Sigh. Bigger ecosystem for the rest of us I guess.

Guess I’m not buying anymore sparkfun stuff.

Shame.

Holy…

More like grouchy Marx, amrite?? Eh? Eh?

I’d talk to you if you were on the map 👍

Be the change 😎

In sum, these guys at EAST got the Greenwald limit elevated in their tokamak, which indirectly influences the Lawson criterion: nTTau, density * time at said density * plasma energy released. Lawson is the master finish line for measuring whether a fusion system can actually make more power than it consumes.

To date, when you cross the Greenwald limit, the man/woman in the operators seat should expect the plasma inside the device to become uncontrollable, hurting the reactor by touching the walls or instruments inside, a so-called “disruption”. Only a few topologies like the stellerator can exceed the limit, and so far, only by 5x.

But here we have a way to exceed the limit in the much more researched tokamak. This research has positive impact for all but the weirdest/niche fusion devices.

There are topologies which don’t require steam heating for electricity generation…

Unlike this captain positivity’s social life, fusion is making some sizable strides forward in short order.

I design diagnostics going into systems like these, there’s a lot of positive news coming our way.

Helion’s gonna have some problems though.

What a low quality joke. The humor was bad too.

Almost like all of this exploitation & money hoarding crap is rooted in some kind of mental disorder…

😆 this is a great response

Foam earplugs on motorcycles, folks!

In city at low speeds? That’s ok, you may not need them.

Anything on the highway? Earplugs, the wooshing will eventually woosh your ability to hear away.

I’m glad you posted it. Wherever, as long as I can read it. I appreciate the other person’s spirit too, but just glad for knowledge being shared.

I have 4mbps down, 3 up. But I only pay $10/mo.

Damn, that sucks too. Not sure which outcome I’d pick in retrospect.

Knowing my luck I’d have gotten a taste of both options 😂

In retrospect we’re all like “how could you make such a mistake”, but I guess ya gotta start somewhere.

Apparently that “somewhere” happens to smell like crispy flesh. Who knew?

Fuck, this was my first burn in my entire life when I was 4.

What’s that weird “bler” text? Several other strange artifacts here and there
