One study suggested that the reactors could produce more nuclear waste than current systems and that they “will use highly corrosive and pyrophoric fuels and coolants that, following irradiation, will become highly radioactive.”
“New Kia cars are not being released to Ontario dealerships — and reportedly many more across the country — to sell. Instead, they’re being stored on this compound, 30 kilometres south of Kitchener, Ont. and allegedly on other similar compounds across Canada.”
I have mixed feelings about Disco ending. I really dug the first season’s look at a Federation at war, and following the person who arguably set that war in motion dealing with her culpability. Add to that a ship that is part weird science lab, part haunted house. And yeah, I could live with the Klingon redesign....
Such squandered potential. I feel like most of the actors did the best they could with what they were given. I really would have enjoyed this show more if it had been more of an ensemble piece.
I don’t think it had to do with ratings. I think it was part of an overall strategy for the streamer to lean heavily into franchises to entice subscribers. The ratings were probably only so so for Discovery, but until they could get another live action trek spun up and running (SNW) they didn’t have anything else to replace it with. Picard was a limited series that ended up being stretched too thin (season 2).
The developers behind DayZ and Rust have taken to X/Twitter to troll The Day Before developer after it announced its studio was closing its doors following the release of The Day Before.
Also reader mode in most browsers bypasses these stupid cookies and agreement panels to read the article. So theoretically you’re not agreeing to anything.
What is the goal in this game? Watching the trailer just shows people running around different areas on foot or on creatures. Is this another “explore” game like No Mans Sky, or is there a mystery to solve, or is it an FPS?
Used EV batteries as power packs tied to the grid. Some neighborhoods are already getting these. They also work well as backup power when the grid goes down.
I’ve been really enjoying the Red Hot Organization’s “No Alternative” and “Dark was the Night” recently, both because they raised a lot of money for AIDS research and because they do a great job of capturing the 90s alternative sound and 00s indie sound respectively, and it’s got me thinking how much I love...
Is the owner of the property living there more than 51% of the year? If not, then it’s a hotel, not a BNB. Tax and regulate it as such. Zoning laws prohibit hotels in neighborhoods for example.
Broken webpages might be a good thing. There are too many browsers that aren’t adhering to standards. Stop coding around it and start publicly shaming these megacorps.
I would disagree that most of the live action is related to the animated series. The one most related (Ahsoka) bombed.
I’d like to know who steered Obi Wan into the rewrite with “baby leia”. Basically turning it into a Mandalorian season one clone. And who fucked up Boba Fett by adding the neon kiddie scooter gang and Mandalorian in the second half. The first half of the season was a beautiful slow burn, but the latter half was horrible.
Environment be damned or don’t be damned. Because you like them or because you don’t like your neighbors … what animals would you like to see locally that are not there ?
You could turn invisibility on and off as you like and there would be no time limit. Your clothes would turn invisible too, and you could decide whether the items you are holding would be visible or not....
When I first read the titile, I thought that the US is going to have to build A LOT to triple global production.

Sometimes I think the US thinks too much of itself and that’s also very...
I’ll believe it when I see it. I’d prefer that they build something modern rather than hauling out the tired old plant designs we’ve been using since the 70s.
In a surprising move, Apple has announced today that it will adopt the RCS (Rich Communication Services) messaging standard. The feature will launch via a software update “later next year” and bring a wide range of iMessage-style features to messaging between iPhone and Android users....
You left out the part where searching for Apple products was returning results of counterfeit products because Amazon loves their scummy cheap junk. Apple got sick of this and told Amazon that if they wanted to be a reseller of actual Apple merchandise, they would need to agree to clean things up or Apple would stop selling on Amazon.
There’s nothing stopping Samsung and other brands from demanding the same thing. And they should.
You should look that up. I read that it is something like developers paying someone to live in a mobile home on empty land that they are getting ready to develop. The person in the mobile home voted for the MUD.
I was disappointed in the broadband bil passing. It sounds like a good idea, but the feds have already poured grant money into the same thing twice in the past twenty years and the money just vanishes with little to show for it. I doubt this is going to do anything different.
