Bulletins and News Discussion from September 23rd to September 29th, 2024 - The War In The North
  • they should blow up the oil rigs in the gulf and have this fucking fight they know is coming. I see no path to deescalation after today, either its war with the demons of empire or Iran gives up the resistance in Palestine and Lebanon. Europe would be left reeling from such an energy attack with Russia already cutting them off, and precious fucking yanks will have a societal meltdown if gas prices go up by $3. Enough warnings, retake the inititive and punish the west for their arrogance. I hope Iran is mobilizing whatever is necessary for full scale war because it is coming now.

  • The Benefits of World Hunger
  • Nah they are doing like A Modest Proposal satire thing, that's funny. Guilty liberals just don't want to hear it and assuage that guilt by making the UN not joke about it at brunch. That's basically as good as actually feeding people.

  • A fully sentient A.I.
  • humans make humans, and humans speak human. Do we kill humans? The AI could also communicate just to dunk on us or attain some strategic advantage, you can't assume any motivation really because an AGI would not have the same biological motives as an animal.

  • America: I’ve assembled an elite team of Uberimperialist super soldiers to protect Taiwan! China: Cool. I have assembled an elite team of 10000 $25 drones which are approaching their location rapidly
  • Even after killing the guy you still managed to fuck it up by being so undisciplined that you multilate the body of the HVT beyond recognition, thus ruining the entire point of the mission and forcing the body to be quietly dumped into the ocean before it becomes an international embarrassment.

    Was suppose to be a victory lap for imperialism but they got too mad and lost their shit mid way through. Seal team six is on the same level as conservative comedians.

    China Launches World's First Fourth-Generation Nuclear Reactor

    China has taken a step ahead of competitors in civil nuclear energy technology as it started up the world's first fourth-generation nuclear reactor this week.

    The Shidaowan nuclear power plant, which features the world's first fourth-generation reactor, started commercial operations on December 6, China National Nuclear Corporation (CNNC), one of the project's developers, said.

    "China's independently developed high-temperature gas-cooled reactor demonstrator commenced commercial operation," CNNC said in a statement.

    "It signifies that China has completed the world's first commercially operational modular nuclear power plant with fourth-generation nuclear technology, marking the transition of fourth-generation nuclear technology from experiments to the commercial market."

    Generation IV reactors are considered safer and more efficient.

    "The tests confirmed that commercial-scale reactors could be cooled down naturally without emergency core cooling systems for the first time in the world. It is the so-called inherently safe reactor," Tsinghua University, one of the joint developers of the reactor, said.

    Such reactors can produce heat, electricity, and hydrogen and would help China and the world "become carbon neutral," Zhang Zuoyi, dean of the Tsinghua University Institute of Nuclear and New Energy Technology and chief designer of the Shidaowan reactor project, told South China Morning Post.

    The fourth-generation reactor in operation now puts China "ahead of other countries in terms of nuclear technology research and development," Francois Morin, China director of industry group World Nuclear Association, told The Wall Street Journal.

    According to Morin, Western countries are set to launch their fourth-generation nuclear reactors only in the early 2030s.

    David Fishman, a China-based senior manager at energy consulting firm Lantau Group, told the Journal that "China is arguably peerless in actually building and commercializing next-generation nuclear power technology."

    Many countries in the West, with the notable exception of Germany, have recognized that nuclear power generation would help them achieve net-zero emission goals.

    At the COP28 climate summit currently underway in Dubai, the United States and 21 other countries pledged to triple nuclear energy capacity by 2050, saying incorporating more nuclear power in their energy mix is critical for achieving their net zero goals in the coming decades.

    The United States, alongside Britain, France, Canada, Sweden, South Korea, Ghana, and the United Arab Emirates (UAE), among others, signed the declaration at the COP28 climate summit.

    "The Declaration recognizes the key role of nuclear energy in achieving global net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 and keeping the 1.5-degree Celsius goal within reach," the U.S. Department of State said.

    China is not a signatory to that declaration, but it aims to develop more nuclear energy capacities to reduce emissions as its demand for electricity rises. !xigma-male

    As of 2020, nuclear energy accounted for 5% of China's generation mix, which continued to be dominated by coal, per data from the World Nuclear Association.

    By 2035, nuclear energy is expected to make up 10% of the electricity generation mix and 18% by 2060, Chinese media quoted the China Nuclear Energy Association (CNEA) as saying earlier this year.

    As of September 2023, China had 55 nuclear power units in operation with a combined installed capacity of 57 GW, and 24 units under construction with a total installed capacity of 27.8 GW, Xinhua quoted CNEA official Wang Binghua as saying. By 2060, that capacity is expected to jump to 400 GW, the official said.

    China is also expected to approve six to eight nuclear power units each year "within the foreseeable future."

    Salute to Comrade Rocha, the Former US ambassador to Bolivia who was arrested Friday for spying for Cuba for 40 years

    >"For me, what has been done, has strengthened the Revolution," Rocha allegedly said in one recorded meeting, bragging about his actions. "They underestimated what we could do to them. We did more than they thought."

    In support of president-elect Milei's dollarization plans, Valve increases Steam prices by up to 2900% in Argentina (and Turkey)
    www.pcgamer.com 'Today is the end of Steam': Argentina and Turkey floored by new Steam price hikes as high as 2900%

    Steam's new pricing policy for Latin America and the MENA region came in yesterday.

    boring real news

    They say the peso and lira were too unstable and prices were being changed too often, so Valve just told devs to start setting prices in USD at "regionally appropriate" rates. I am not aware of Gaben's opinions on Argentinian politics, thankfully
