Of course it was weak.

But there was plenty of room to fix it, they had barely started.

We need to stop killing things when they start because they aren't the next game of thrones s1.

I didn't consider it disappointing, I considered it a decent starting point for better seasons.

I was born before we had a 5 minute tiktok attention span and if we weren't blown away by the first episode that meant everything was obviously garbage.

Watch TNG season 1, one of the worst seasons of anything ever.

Nah, it's good.

When you have to deal with insane assholes, especially narcissists, you just talk with a calm voice, while ignoring them and doing whatever you want.

They can't process it because they can only see drama and you get what you want before they figure it out.

Just tariff cloud stocks, watch everything crumble.

The south.

The Nuremberg Laws were Jim crow but with the one drop rule crossed out and Hitlers name written at the top.

Black GIs came back from liberating Europe, to be lynched for being 'too uppity'.

If it wasn't for the south desperately trying to drag us into their filth we wouldn't have had W, we wouldn't have Trump, we could have had universal Healthcare and just generally not sold everything out to the oligarchs.

The rise of the United States was due to the destruction of the south as a political power, allowing the rest of the country to grow, for instance the transcontinental railroad.

No, there will absolutely be a fight.

The moment Trump fully realizes how incredibly he's lost, he will immediate switch to military threats to save face.

He has no choice, it's one thing if the American economy collapses, but his ego is at stake here!

I'm rooting for the EU. The only ones here who aren't being dicks.

It's not quite that.

The dixiecrats took over, the ones who are still enraged we took away Jim crow.

They have given the GOP a rabid base of racists who will support any economics because they don't know what the word means.

Thank you for giving me hope for the future.

China has the pbr in production as modular reactors.

When the reactor temperature rises, the atoms in the fuel move rapidly, causing Doppler broadening. The fuel then experiences a wider range of neutron speeds. Uranium-238, which forms the bulk of the uranium, is much more likely to absorb fast or epithermal neutrons at higher temperatures. This reduces the number of neutrons available to cause fission, and reduces power. Doppler broadening therefore creates a negative feedback: as fuel temperature increases, reactor power decreases. All reactors have reactivity feedback mechanisms. The pebble-bed reactor is designed so that this effect is relatively strong, inherent to the design, and does not depend on moving parts. This negative feedback creates passive control of the reaction process.

Thus PBRs passively reduce to a safe power-level in an accident scenario. This is the design's main passive safety feature

The west is irrationally afraid, but China understands nuclear is inherently safer than fossil fuels after having lost thousands to pollution.

The south:

"This train don't stop till we're back in the early 1800s!"

Those are old designs, new ones basically stop once the water is removed.

Hence the 'negative void coefficient', modern designs lose reactivity as the water is removed.

Look at pebble bed and other designs.
