The soil type you describe is what is usually recommended. I have a lot of clay in my soil so I planted my bushes on a slope that is too steep to mow. That seems to provide enough drainage. They did have a brief fungal infection on their second year, I treated with sulfur powder and haven’t had any problems in subsequent years. A cheap pH meter says my soil is around 5, but I don’t put a lot of confidence in its measurements.

The flowers are also beautiful and have a pleasant aroma.

He hasn’t had a great streak in completing progress in haunted chocolatier because he keeps getting pulled back into stardew valley ports and making new content for stardew valley. If he and his collaborators soon have to support both stardew valley and haunted chocolatier across multiple platforms, I don’t expect development on a new stardew valley game to progress quickly at all. I would expect half life 3 like timelines.

I’m going to stretch the definition of tree and answer with blueberry bushes. I have planted all sort of fruit trees, but in my climate it’s difficult to get high quality fruit without using pesticides. Pest pressure is significant. The blueberries on the other hand require little maintenance and they thrive even in depleted soils. I also like that the berries ripen over the span of a few weeks, so it’s not as much of a rush to pick and process everything all at once. I’m in zone 7b/8a, but there are a variety of cultivars that do well from USDA zones 3-9.

Get a job at a turkey processing plant.

Is he mad that young adults can stay on their parents’ health plan until age 26?

The other benefit I can think of is keeping the fissile materials always sub critical. You don’t have to worry about a meltdown if the reaction is not self-sustaining. It’s an odd marrying of technologies, but I think people are being too dismissive.

Although, I wonder if the true purpose of such a device would be high output breeding of fuel for weapons use.

Do the terms of their employment change when they get rehired?

I only used it for desktop applications. That’s good to know.

Screen sharing in signal seems to work reasonably well.

What a terrible headline for them to pick. Entanglement was not Einstein’s idea. He called it spooky action at a distance because he thought the idea to be absurd.

Honeybees are not the bee population that needs to be saved.

Reddit doesn’t always require login for video. The one you linked gives a message about it being mature content and directs people to the app. I find that message odd because it’s not marked as nsfw and visiting on old.reddit doesn’t give an age prompt and plays just fine.

Helion is a completely different technology vs tokamaks which is what you’re thinking of. They pulse the plasma to create brief bursts of pressure/heating/fusion. They do already have their seventh prototype machine operational so while we can’t independently verify their claims, it’s probably not all bluster.

I have mixed feelings about their approach. They plan to use a deuterium and helium-3 fuel blend. That has a couple major advantages. Most of the reactions will be aneutronic and the energy is released in the form of highly energetic alpha particles and protons. The lack of a high energy neutron is a huge advantage for safety and longevity of a reactor. High energy neutrons are hard to shield from and they cause most materials to get brittle and weaken. Netrons are not good for personnel to be around and they can leave some materials radiactive making reactor maintenance/disposal costly. The other advantage is that since all the energy is released as kinetic energy in charged particles, they don’t have to try to absorb high energy photons or neutrons into a water blanket to drive a steam turbine. Instead, the kinetic energy results in an electromagnetic pulse that can be harvested by the same magnets that constrict the plasma to begin with.

Sounds amazaing, right? So why doesn’t everyone use this approach? Helium is rare, but Helium-3 is especially rare, making up only about 20 parts per million of helium found in geologic deposits. So simply put, it is currently infeasible to use Helium-3 at scale. Helium-3 can be collected as a byproduct of breeding tritium for use in nuclear warheads. Enough helium-3 is produced for some demonstration reactors, but any real amount of demand will quickly outpace what the DOE produces.

Helion plans on breeding their own Helium-3 in Deuterium-Deuterium reactors they will operate. However D-D reactions are not aneutronic. So all the materials lifespan/shielding/ maintenance nightmares that come with operating a nuclear reactor will still apply. That means operators will have to buy very expensive fuel from Helion indefinitely. Helion doesn’t exactly deny this drawback, but I really dislike how much they gloss over it in their public communications.

Here’s a video tour of their test facilities that explains the basics of their approach. https://youtu.be/_bDXXWQxK38

I’m inclined to think they’ve demonstrated enough results that they are likely to be able to build a working unit quickly, however, that would still be a long way off from creating any sort of sustainable supply chain that would be a viable option for anyone beside datacenters.

Have you tried cleaning out your phone port? A plastic flosspick works well. If there’s lint in the bottom it can keep the plug from seating properly and acts like you describe.

I have had plenty of cables fail though so I don’t think you’re crazy.

It would be pretty easy to require accepting a screenshare with a button press on the target screen. So I don’t think trolling other people’s displays is the main concern.

Even before tall buildings, trees should put the noise floor above 30 meters.

There’s plenty of american companies willing to sell sensitive data to anyone with money to buy. We need an overhaul of data privacy and all this focus on singular companies is missing the forest for the trees.
