The plant works just as intended and has already captured a lot of that sweet sweet greentech R&D money and subsidies.

You should know that this wasn't a solar flare, but a coronal mass ejection. Look that up instead. No, it's nothing too bad either. The one in 1859 was a big one and some people got electrocuted at telegraph stations, but this ain't like that.

Not a solar flare but a coronal mass ejection. And while the subsequent G5 geomagnetic storm can do damage to various technological systems, it shouldn't be anything too bad.

It's nukes. An environmental catastrophe doesn't happen at those timescales :D

CTRL F "Peer review" No matches.

Don't get me wrong, it's definitely interesting that this thing keeps making headlines after all these years, but if the drive is capable of the kinds of thrust they say it's getting, why haven't they been able to prove it beyond a shadow of a doubt? Every space agency and their dog would already be sending prototypes into orbit if they didn't think that this was a scam.

This was me on friday except that instead of moss there were fantastic snowbanks sculpted into exquisite shapes by wind.

Yeah, not exactly news.

I suppose it's a good yearly reminder.

Did you know that 40% of all helldivers...

Funnily enough, in spoken Finnish "it" has all but replaced "they".

It is a gender neutral pronoun.

Also when talking about people, it would be nice if they was a lot more normalized even in situations where the gender of the person is known.
