Broke: powering cars with cans of nuclear waste Woke: cylinder-driven UF6 pulse fission Did Rosatom actually know something when they included this thing into their pavilion?

The oil industry has been extremely loud about preparing jump ship due to the oncoming transition - and investing in the green. "And where did you thirst for energy bring you? Back to me"

Bernard Hill, most well-known as King Theoden of Rohan, dead at 79.

There's also the looking threat of a cooling water shortage, and adding more nuclear power onto that is bad news. Basically, we're looking at a crisis of the entire concept of an energy-efficient society, which has driven the expectation that energy consumption in developed countries should plateau, has plateaued... and investment into more capacity is unnecessary, if not outright counterproductive.

"So it's a Sokol suit for throwing tourists out of the capsule for slow bouts, one by one because otherwise the umbilicals would get twisted"

Now I have a photo of Gagarin as a Musketeer. Ho-ho-ho. NY Eve 1965

European and American battlefields and cemeteries were dug up en masse to use the human bones in sugar production; XVIII-XIXth century war graves may be gone entirely. Waterloo was a particular hotspot, with production started in the 1830s, and battlefield "harvesting" widely reported. https://www.science.org/content/article/now-we-know-where-dead-went-did-grave-robbers-plunder-battlefields

The new SpaceX EVA suits seem to be missing life support. External lights inside the main helmet are also a pretty dubious idea.

Certification, maintenance and driver acclimation to each of these modules could be a serious problem.

The 2K-wide cutbacks is what killed the game, really.

The demand for Toyota vehicles is relatively unelastic

It's a good thing I was rooting for Helldivers II from the rafters, knowing I don't exactly have the time to commit to playing. They've just jumped the shark by making PSN registration mandatory, ostensibly to streamline the banning of cheaters - but in practice, most bans appear to be players using VPN to access PSN from countries where it's not available. That includes Mainland China, where the game appears to have been sold officially (at least, I've found a yuan Steam price). What has followed is potentially the biggest review bomb in history.

Australia's Tritium croaked about a week prior, you'd think they'd be too busy celebrating and planning to gobble up its market share.

For the purpose of this discussion, since I parasitize on HeroForge, I decided to run some numbers. "Combat Patrol" is 12 Ultrasmurfs including two Terminators, and a half-sized beacon. Let's round that up to 15 minis, at 28 mm the Astartes are roughly comparable to the 30 mm humans. $150 Meanwhile, HeroForge offers similar minis at 13$ apiece, or 8$ just for the STL files. Ouch. If a quarter of an hour of searching is any indicator, there isn't much of a scene of dedicated 3D printing providers - the whole "culture" is about printing your own minis.

That's like trying to make big money off of books in the age of the photocopier. People will find a way to pirate STLs.

I found a pretty chonky rocket-propelled X-Wing from 2007. It didn't survive first flight.

That's either a Lancet in a very strange disguise, or someone is having way, way too much fun with a model airplane.

It's the blunt instrument that is a "haircut", hitting everyone with layoffs across the board. The only alternative is to become mired in picking whose pet project gets to die. And 2K hasn't been making particularly smart decisions in my memory.

ONE MILLION TONS The actually thought of airlifting crude oil back then...

A Hyundai Porter ice cream truck runs over 29 children in Kyrgyzstan. Cause of incident: disengaged handbrake, gravity. https://kabar.kg/news/v-suzake-minigruzovik-s-morozhenym-sbil-29-detei/ Truly there is no such thing as "too careful".

The US derivative of the 22,000-pound Grand Slam bomb was known as "Amazon". Fulfillment?

Hope is the first step on the road to disappointment.

Methinks that falls under Painter's Brush.

From a utilitarian standpoint, probably not. Given that we're talking WWI trench warfare, men and women alike probably get a mandatory close shave all over for pure sanitary reasons. Then there's also the grimdark lore and the fact that you don't want those de-individualized soldiers to start "accesorizing" themselves.

Not even that bad. As we see with the aftermath of the Boeing incident, merely giving press coverage to every last little incident can give the impression of a barely contained disaster.
