Yay for propaganda.

My first thought went to this:

Then wait till you hear about the way they are about to change recaptcha. A captcha app that only runs on verified devices, hand gestures, face scans … I’ve only learned of that today… I hate this timeline.

I just realised that TFA might have done more than just killing my interest in Star Wars. I think that was the last time I actually went and watched a movie in cinema.

Edit: Holy macaroni! It really has been more than 10 years since I went to the cinema…

I gave Disney the benefit of the doubt when they shelved the EU and JJ talked about doing something completely new. I was impressed by the lengths they went to to get the look right (even hunting down the original lenses). I went to quite some lengths avoiding spoilers.

It didn’t take long in cinema to realise I was watching a soft reboot trying to dismantle the original trilogy. I felt betrayed and disgusted. Since then I haven’t touched anything Star Wars and completely started to boycott everything Disney.

I can recommend Heimdall as a quick scratch for that itch. Not big on monitoring, but a great landing page for almost no effort.

I don’t think they asked me to count down either the last time I was put under. But then again I was slightly preoccupied by the ice cold bucket of liquid fire that spread through my veins. Apparently that’s what a small fraction of people experience with the stuff they used. Would have been nice to get a warning tho.

Oh no, that one is there. Zoom in and look at the glass dome of the lamp. You can see the spider inside.

The shadow of the lamp is one of those old american park-o-meters!

You know what else leaves contrails? Politicians!

Considering the current political climate I don’t think the world would look at Germany building breeder reactors (thats what these are, even if they desperately try to avoid that term) and just say “Great idea!” ;).

Jokes aside, breeders need at least one more generation of research/demo plants to be really commercially viable. Afaik all breeders so far had less than 50% uptime and none could avoid sodium fires. They would solve quite a few fuel problems tho conisering you can “burn” recycled U238 in them.

Personally I would prefer Thorium cycle plants, but those are even further off.

For Germany right now I don’t see much sense in building new current tech reactors. For the same tax money we would need to subsidize these plants, we could build so much more renewable (and storage) capacity which would result in a faster reduction of ghg emissions.
