The technology for drilling deeper is getting better fast. There was a breakthrough by using microwaves to vaporize rock. It’s a triple duty method that cases the walls with glass rock, pressure from vapor pushes the condensed dust upwards and removes the material.

It eleminates the need for drilling sludge, excessively long metal rods etc. It’s still cheaper to drill conventionally for 3km but to reach the 10km for EGS it’s a lot cheaper. Drilling conventionally becomes exponentially more expensive with depth

Hearts of Iron 4 is also fun. You can take on the entire third reictb

A hercules coffee cup I’ve had since I was around six.

If there are no buyers for treasuries it’ll tank the dollar value and go a long way to remove it’s status as a reserve currency. Trump insist on rocking the boat that has been working for the US.

Oh, gotcha, yeah, shourd be removed globally if possible and replaced with a fediverse alternative that doesn’t promote fear mongering shitposts

Nah, I’m from Iceland maaang

I’m all for free speech but when it’s heavily skewed and unfairly moderated I support a ban. Facebook, Instagram, Reddit and Xitter should just be removed.

Not entirely. You get a lot of air resistance from vortex shredding which pulls the object back because of turbulent air flow at high speeds behind the object. You also have collision with air molecules when they are compressed in front of the object.

Friction on the other hand is more dominant when pushing an object along a surface.

I blame capitalism for this one. Misinformation and lobbying is very profitable. Using prior knowledge of what laws are coming into effect is also very profitable. Retiring and becoming a lobbyists is also.

In the US hard facts have become debatable and there’s a shitty system that massively benefits two political parties.

I don’t necessarily blame the people since the system is rigged against people’s interest. They get mad and vote anti-establishment which is still very much the establishment.

It used to be center left but not anymore

I like that he actually depicted the St Andrew Cross appropriately

In Icelandic “Þú stendur fyrir framan þínum konungi”

Medieval 2 Total War. It’s the best Total War game and one of the oldest. It has a basic campaign map where you create and manage armies which you then use to go into a real time battle with thousands of units. There is nothing as satisfying as routing the enemy with a massive cavalry charge into the rear when they’re in hand to hand infantry combat.

The ceasefire comes into effect on Jan 21. They’ll continue the genocide until at least that date

Power to make people have empathy.

The booster landed intact with all engines firing until they were turned off. The top half experienced issues where there was gas accumulation in the thruster area.

This is the first time they got two landings of the booster in a row so that’s a win for them. I despise Elon but SpaceX has put space back on the menu and I love them for it.

Ayy, I’m not the only one
