Nuclear ain’t nuclear. Uranium fission plants allow for nuclear weapons proliferation. Thorium fission plants don’t melt down, don’t create radioactive waste, and even use uranium fission waste so there’s less remaining. It can’t be used for bombs though. Why do you think the great powers opted for uranium technology? Thorium fission is a viable option, but we should stop just saying “nuclear”.

Purer ≠ cooler

Fucking American class culture and anyone who’s not an ignorant idiot is “a nerd”. Get fucked, The World

You pay tax. Tax is for roads, schools, and hospitals. Why don’t you get healed when you’re sick? Because you’re a sucker, bro.

A lot of USB receiving end ports break. It’s a problem with the hp laptops at my work. Unless they have another laptop I could use (cloud-based so swapping isn’t a problem, but laptop inventory is), then we have to put into it. It’s not the plug (male end), it’s the port (female end) that fails first, which is much worse.

The phrase is “free as in SPEECH/beer”, because it doesn’t make sense to say “freedom” - especially since that has all sorts of other connotations, especially in the USA. Everyone should be able to understand that free speech doesn’t mean a speech that you listen to at no cost to yourself. It means the ability to express yourself without censure. And beer… everyone understands that, and who doesn’t love free beer?

I think what happened is that someone typed “google” into Google, and broke the internet.

Occupational hazard. Doesn’t mean said engineer isn’t owed compensation though. On the contrary.

Chess is a really good game too

A better quote

The dot in between the 6 and the 9 is their dead baby.
