Swiss startup believes this forgotten element is the key to safe nuclear energy

Nuclear energy is making a comeback. However, Swiss startup Transmutex wants to reinvent nuclear energy using a lesser-known element called thorium. In a conventionalnuclear power plant, heat is produced when neutrons collide with a fissionable material like uranium. 40% off TNW Conference!

"A Good Old Fashioned Ass Whooping" Is The Perfect Description Of What Happened Between The Celtics And Clippers

A good example of this is to just look at what the Celts have done since January 11th. On that night, we saw them get completely stomped on the road in MIL. A beatdown so bad Joe pulled the plug at halftime. Couldn’t make a shot, couldn’t get a stop, it was a bloodbath. It also was a result that didn’t really bother you given the context around it. On January 27th, the Celtics once again got their ass kicked....

After Another Blowout Win, It's Starting To Feel Like The Celtics May Have Finally Solved Their Miami Heat Problem

The Celtics have won 5 of them. Let me just ask you this. Have you said to yourself, “Damn, the Celts are struggling against the Heat zone again?” Brad had one goal this summer, and that was to eliminate the threat of teams just like MIA. That may have been then, but this is now. No, nothing we see from October to April will guarantee anything come the Spring. That’s not really what this is about and anyone who suggests otherwise is full of shit....

Bill Belichick Not Having a Job in 2024 is Proof We're in a Simulation

A slightly different explanation comes from 19th century physicist Ludwig Boltzmann. The so-called Boltzmann Brain. And we are nothing but a figment of that brain’s imagination. Personally, I’m not buying any of this. My much more plausible explanation is that all of creation was created by a Creator. And it’s unfolding according to His design. The Seahawks and Commanders stand as the last two openings. … Belichick … interviewed twice with the Falcons, but has received no other interview requests....

When Will The Blackhawks Be Good Again?

Mrazek earned a contract. Other than Bedard and Vlasic, I’d say Mrazek has been the best player on the team. I like that the Blackhawks re-signed him, Foligno, and Dickinson. One of those being a true generational star in Bedard, and another top 5 pick coming this year. Eventually it’s crucial that you build a culture for these prospects to walk into. That’s part of the rebuild. It’s part of the development process....

Who The Fuck Is "Ohio's Tate" And Why Is He Calling Me Lazy?

Kevin decided he wanted to jump ship 5 days later, our takeover now starting abruptly on January 10th. Because I’m the one who took initiative, I’m of course being penalized.

Hearing His Old Teammates Talk About Jerod Mayo Explains Everything About How He Became Head Coach So Fast

It’s only a slight exaggeration to call Mayo’s rise meteoric. It certain is by NFL standards. Even if the league is trending more towards younger guys and former players as head coaches. Or because the Krafts carelessly and irresponsibly committed to him last year and painted themselves into a corner. Like I’ve said before, I’m going into semi-retirement when it comes to blind, unwavering optimism. Because it hasn’t paid off in such a long time and I’m worn out from being wrong....
