Doggo look like shrimp

Spite has kept me alive more than once.

It’s not good, but one takes what one can get in those moments.

Look, I’m pretty positive about VOA generally, but when a ‘fact checker’ marks it as less biased than AP, the fact checker needs to sit down and rethink its life.

Dissipating heat in space is actually one of the major issues that comes up in designs for space applications. It’s… not easy.

You’re out of your depth here… Those reasons for affordable solar cells on earth in no way directly translate to applications in completely different environments (planets or moons)

‘on earth’

Did you miss the bit where I specified space applications, or did you just ignore it?

The Apollo programme’s own geologist, Harrison Schmidt, has repeatedly made the argument for Helium-3 mining, whilst Gerald Kulcinski at the University of Wisconsin-Madison is another leading proponent. He has created a small reactor at the Fusion Technology Institute, but so far it has not been possible to create the helium fusion reaction with a net power output.

This idea of “well earth has solar, so solar must work just as well on the moon!” doesn’t take into account natural lunar resources (solar needs rare earth metals) , atmospheric conditions, thermal conditions, material transport, etc… Sure, a well-functioning moon settlement would probably have a combination of thermo, solar, and nuclear power,

Holy fucking shit, dude, natural atmospheric and thermal conditions and material transport are exactly why nuclear power seems dubious to me as the basis for a moon base. I’m a proponent of nuclear power here on earth.

but it is strange how you’re writing off one of the most promising forms of energy that excites and interests space scientists most.

“Space scientists” here meaning ‘you’, apparently, since major investment into space-based nuclear power for earth-orbit and lunar applications has been very slim since the 60s despite niche applications and a small chorus of proponents, not unlike ‘Practical fusion in 20 years’ types.

These issues you’re having just sound like cope due to the fact that the US is now lagging in space science.

Uh. Okay.

When someone does not like garlic bread, Allah Willing, they shall know no happiness, and shall not live long.

Why do any space exploration?

The issue isn’t space exploration or the concept of a base on the moon. The issue is a nuclear plant on the moon. There’s a reason solar cells are so universal in space applications near the Earth, and it isn’t because the space industry is obsessed with being green.

In an unprecedented move, all three campaigns – including Tebboune’s – also issued a joint statement late Sunday alleging “irregularities” in ANIE’s results, adding they wanted to make the public aware of “vagueness and contradictions in the participation figures”.

The preliminary results announced by ANIE said that Tebboune had won “94.65 percent of the vote”, with Hassani receiving 3.17 percent and Aouchiche 2.16 percent.

The final results gave Hassani 9.56 percent of the votes, and Aouchiche 6.14 percent.

… all of that is very concerning.

Critical support for [checks notes] Islamists creating massive environmental disasters off their own coast as a form of dickwaving?

Incessantly referencing Laurel And Hardy and other prominent comedians before that.

… why tho

That sounds like a maintenance nightmare.

Run it on moonshine.

The problem with peace platforms is that they’re very hard to change. AMLO ran on a ‘hugs, not bullets’ platform towards dealing with the cartels - but the cartels aren’t misbehaving kids or disgruntled impoverished folk. The cartels, at this point, are rational, self-sustaining actors - which means no amount of hugs will induce them to ‘kill themselves’ by dismantling the fundamental roots of their operations.

At the same time, such a peace platform means that any escalation will be called out as hypocrisy and blamed for any rise in cartel activity.

It’s a trap of AMLO’s own making, but it’s hard not to feel for him. Between the realities of the situation on the ground and electoral politics, he’s not exactly overflowing with options. One hopes Sheinbaum will feel more freedom to act when she steps into the presidency.

like yeah I know but not too my professor, amirite?

Unless…? 👉👈🥺

Quit speaking, you!

Just a load of junk!

Come to think of it, it’s a bit odd that she drank so many Pepsis yet remained so incredibly thirsty.

Pretty shit but still a much better ratio than what israel is currently managing.

On one hand, yes.

On the other, that’s the most damnation by faint praise phrase I’ve seen. “Our numbers resemble the low-count for the currently ongoing genocide, and we were on the ground instead of using indiscriminate artillery and airpower.”

Israel must be stopped. But it ain’t because of any merits or virtues of Hamas.

Napoleon did occupy Moscow, but it didn’t help him very much.

Because he was trying to wait for the Tsar’s peace negotiations. Not because taking Moscow wasn’t a major victory. The issue is that Napoleon had no intention of pursuing the war any further, but the Tsar was not willing to give up at the point they were at, because the Tsar realized that Napoleon wanted a quick surrender, not a chase across the Asian steppes.

The Russian method is the same as the Ukrainian method, but the drone is a man.
