Says you. I spent hours grinding gorillas for an aged gorilla sinew.

No, you're thinking of the War Thunder forums.

They can last forever, or you can push them too hard with too little cooling to save money. Almost all bulbs seem to do this.

When was the last time someone checked the lead levels in the drinking water in North Carolina?

It's the US. I'm sure it was checked, found to be dangerously high, they determined that work needed to be done immediately and then it just wasn't done.

Note that this isn't vkd3d-proton, the d3d12 implementation that Valve's Proton and most gamers are using.

For a while now new hardware has been like 10% faster and also 10% more expensive, so they could have saved a lot of R&D time by continuing to manufacture everything from 2020 and added just a couple of new things to the top of the product stack.

Everyone who's looking to make money is building wind, solar and batteries. Nobody's looking to invest in nuclear. That's what the people with all the financial data and feasability studies are doing.

The only people we've got pushing for nuclear are the people who were trying to build new coal plants a few years ago.

We can't build them in China, though. Only China can do that. My country doesn't even have an existing nuclear industry.

Sure we could start building reactors now, but we can get enough solar and battery storage through the night for less than nuclear would cost.

 

Just two years ago my car's 50 kWh battery weighed around 350 kg, now you can get a 45 kWh battery that fits in the palm of your hand!
