Military forces never had any problem running extra reactors to acquire their material.

Or renewables. I remind you that nuclear power is completely economically unviable today because it is the single most expensive way to generate power. Even with Trump rolling back safety regulations, it's still too expensive when solar panels are 10 cents per watt, nuclear is 50, and the amount of backup storage to offset the unreliability does not bridge that gap.

Why is "Zionism is racism" insanity? Based on the definitions of those words it's a simple true statement, no? And our political system is insane if simple true statements send it over the edge.

The US prints the world reserve currency. It can easily, and does hugely, export its inflation to other countries like the ones in Europe.

It's extremely common that when a right wing government transitions to a left wing government, the left wing government notices it has insane unpayable debt and tries a bunch of desperate things to repay it.
Mamdani had the same problem but was luckily able to negotiate practicable payment plans on NYC's debt.
Also I believe it's much easier to solve well intentioned stupidity than to solve malice.

Couldn't they just admit the problem with capitalism is that you run out of other people's money, and then stop giving all the money to billionaires, and then there'd be enough money? The french government is who decided the french government has to pay all that money, they can just decide differently.

Laffer curve is about percentages (and also irrelevant below 80-90% and irrelevant if you think government shouldn't be a business). Taxing people with zero money millions of dollars isn't even on the curve, it's just a completely separate bad thing.

The company that made the printer paid a marketing agency to promote it, and the marketing agency posted it here. Where are the spam filters?

This is just a naked product advertisement. You literally just posted a link to a product and implied to buy it. I flagged this post.

Actually a lot of them do get sold. Rates range from about $0.10/GB (the middleman takes double that if course) for a program running on your computer, to $200/month for a dedicated extra connection installed at your house.

For me, the most interesting thing about Forth is it's "thin-ness". Getting from machine code to a Forth REPL can take about 4 kilobytes.

Those people are only getting good jobs because other people are getting worse jobs. It's like the law of conservation of entropy: the inside of your fridge only gets cold because the back of your fridge gets warmer than the inside gets cold.
