Major infastructure projects (in certain countries) tend to turn into infinitely deep money pits due to rampant mismangment and corruption that can swallow the entire budgets of smaller nations and still not get done. They tend to drag down the average.

That sounds like a great way to get more work for the same pay.

At this point I’m pretty sure an asteroid could obliterate 95% of the US and the markets would just skyrocket even more. They’re so detatched from reality its gone from satire to sad.

I think even with solar, wind, tidal and perfect grid storage nuclear is still worth investing in, simply because its a useful technology to have in some space travel applications, in some cases even more useful than fusion power would theoretically be.

Everyone hates getting stuck because it turns out that one tech from half the tech-tree ago was mandatory for progression.

‘To get your boy home in a box’ fits the tempo better I think.

This reminds me of the fall of multiple fictional empires that had rested on their laurels building overpriced wonder weapons that turned out to both too few in number and not all that wonderous when taken out of a white room and exposed to real battlefield conditions.

Didn’t he already partially do that? He also appears to be letting Russia (and no one else) through the blockade to sell oil to Cuba.

The vibe of the first one was so good, I think 2/3 had more fun characters in terms of just having interesting/fun kits but the first game will always be my favourite for the overall tone.

I’ll switch to legacy systems before I pay for a subscription service.

I believe there is a generator with functional prototypes in the US and China that uses supercritical CO2? I mean its basically a steam engine but using a different medium and potentially even more efficient.

Even then all of them but solar are just spinning a wheel.

Externalized cost = free
As far as any and every large company is concerned anyway.

This is honestly one of the scarier parts about the rhetoric, they’re basically implying they would happily enslave a sentient being.

I read win at first as well but then when the sentence started saying positive things I knew I had misread it.

Everyone thinks AI is bad at their own job specifically because they actually know their own job well enough to release how much AIs ability to do it is entierly superficial, this is the case for pretty much all jobs that its about to ‘replace’. Unless it drastically improves we’re going to end up with no entry level hires AND no AI that can do the job and everyones going to be fucked all round because they’ve gone off the deep end and expect everyone to be born with a decade of experience.

Its weird how people always stop trusting science over things that are completely unrelated to science… then again actually that makes perfect sense.

I think hydrogen is arguably a metal but its 2/3 for not a metal depending on which definition you use.

It might not kill you though, it might psychically control you and use you as a worker bee to drag more prey back to the hive. (In the comics the queens can get pretty intelligent and recognize humans as useful for more than incubators)

Strong magnet or some kind of taser on a long stick, ez takedown.

I’m jealous they have tram tracks to even do that with.
