@briggy739 @_Investinq considering how much money they seemed to incinerate into their molten salt turbines of death, probably not many repairs id i had to assume

@devlovesosrs @_Investinq Not to mention it would be highly corrosive, so how often is repair needed on whatever this molten salt touches?

The energy war just changed.
America burns coal at night to keep the lights on while China built something different and most people have no idea it exists.
In the middle of the Gobi Desert, there is a 263-meter tower surrounded by 12,000 mirrors in a perfect circle, spread across nearly 8 square kilometers of barren land.
It looks like something out of a science fiction film.
They are focused on a single point at the top of that tower, raising temperatures above 800 degrees Fahrenheit.
That heat gets pumped into tanks filled with a special liquid salt mixture.
They are using Molten salt, the same stuff ancient civilizations used to preserve food is now storing the sun's energy at 565 degrees Celsius.
When the sun goes down, the plant keeps generating electricity.
The molten salt stays hot for hours after sunset and drives a steam turbine on demand.
This is a 100-megawatt power station that runs 24 hours a day on sunlight alone.
It produces over 390 million kilowatt-hours of power every single year.
Every coal plant on earth has one critical weakness, it needs fuel to burn.
This plant needs nothing but the sun and a tank full of heated salt that refuses to cool down.
The implications are enormous.
The oldest argument against solar energy has always been: "What happens at night?"
China just answered that question with 12,000 mirrors and a tower visible from space.

The world's largest utility company just eliminated one of the most dangerous jobs on earth. China's State Grid which controls power for 1.1 billion people has deployed robotic electricians across 26 provinces and counting. These machines work on live, 10,000-volt wires while the power stays fully on. Before this, the workers who did this job wore full conductive armor and understood that one wrong move was fatal. Now the robot takes that risk instead. The machines strip insulation, tighten connections, and splice wires with millimeter precision, all while hanging at altitude on a live grid. They complete tasks 50 percent faster than a human crew and report a 98 percent success rate. This is already the operating standard in more than two dozen Chinese provinces. China is about to spend $554 billion upgrading its power grid between now and 2030. That is a war chest for building the most automated, AI-powered energy infrastructure in human history. Meanwhile, the United States has a shortage of 40,000 electricians and the gap is getting worse every year. China's answer to that problem is not a trade school, it is a fleet of machines that never sleeps or quits. Every other country still arguing about whether robots will replace workers is watching the answer get deployed in real time.

"no solid evidence of a single death directly caused by artificial sweeteners"
go on, keep chugging your diet death drinks fatass
English
Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the U.S. Around 25,000 deaths each year are linked to excessive consumption of sugary drinks.
There’s no solid evidence of a single death directly caused by artificial sweeteners.
But sure demonize 0 calorie soda, fucking grifters.
Coastbrah@coastbrah
0 calorie sodas are WORSE than normal ones. At least your body knows what REAL sugar is. Ray Peat shortly spoke about this at length.

@semphisss this tweet needs a community note
did you do 0 research prior to tweeting this?
fkn retard lmao diet soda is way worse for you.
English
@_Investinq In fact, its way worse than our coal plants. WAY worse for the planet.
English
@_Investinq The 1 issue:
The plant needs salt. Not coal.
The plant emits huge amounts of nitrogen oxides, which is significantly worse than CO2.
It solves 0 issues lol

This alone is reason enough to be against remakes, they mean that everything going forward will be tainted

@ShitpostRock2 the correct answer is:

Question to people who wear glasses, do you really need to spend 1k on good glasses or is this literally just to flex?

@DComebackfiles @rawsalerts Yeah, thats pretty retarded bro, don't give a shit

@rawsalerts If the r-word is making a comeback, it’s not just a language problem.
It’s a mirror.
A mirror showing us how empathy is eroding.
How cruelty is being rebranded as “edgy.”
How some people confuse mockery with freedom.
We fought this battle before.
We’re ready to fight it again.

@AshleyDCan @BasedMikeLee oh yeah, and your little gambling app "polymarket" is also doing its job in keeping people poor too
you bring shame to this country on a daily basis, so maybe keep your israeli paid opinions to yourself

@AshleyDCan @BasedMikeLee if people cant afford groceries theres this thing called a job
correct me if im wrong, but you are wealthy, so you should probably stop speaking for the poor.

@AshleyDCan @BasedMikeLee passports are extremely easy to get.
hope this helps
English
@BasedMikeLee your solution is to depend on the government to process non passport documents in time for the election, which has no timeline
that basically means if you want to vote, you need to get a passport to assure it will get done in time
you know this yet you continue to lie

@ParkzRS @Iamsharknado @OldSchoolRS Hunter. Now name a single use for hunter when it was added to the game in 2006.
Oh, thats right, it was just added to the game, so it was completely useless.
Can yall stop bitching and let the skill grow? Yall didn't want it to affect the rest of the game, so they isolated it.
English
@Iamsharknado @OldSchoolRS Ever played the game? Every other skill, other than firemaking, have a purpose to use/go back to/work into other parts of the game. Tf you mean???
Name 1 other skill that is completely isolated & unnecessary to play the rest of the game, other than firemaking.

@_LiarsDice_ @AshleyDCan @BasedMikeLee the only thing i can agree on that is stupid, is the 30 day purging. if you're for whatever reason on that purge list, thats just annoying af for a citizen to have to do all over again.
that being said, proof of citizenship should definitely be required for voting.

@AshleyDCan @BasedMikeLee Ashley, why is this a problem? The impact of voting is high, as should the requirements be to safeguard the process.
