Imagine not blowing your fireballs and lightnings against level 1 mice when you’re level 10 and making your fighters regret running in headfirst.

Modern reactor design also pretty much makes runaway reactions nearly impossible, as in, you have to actually try to fuck it up.

Even Fukushima didn’t have a runaway reaction, it just lost coolant.

Lean philosophy is supposed to account for those dice-rolling moments. It’s not just “keep nothing in inventory”, there is supposed to be risk assessment involved.

The problem is that leadership doesn’t interpret it that way and just sees “minimizing inventory increases profit!”

F35A is now down to about $70 million/piece now, which further demonstrates the point of costs coming down with mass production I think.

It originally was more like $150 million.

Australian taskmaster is a treasure and there’s nothing you can say to convince me otherwise.

I’ve told many (usually new) design engineers that they’re stupid for asking for 0.001" tolerance on parts when they only need 0.005 “or 0.010”. The difference between 0.010" and sub-10 micron is easily a factor of 100 in most parts, ESPECIALLY when you’re talking larger steel components like panels on a freaking car.

That station is always an outlier and not at all representative of prices in LA. Right across the street from that place they sell gas for a normal price.

Everyone in LA laughs every time someone references that gas station because it’s clearly either a trap (for tourists/rental cars on an expense account) or a front for a mob.

Just as an example, right now gas prices are around the $5.00-5.40 range (5.40 for premium).

That gas station is currently at $6.60/gal for regular. There’s a chevron right down the street for $5.15/gal

As always, the tradeoff that money buys, as in almost every case, is time.

Once you do it the first time though it’s pretty easy to do it the next time.

You do NOT have to pay a service, despite tax preparation services acting like you have to.

I’m spooked by the fact that you have no idea how the US enriches uranium, or the difference between a power pressurized water reactor and a fast “breeder” reactor (if you were thinking of plutonium) or a centrifuge.

The US enriches uranium using a gas-centrifuge. The US also no longer recycles spent nuclear fuel, but France does.

Luxemburg doesn’t anymore

That’s about what YouTube creators would get for the same amount of hits, which still doesn’t make it a lot but I think it’s an interesting comparison.

There are currently ~366 million Twitter users.

If Musk paid each person $100 to start using “X” instead, he’d spend $36.6 billion, leaving him with $7.4 billion to actually build the rest of the website and infrastructure.

Yup, he’s stupid.

It is. It says so on its profile page.

It’s honestly one of the more annoying ones too imo.

My personal theory: to offset activity losses and show shareholders that they can still drive engagement.

When r/politics was created, and for a vast majority of reddits existence, Americans made up a majority of reddit, and for a long time made up a supermajority.

Of course there was a US-Bias.

There goes pennsylvania@lemmy.world

Sorry guys, gotta leave.

The OP bot isn’t the worst imo, it’s been very upfront about what it is, but there is a larger issue that bot detection isn’t that great on lemmy.

Thank you, I’m thoroughly annoyed.

If you compare r/all to what it was pre-protest it is fairly obvious that there’s a huge difference. Besides the subs that are outright still protesting, there’s a lot less comments on front-page posts. It’s pretty easy now to get to posts with essentially 0 comments on the front page (that aren’t locked) compared to before.
