Japan’s leap into the deep blue has birthed a technological titan: the world’s first megawatt-scale underwater turbine designed to anchor within the relentless Kuroshio Current. Unlike solar or wind energy, which are beholden to the whims of the weather, this subaquatic marvel taps into ocean streams that flow with permanent, unshakable consistency. Because water is roughly 800 times denser than air, even a slow-moving current carries a kinetic punch far more powerful than a howling gale, allowing these massive "sea-planes" to generate a steady, "always-on" stream of green electricity that could theoretically power the nation 24/7. ​The sheer scale of this ambition is staggering, as researchers estimate that the energy pulsing through Japan’s coastal waters could reach a capacity of 205 gigawatts—nearly enough to match the country’s entire current power generation. These turbines operate like inverted satellites, hovering in the water column and using sophisticated sensors to maintain stability against the crushing pressure of the depths. By transforming the silent, eternal movement of the Pacific into a high-tech power plant, Japan isn't just building a gadget; it is effectively turning the ocean into the planet’s largest, most reliable natural battery.

Artemis II is a great reminder that we still don’t need Elon for literally anything.

What did people with the "troll gene" do before the internet. Did they troll stagecoach drivers

Something I’ve thought about is that there’s nothing really stopping us from sending a man to Venus against his will. Don’t know why we would and he wouldn’t survive more than a few hours but we probably could if we wanted to, perhaps as a punishment.

I’m hearing that the plan all along was to keep the Democrats out of power, and then, once they’re out of power, to tell them to Do Something

Well I was told we didn’t need to vote because there would be a revolution if things got bad. So, I assume that’s happening? Any minute now.
