Rolls Royce (jet engines) is considering relocating manufacturing to the US or Germany (?!) because of the cost of energy in the UK and the total lack of support by the UK government. They have already moved compressor blade manufacturing to Singapore.

For the first time in the history of the European Union, 24 member states have jointly granted a war loan to a country outside the Union. This is not a technical detail but a qualitative shift. The logic of a loan is clear: whoever lends money wants it back. In this case, repayment is not tied to economic growth or stabilisation, but to military victory.

For this money to ever be recovered, Russia would have to be defeated. That is not the logic of peace but the logic of war. A war loan inevitably makes its financiers interested in the continuation and escalation of the conflict, because defeat would also mean a financial loss.

I wasn’t planning to comment on the death of MIT Professor #NunoLoureiro without looking closely at his research first & what I found is quite intriguing

👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼

Loureiro was director of the MIT Plasma Science & Fusion Center and Herman Feshbach Professor of Physics working on nuclear fusion to create a virtually unlimited clean energy source.

why his research represented an existential threat ??

understand that Loureiro specifically worked on understanding magnetized plasma dynamics magnetic reconnection plasma turbulence & confinement & transport mechanisms in fusion plasmas

his research directly helped inform the design of fusion devices capable of harnessing the energy of fusing plasmas bringing the dream of clean near limitless fusion...

A quick commentary on the "Piss Summit"
I might not be able to upload much more or do lives for a while

My Fellow Duranianss.

Yes, it's happened again. I have been assaulted by a vicious Malware Bot Virus or whatever 911 Socks is and this thing is bad ! 

However I wanted to give you a "peace" of my mind concerning the "Piece" or piss, as Elensky calls it, as this thing fell to pieces before it even happened.

Coincidentally on the very SAME DAY  this crap happened Saudi Arabia DROPPED the US Petrodollar as a buying currency and NO ONE absolutely NO ONE is talking about this fact anywhere !!!

 

Hope to see you all asap.
