Nuclear might have a smaller footprint (at least locally), but do you imagine the same people wouldn't oppose one of those in their vicinity?
You need a reliable source of cooling water for those, and the bigger the better (same as any conventional thermal power generator). Great at the coast or on a big river or lake, but pretty terrible otherwise.

@acrow quoted in In other news today...:
right now those rooftops are doing nothing other than keeping the sun out and keeping the rain out
And the walls, all they do is hold up the roof and keep the Mongolians from invading your home. Buncha slackers

@Dragoon said in In other news today...:
Then arrest those damn politicians. Biting people isn't legal (unless they asked, but that thread is ).

Are you calling the politicians rats? The rats are going to come bite you for insulting them so badly.

Huh, my walls seem to be more holding the floor down, and excluding wandering Chinamen more than Mongols. Is there some sort of inspector who can tell me whether a wide thin vertical structure is actually a wall?

Let's see... Couple years of COVID, teetering on the brink of global cooling, screw it - open it.

This type of hantavirus is less severe than the one that usually spreads in the Americas.
I mean, I know DC is out there but I was pretty sure it was still in North America.

That might convince my husband to move westward.

Bring it to your local church for a once-over before opening.

Spiders like to make a nest in a warm, enclosed space. I once found one in a light fixture. Ended badly for the fixture. Turns out spider secretions are corrosive.
Anyways. Warm, enclosed spaces. Cabinets. Breaker boxes. DVRs. Computer cases...

Golly, I suppose I've run afoul of Big Wall, or some particularly humorless sad shell of wasted life, not sure.
Also, sufficiently hard stuff goes right through these things. That ain't right.

It turns out goddamn queues can be consumed by anything with corresponding goddamn access to them. I think I already knew this, but that's the way the news goes.

@Applied-Mediocrity "Alien invasion for 2022"
Russians in Ukraine!

What the heck is Hugh Jackman doing in Wyoming?

@Watson , but TFA elaborates that these will be extraterrestrials, so my bet is on Moon Nazis.

Never go hollow.
I couldn't find the correct dark souls meme so have this one.

Well, most of this forum is fucked than.

@Dragoon The "not news" thread is . Norman Vincent Peale wrote The Power of Positive Thinking 70 years ago, and I'm not sure it was a novel idea even then.

I see this as more ignoble work. Something that we have all "known" for a long time, but was never actually proven.

Too late, they already opened it. It apparently held a burnt piece of Ouija board and a pendant.
And the souls of a thousand serial killers, but the camera didn't pick up that bit.

In local news, the current Painet architecture seems not to gain the carrier diversity benefits of the classic Arpanet architecture.

@topspin said in In other news today...:
use already developed space
or we could use roads!
Well, that is already developed space, so you could imply that falls under what I said. It is, of course, also among the most stupid ideas for solar you could possibly come up with.
I mean, I'm sure some could suggest something even more stupid if they tried, but I currently don't want to think about that.

so my bet is on Moon Nazis.
Dang it, I already have too many USB adapters, no need for another one.

Not very new, no.
Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.

Like that study back in 2016, when someone finally proved that aurora borealis makes audible noise?
The folks up north are still weirded out that it was ever doubted. Now they look at southeners kind of funny. Like they're afraid the morons might jump in front of a reindeer because they don't believe those exist, or something.

To find some actually dead land, you'd have to go all the way to the salt flats.
...which are in Utah, not Nevada.

@Dragoon yeah that's always bs. "The set of all sets that do not contain themselves" is not useful, whereas like, "1, 2, 3, and such", clear and concise.

That seems like a great way to get even more cut off.
It might be necessary anyway. I bet their bureaucracy runs on Word, Excel and PowerPoint, just like everybody else's.
So the alternative would be to let their government apparatus grind to a halt.

On the flip side, I read suggestions that Microsoft should just remotely cut them off from everything. To which I similarly thought that's a great way to make people realize they shouldn't have allowed Microsoft to have such power in the first place.

So we joke. But in all honesty, it'd be rather nasty to the regular people in Russia if their courts suddenly stopped working on top of a financial crash.

@acrow But maybe they'd finally get the message and rise up.
