Trump didn't start any wars yet Biden was instrumental in conflicts like Syria and Libya that killed and displaced millions, both Russian allies.

Not only that Biden had a hand in the 2014 coup in Ukraine where a democratically elected Russian friendly leader was ousted with backing from the Western powers.

Now in response Putin may have overstepped in Ukraine, and painted in to a corner he'll make the people of Ukraine suffer for it.

Biden's foreign policy is an immature black and white version of the world that despite the rhetoric leads to the results no one wanted.

I tried this and it does work, but results seem to vary widely depending on the type of thread being used. Some are easy, some are much harder.

Nuclear energy is the only way we can do it, we can run the planet forever and do things cleanly and more densely to leave more of our planet for wildlife.

The trouble is almost everything we hold as common wisdom about it is completely wrong, using breeder reactors have enough uranium to run the planet forever leaving almost no waste and removing the possibility of big accidents which actually aren't as harmful as commonly believed anyway.

We have thorium too, and many designs of each that can do the job. In fact we have a wealth of of options, but also a decades old and highly effective PR campaign from the fossil fuel industry to convince us otherwise.

In the wake of the financial crisis Iceland refused to listen to the bad advice of the bankers who caused the mess and locked them up instead. This let them recover their economy instead of falling deeper in to the bankers debt.

So true. In the western world we don't see the extremism because we are so used to it, financialization, corporatism, warmongering and demonisation of the poor. They all bring benefits but understanding that they are extreme is the only way we can bring balance to our society.

To do this on anything like the scale we'd need would be a monumental task and you'd have to replace all of it every 10 years. Next generation nuclear is the only way we can produce enough clean and reliable power to run civilised society.

Fair point. I barely consider reactors that need control rods as a legitimate design, there are much better ways to build a reactor that doesn't need to depend on such things for safety. Basic design using a molten salt core should be more than enough, and in any case none of them are anywhere near the chain reaction that would be in a nuclear bomb.

Good video but a bit confused about how nuclear power works, extra neutrons are not absorbed they are slowed down through moderation so they can more easily interact with other nuclei. The core mass and configuration are what stops it becoming a a bomb and this is not a knife edge thing, it is a long way off.

I don't particularly enjoy smoking pot, but it is speeding my recovery from a long term illness no end. As soon as I don't have to I'll stop, simple as that. The law sucks.

Worth mentioning at the end that bacteria may become resistant to licin from a phage eventually, but as far as I'm aware bacteria cannot become resistant to phages themselves because the phage evolves alongside the bacteria.

Well this is confusing, here in the UK we call it a Harvestmen and a Daddy Longlegs is a Crane fly.

Fine ideas but it seems US healthcare is so insanely profitable there is no incentive to change.

"... no one could have predicted"

Treating nations like pawns in a Kissinger style cold and callous power game does tend towards endless war though.

A relatively good summary, but it's worth noting that Transatomic have been criticised for their sums not adding up. They may have fixed this by now, but in my opinion the best approach at the moment is Thorcon who have a design that uses no new technology of any kind and can be built right now with existing manufacturing processes. They have the people and the resources to do it too, they just need the financial and regulatory backing http://thorconpower.com/
