And it worked, but unfortunately humans are too big for it to work on us. They were able to freeze hamsters entirely then reanimate them with a microwave.

Those costs with storage are if you want 100% power from solar which is not reality. US alone gets 20% of power from nuclear today, we’re not going around tearing down the base loa…

Yeah, my opinion on how much should come from nuclear is that current levels (~20%) are enough to fill the rest in with renewables. I'd love to be France (~50%) but there is so muc…

Alternative to natural gas? Wind, geothermal, or nuclear. Wind is already in the northern half of the country and operates well when winterized, unlike the ones in Texas that broke…

Agreed. I misunderstood your comment and got too hot-headed. Sorry about that. Yes, the 95% renewables is the number we should be shooting for not 100% as that causes battery backu…

My comment is not misleading, you're just using outdated data from 2022. Sure, happy to quibble over units. The most recent mid-2025 data is from lazard here, it echos exactly what…

That is not correct, and doesn't even pass the sniff test. Solar is deployed at ~$2/watt and you're saying batteries are increasing that cost 2.5x to 10x? So, someone installing a …

US deploys nuclear energy at over $10/watt meanwhile solar and wind are deployed around $2/watt (for levelized cost of electricity) including battery storage which means they are d…

You're discounting the immense carbon footprint of building a new car then shipping it to the dealer. A number I remember, that might be wrong, is that over 50% of a car's lifetime…

I attempted suicide at fifteen years old (~2009)--three schools, two countries, and dad had lost his job twice in just three years. I'd say for me it was entirely based on social i…

When social security was started 159 people payed into it per recipient. Nowadays it's about 3 people paying in for a single recipient. It's absolutely tied to population.

Due to some unforeseen circumstances in the last couple of months I've had to take over (only 2 hours) the allowed PTO from my company so I'm definitely not able to take a week off…

I live in the south and have a 2 hour flight to Boston. I was flown up there about a month ago for a day of job interviews, but didn't get the job. A job before I move is the goal …

I'm a software engineer currently living in a small tech market and looking to move to Boston, MA and only Boston, MA. I just started working with a recruiter this week and he has …
