This one is worth bookmarking and sharing. And a new reference for the next rounds on these topics, here.

If you’re attracted to intelligent women, it doesn’t hurt that she’s a cutie pie. Has sense of humor. Adorable accent, too. 🙂 🙂

A few threats here, a little intimidation there, throw several hundred in jail without a trial (habeus corpus WHAT DAT?), get in a few suicides…and…VOILA!

…And while we’re at it, why don’t we fool around with the numbers…. (No one will ever find out!….)

The past few days I’ve watched a bunch more and appreciate her more.

She does her great YouTube shtick of interesting bits on physics, but she’s a sly fox. There is also a big message to the scientific community to be more honest and less speculative.

In the video below she explains a standard ploy from the nuclear fusion scientists to magnify their Q results with regard to energy-out divided by energy-in. (Hint: we’re looking for Q’s > 1.)

The trick is to focus on the energy exchange strictly at the plasma stage — never mind the overall result, which determines whether a power plant provides more power than it consumes.

If that’s not clear, I don’t blame you and I won’t belabor the point.

However, my point is I’m a fan of nuclear fusion and I’d thought they were somewhat close to a real, profitable fusion reactor. But they’ve been doing this song-and-dance for a long time.

H/T to physicsguy for his recc on Sabine.

SHIREHOME,

They’re counting on some idiot acting to free them out of misplaced ‘compassion’. Instead of allowing them to experience the consequences of their actions.

Because you’re being treated to a Master Class in how an ostensibly conservative party can squander an historic landslide election. Watch and learn. Or learn nothing. Your choice.”
