Don’t need to, just down-blend from the available fuel used from weapons put out of commission as a result of disarmament treaties.
Now, about those materials used to construct solar panels…
This is false. Nuclear has a very competitive levelized cost of energy (LCOE). Nuclear has high upfront costs but fuel is cheap and the reactor can last much longer than solar panels. The big picture matters not just upfront costs.

While a sanity check on the absolute value is good I would argue that the most impactful data presented here is the rate at which debt is growing.
Yes, debt was paid off during COVID but now that the free money has dried up people are racking up debt much quicker than before. So while the current value might be in line with previous trends the rate at which debt is accumulating is what is alarming.
It’s unlikely for that trend to slow or stop unless real wages increase, prices fall, or demand drops. We’re seeing some of that but apparently not enough.
When we couldn’t share a family password anymore we just didn’t sign up for our own account. Easy as that. Been watching a ton more Hulu as a result. Netflix isn’t worth more than a one-month sub/year.
As more people join one will get selected. There was r/cars and r/autos for a long time. R/cars won out in the end.
Some mods may be concerned about losing their mod status if they go to Lemmy.
They’re blinded by dollar signs that won’t come to fruition. Complete brain dead move on their part.
I would say not too far off BF3. There is a drone and I would say the sniping is a little too strong to the point where a few people play it like CSGO. But it’s nothing like CoD or the newer battlefields.
Edit: By new CoDs I mean no wall running or jet packs. No dumb kill streaks. There is an element of run and gun but it’s limited if effectiveness.
New ways of cooling data servers and batteries for EVs. Rather than typical air or water/glycol cooling we’re immersing the components in a dielectric fluid. It’s an interesting space as both the hardware and fluids are being developed simultaneously. The company I work for is developing the fluid.
About 90% of the fluids out there are just oils taken directly from a refinery and repackaged under different names with a ton of marketing. Yet, end consumers don’t really understand the technical details of the the fluids so they tend to fall for whoever has nice marketing. We’re out to change that and show that the chemistry we add improves the performance and durability of the fluid. So half the job is engineering and the other half is educating customers.
Played a lot this week. For those on the fence this game feels amazing. Terrific gun play and movement. This is a real ‘back-to-basics’ battlefield-like shooter. I highly recommend jumping in on it.
The only thing I’m critical of here is how does this pull back in VC funding/company valuations compare to other industries? VCs have pulled back in general as money is now very expensive as a result of high interest rates.
Money.
Now that USB-C is the required cable, people can go out and buy any cheap cable they want. The law turned a proprietary cash cow into a low return commodity item.
