claims as the EM drive. Then i hope so.
reactionless propulsion in a vacuum means free energy. Literally it is an over unity device. Yea pretty safe to call bullshit if that is what is claimed.
Oh and this is in newscientist. If you want shit science stories its the place to go. For good stuff, not so much.
No it doesn't... Oh jeze another Thorium is like perfect safe clean not really nuclear nuclear.
First of all it produces the *same* waste as any other properly managed reprocessing cycling with breading. Yep you get similar results with Uranium.
Second, your burning U233 and so you get the same decay heat, the same "turn it off" issues. Sure LFR address some of this. But that has *nothing* to do with Thorium. So no its not 100% can't possibly release radioactive materials.
Thirdly it is *not* proven tech and would be a 20+year project to probably validate and commercialise it. And that is optimistic. It has never been show to be able to have a breading ratio of 1. In suti reprocessing has not been demonstrated. And some of the corrosion issues and proposed solutions have not been fully addressed. A 10MW reactor that has decommissioning issues has not shown *any* of the claimed Thorium magic.
If you are ageless, with current fatal accident rate and all else being equal (of course it won't be), the average life span would be something like 400 years IIRC. Again assuming your frozen in age with a job and stuff.
My wife doesn't think i will make 60 with the shit i get up to. And tbh i am surprised i made it to 40. It has been touch and go a few times.
But if I did become ageless, i wouldn't assume i going to be dead anytime soon, and well not aging also has other benefits..... Why squander them?

Why in gods name would you coat it with 1 inch of steal? That is up there with Wookies on Endor.
At those temperatures its a gas. It is over the critical pressure/temp so its just gas...
Were does this bullshit come from? What you think we are going to be Venus in a 100 years. Get off the koolaid dude and whatever your putting in it.
You may want to look up Venus weather patterns. It is quite possible on sphere.

Bloody brilliant. Next time it's my round i will get them homeopathic beer! Or whiskey :D.

I have my doubts.

We are working on the cure. Probably will be too late for us however. Probably.
matter and energy may be equivalent. But neither is momentum.
NO they didn't. They had a small scale reactor that ZERO breading. That had issues with Corrosion and other problems. Perhaps you should read what oak ridge actually did before spouting off like the tool you are.
True, but that is getting a little pedantic for the level of discussion here.
Gravity is a force *between* things. You fall to earth and the earth falls up to you.
Nope... If there is no reaction mass, then its over unity regardless of how much energy it consumes in some characteristic time. It is easy to prove.
And lets put a magnet on it! Magnets, how do they work?

Well i for one, intend to live forever. Or die trying :D.
