Some of these test components were helium cooled at up to 700°C and 80 bar. At least that was the goal. We didn't quite achieve the 700 yet while I was there. Little bit insane to cool something at that temperature, but needed in fusion reactor for neutron damage mitigation.

It has been suggested that the orange color might be from evaporated rust on the metallic test tiles. I am not sure a thin rust layer could produce such an amount of deposits. Here is my alternative explanation, coming from my background in fusion tech: 🧵

@BellikOzan I'm more concerned with the effect on the motivation of the work force. Sure, it will adjust over time. But it might take a while. That's why I was wondering how he can "win" with his party while keeping the work force happy. Like what would his role be? He can't run for Presidnt

@Ashtorak At this point, he's already made enough enemies and both sides are badly misaligned with his goals. I'd expect further involvement to only be detrimental to SpaceX and co if he loses.

I'll come out and say it. I want Elon to win at politics too. Not because I trust him or I'm that well aligned with him, but because I think a movement he drives would be within the realm of acceptable, and I consider the alternatives on both sides to be decidedly unacceptable. Precedent suggests a third party is unlikely to gain meaningful power in the US. But success remains within the set of possible outcomes.

@rand0mroman @SzabBen004 War cool in Karlsruhe, aber manchmal doch etwas zu heiß dort (: Da ist man froh, in einer deutlich kühleren Gegend zu leben. Schnee im Winter ist auch cool :)

Sometimes I revisit old @hatebreed bangers like "Perseverance" and "Live For This" Always gives great motivation, and memories of seeing them live for the first time 20 years ago. Both accompanying albums are great :)

@quite1enough @doctorow So what happens to the founder of a company when it becomes very successful? Take their company from them and give it to … who? The government? Black Rock? What happens to these companies now ruled by government or hedge fund shareholders?

@TimSweeneyEpic @PPSSPP_emu Hey Tim, I like to use Epic Games Store, but can you please consider lifting review requirements for every little update. While it's quick usually it can be annoying and problematic to wait for a day for an important hot fix.

PPSSPP Gold v1.18 is still not out for iOS - it's stuck in App Store Review. For now, it's best to use the free version, even if you've bought Gold to support the project. Blog post linked in reply below (to avoid Elon's link deboost) >>

Fun fact: Currently installed PV capacity on earth should be somewhere around 1.5 TW, which equates to about 7500 km², a bit less than Cyprus or Puerto Rico. Capacity is doubling every three years. If we continue at this rate, the whole earth would be covered in just 50 years!

I was there 15 years ago when this project was about to start. Back then ITER was scheduled to start operation in 2017. Even though, everyone knew that they won't get a novel 1 MV DC- device like that developed anywhere close to that time frame. Organization of ITER is so weird😆

Amazing to see the development of the ITER neutral beam source going in its final phase. They will need to operate this thing at 1000 kV DC with negative polarity, which is a huge challenge, and it seems they have made some good steps into that direction. iter.org/node/20687/suc…

@ajzadar @EthicalSkeptic @TheProjectUnity Apart from that, this civilization had advanced construction technologies, but wasn't able to write anything down on stone to pass it on? Instead, they passed on all their knowledge completely orally? About how to use copper wires to detect EM waves?

@ajzadar @EthicalSkeptic @TheProjectUnity So everything is lost, except these huge piles of stones, that have done pretty well? On the other hand, there are zero other stones left anywhere, that give any hint of a substantially sized civilization that lived in that place thousands of years before Khufre times?

It really pisses me off that we continue to be gaslit into believing that the most impressive and cosmically aligned energy centre constructed on Earth is just a fucking tomb. No mummies found. ZERO! Not a single one has EVER been found inside The Great Pyramid. NOT ONE.

@EthicalSkeptic @TheProjectUnity I have thought about your theory over the last days. But having no explanation for who built it instead and their remains, makes it unbelievable for me, as good as everything else might sound.

@TheProjectUnity The guessing and gaslighting is over, yes. We have solved its enigma. Once you grasp this, you will know why they lied to us this entire time.

@elonmusk In your sense? Why don't you do your job and take us to Mars. Instead you love a moron, kill innocent Americans and are unwilling to constructively address problems. If you want to get to Mars, you have to work with the people, not against them.
