I meant that we use neutron breeders to turn certain fuel rod waste into fissile plutonium I think.

The difference with the Chinese invention is that you don't need to transport the waste to a separate breeder.

I've always just been excited when other people are excited about it.

They're so expensive. My parents change up what they display for Christmas between the LGB and a lego train. The actual lego train they put up changes too. They live nearby, so it's a special enough treat for my boy and my nephew.

I mean it is a great record to break. Especially right now.

The question is, will it help galvanize the DNC? I won't be holding my breath but there's another sliver of hope.

I mean... I'm cis white male, and that's 100% why i went into computer engineering.

But the reality is so many people I work for and with aren't weird outcasts and it's... Not fun.

Idk. Model railroads have a particular place in my heart. Garden sized ones are new to me though.

I had a great uncle who had an enormous setup in his basement. As a kid I was always fascinated with it. He died when I was 13 and I wasn't ready for that.

Aha ok. I was in America in the same time frame, and while it was more acceptable, and I had an openly gay professor, very few students were out.

Wait wait wait wait.

Don't we already do this? Just right now we don't do it in the same reactor?

Where did you go to school?

Or maybe a better question is when did you go to school?

I mean even right now, I know one trans woman. Possibly one crossdresser.

Plenty of LGB, I'm sure there are more trans than I'm not aware of. But we have hundreds of IT workers. Actually we may have more than a thousand.

I'm not against it, but I do worry a bit that the younger folk not in industry yet think this is more common place than it is.

It might be in silicon valley tech firms? I just know healthcare, finance, mil/aero, industrial services, and while gender identity and sexual orientation arent unknowns, any flashy display of, well, anything is generally frowned upon. Most people at work really don't care if you dress up in drag in your off time. Nobody cares if you transitioned and have a new name, just make sure it's updated in the HR systems and you have a new badge. And absolutely no one cares who you are sleeping with (unless it's a coworker or supervisor, then LOTS of people care).

The power required to do it is impressive to say the least.

I guess the other option would be that the signal was created with very close proximity to the broadcast tower requiring much less power, but they probably had a limited area to search.

To me it almost reads like this was a "we technically can, let's test it out!" And it worked.

They might not care, but the courts are not powerless. I keep seeing this sentiment, but I'm continually amazed that people think Trump just ignores it.

The lawsuits and judges making demands arent just words. The problem is that judges do things by the book and most people can't be bothered to sit around and wait for that to happen.

Trump is currently trying to "out run" the courts. He is aware they have power, he's trying to remove that power.
