- Comment on What do they do with aborted fetuses? 2 hours ago:
No. Not unless consent was granted. You can’t just use any human tissue without ethics approval and consent, it’s a criminal offense.
- Comment on What do they do with aborted fetuses? 2 hours ago:
A cell line derived from an aborted fetus in the late 80s is now the basis for most good cell biology and disease related research. It’s also the base line for synthesis of vaccines and biologic drugs. But, we are limited to this one line from one lab in Canada that has been commercialized by one company in California.
Huge waste of research potential to make the lives of all people better.

- Comment on Trump Administration Providing Weapons Grade Plutonium to Sam Altman 1 day ago:
Nobody is trying to build nuclear because it simply costs too much.
You have no idea what you are talking about.
China’s State Council has approved ten or more new reactors for construction each year since 2022.
Notable SMRs in China include: Linglong One (ACP100): This is the world’s first commercial, land-based SMR.
Status: The first unit is nearing completion at the Changjiang Nuclear Power Plant in Hainan province. Capacity: It has a capacity of 125 MWe.
Approval: In 2016, it was the first SMR design to pass an independent safety review by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).
HTR-PM: This is a high-temperature gas-cooled SMR. Status: A demonstration project at the Shidaowan plant in Shandong province began commercial operation in December 2023.
Capacity: It consists of twin 250 MW thermal reactors, generating 210 MWe. TMSR-LF1: China is also developing a Molten Salt Reactor (MSR). Status: A demonstration reactor with a 10 MWe capacity was under construction in late 2025.

For grid storage, Ambri has the cheapest possible molten salt battery. The company is struggling.
The MIT Prof who started this is Don Sadoway, he started this 13 years ago and no one gives a fuck in the US. Right idea, wrong country. The US grid is ruled by corruption and middle men reselling electricity -no one wants a cheaper solution.

TL:DR: Nuclear is expensive and slow to build and doesn’t adapt well to the variability of demand.
This is a decade outdated.

Not sure which country you live in, but Germany killed nuclear and skyrocketed coal and gas use, just to make some hippies happy.
Most new nuclear installations are SMRs. Currently at $250M but with scale will be half that in a decade.
- Comment on Trump Administration Providing Weapons Grade Plutonium to Sam Altman 1 day ago:
It’s cheaper but not consistent enough for practical use. You cannot have a grid where the voltage goes up and down randomly. Some small countries have this and you never know if you plug something in if it will work. AI farms suck gigawatts of electricity.

a bomb set off by Goldstein would help reinforce the government. I just saw this on the Fox Telescreen, superplusgood.

Meanwhile, if Iran made 1kg of plutonium, they would be carpet bombed.
Plutonium is only useful for bombs.

Sounds like…all these internet car reviewers are wankers because they never discuss reliability, they just count cup holders. I don’t give a fuck about how elegantly it is designed, will it break, and can it be fixed.
Australia’s conclusions about these EVs are yes, and no.
