  • Small modular molten salt reactors. Probably won't solve the energy crisis in their current form, but could be insanely useful for specific applications once reactor production is mature.

  • I loved Enders Game, Enders Shadow and Speaker for the Dead. It had a great emotional importance to me. Especially Enders Shadow, it was one of the first books I read that properly described starvation. I went through a lot as a child, and Beans story of a starving, smart, small kid really resonated with me in the period after my own tribulation. I don't think Shadow has the same impact on people without some of my experiences, so I chose to use the main arc and I've always felt that Ender would rather be remembered as The Speaker more than anything else. Probably silly, but I'm fine with that. In short, I agree, Enders Game is the better book. Speaker is just the pay off.

    Moby Dick has always infuriated and enthralled me. I read 5 pages, hate myself. Start reading again in 15 minutes because I can't get it out of my head.

  • I use both. I like some aspects of each better. Reddit mostly has some specific large communities I can't find on lemmy due to size, or lemmys demographics just not enjoying that topic.

  • Tech bros love to rename terrible shit from the past and call it an invention.

  • It's amazing how they tolerated people preaching for violence against women and immigrants for over a decade, but all of sudden their passion for non-violence is so extreme after a rich white guy gets killed.

  • I'm still learning to code, but I tried out a bunch and I've liked using Vim, VScodium and Pycharm.

  • He looks like an elderly man who is addicted to spray tan.
