moosebear847··on New superconductor microprocessor yields a substantial boost in efficiency
These risks will most likely only reduce over time as our science and knowledge develops, barring a world-affecting mistake or war. If we can make a ton of energy, we can do many other things like launching the waste into outer space, and having a positive ROI by making more energy than it cost.
moosebear847··on New superconductor microprocessor yields a substantial boost in efficiency
In the future, I don't see why there's anything holding us back from splitting a bunch of atoms and having tons of cheap energy.

The 503s are a part of the game, similar to when you try to go to your favorite spots but they're closed because of covid.

Discord imo feels like 10 different spammy chat concert halls (rooms of 50+ people). Feature-wise though it has great group audio chat, and okay(a bit low-quality)-but-immediately-available video chat.

Strong opinions could be bad at the start, when nobody really actually knows what the heck is going on.
moosebear847··on Ticketmaster admits it hacked Songkick before it went out of business
Seriously, as messed up as this is, what TicketMaster did is completely rational if the game is all about making $$ and the rules say, "$10 million fine. 1 guy go to jail. go directly to go and continue to collect $x billion/year".

Seconded! I'm very early into a first grow and it's so exciting seeing your first baby leaves growing.

It finally feels like I'm putting my college physics to use and building on it. You're trying to control the environment, with many different factors, as perfectly as you can. To do it well, you have to understand the principles behind each different factor.

E.g.: In controlling temps and humidity which is important for plant respiration, why does a lower temperature hold less moisture? Heat is kinetic energy, and a higher temp (more heat) means more molecules on avg have enough energy to become a gas.
