if you listen to toresays.com 8/8/2023 she says in 100 years there have only been 6 citizen led innitiatives. With rigged machines, we need MORE citizen initiatives like perhaps "ditch machines". Good on you ohio!
A commendable effort by everyone involved here, but alas, it was not enough:
On December 5, 2022, scientists at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) achieved something truly remarkable. After firing 192 lasers at a small pellet filled with deuterium-tritium fuel, the resulting reaction essentially created a tiny star for a few nanoseconds. Crucially, the energy created by this reaction was more than the energy put into the reaction. In other words, science had finally achieved nuclear fusion ignition.
Until that point, humans had never been able to recreate the life-giving power generated in the center of our Sun on Earth. But for the first time, the clean energy promise of nuclear fusionāarguably the greatest energy source imaginableāsuddenly seemed possible. Now, fast forward only eight months, and LLNL has achieved ignition again. But this time, they had even greater results.
LLNL spokesperson Paul Rhien spoke with The Financial Times on Sunday, and said that āin an experiment conducted on July 30, we repeated ignition at NIF. Analysis of those results is underway, but we can confirm the experiment produced a higher yield than the December test.ā
Maybe the question now isnāt whether weāll ever achieve usable fusion power but whether the powers that be would allow affordable, unlimited energy. That certainly hasnāt been the case with nuclear fission in recent decades.
Obama is gay. Obama is a communist. There is ample proof. His wife according to many has a penis. It would be trivial to make a fake birth certificate given our CIA.
As Iām leafing through this pile of papers, I come across my own birth certificate. And itās startling. I remember thinking, 'This document looks really familiar.'

Armed with scrub brushes, young scuba divers took to the waters of Floridaās Alligator Reef in late July to try to help corals struggling to survive 2023ās extraordinary marine heat wave. They carefully scraped away harmful algae and predators impinging on staghorn fragments, under the supervision and training of interns from Islamorada Conservation and Restoration Education, or I.CARE.
Normally, I.CAREās volunteer divers would be transplanting corals to waters off the Florida Keys this time of year, as part of a national effort to restore the Florida Reef. But this year, everything is going in reverse.
As water temperatures spiked in the Florida Keys, scientists from universities, coral reef restoration groups, and government agencies launched a heroic effort to save the corals. Divers have been in the water every day, collecting thousands of corals from ocean nurseries along the Florida Keys reef tract and moving them to cooler water and into giant tanks on land.
Scientists at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in California say they've achieved net energy gain in a nuclear fusion reaction for a second time - but this time with a higher energy yield, the Financial Times reported.
I can't get over how good the T1 looks. It's a beautiful bike, especially in the two-tone frosted blue color of my test ride. It's so smoothly contoured, devoid of wires and generally eye-catching that, for once, I'm more afraid of it getting stolen for its looks than for the powerful motor and battery that are well-hidden inside it. So it's a good thing the Thunder 1 comes with a number of anti-theft features installed.
Over weeks of testing, the $1,800 T1 (initially the "Thunder 1" at launch, since renamed by Velotric) has been a fun ride. The bike has a responsive torque-sensing motor and a wide range of power options paired with actual gears. The app is about as reliable as any other Bluetooth-based single-device app (i.e., not wholly), but it provides useful data, configuration, and anti-theft options. Most of the cables, settings, and other obvious parts of an e-bike can't be seen. You just ride and notch the assist up or down when you want.
You can't entirely forget the T1 is an e-bike, as every time you look down while riding, you see a thumbprint sensor. But riding it around on a steady power level and shifting gearsāwith it looking for all the world like a standard flat-bar bikeāyou can get most of the benefits of electric assist with very few of its signifiers. It quietly flattens hills and shortens miles.

The electric vehicle startup Fisker made a splash in Huntington Beach last night, showing off a range of new EVs it plans to build alongside the Fisker Ocean, which is slowly beginning deliveries in Europe and the US. With shades of Lotus circa 2010, it seems there's something for most tastes, with a powerful four-door GT, a versatile pickup truck, and an affordable electric city car.
"We want the world to know that we have big plans and intend to move into several different segments, redefining each with our unique blend of design, innovation, and sustainability," said CEO Henrik Fisker.
Starting with the cheapest, the Fisker PEARāa cutesy acronym for "Personal Electric Automotive Revolution"āis said to use 35 percent fewer parts than other small EVs. Although it's a smaller car, the PEAR seats six thanks to front and rear bench seats. Oh, and it has a frunk, which the company is calling the "froot," something that will satisfy some British English speakers like Ars' friend and motoring journalist Jonny Smith.

My interview about the Trump DC Indictment: "let's go on the assumption they think they can prove these things, that the allegations were made in good faith. The question is, is there a crime here? That's what I think a lot of people are questioning."
Man, isn't it great that Ukraine has all these drones and weapons we gave them? We're gonna low-key beat the Russkis by [checks notes] starting nuclear armageddon.
