I blame the news

be specific, blame Fox, OAN and Newsmax. NPR isn't pulling this woke bullshit.

Yup. You'll find men named Leslie, Skylar and Parker, but I've never, ever heard of a single male Beryl.

I dont see how anyone would see blockchain in itself as useless.

it's chewing through tremendous amounts of power and water to improve....? what?

I have yet to see the upside.

I find it hilarious that these sickos suddenly support marx when he endorses their fetishes.

If Marx saw bump stocks cmags and all the other idiotic bullshit they use to murder children and innocents he'd call gun fetishists assholes and reassess.

Why doesn’t anyone call him out on lying about running for a second term?

Trumps replies seldom had any connection to the thread/question posed by moderator. he was simply waiting for his turn to ramble a gish gallop out.

from the hill article:

So Biden never explicitly made a one-term promise during the campaign

ok. Look I'm not trying to pick a fight, I just never heard biden say that and wondered what I'd missed. The Hill article goes on to state:

but he certainly implied it with the language of “transition.”

yeeaah, uh, I'm going to vote for him because < HAHA FUCKING HELLSCAPE PROJECT 2025 > either way

clean... so many storage pools full of spent fuel, no home for them in sight... hundreds of pools, spread all over the US....

clean?

I mean cleaner than coal, sure. but it's enormous infrastructure and regulatory hurdles aren't worth it.

mojofrododojo , vor 13 Tagen

this is ridiculous. when a windmill cumples or a solar panel gets hit by hail, they don't poison the region.

Pripyat and Fukushima don't happen with windmills and solar cells.

Such a patently stupid argument.

mojofrododojo , vor 13 Tagen

we tried to, then the state we were gonna stick it all in said "eh maybe we don't want to the country's home for spent fuel, considering how it will stay hot for tens of thousands of years.

so our solution was to just... ignore it. store it in cooling pools at every plant spread all over the country. because hundreds of different waste holding ponds are SURE to be better than the thing we were planning lol.

Nuclear waste is a solved problem

maybe solved where you live, and only for as long as your containment facility stays in one piece.

earthquakes, meteors, tidal waves - these things do happen, sure, not often on a lifetime scale, but compared to the long half-lives of this stuff? plenty of time for the worst case scenario.

I think you pretend the problem is simpler than it actually is, when considered the time frames involved. It's not your lifetime we're talking, it's the hundreds of generations where this shit remains hot.

AND I'd add your country is at least trying, in the US we've given up and store it in pools local to the reactors, it's ignorant as fuck

This argument would make sense if the aircraft, when they crashed, left radioactive debris with hundreds of years of threat.

Thank fuck we don't let the nuclear industry make aircraft.

Otherwise your premise disregards the long life of the threat involved.

lolol

why bother investing enormous amounts of money into a tech that's already problematic? when there are better solutions at hand?

I'm not anti-nuclear, I just think further investment into it is misguided when there are so many other options that don't create tens of thousands of years of radioisotopes that have to go somewhere.

good on Scandinavia, the rest of the world isn't in such privileged positions. As seen in Fukushima. As seen in the hundreds of cooling ponds all over the US.

mojofrododojo , vor 13 Tagen

yep, they're awesome, and may sidestep some of the HUGE investments in gigantic infrastructure - one day. What you conveniently leave out is no one is doing this yet at scale; china's got one test reactor going last time I looked.

I personally love the idea, but the nuclear industry here in the US is obsessed with large steam turbine setups in the multiple megawatt scale; even small modular reactors are getting side eyes.

So yeah, it exists, but it's not going to displace the current tech (which is really 60's tech with better electronics).

mojofrododojo , vor 13 Tagen

there’s literally centuries for us to figure out a way to make those waste useful for us.

yes, I'm sure we'll hop on fixing this enormous issue with all the same urgency we've treated it with so far...

mojofrododojo , vor 13 Tagen

yeah, I get it, you're whole hog on it, the enthusiasm comes through loud and clear.

I don't agree, but there's no amount of sense that's going to sway the already decided.

mojofrododojo , vor 13 Tagen

nothing, not a single thing you've argued, will in any way reduce the radioactive leftovers nuclear reactors produce and most of the world is putting off for the next generation to fix.

Like climate change.

How many crises do you think those poor kids are going to be able to manage at once?

The ammount of radioactive waste is tiny relative to normal dumps, and as described before, it is easy to deal with, dig a deep hole, put the waste in it, refill it.

Boom problem solved.

I wish it were that simple. Meanwhile, in reality:

THE WORLD IS NOT FINLAND.

Unless you're volunteering to take the world's radioactive waste, stop thinking the world is finland, jfc you're worse than an american

And yeah, storage pools WORLDWIDE are being used as defacto permanent storage. That's what you call it when you have no plan to move the shit.

gonna block you now, you're either too dense to realize there's a whole world outside your tiny country, or deliberately obtuse.

interpretive grunting / prayer (In some regions known as seis de mayo) - I'm afraid this requires judges at the ready, so may not be practical.

what other empirical measurements could offer meaningful opportunities for competition?

You have no idea how good you have it. Spent a substantial amount of time in my youth moving from one side of the country to the other. We had books, when we had enough light. And whatever radio mom/dad wanted to listen to. And chainsmoking parents who wouldn't open the windows.

No phones, no smart phones, no gameboys, just miles and miles of reading (thank god I don't get carsick and love books) or, when you couldn't because of lack of sunlight, you just did nothing. I would have murdered someone for a laptop with games, movies etc., not even online.

And the rest areas were still closed lol.

yep. Missouri too. You know it's a big town when it's got a grain elevator and a rail. Not quite as absurdly flat as Kansas.

I still prefer Kansas tho, missouri is a real shit hole.

I mean, there's billionaires and there are asshole billionaires... I don't give two flying fucks about pop music, but she treated her people pretty well (originally read about this from a trucker friend) - https://www.forbes.com/sites/kellyphillipserb/2023/08/04/taylor-swift-says-thank-you-to-eras-tour-workers-by-handing-out-checks/?sh=1011ea6470f6

so while I'd prefer no or fewer billionaires, I'd really prefer rich people who treated their entire ecosystems well over the current hellscape.

oh and TAX THE RICH. If they can stay billionaires by building new industries and competing for great workers by negotiating in good faith with union labor, that's fine.

Trader joe, SpaceX/Tesla Amazon and a bunch of other fucks are trying to destroy the entire NRLB, because they hate unions and think they can get away with it. FUCK THEM.
