I think my first Bethesda game was Skyrim and I love Skyrim. I’ve played through Skyrim when it first came out I played through it again in the DLC came out. I played through it again on the switch I have since played through it again on PC. I love Skyrim. I played it so many times and I know it’s a meme to keep re-releasing...
One thing I found interesting about the Fallout TV show is how under-gunned the protagonist is. She’s not even armed at all most of the time (which, frankly, seems almost less realistic than toting around an entire arsenal the way you can in the game).
Maybe OP would get into the game and its story more if he went for a gameplay style that emphasized hacking or diplomacy or other stuff other than combat.
We just don’t know whether it was incompetence or pro-Nazi signaling
Yes we do. It is never, ever mere incompetence. Quit giving traitor scum who want to destroy American democracy the benefit of the doubt, not only because they don’t deserve it, but because in doing so you are helping them win.
Acknowledging reality is not “becom[ing] a party messaging bot.” Treating this existential threat as if it were some sort of team sports bullshit is beyond privileged; it’s downright delusional.

“I just wanna debate this guy, but you know– and I’m gonna demand a drug test too, by the way,” Trump said as the audience cheered. “I am. No, I really am. I don’t want him coming in like the State of the Union. He was high as a kite.”
It’s why Larry Ellison bought the vast majority of Lāna’i, and Zuckerberg bought a chunk of the rest. An 8+ mile moat to the rest of Hawai’i, let alone the mainland US.
Gov. Abbott is definitely teaching the lesson that anyone who tries to drive into protestors should immediately be shot and killed, because all attempting to deescalate does is get more protestors murdered with no recourse.
and the right to carry arms, which they need to do.
The victim was doing exactly that (he was open-carrying an AK-47), which is the pretext the murderer used to falsely claim “stand your ground.”
In retrospect, the tactically correct thing to do would’ve been for Foster to have preemptively shot Perry through the car window, citing the same “stand your ground” defense (with infinitely more legitimacy, since Perry had just been trying to run over protestors).
but the like 2-3 centrists in the Midwest who control our entire nation at this point due to the Electoral College system (and Dems refusal to do anything once elected) might be persuaded this way?
Those people are fictional, just a narrative neoliberals make up to try to excuse their abject refusal to let the Democrats move left to actually get more votes.

You pretty much had it right the first time. The Falklands would likely be used as a staging area, being the closest British or allied territory to the part of Antarctica in question.
You say that like someone who isn’t already an Atlantan intimidated into inaction by the persecution of Stop Cop City protestors, up to and including police murdering them.
Eh, as long as you designed it with a reasonable factor of safety (say, highest temperature ever recorded at that location +5C, maybe) it’d be fine. I think the cost is a far, far bigger issue because the radiator necessary would be absolutely gigantic. Plus if you’ve got fans cooling it (so you can make it smaller) instead of passively cooling it, that’s another point of failure, although I suppose if getting river water relies on pumps then it isn’t any worse.
The other issue is that in order to provide district heating you’ve got to put your power plant next to a city instead of in the middle of nowhere, like we prefer to do in the US (especially for nuclear).
