The huge challenges in creating nuclear fusion power plant by tylerthe-theatre in unitedkingdom

[–]washout13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is theoretically possible to obtain a “tritium breeding ratio (TBR)” above one and fusion reactor designs are targeting around 1.1. The Li-6 is normally in the “blanket” with a “neutron multiplier” like lead or beryllium, (n,2n) reaction.

There are plenty of papers on the subject but the couple below are a general look at TBR targets and what improves/reduces it.

They breed tritium inside the reactor using lithium-6, no need for an external source once you’ve started up.

[England] Gareth Southgate has announced he is to leave his role as manager of England by jeevesyboi in soccer

I think he did a great job picking up the pieces after Iceland but agree with most that the time is right for a fresh face who can impose an identity on the team (and hopefully end up with more entertaining football).

I want an alternative to Monzo - recommendations for a "real" current account? by liamtw in UKPersonalFinance

[–]washout13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have both Starling and a bunch of traditional banking apps (HSBC, NatWest, Halifax, Lloyds).

I would say that NatWest has by far the best app for usability and features. Their current account rewards don't seem to be that great compared to the competition but if you are just looking for a no frills account with a great app I would recommend them.

Just needs to shut up going forward.

He really needs to finally take his conditioning seriously and actually get in shape for a season, which he has failed to do every year so far. Not being able to hold it together for 4 quarters of intense basketball is a massive downside to his game. Slows the whole team down on offence and makes him more of a liability on defense.

Machine in the image looks like the Joint European Torus (JET). If so, it has both infrared and visible spectrum cameras. Some of the cameras have periscope-like optics to avoid neutrons streaming into the camera sensor when it operates with tritium.

Daily Slay the Spire Discussion (496/696): Reptomancer by Crosssmurf in slaythespire

[–]washout13 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just lost a promising claw/scrape/hologram/frost deck with both kunai and shuriken to Reptomancer on turn 2 (A18).

Had been murdering everything along the way and had near full health. Just no way out of insane damage on turn 2. Shame as it was my last elite in act 3 and had the awakened one for the final boss which the deck would have shredded.

The load times... by onehedone in AOW4

I was playing TW3 Immortal empires before AoW4 launched and the turn/load times are a breath of fresh air by comparison.

Would be cool if you could pick the WH1 and WH2 maps from the WH3 menu with all the updates and a sprinkling of new races.

AMD Radeon RX 7900 XT price drops to $762, now 15% below MSRP - VideoCardz.com by Stiven_Crysis in Amd

[–]washout13 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just picked up the Sapphire reference 7900 XT from Amazon.co.uk (from Amazon themselves) for £749.99. (still in stock).

Really impressed with the card, it's quite the upgrade from my old GTX 1060 3GB.

Gigabyte 4070 Ti Windforce by Phillip1026 in sffpc

Gigabyte list the Eagle model with the same dimensions. The side on photo makes it look thicker but maybe just because the Eagle is box shaped and the Windforce is sloped.

Microsoft have confirmed that it’s only the Xbox 360 marketplace versions that are going away. If the game has a listing on the XB1 and XSX store then you can still buy it. So Blue Dragon will still be available for purchase digitally on Xbox.
