I don’t understand what you’re saying here, Joyce. A vaccine cannot cause AIDS. What’s the problem with him mentioning that fact? I also don’t think you can assume that being both Christian and anti-vaxx is an issue of faith. I’m betting that more often than not, it’s an issue of personal health choice and the influence of the anti-vaxx movement.

understand that you mean well, but why do you so frequently retweet these anti-science postings? they are probably not made in good faith but to provoke. when an anti-vaxxer identifies as a Christian that is a tell that faith, if not politicized blind faith, is the issue.
Neil Stone@DrNeilStone

Of all the anti vaccine scaremongering tactics the idea of VAIDS is the most ridiculous Vaccine induced AIDS People find AIDS scary So let's pretend vaccines cause it It's pathetic

@stats_feed Underpaid workers. Imagine the booming economy fueled by workers earning, say, 25% more. That money would be juice the economy while allowing more personal financial freedom. Heck, maybe one parent could actually stay home , making stronger adults. You know. Like before.

Lori Garver@Lori_Garver·
I was the most visible govt leader promoting transition to commercial crew. As head of transition & then NASA Deputy, our budget proposal invested in commercial cargo & crew instead of Ares I & Orion. Trad-space saw our plan as an existential threat. "Sen. David Vitter of Louisiana — the panel’s ranking Republican — made abundantly clear that he blames NASA Deputy Administrator Lori Garver, not Bolden, for the human spaceflight overhaul proposed in President Barack Obama’s budget request for 2011. "I’m just sorry, quite frankly, in terms of this hearing that we are not going to hear from who I suspect are the true lead architects of this very radical budget proposal, including Deputy Administrator Garver,” Vitter said.

I thought the governor of Louisiana was done with giving coaches these absurd rewards and buyouts. Isn’t he in charge of all this now at LSU?
Wilson Alexander@whalexander_

This has been updated to include a fascinating part of Lane Kiffin's deal: LSU agreed to pay his postseason bonuses even though he won't coach Ole Miss in the CFP, so he could still make up to $1 million if the Rebels win a national title without him. #tncms-source=featured-top" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">theadvocate.com/baton_rouge/sp…

@EricRWeinstein I think Fauci and others like him have hurt science in more ways than you may think. I may be wrong, but in general there is a mistrust of experts/scientists because they have led us wrong.

@JoyceCarolOates Finally, no single public policy would do more for America and her citizens than a fully paid route to post HS education: 2 years of college courses followed by technical training or continuing to a 4 year degree. Let’s lift each other up to a better life and country.

@JoyceCarolOates Too, the funding model has resulted in outrageous student costs, saddling young people with lifelong burdens. We pay a huge communal cost as worthy students are driven away. Certainly current politics are informed by adults deprived of the critical thinking skills we so need.

why? in both cases the instructor/grade were upheld. do you think there has ever been a time in history when educators, instructors, students were in perfect harmony? how surprised people might be to do a little research into student uprisings & rebellions in the 19th century at distinguished universities. nothing remotely like it today.

@JoyceCarolOates Don't these stories undermine entirely the value we place on a college degree?

@Lubli28 @JoyceCarolOates @ms_frazzled Yes, but no. We accept laughably low wages and salaries, resulting in households requiring that both adults work. We have a strong anti-union sentiment and we worship capitalism, despite the obvious failure to protect and provide for the common good.

@ms_frazzled The cause of low birth rate is a lack of social support for mothers - expensive daycares, literally no parental leave, high medical costs. We roughly pay the same tax rate as Germans but we don’t get all the social cushion they do. Education is not a problem here.

@DJSnM Research Helion a bit more. They do direct energy conversion without the need for a heat cycle and have no significant neutron production.
Phil Trubey@PTrubey

This is the company that will build the world's first commercial scale fusion power plant, and it'll be done in three years. Listen to this interview with the CEO to learn more about it (skip past the first part of you already know about fission and fusion energy), but here's my synopsis of how this works and why it's unique. First, realize that most power plants, coal, oil, natural gas, and yes, even current nuclear power plants, are thermal plants. They create heat, which boils water, generates steam which runs a steam turbine to generate electricity. It's literally 100 year old technology with some efficiency updates, but the best they can do is convert 35% of the fuel energy into electricity, the rest is waste heat. The rest of the world's fusion power plant prototypes will use this same steam generator system and throw away 65% of generated energy. Helion instead uses direct energy to electricity conversion, no heat cycle engine, and can be 85% energy efficient. As an overview, it uses a giant capacitor bank to electromagnetically accelerate a fusion fuel plasma (deuterium and He-3) while also electromagnetically compressing it to a target. It does this from two different directions, colliding each beam. This magnetically compressed, fast moving and high heat plasma will fuse in milliseconds and produce new charged particles (protons) which will then push against the magnetic field. The system then bleeds the resultant energy in this much more energetic magnetic field (due to the fusion) back into its capacitor bank. This is a pulsed fusion system that runs at 100 Hz in tests (100 pulses per second), and each pulse produces more electricity than was put in. This is the only fusion technology that makes any sense to me. All the others have tons of unsolved problems. In the video below, learn about fusion energy at a more detailed level, how David runs his company (very similar to Elon), how their system can be tightly coupled with AI data centers without even needing to produce AC electricity and much more.

I see a few people asking whether there's a better way to generate power from fission or fusion than boiling water to spin turbines. There is, but it's not what you think. You can use the heat to boil Mercury and use that to run turbines. The higher temperatures means higher efficiency from the Rankine cycle. This was actually used in a handful of power plants, and NASA even investigated it for spaceflight.
