"Skeptics Guide To The Future" is supposed to be pretty good, and "Black Hole War" is a great read but might be old news to a pro in the field.

Idk that it's better than renewables, I'd say they're complimentary. And I'm not sure we'd need new big multi-million new ones, newer models can be much smaller, cheaper, and modular. But places like Germany shutting down perfectly functional nuclear plants drives me nuts, just ups the coal and gas usage.

To my understanding they don't use up the water though, it's evaporated back into the cycle after use. Also they can use non potable water like salt water, if memory serves.

Coal dropped, but looks like natural gass usage jumped. That's only a small difference in carbon output. Nuclear is the way to go until we've got a solid infrastructure that can handle the ups and downs of renewables, grid storage and general upgrades, nation wide.

I guess it's better than the "guns for teachers" bullshit, but fuck... Surely we can do better

Mint is where I started and I think it's a great way to begin. Lots of helpful GUI interfacing to get you situated. Plus the popularity makes finding help a lot easier.

Awesome table, especially after ten years! Have you ever had to refinish it?

I don't 'read' them so much as I listen, LaVar Burton Reads is an amazing podcast where he reads a short story a week.

Really like the idea of a Science instance, it'd be pretty handy for newcomers and just organization in general.

Jigs and more jigs. Replace any older/worn out ply in other projects (bench tops, shelving, ...jigs)?
