  • It doesnt protect them. They want to sue other people for releasing their names and for associated "pain and suffering."

    This is a legal maneuver so the traitor cops can sue other people.

  • They have been leaked. It happened pretty much instantly after people found out.

    Officer #1: Alexander Everett

    Officer #2: Caitlin Rochelle

    Officer #3: Jason Marchione

    Officer #4: Sgt. Scotty Bach

    Officer #5: Vice detective Michael Settle

    Officer #6: Jacob Briskey

    This is just some complex legal maneuvering for lawsuits from the traitor cops.

  • 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.

  • They are ignoring the first and last things on your list, so that should speed the others up, right?

    Right?

  • Yup, they cleared out a restaurant and likely gave him the clothes he was kidnapped in.

    Its a PR move. "Ohh look, he just lives in el salvador now, no biggie. He goes to restaurants! Hes not in a brutal, filthy supermax prison where youre in solitary confinement for 23.5hrs/day!"

  • 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.

  • Yeah, i worked with someone in a complex field that had a very similar personality. Inanely abrasive, very intense person, but not threatening in any way. Instant temper, but not dangerous, would just lose their shit over anything. It was farcical.

    They were excellent at the job and adept at their hobbies, but basically insufferable in the same way as Jack.

  • 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.

  • Self signed certs about to get even more popular.

  • Fascism is when government and corporate powers fully mix.

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