…AND MY AXE!

The lads depicted are Gen Alpha 18 year olds. Gen z is mid to late twenties now. Some of them are about to hit 30…

The same guy who deliberately messed with the vending machine will also intentionally misplace the delivery of the skull gun aug module, smh.

Steam implies water! What if we used some OTHER phase-change working fluid? :D

||(No idea what, though. my question is implied with a playful tone and is at least 50% facetious; any actual discussion that might result would be little more than a pleasant coincidence)||

“what if fire… But… MOAR”

to which they’ll even blame for that “him/her” pronoun they’ll use.

and now the ratchet effect will kick in again:

“See? The people WANT the republicans. That’s why they keep electing republicans. Therefore, if we want to be competitive, we must become more like republicans.”

“Will they understand the pain and political alienation that tens of millions of Americans are experiencing? …”

“Pain? What’s that? Some kind of… ‘poor-person’ thing?? Wait, I remember now, it’s the french word for bread! Well, let them eat baguettes~”

So you can be among those who help others survive. People need you. We need everyone we can get.

The worst Mel. Mel Brooks infinitely superior.

chat chad is this real

🔫👨‍🚀 I always have.

He needs to go back to Canada. Or cuba.

we’re tired of being sold a shit sandwich that may someday become edible? wow who would have ever predicted this utterly unprecedented turn of events except absolutely fucking everybody.

Let him drag the entire GOP to hell with him.

2012 does indeed still feel like a major inflection point.

the internet was awesome for like … twenty years. thirty if you count the era where people mostly communicated through newsgroups and such. it feels like the enshittification was so sudden…

And in order for hydro’s effects to be most easy to curtail, you need very specific terrain topology - such as where I live, in the Springfield area of Massachusetts, there’s a hydroelectric dam on the Connecticut River in South Hadley/Holyoke (the two sides of the river at that section):

The dam was built where there were natural falls. So the dam leveraged the fact that the change in water elevation was natural and already extant prior to the dam’s existence. They’ve had a fish elevator system for longer than I’ve been alive, too. Rather than changing how the hydrological system worked in the area, the dam stabilized it upstream such that the water level up the Connecticut River from there is more consistent than it used to be before - whenever there’s more water than usual, the dam can increase spill rate.

The city of chicopee, across the river from holyoke and just north of springfield, also has a hydroelectric dam, also built where there were natural falls. This region is pretty good for stuff like that, and our electrical supply is much hardier as a result!

Honestly though! Look at the region around Pripyat; that place is thriving.

Alternatively we could stash it in death valley where literally nothing lives, not even animals.

Stash, not drop: As nuclear technology progresses, we’ll get more efficient at using it as fuel and eventually the waste of today can become supplemental fuel of tomorrow, used much more thoroughly, and only be radioactive for a few hundred years instead of thousands.

Yes, AND, Nuclear is also cheaper in cost of human lives per gigawatt hour!

EVEN SOLAR AND WIND KILL MORE PEOPLE PER GIGAWATT HOUR THAN NUCLEAR.

(Hydro admittedly kills less people per GWh than nuclear, though - but not every place has that option.)
