They will only come back with vengeance.

I thought they got rid of it because all the tainted lettuce getting people sick?

I feel this is not a fair assessment.

2 people did die, but not because of the balloons.

2 people were out on the lake and their boat sank, the balloons hampered the rescue efforts.

Before anyone gets any ideas that the balloons crushed someone or suffocated them.

I went 7900XTX instead of a 40XX Nvidia GPU and couldn’t have been happier. Not the cheapest thing on the market but yet to encounter something it can’t run to my standards.

Had a boss that refused to give me full time cause that would cost company more money, but would harass me if I ever called out. Would remind him that he refused to make me full time and didn’t give me a raise that year so I sure as hell wasn’t driving through a blizzard to come to work a night when I hadn’t been scheduled until 15 minutes before he called.

Should have used ALF. He liked cats because they were delicious.

Yeah this ain’t relatable at all. The only time ever spent a night in a hotel with a family member was when my dad chaperoned a school trip.

How are there more bronze medals than silver, and more gold medals than silver?

Sarcasm doesn’t come over well on the internet. You’re absolutely right that burning wood for power is stupid really the only thing we should be using for steam turbines is nuclear.

Tree grows. There for, can make more. There for, renewables. Big brain.

How in the world is a zero emissions engineering marvel dystopian?! You know what the long terms effects of cooling towers are? If feels more humid down wind!

Me who bought AMD cpu and gpu last year for my new rig cause fuck the massive mark up for marginal improvement on last gen stats.

I don’t see how your post refutes his? Russia is big, but it’s sparsely populated, especially anywhere east of Moscow until you get to Vladivostok. Countries other than Russia in their grid equally if not more so sparsely populated. Top that with disparities in Quality of Life between the two grids, and you find the larger one using less power because it’s services less clients who use less electricity.

Accounting for mining, construction, operation, decommission and disposal, nuclear has less emission that Solar.

The political problems are entirely artificial, fabricated by the fossil fuel competitors and have been soundly disproven.

Nuclear waste is no where near the problem people assume it is. A single plant doesn’t produce more than it can store onsite during it’s entire operation and 100% of all the waste can actually be recycled and ran through newer generation breeder reactors to ‘burn’ the radioactivity and render the resulting ‘waste’ safe as background radiation within a decade or so in a cooling pool. The only reason this isn’t already common practice is nuclear fuel is so abundant it’s not as profitable to do this, It’d be the equivalent of a coal power plant halting using coal for a few weeks so they could shovel in trash from a nearby landfill until it was empty. Less overall power output for less profit.

Enormously long when compared to those tiny hands.

I’m not against renewables but utilizing them as our main source of energy just is not practical for long term, there are serious ecological issues that have been sidelined because of global warming/climate change. Things like rooftop solar only become viable in low density housing, but low density housing is also not good use of land.

I don’t know to laugh or cry when I see peole quote the thousands of years waste storage of nuclear. That’s never been a thing, and never will be.

Land usage is what makes nuclear the most ecologically sound solution. Solar and wind play their part. But for every acre of land, nuclear tops the chart of power produced per year. And when you’re trying to sate the demand of high density housing and businesses in cities, energy density becomes important. Low carbon footprint is great for solar and wind but if you’re also displacing ecosytems that would otherwise be sucking up carbon, its not as environmentally friendly as we’d like.

If you calculate the cost of nuclear and include that you need to store the waste for thousands of years i

This hasn’t been true for decades.

High Level Nuclear waste, aka spent fuel, can be run through breeder reactors or other new gen types to drastically reduce their radioactive half-life to decades and theoretically years with designs proposed in the last few years. Only reason reactors don’t do this is lack of funding and demand for such things, the amount of high level waste produced is miniscule per year. And there are theories proposed already that could reduce ot further but nuclear phobia pushed by the oil lobby prevents proper funding and RnD to properly push those advancements to production.

Yeah it was billed as some Tom Cruise slock like it was some video game movie. Heavy on the cgi but pretty good far as near future sci-fi goes especially with time travel.
