Ive been using pop-os for my desktop for years. Ive had no update headaches, roll back issues, or anything else that would compel me to swap distros for one that made these things better.

So to answer your question:

None of the above are compelling features that justify the work to switch off an already very stable distro.

The existential horror story Lena comes to mind.

It’s excellent, but horrible.

They had near 100% EV market share just a few years back.

Losing half the market in 3-4 years is a huge change for any company, even if some of it was inevitable as rivals caught up and suprassed their offerings.

If you’re going to do something wrong, do it wrong right.

The president of el Salvador publicized them first, while the meeting was ongoing.

They staged the meetup for propaganda. They weren’t going to let that go to waste.

This is the world’s largest thorium reactor. There have been other experimental ideas, but not many operational ones. The next largest operational Thorium reactor I can find is called kamini in India, which is 30kw. For scale, China’s reactor is 2000kw.

3Okw is a toy. That would power maybe 10 US homes. 2000kw? That’s more like 600 homes. Small, but usable. Fits the SMR niche well, actually. Making 1/1000th of the radioactive waste and basically no weapons grade materials locks in there too.

The article makes it very clear its running continuously, which is what they are celebrating. They have successfully refueled it while operating, which is a huge part of the “continuous.”

The article is all of 6 paragraphs. It’s not a difficult read.

“No quick wins” is some weird editorializing OP. That phrase is nowhere in the article. The closest thing to it is that China managed this breakthrough due to “strategic stamina,” i.e it took time to make this work. Since thorium reactors were proposed in the late 90s and this is the first that appears commercislly viable, that is literally true.

Overall, this is a huge accomplishment, especially if China is willing to share the design. Even if they aren’t, this should dramatically ramp down China’s fossil fuel usage over the next couple of decades, so its still a win for the rest of us.

Use the tmux resurrect plugin. It will restore your tmux session to its previous state after a restart, including programs if you like.

You can put off doing things “correctly™” even longer.

Your body would have to be entirely or largely immune to the effects of the gravity power to not be crushed by it in general. You certainly wouldn’t be able to fly, the basic “wish,” if your body was hammered by G forces every time you lifted off.

Since you need some level of immunity, just applying “gravity” to your body then applying your body to other things would excert that force on them.

Finding out all of the above is part of the fun.

With full, discrete control of gravity, even if it’s just localized to your body, you would become the deadliest person on earth. You would be invulnerable to physical impact. Your touch could crush any object. You would be literally unstoppable.

If the power is wider ranging? Well now. Youre a magneto level threat, or more if you want to get into the “can make blackholes” side of things.

So torture. Got it.

The gravity manipulation is much better if they are handing out options.

Fascism is when government and corporate powers fully mix.

So literally yes. This is proto-facism, writ large.

That she is mega wealthy, which provides the support for all her endeavors, but thinks shes successful because of personal effort.

This is what every wealthy person says to pretend their life is based on merit instead of a rotting system of exploitation.

6 x 6 mothefuckers. Y’all tell me that didn’t immediately form “36” in your brain.

Seems like the teacher was ahead of their time, or way behind it depending on whether they drew inspiration from Moms for liberty or Adolf Hitler.

Glad to help. I’ve been investigating my own solar install, so have been digging into the specifics a lot.

Note that the above are the “best case” numbers. Panels can put out less power for lots of reasons. They tend to lose a little bit of efficiency when they get older. Think 1%/year, but that’s just a rule of thumb. Being dirty can affect them, cloud cover, angle and position, and hilariously counterintuitively, if they get too much sun. Solar panels get less efficient the hotter they are, so an especially sunny day will lower the power output.

Leads to some complex effort to optimize, but honestly its power that just hits your house for free. That’s a fine thing in any circumstance.

It has many directions, not none.

Same problem, different cause.
