The idea of a firmament is definitely a thing and has been for thousands of years. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firmament

I’ve heard about it all my life from mainstream Christian churches too. Though it’s more of a metaphorical thing than physical. Like it’s a supernatural reason why we can never get to Mars rather than being a glass dome.

The community is “malicious compliance”. It would only be a perfect fit for here if it were actually malicious compliance and not just a funny coincidence.

If you believe that there was any conversation like this at all, and it isn’t just some production line that places coupons at the same place on every box.

That’s got nothing to do with Microsoft though. Their reactor wouldn’t be used to power other people, only their own data centers.

They currently buy that from the grid, and they don’t really have any control over the source of that electricity generation. We should absolutely be pushing the power generators to go with renewables, but Microsoft isn’t a generator. They’re a customer like you or me.

They’re looking at moving to small reactors eventually because of the cost of buying from the grid, not for the environment.

You comment has one minor flaw.

Small modular reactors are a thing now. NuScale has already had their VOYGR SMR plants approved for use in the US. Westinghouse has one that should be ready for sale in the next few years too.

Large nuclear plants aren’t economical for profit generation right now, but SMRs definitely have the ability to be economical for huge power users like Microsoft.

Put one of those rare shots right in Putins brain housing group please.

Because that just limits people’s ability to find employment.

I’ve had jobs where I lived 10 minutes away, and took a different job with a further commute because it paid significantly more.

Should an employee have to up and move their house every time they change employers, or should employees be able to decide if a long commute is worth it to them based on the offer?

They would just not hire people that live two hours away.

Because the 12 and 13 minis didn’t sell for shit. That’s why.

There’s no point in keeping around a product line that nobody is buying.

Yeah Judy Garland was horribly abused. Physically, mentally, sexually, forced to take drugs to control her.

That’s even more than I thought she would have made though. That’s $11,000 a week adjusted for inflation.

Nothing compared to the $66,000 a week the others earned though.
