I just read an article about this. Highly interesting stuff!

I'd say the current rhetoric coming from people claiming to be 'politically on the left' (a.k.a social justice warriors, although I dislike that term) is very worrying and seems to be catching on. It's strange how they don't seem to be realize they're advocating racial segregation, thought crimes, removing freedom of speech and expression, pseudo science instead of actual science, inequality of the sexes, blatant racism etc. Strangely enough, that's pretty much what the other extremes (neo-nazis, alt-right, ultra conservatives...) are advocating for, but for different reasons.

Hence my statement about extremes sucking major ass.

This goes for any extremist ideology. Extremes suck major ass every time.

First training/small mission over. Can't wait for the next one. Anyone who's still procrastinating about joining - just do it. You won't be disappointed!

I updated, but didn't have time to test, as I had to go to the office since I'm a bastard and can't work from home because muh internuts.

Main thing stopping this is the petroleum industry!
Now even China is starting to muscle in on wind turbine production so it's definitely here to stay.

 

 

Of course! The absolute best way of generating power would be to get it seemingly 'free' without relying on natural resources. Renewable energy sources are most definitely the right thing and thus the future, but it might still be very far in the future until they are efficient enough to provide for the world's needs. Countries that have tried to replace their energy production with solar and windmills end up using a shitload more of coal because they don't produce enough power yet.

That's why we need thorium right now (and also the reason I brought it up), so that the reptile-people (cold, emotionless, unable to feel empathy for anything, only thinking of themselves... you know, like reptiles?) of the oil, coal and other fossil fuel industries don't fuck everything up and kill every living being on the planet before that day comes.

Hmm, the fact that thorium could radically lessen or kill off the need for oil completely could have been one of the reasons the US thorium reactor project was killed off in the late 60s and buried away until it was declassified in 2002.

Good to know that China is taking up the fight for wind turbines! I'm sure they will greatly speed up wind turbine improvements and innovations!

China is also one of the leading countries when it comes to thorium reactor research! Although, the way things are going right now, Indonesia seems to be the first country to actually start producing reactors with the company ThorCon.

If you have other consoles, share it. You might find players who have it.

It's N64 and NES, no internet connection, so I think they're off the table

PC, some older consoles from before the glorious no fucking normies on the internet times.

This video should be a cool starting point.

Also, I'd like to thank you @RAnDOOm for these science posts you make. Personally, I really like them and find them fascinating!

Lame, BF1 is wayyyy better (graphics, more fun)

Do you know the saying "beautiful graphics don't make a shitty game good"? And that enjoyment received from a game is subjective? You're not gonna win anyone over by acting like that.

REASON: Laptop is broken Dell just shipped my new one out today should arrive tomorrow!

Oooh, I hope that one works. Working in Dell ProSupport has given me a really bad image of the refurbishing quality of the motherboards. Or are you getting a total system swap?

I'd put my money on molten salt thorium reactors. Cheaper than coal, more efficient than current nuclear power plants, a shit ton safer than pretty much anything we have now, we can use the nuclear waste we have now in the reactors and they can be used to desalinate sea water and to capture Co2 from the air and use it to make fuel usable in petrol cars we have now. The nuclear waste that they produce is minuscule and thorium is readily available anywhere. The reactors can't really be used in the production of nuclear weapons, which is one of the main reasons this technology didn't get continued support in the 60's.

The first company will start producing reactors in 2018 and the first ones should be available for sale in 2019.

Personal Performance: Well, it was better in the beginning. A bit of a dip towards the end, but I'm scoring more kills than before. Killed a decent amount of tanks and armored cars too, but the lack of AT-kits made it tough as shit.

Squad Performance: Matsku's Mafia did really well. Matsku is very on-point and organized. I like his style of leading. Kowskoskey's Kowboy Kunts was a big and rowdy bunch, but Kowskoskey managed to keep us well under control.

Company Performance: We won, so I'd say at least satisfactory!

Free Note: More AT kits, please.

Best: Feels good to be back playing a fun campaign.

Worst: Getting cheated out of 10+ kills because I couldn't shoot through seemingly unobstructed windows or other such objects. No boards in front of them, no metal grates or anything... I shoot and I see a bullet hole floating in the air. Weak!

Funniest: Tough to pick a favorite. I guess I should say the french guy chasing a tank for ages, and then an FNG blows it up.

*** Me remembering shit from a previous campaign below. Skip if you think I'm an asshole or boring or something...***

Most Beloved Player: The Green Goddess for guiding my bullets.

Most Hated Player: The Green Goddess for leaving too early and not guiding my bullets anymore towards the end.

That sounds agreeable

Date: 5.10

Reason: Might be out target shooting.

Date: 28.9

Reason: Stuck at office

So no practice today or...?

Rule #1: Every man must have some form of fried chicken and kool-aid(fruit punch) when the battle starts.

Ah, the two items that are not readily or inexpensively available in Finland.

Dang that looks interesting. I gotta get my shit together and join up.

Did you install the Intel HD graphics drivers before you installed the nVidia drivers? It's a long shot, but I've solved issues like these on some Dell machines just by doing that.
