It shouldn’t; the USB wall plug will provide 5 V which powers the dongle, but it’ll just be idle since there’s no computer communicating with it over USB.

Proof of stability!

See ya next year!

Dammit, my best just wasn’t enough.

“security concerns” with the data collected by the vehicles… The same data every car company in the US is already collecting. If that’s what you’re concerned about, just pass a law banning that sort of data collection… Oh yeah, you meant Ford shareholder security.

Well, Actually:

Yes, the result of the Mend Buttcrack spell would be an acquired anorectal malformation, for which there are several surgical repairs. I don’t think those account for loose angry wizards though, so long-term effects may be uncertain.

hey, I’m still left with $10,000, I’ll take it…

The lock stealers beat them to the punch!

Fair enough!

Yeah Mr. President I’m building an even bigger wind farm though, it’ll be a bazillion turbines and power half the US.

I’ll even cancel for only $500M, what a bargain!

I feel like they could have worded it better, I was trying to figure that out as well.

“yeah I’m just figuring out the vortex formation in the sinus of Valsalva”

yeah yeah, get back to painting, ninja turtle

Mr. Worldwide

The “Cocaine ____” franchise really dies after the fifteenth movie, Cocaine Shrew. They’re really scraping the bottom of the barrel for animals to drug up!

There’s a few things (I am an engineer, though not nuclear):

1. Efficiencies don’t necessarily stack like that. For boiling water you’re dependent on kinetic energy as heat. I’m not familiar with running plasma through magnetic fields for power generation, but if you lose thermal energy, your overall efficiency may be worse.
2. In power generation, reliability is obviously extremely important, and the nuclear industry is highly risk-averse. So doing something in a known, tested way is preferable. Any downtime is extremely expensive if things break, since it may be gigawatts of power you’re not selling.
3. Big magnets and handling highly energetic plasma are both really expensive. Steam turbines and generators have existing supply chains since we use them everywhere. I think cost is a big part, since the people building power plants want to make their money back sooner, so may not want to pay millions to billions more for a few percent efficiency gain.

False, monorails are a form of public transit which is inherently COMMUNIST and must be eliminated (except for spectacle, we have them in Las Vegas and Disney)
