I’m still surprised they didn’t find any. Not that I think Saddam actually had them, but I thought they’d find them anyway.
There are ways of dealing with this, but they’re far less ideal than simply having big spinning turbines with large mass and inertia - even if the voltage or frequency of the system changes, the turbine still spins.
Spending more than 40 billion pounds over one and a half decades to build two energy storage flywheels that also produces radioactive waste is probably the most absurd undertaking conceivable to man.
When one type of generation is suffering for whatever reason, the other types can pick up the slack.
But nuclear can’t pick up the slack quickly enough, that’s the problem.
It’s much more expensive when considering lifetime costs, uranium will run out eventually, and because it can’t react quickly to changing demand it meshes horribly with renewables. If we can build an excess of renewables and pair them with storage solutions, what do we need nuclear for?
While tech bros will not shut up about how theoretical nuclear energy™ is the future, actual nuclear energy is so much worse than renewables it’s almost comical.
They’ll be basquing in fame.
Imagine how cheap it could’ve been if we started 50 years ago.
This. Google is losing the fight against SEO (and now AI), they’re not intentionally giving you bad search results. Bing, DDG, etc. are all facing the same struggles.
We’re talking about glioblastoma here, there’s not much “continous” treatment to be had and temozolomide’s and bevacizumab’s patents have run out (edit: also bevacizumab doesn’t prolong overall survival at all and temozolomide is ineffective in MGMT-positive patients, i.e. about half).
That said, I’m not sure why the other commenter is so dismissive of your idea. There’s plenty of drugs that have been kept in the cupboard (e.g. desloratadine) or not seeking approval for certain illnesses so a “new”, more expensive drug could be sold (e.g. no rituximab trials for multiple sclerosis so Roche could sell Ocrelizumab, no Bevacizumab trials for macular degeneration so they could sell Ranibizumab) – and certainly many more that we never heard about.

What are the dangers of protecting fish populations, the environment and parks?
In later trials, drugs aren’t compared against placebo, but a standard therapy regimen.

If someone hires a former Facebook employee to work on their social network, is that patent infringement?
No. If that employee then implements features that FB has patented? Probably yes.
Europe very sound protection for the disabled. Putside of historical buildings built before disability care you won’t find better access anywhere.
But that’s the point: Most buildings were built before disability care, and haven’t been upgraded.* Think about your favorite restaurant, bar, kebab place, corner shop etc. – I don’t think any of mine are wheelchair accessible. Also good luck taking a train in Germany, where many platforms aren’t wheelchair accessible and they might or might not have a lift to get you into the train.
The Americans with Disabilites Act (ADA) is miles ahead of any legal framework that I’m aware of in Europe. The US is a broken country in many ways, but that doesn’t mean that literally anything and everything has to be worse than in glorious Europe.
*The former is true for the US too, but the ADA still required many of them to make reasonable accomodations.
Mickey Moses spent 40 days and 40 nights on a steam boat until they finally found land.
That’s a good metaphor! I’m not sure about the rock though, throwing a rock into a complicated machine doesn’t seem like the best idea. I’d consider replacing it with oil, where it needs to cover the gears at the top first before it can drip down.
I know it’s a pain, but what’s to stop us from using download-clis?
The answer is right there.
But you compared it to other planes, not to cars. Please leave the goal posts were they are.
“Analog” has been used to say “the older, pre-computer version” since for decades now. It’s fine.
