Nothing with fusion, no meltdowns are possible and 100% consumption of the fuel so no storage of waste.

We could have had this technology in place quite a few years ago if not for the commie, ELF and other envirowhacko's.
OK, I am admittedly ignorant on this technology. If it is hotter than the core of the sun, how is THAT contained? Is it pulsed so that there is minimal conduction between heating/cooling cycles or what?

When the fuel is used up the core collapses into a black hole

i am tired of these egregious examples of white privilege.
 
Did you take this?

Looks an awful lot like the west side of Berthoud Pass here in CO.
No, it showed up in a group that I belong to “Is This MUTCD Compliant?” Primarily Transportation Professionals who share road sign and striping oddities that they encounter. It wouldn’t surprise me about the location, although I have seen similar ground in CA, ID, NM, and WY.

MUTCD = Manual of Uniform Traffic Devices

So what was the consensus? Was it compliant?

Those signs are pretty common here on roads that require a lot of blasting to keep safe.


Years back, more than once I would be right above there, skinning up as dawn broke and hear them starting shooting paths on US 40 with the 105.
Nothing like a couple runs of 14” of great snow early to make your work day better.

Next time I am through there in warm weather, I will see if I remember to snag a pic.
Be mid to late June before it is clear of snow

I had a smaller than usual gathering for Easter, one of my sons and my son in law are firefighters and had to work. I smoked a pork loin and my other son, daughter, two of the grandsons and a few close friends joined us for lunch after church. The almost 3 yr old found some eggs and got into a losing water fight with his uncle.View attachment 8387268View attachment 8387269View attachment 8387270View attachment 8387271View attachment 8387272View attachment 8387273View attachment 8387274View attachment 8387290View attachment 8387293
Is that how you do eggs now?

No bowls of colored water to spill everywhere, the little metal loop thingy to hold the egg. This seems like cheating.

They have been the best part of the the last 3 years of our lives for sure. We get to watch those two and their older brother this evening, will be the highlight of the week!!

We have lost two nephews under 30 to suicide and another to an overdose in the last two years.
 
Speaking of reparations, I have a funny story.

A friend of mine from Ohio was in trade school (this was in the early 80's) in an electronics class. One of the students was black and was going on and on about how he was entitled reparations, generally being a jerk about it. My friend replied that his family never owned slaves, and on top of that, his great, great grandfather fought and died in the civil war, on the Union side, to free his ancestor's black asses. So now the black student owed HIM reparations! The whole class laughed and clapped, including the teacher. The poor entitled idiot stormed out and never came back.

That is a powerful argument.

One Union soldier died for every six slaves in the South. That's a hell of a butcher's bill. Today I see zero gratefulness for their sacrifice. Or for the decision to put the past behind us to move forward afterwards. Or a warning that we need to find a way out of our disagreements.

I have the books showing some of my ancestors owned a hundred slaves and a thousand acres of bottomland. I also have photos of my kids in front of historical markers where others won battles for the Union and built schools for freed slaves.

Making war on your brother to free others.

Probably hard to be grateful when Southern Democrats, who were completely un-reconstructed, put them right back into slavery with everything from share cropping deals to poll taxes and grandfather clauses... and then kept lynching them all the way into the late 1960's... Then stuck them in Ghettos. Buried them in Heroin then rock... then created laws to destroy their families and profited greatly off of gang and rap culture...

All the while, calling 'boot strap Republicans' who wanted to get folks off welfare and tell them they had no limits... were called racists for trying to reduce welfare... so the left could create a free shit army of minorities and the lazy... to help them usher in Communism.

You think any of that is accidental? Heck, Marx predicted it! Stating that the Negro would be used until the 'Revolution was complete" then would be put back into chains like cattle. But the %$#@ing BLM idiots call themselves trained Marxists. Did they even read Marx?

Meh... whatever. It's so broken now that the only thing we can hope for is that the pendulum swings without massive bloodshed. Which is what the left is hoping for because they think that out of the ashes will come their shining future of equality and green paradise.

BTW, Vermonters died at the highest rate per capita of the Civil War. And the lefties up here are SCREAMING that we should be paying reparations. That's what Progressives are about. It's all about redistribution. Using whatever means necessary. Starting with disarmament and propaganda.

Yup... keep believing that.
