Shane Tamura, a Las Vegas casino security worker, was carrying a handwritten note in his wallet that claimed he had chronic traumatic encephalopathy, known at CTE, investigators said. He accused the league [NFL] of hiding the dangers of brain injuries linked to contact sports.

antler@feddit.onlineto Technology@lemmy.world•Startup Claims Its Fusion Reactor Concept Can Turn Cheap Mercury Into GoldEnglish5·5 days agoSure - they’re claiming to do two very difficult things simultaneously (net positive fusion and transmute mercury to gold at scale) which makes me even more skeptical. It’s like saying “Not only can pigs fly, but we’ve taught them to simultaneously do calculus.”
antler@feddit.onlineto Technology@lemmy.world•Startup Claims Its Fusion Reactor Concept Can Turn Cheap Mercury Into GoldEnglish12·6 days agoThis article says (5 tonnes/yr) per GW produced. It’s a fusion reactor, so it’s making electricity, not consuming it.
At $0.05/kWh, 1 GWh of electricity is $438 million. At $3400/troy ounce, 5 tonnes of gold is $545 million. So that jives with the company’s estimate on the article that the sale of gold could double their revenue.
All bunk, of course
Also the one where he was shopping at the supermarket (complaining about the number of options) and the one where he was looking for Hobbes in the woods in the “Yukon Ho!” storyline.
Without fail with posts like these, the recent history of the poster contains someone lightly critizing a hot take of theirs. Let’s see if the pattern holds this time…

Worse - agreeing with him, or saying it makes them like him better. It seems like an awful mix of edgelords and actual racists.
I read a few of those replies… holy crap Twitter sucks

antler@feddit.onlineto Canada@lemmy.ca•Canada finally reveals the results of its universal basic income experimentEnglish2·16 days agoUnless I’ve misunderstood, what OP proposed is just increasing the tax rate of the existing system.
A progressive tax doesn’t result in earning less for working harder; it’s only the marginal income that’s taxed at the higher rate. So a worker who goes from making $50,000 to $60,0000 only pays 15% tax on $10,000 and has a net take home increase of $8,500.

I would not have guessed that source of your name - after reading the Toynbee tiles Wikipedia page I would have guessed the historian, Bradbury story, or Clarke story.

I’m not sure if it was the surgery or some other factor, but ours started breastfeeding after having the procedure. The post-surgery “exercises” were the worst though - basically massaging a newborn’s recently separated skin twice a day was not pleasant for anyone.

Here in the US, high strength (95%) ethanol is widely available. We would occasionally do shots of it when I was (much) younger.
