sCO2 turbines are like 1/30th the size of an equivalent steam turbine.

Cat: WTF did she do to deserve this?

Wot if instead of boiling water, we boiled CO2, and instead of boiling CO2, we kept it at high pressure so that it never quite reached boiling or condensation?

The efficiency of any heat engine comes from the difference between hot and cold, you can’t get useful work if the water’s already boiled.

Maybe they’re trying to get rid of the remaining air frames so they can finally end the platform.

Presumably the guys in charge of what equipment to send over know more about what’s ideal for what it’s gonna be used for than some rando on lemmy.

I would simply embrace my new source of food and make sure the bodies aren’t found.

Mountain lion. Just chilling in the mountains, napping for 14 hours a day, occasionally sneaking up on a deer, they have life figured out.

We kinda did, why invade when you can just give a faction that benefits you shittons of diplomatic and financial support to achieve power, then military aid to keep the population from resisting.

Tldr, senile old man says nothing.

We’re sending a new carrier to replace the poo fire one, more troops, and a-10 warthogs, which looks a hell of a lot like the start of a ground invasion.

Free engagement.

You’re saying not doing the thing which is causing a spike in hunger, infant mortality, etc reflects badly on Trump.

If I stab you, I wouldn’t say pulling the knife out reflects positively on me, but pulling the knife out certainly doesn’t reflect negatively.

Imposing the blockade in the first place is what reflects bad on him, you don’t have to come out on the side of famine. If he stops with Iran, are you going to mock him for not bombing more schools?

Bringing oil to avert us-imposed famine in Cuba is good, regardless of who does it.

Solar thermal is kinda obsolete I thought, now China is churning out PVs for pennies.

Enforcing an unjust system makes them inherently evil.

Surely motorcycling, free climbing, BASE jumping, hang gliding, and skiing are deadlier?

Who you gonna call?

It was a pretty great piss.

It also explains why European social safety nets have eroded over the last 35 years despite populations that are more productive than ever.
