Even worse, oat milk.

The Lawson Criterion originated in the 50s describes this. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lawson_criterion#:~:text=When the rate of production,is said to be ignited.

This is mostly just puffery. The purpose of the National Ignition Facility (funded by the National Nuclear Security Agency Administration not directly by the Department of Energy who funds commercial fusion research) is to keep nuclear weapons designers and testers employed while there is a test ban in effect - protecting human capital so that they stay in the field while they can’t do what they are experts in. The NIF cost about $3.5Billion and has an annual budget of about $400M. However the DoE is willing to put a few tens of millions into inertial confinement research for commercial fusion power generation which uses the same principle. They separately fund research around magnetic confinement. https://www.energy.gov/articles/doe-announces-42-million-inertial-fusion-energy-hubs#:~:text=WASHINGTON%2C D.C. — The U.S. Department,of the Department's researchers into These NIF experiments are a dead-end for commercial fusion power generation. While they are producing a little more energy from fusion reactions than hit the target, several orders of magnitude more energy are required to initiate the experiment. And each experiment involved a single tiny highly-engineered target. And each experiment produces less energy than a shovel of coal.

Gift card for his gaming platform of choice If she likes wine (and cheese) there are various vendors that do monthly subscriptions for wine and cheese pairings.

I think Alec Baldwin in ‘Glengarry, Glen Ross” plays this kind of character better. ”You see this watch. This watch costs more than your car.”

From Eraserhead, I loved the last line in this dialog. Mrs. X: There's a baby. It's at the hospital. Mary X: Mom! Mrs. X: And you're the father. Henry Spencer: Well, well that's impossible! It's only been... Mary X: Mother, they're still not sure it is a baby

Well at least that gives people a reason to be on the LinkedIn cesspool this weekend for a reason other than posting the usual self-congratulatory bull****. ”Attacked for who I love …”, no, I think it’s a matter of choosing to express that love in the form of having sex in the workplace, and on video.

Follow up question … what act would he consider to be showing disrespect for your workplace. Never mind. I don’t want to hear the answer.

It was probably upside down.

“and the purported USB drive was a ginger mint.” It’s a common mistake.

Ben is a little ill informed if he is unaware of the connections between tap dancing and racism. Minstrel show anyone?

Gifts for the 12 Days of Christmas only up by 2.7% overall this year, thanks in no small part to the eight maids a milking and nine ladies dancing not increasing prices at all. https://www.pnc.com/en/about-pnc/topics/pnc-christmas-price-index.html

I’m with the haters on this one. Tap dancing ruins everything, including Christmas. But I suppose I can be thankful that there wasn’t some acapella singing.

If you are a woman of child-bearing age, should your medical insurer now also negotiate rates for your legal fees incurred in political disputes?

He just misunderstood what was expected of him when he was told that he’d be streaming live.

Her doctor is saying that the abortion is medically necessary. How is Paxton allowed to disagree with this and practice medicine without a license?

Reminds me of Ricky Gervais at the Golden Globes

I think they are coaching the team. He looks like one of the cast of Trailer Park Boys.

Yeah - she seems to be like many big names in the music business who have been screwed over by agents, managers and record companies, and now assert more control. That alone is hardly enough to rise to person of the year other than being one of the largest players, and being a solo (relatively young) female who took control. Two arguments are her ‘crossing over’ into prime time NFL and bringing millions of her fans with her, and encouraging younger folks to register to vote (and how that has triggered some of the right-wing Twitterverse). And yes, The Federalist is writing articles headlined like this:

That’s getting close. I should have included ‘entitled’ as he, like other members of the British Royal Family, spend their abundant leisure time speaking on topics where they have absolutely no expertise.

The correct term is ‘inbred halfwit German divorcee.’
