Doesn't experience points based progress imply grinding?

There are more ways to have progression and I agree that exp points is a lazy (or pay2win) solution.

I'm not arguing with any of these points and not if it can be done or that it might be less draining on the environment. The reality is that it's not there and any current project can't use them. It's either uranium reactors, wind, solar or hydro (maybe also tides?)

And, like I said, it's normal that these types of projects are more viable in China with laxer safety and no political roadblocks.

We should halt current efforts with the promise of some better alternative in the future. If currently the cheapest and easiest is solar, we should do that. When newer nuclear reactors price themselves, it can change.

But a promise that newer nuclear reactors might be cheaper and safer is no argument for building a current generation nuclear reactor.

Are there even any commercial thorium reactors in use?

As solar and wind are already more economical and less of a financial risk than uranium reactors, I don't see anyone from western countries, with strict safety concerns then china, investing in newer nuclear technologies. Maybe when every office building and industrial complex has solar panels on its roof, there might be renewed interest.

Maybe waiting for the pane to go down while it's out of range of any possible radar? It seems to be in the middle of the ocean and maybe that was where he planned to more or less run out of fuel 🤷‍♂️

Maybe it could also have been the first officer if he prepared really well? There seems to be a lot of evidence confirming a well planned route with all communication disabled.

Anyway, it clearly looks like it is a suicide that he tried to mask as an accident. It's the worst way to go, taking all these casualties. It wouldn't be the first one, but definitely the best covered up so far.

For the cold I often leave with light gloves and a jacket but often take off the jacket halfway when you get warm of the exercise

For the rain you have plastic pants and poncho to put over your clothes.

A lot of companies also have showers so you can just wear sports clothes that dry fast and take a shower and put on decent clothes. Combining fitness and your commute.

About D, you could also be programming robots, PLC's or thermostats 🤷‍♂️

Small PHEV's would be ideal for the current generation. Battery advances will come, but we should always try to optimize with the current technology and 10 cars with a 10th the battery of a Tesla would be better for the future.

No, the html file itself. It just contains elements like a paragraph, image, list, table,... just like a word document.

A word document can also contain a script, as can html pages. It's why I thought these two were the closest match. Nobody is going to call those programming languages.

A PowerPoint, word document or even a text file or picture. There is only a description in the file of what it holds and it's up to the program that reads it, how it will visualize or interpret it.

A word document or PDF would be the closest.
