Assembly of the worlds largest fusion reactor (ITER) begins
As has been the case for my entire lifetime, we are 20-40 years from having a fusion plant.
Inside Nancy Pelosi’s District:
And the proposed republican solution to the problem is?
How could all of the country look like this when half the hobos have already hitch-hiked to Nancy Pelosis district (according to the video)? That kind of alleviates the problem elsewhere. Are the republicans going to spread them out more evenly? Is that the plan? Will the problem be solved by helping these people less, so they die quicker? Is that the plan? Is there a right wing conservative republican plan on what exactly should happen to sick stupid dirty homeless people who dont give a flying f*** about anything? Will they be gone like magic by April?
Maybe letting them wash is a good start?
Dont tell me republicans are going to help these people more? What would Ayn Rand think?
Counting to 100 in French with a NYC Cabbie
Neighbors exist as a fuck you to neighbors.
I deeply enjoy butchering German.
Many Germans believe Czech was created to mock them.
My son has a theory that Polish is a made-up language that they only pretend to use when we can hear them. At home they speak like normal people (us).
Austrian is like Canadian, virtually non-existent, but you know it when they speak it.
Slovakian was basically made up by czech schoolteachers in early 20th century. Joke.
Hungarian, like Finnish, is from another galaxy altogether. Also we last had a border with Hungary 27 years ago, I should get used to that.
Police Slashing Tires At Protests
All those tires were black.
Police Slashing Tires At Protests
The land of the free.
Why not just shoot random people if making looking for evidence easier is the main objective? It would definitely stop those pesky demonstrators.
Seriously what happens next? Who pays for this?
What "defund the police" really means
Badly run institution and stupid/uninformed public.
Reform doesnt say enough.
Restart?
Reboot?
Retrain or rehire would help.
Switch it off and back on again. Best fix ever.
Why This British Crossroads Is So Dangerous
Solar powered traffic cams with, you know, internets and stuff?
Or kickstarter the 100k and stagger the junction right now.
Infectious Disease Expert on the seriousness of Coronavirus
The mortality rate depends on how many respirators per number of people you have in a given location.
Also on how accessible those respirators are.
Italy apparently fared worse than China. Wuhan province fared worse than Italy.

On a par with shuffling a deck of cards. Incredible how easily one can achieve practical infinity.

How Nestle Makes Billions Bottling Free Water
Do they make billions? Do they make hundreds of millions? Do they make tens of millions? Is revenue the same thing as profit? Who cares? Do they pay for the water they pump? Could they be charged more? Would they pump somewhere else? Why do people buy bottled water over drinking tap water?
Protest! Big bad corporation!
David Attenborough on how to save the planet
Dont blame "capitalism", blame humans, civilisation. Some countries, communities, families are able to create institutions and rules that span generations and centuries without destroying their livelihoods. Call it capitalism if you must, but the only way for humans to survive it is if they are allowed to make meaningful decisions and shoulder the responsibility for those decisions.
I lived in a "communist" country and I can inform you that shit was removed from rivers, sulfur from power station smoke and lead from car exhaust gasses only after it reverted to a form of constitutional democratic individualistic "capitalism".
All it takes is some basic rules about shit and rivers and a will either free, or imposed by institutions, to abide.
Some big rich countries have good rules and institutions, some dont. Most poor countries dont and that is a real problem. If you cant afford to put shit anywhere else it has to go in the river.
Unfortunately in an individualistic capitalist system the guy who's feeding his family by pouring shit in the river will fight you tooth and nail irrespective of what it means for the planet. Every other asshole is doing it why should he starve? This is why the more socially minded countries are the ones who can control themselves, as everyone feels they have a stake in it and they know they won't starve.. unfortunately the big rich countries are by definition plunderers running on greed and desperation.
We're Collectively Using Escalators Wrong
Load of rubbish. If a crowd forms at the entry to an escalator typically people start standing on both sides. 30 percent of efectivity (percentage points fly around a lot in this video) are not worth the loss of personal freedom. Some people insist on forcing their social engineering on everyone for small apparent economic advantages for who? Escalator makers? Their own personal ego warming? Look ma, my escalator is 30 percent more efficient than Bobs! Yes but half of your escalated people are unhappy because they cant walk and the other half dont care either way! So lets all be nice to each other if possible and let walkers walk and standers stand, OK? Which is BTW the result of the mentioned experiments.
Michael Palin in North Korea - Special Edition
North Koreans are not evil, they are human, just the regime is evil, the institutions, the people running the institutions, they are fairly high on the evil scale. Friends with Trump though.
Makes no sense to feel sorry for them if they, as a state, can and do build rockets that fly out past Japan and keep an army... yadda yadda yadda...
