I can't shake that this would have felt like magic 5 years ago, but now it's so casual and not even that impressive. My mind is like "cool, now what?". I guess cars aren't that complicated.
They'll tell you.
I discovered that I could use VBA from Word to shell out to cmd bypassing all of the security. This opened a world of possibilities...
This being the era of AOL punters I created a neat VBA utility in a Word doc to that used netsend to spam other computers in the school. Shared the file widely.
Then I used the technique to explore the network... eventually was able to use net use to connect to a remote drive in the school administrator's office where I found a text file of every student birthday, home address, and SSN... which I then could use to sign into anyone's account (password was derivative of name and SSN).
Culminated with pwning a school rival by putting all his files in a password protected zip on the desktop and dropping a batch file in his startup folder that printed a text file with the password to the printer when he logged in.
There are a lot of reasons we predominantly use solid fuel light water reactors, most of them being the decades of sunk costs + commitment inertia that was created by the government investment in the technology... because it was good for the military (submarines, maybe bombs).

There are some companies trying to address this like Flibe Energy, who is working on LFTR designs (https://flibe-energy.com/) and Terrapower with TWR (http://terrapower.com), of which Bill Gates is Chairman of the board.
Nuclear could be great. We need massive investment in these alternative technologies.
Imagine having to get a visa to go to a home you own?
Advice: set up cloudflare for caching / cdn, it is free.
You need to find a new job.
There are other companies (FLIBE, Lightbridge) researching LFTR MSR that have promise. Just because some grad students made ridiculous claims, it shouldn't throw shade on the whole industry.
Most of the value they provide can be replaced by (or already is) technology. The only thing keeping them afloat is regulation.
If you throw out small island nations your trend lines will probably be a lot more accurate.
I feel like Snapchat sees the writing on the wall, and this is their chance for everyone to cash out.
