Russia and Belarus make sense, but not inviting Iran? There are far worse governments out there than Iran…

You gotta watch out for those Lifeguards with Lugers.

You can safely swim in the pool of an operational reactor, the ocean near Fukushima is perfectly safe.

Wow, you simply stated your own experience, and you get almost as many downvotes as upvotes.

Lemmy is quickly becoming as toxic as reddit.

Fantastic. Tremendous. This pile, and I have to say I have seen many piles, this pile, of shit, is the greatest pile of shit, that anyone has ever seen. Period. Do you think crooked Hillary has a pile like this. No. Only me.

And Trump lands the quinella, being indicted for a 4th time:

Italy wouldn’t want to start that conversation - the city of Rome has more Egyptian obelisks than Egypt.

If you have other Apple devices, so you can make use of features like AirPlay, the Apple TV is a no-brainer.

It’s not generating content though - 4 copies of a link is the same content as 1 copy of the link. And because it’s in 4 places, the comment section of each is diluted.

Facebook tried this in Australia, but backed down after a week, and now pay a significant amount to news organisations.

Google and Facebook aren’t going to cut themselves out of such a big slice of interaction, they’re just throwing a tantrum and hoping the government caves.

I literally studied this exact nuclear design at University - the Westinghouse AP1000. You can look up the WNISR (World Nuclear Industry Status Report) if you don’t want to take my word for it.

Don’t forget, mining and enriching uranium still has a significant carbon footprint, far higher per tonne than any fossil fuel. Yes, it’s lower over time, but we need to be reducing emissions now, not in 50 years time.

Sure. But do you think Nuclear reactors will still be cheaper than renewables + storage in the 2070s? Nuclear is far more expensive per kWh than renewables, and the cost of storage is falling fast.

Ah, i remember studying the Westinghouse AP1000 reactor design when I was at Uni. It had just been approved, and numerous plants were expected, with the first expected to be online from around 2010.

It’s 2023, and this is the first one to go live in the US.

The reduced operating emissions take 10+ years to outweigh the enormous construction emissions of nuclear. (Compared to gas.)

Season 1 leans into the comedy angle, Season 2 onwards is basically TNG. Seriously, its better than Discovery and Picard.

The 38 OECD economies are all capitalist. Only 1 lacks universal healthcare.

This is demonstrably false. If you get a brand new Tesla and charge it to 100%, the range on the screen will be the EPA range. That’s not a “rosy” prediction, that’s the prediction that companies must legally use in their sales material in the US.

Also, the BI article says this was 10 years ago, but the Reuters article opens talking about the Model 3, which was only released 5 years ago. But it’s coming from an unnamed source who claims it was a decade ago - not exactly reliable.

Tesla don’t get to decide how they rate their mileage - they have to follow the EPA testing procedure. If they use any figure other than the EPA figure, they’ll be breaking the law.

The fact that the EPA testing procedure doesn’t match real-world conditions is the problem. And it’s not one Tesla can solve.

You can’t be sociopathic and psychopathic - they’re different points on the same (ASPD) spectrum. Please learn what words mean before throwing them around.

They definitely use incandescent globes for heating as well. I just remember when I had fish, the shops would advertise neon heat lamps for terrariums. (I think it might have had something to do with infrared heating, but I’ve never had a terrarium so I’m kinda guessing now.)
