Comment Just more leftist propaganda (Score 1) 260

For those who have been asleep for the last ten years: the left claims that *everything* Trump does will be an end-of-the-world disaster. The left has barely finished screaming about how dropping a few bombs on Iran will start WWIII. Just like Trump making fun of Kim Jun Un will start WWIII.

The left is also screaming about how 14 million people will die if Trump stops some obvious government waste, fraud, and abuse.

None of this stuff ever happens. It is just propaganda.

BTW: diversity hiring is a civil rights violation, and - in the long run - the worst thing you can do for minorities.

Comment Why I stopped going to movies (Score 1) 183

I used to go the theaters all the time, no I hardly ever go.

In no particular order:

1. Way to expense for an experience that, at best, is marginally better than watching it on television.
2. Annoying people in theaters who talk non-stop and use their phones.
3. Movies are not very good. Uninteresting stories. Uninteresting characters. Rehashed woke crap. Nothing that is thought provoking in the least.
4. Time travel and parallel universes mean that nothing that happens actually happens, so who cares? Main character dies? No problem, some time travel will fix that right up.
5. It will be streaming soon enough anyway.

Submission + - World's first mass-producible nuclear reactor set for testing by US startup (interestingengineering.com)

walterbyrd writes: The reactor, known as Kaleidos, is a 1-megawatt microreactor engineered for modularity, rapid deployment, and diesel-generator replacement.

The size is basically a truck-trailer, and they hope to produce 50 per year.

Industry analysts view Kaleidos as a key player in the emerging field of tactical and off-grid nuclear energy, an area of strategic interest for national defense planners and climate-focused investors.

I think BSD administration is easier, and much more UNIX like.

For example, If you want to use a static IP instead of dynamic, it is a very simple one or lines to change. And it stays the for years, if not decades.

With Linux, first you have to consider which distro you are using. Then there is a systemd way of doing things, and a UNIX way of doing things.

I find BSD more straight forward and consistent.
