Eh, I could see it honestly. In a world where the Soviet Union became increasingly stronger, the Chinese gambit of allying to the United States would most likely fail and they would either remain a “colonial holding” like India today, or sputter along as a regional power at best; lagging decades behind China’s real world development.
North Korea is a bit silly though, unless they somehow managed to reunify, but then, still silly.
Isn’t it only the first man and woman to the moon? I watched season 1 and it was really interesting, but then it fell of hard once the state department got their hands on the show. It flew off the rails it seems, and nothing seemed to ever go anywhere.
That is very kind of China, the moon has been very cold for a very long time since separating from Earth, so putting in a heater is a very nice gesture! The moon people will be very happy!
But I am assuming your comment is a /s lol
I was just curious, mostly because I like to follow space related news and the most I’ve heard of the Chinese missions were related to putting a man on the moon by 2030, so a jump to a full reactor with no news of a base seemed surprising. Especially since the Russian space agency has not been making many moon based plays recently, as their focus has been in satellites and earths orbit.
Also I had to dig further, but the coolant is not water based. Mining and processing the water from the moon would be extremely impractical and would use more energy then the reactor could create, and there would be no way to mine enough to sustain a reactor in general. The planned coolant is liquid sodium based on what the Chinese agency has stated, which will be shipped from Earth.
The planned design also seems to be a fast breeder reactor, which haven’t been used since the 60’s because of uranium enrichment processes, and breeders having a significantly reduced energy output compared to light water reactors. Meaning the plan is probably to mine the uranium directly from the moon.
Also China has been very diligent with their claims, but they too haven’t been completely blameless from making a grandiose claim here or there, or cancelling projects. The Russian agency is far more guilty of this (at least they’re not as bad as nasa lmao) but they constantly cancel plans, or have them stagnate, to a level that raises a question of I’d like to see some progress first. Especially since the moon has not been Russia’s main focus for quite a while. I am very excited for this project though! Can’t wait!
Is that the show with the space M4’s and nukes on the moon?
What’s the coolant??? What is this plant meant to power anyway?
They mention in the article that the plant would need to be built by robots because of a lack of personnel there. So why build it?
I feel like this is several steps ahead of practical. Wouldn’t a permanent science base with human staff be a much higher priority?

My bad, I misjudged your tone and didn’t mean to read into it that much. Definitely a bit overkill for the joke now that I read it in a more joking light. Sorry!
Probably. Most languages are proud of their conflicts. Great Patriotic War for example.
Bring out the dolphins!
White people are the only group that does war or violence? That’s probably one of the largest constants of human nature across every single ethnic, cultural, racial, religious, or national group; across all of human history, along with things such as music, art, love, empathy, etc.
Humans are inherently violent; we are still monkeys at heart, and while overcoming our instincts makes us human, they still shine through often.
We train them on human models. Guess what human’s favorite pastime is?
Even this community talks about Revolution, which while for a good cause, is still warfare and death.
Wow, it’s genuinely awful. Never read the entire original poem, but that’s disgusting, Key should have quit while he was ahead with the first verse.
The Battle of Baltimore took place during the War of 1812, not the Revolutionary War, and it doesn’t really glorify the carnage since the poem is about the American defenders getting their teeth kicked in by the British Navy, but the flag remaining over the fort defending the entrance to the city till the British ran out of ammunition.
Despite that, the anthem still sucks. It was a good poem, but awful as a song. Pledge of allegiance is also absurd.
They’re advertising intermittent fasting.
An actual food consumption model with nutritional science behind it. You can even find a lot of articles here on the Grad on how to set up a plan.
That’s a heavy stretch to stay that they’re telling people to starve. They’re essentially just saying “stop snacking whenever you feel hungry; you’re all obese”.
Anyway. Fuck the Telegram.
Absolute rag of a new source, but what’s wrong with the article? They’re discussing how modern people are so used to feeling “full” that they keep constantly eating and snacking, which is usually on unhealthy items and is a sure fire recipe for weight gain, obesity, and a myriad of health issues.
They essentially just say that feeling hungry every once in a while isn’t a death sentence, and that you should just wait for your next meal. Along with recommending to stop gorging on chips, and to try intermittent fasting to help lose weight and avoid mindless snacking.
I feel like this is really stretching it to try and say that they’re telling people to starve.
The world is a genuinely beautiful place. : ) Every country has someplace beautiful, and China has a whole lot of them.
How is it possible to have steam and not pay a grand total of 5 dollars at some point over years and years.
This is to prevent scammers from flooding new accounts and ban evading for free.
It also prevents bot accounts on Source games like TF2 and CSGO, which have seen a collapse in bots ever since it’s been made that you have to spend 5 dollars on each account for them to be able to spam and aimbot.
This is the thing you draw the line at? It’s been 5 dollars for over a decade. This is hardly scalping, and steam isn’t demanding you pay anything.
You just invested the concept of personalization and an option menu.
We’ve truly reached the future.
I wish I could return to the XP. We should have quit while we were ahead 😔
The automation is because it’s always been a felony not to register, same as it is in virtually every country with mandatory service, so to avoid the horrifically needless societal effects that come from giving someone a felony for a random crime, they simply automated it.
Basically what they did with social security years ago. Used to also be a crime to not sign up by a certain age, so they just started immediately registering all children at birth.
