    Lockheed Martin puts out a Fusion Related Press Release

    I admire your optimism for Lockheed's success, but I don't share it. Until they can provide a substantial demonstration, I'm very skeptical.

    Lockheed Martin puts out a Fusion Related Press Release

    You just answered your own question? The F-35 program is a well-documented epic fuck-up. The F-22 can't properly supply oxygen to pilots, causing them to black out during flight. Those aren't snarky, they're just plain embarrassing. However, I have no idea what their recent record is in...

    Lockheed Martin puts out a Fusion Related Press Release

    Good call. In one of his smarter acts as president, Bush Jr sunk significant money into the Human Genome project. It was a success; it is already starting to pay dividends in individualized medicine and we are just scratching the surface of its usefulness. So more money into genetic...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    In fairness to the friend (who is still a friend), he didn't give her a glowing vouch; he just gave the "sure, go ahead" and failed to issue a proper warning. She was decent at hiding the full-on crazy at first. The selfish bubbled up first, while the crazy lurked under the surface. And even...

    ^^^^ Yep. Question -- what's better, a friend that cock blocks, or a friend that knowingly lets you walk into crazy? Prior to meeting my ex, one of my friends clearly let me walk into crazy. I met a girl at his party and when I asked him about her, he gave me the go-ahead. He had dated...

    Lockheed Martin puts out a Fusion Related Press Release

    I'm no nuclear engineer, but containing any nuclear reaction is inherently dangerous in my understanding. It's probably less dangerous than fission, though. While the actual fuel may not be rods you have to store for 100K years, the parts of the machine exposed to the reaction tend to become...

    Rather than discussing how to fund it, how about we agree fusion energy would be nice until Lockheed makes space laser robots and kills us all.

    Lockheed Martin puts out a Fusion Related Press Release

    You got me curious. According toWikipedia, worldwide production is 84 million bbl/day. The current price of oil is around$85/bbl. So about $7.14B/day is produced. $50B is about 7 days of oil production.

    Maybe I phrased my thoughts poorly. Scenarios: 1) She was outright cheating and really good at keeping it quiet --> Unlikely, as she is one of the least forward-thinking/strategic people I've met. But who knows, stranger things have happened. 2) She had plans to jump nests and they didn't...

    Agreed. It should probably be said that it's been like 5 months since this started, so I've had time to reflect, discuss with others, and bounce back from it some. The processes (both legal and personal) take time. It just became official, so on the off chance she were to take offense to my...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    Couldn't give you a definitive answer. Work travel caused some distance and we weren't communicating well at the time, but both of those are very fixable. I got blindsided, as divorce was 100% her idea and came very suddenly. The conversation that I expected to be "We're in a funk, let's...

    Viable fusion reactors have been the holy grail of energy production since forever. Huge scientific organizations spend megabucks researching it with mediocre results. Sandia's Z Machine, Berkley's NIF laser, and numerous American and European groups have tried different versions of toroidal...

    Fair enough. However, going online with a bunch of strangers, telling them you're into things that society finds odd and expecting them to give you a big thumbs up & pat on the back is setting yourself up for disappointment. I see your point as to WHY they are doing it, but practically, it's...

    When the long discussion thread was in full swing with Glaive, Jerle and company, this is the sticking point I always hit with them. It wasn't enough to say, "You can do what you want, it's you're life. As long as everyone is a willing participant, it's cool." They wanted approval. Like...

    That is still worrisome. It really depends what amount will get her to be a terrible human being. An extra $1,250/month = $15,000 a year. All for the small price of lawyering up, going to court, saying you're a shitty father and she needs custody. Her expenses remain relatively level, and...

    This is very good advice. Since everyone (myself included) besides maybe Cad is guessing, you should really talk to a lawyer. I'm with Iannis: there is no such thing as an offhanded comment about money. And even if her money situation isn't great, she will find a lawyer if she's determined...

    Why? She WAIVED support in the agreement. Are you suggesting that if she went back and requested it, they would apply the "un-waiving" retroactively? If so, can you back that up with case law?

    There IS something specifying he's paying what he should (which is nothing, officially): the LEGAL AGREEMENT that says no support is needed due to equal custody and their current income situation. Which the court approved. She could say there's been a change to the situation and now she...

    I thought Tanoomba admitted a while ago that once he realized the forum didn't agree with his views, he purposely went full retard because drawing a reaction is fun. I mean, maybe he's just saying that while crying and jerking off at the same time, but it's plausible.
