We are no where near close to running out of nuclear material. And for its energy density, we are unlikely to run out anytime in the next 10000 years. It can also be found in asteroids or other rocky bodies, so unlike wood or fossil fuels, Earth isn't the only place to get it.

I'd like Nuclear power not to be thrown out with the bathwater because it is practically essential for space travel/colonization in the long term. Solar panels can only get us so far, and batteries are a stop-gap. We need nuclear power because it is the only energy source that can meet our needs while being small enough to carry with us.

All should praise the magic, hot rocks.

For a VERY brief time in 2010, Burger King sold bone-in short ribs.

Guys, those were literally the best fucking short ribs I have had in my life. High end BBQ places couldn't even come close. Every Burger King would sell out like instantly whenever they got a shipment in. And then after 2 months... Gone. Forever.

It feels like Quebec trying to keep French a main language in Canada is like trying to hold back a flood with Popsicle sticks. Its use is increasingly confined to just their one territory and practically no one there exclusively speaks French.

And how is any of that the fault of spending paltry amounts of research budgets on research grants? Has the space industry been lobbying against healthcare reform? No.

Anyone remember that scene in the beginning of Interstellar where the teacher is reporting to the dad that his daughter was spreading lies that man landed on the moon? It's supposed to highlight how society has grown so jaded against space exploration that they no longer remember their past accomplishments or the massive advances of technology that space exploration has brought.

I feel like that's where we're heading. In the past decade, many people have become really antagonistic about space. They see big numbers and think it's a waste of money, failing to understand that the money isn't being thrown in a pit and set on fire. It's being used to pay and fund cutting edge research and development on technology that can benefit all of humanity.

Right? I kept hearing this claim so I finally watched Hidden Fortress and now it pisses me off at how much of a huge fucking stretch has to be made. "Oh, two comic relief buddy characters in an otherwise mostly serious film? Must be a Hidden Fortress ripoff!"

Fuck off. You might as well say they're similar because both movies use moving pictures and sound to tell a story.
