  • I am not trying to be condescending but I would very much like to know where you got your facts and figures from.

  • I don't even know how to argue with that viewpoint. Are they denying that we have small modular reactors what? It's a technology that's been employed since the '50s. I literally have a link at the top of the post.

  • I'm not certain what you mean by that but if you are asking how small they would be and where they would be placed the normal recommendation would be you would want a warehouse sized facility with an Olympic sized swimming pool to submerse a standard container sized reactor. You would probably house one to three reactors per facility. You would probably want an exclusion zone of 1 mi. Minimum. Depending on the model a single reactor would be able to power roughly 50,000 to 100,000 homes. Ideally you would build one of these 20 miles from a city. Plug in the SMRs and after 15 to 20 years unplug them and replace with newer models ship them off to a long-term storage facility and eventually process them for fuel once a we have functional thorium salt reactors at scale.

  • We could shut down every coal fired plant and replace the coal fired apparatus with a modern reactor and keep the current steam turbine facility in place. But tell me more about how keeping Cole burning and spewing radioactive nuclei into the atmosphere as preferable than hypothetical meltdown situations.

  • Did you read my comment or did you just derp

  • Imagine taking the time to have a nuanced opinion and actually read what I wrote. Small modular reactors are not RBMK unhoused unshielded reactors....

    Furthermore that power plant is still operational. The major issue with that area is long-term exposure but only if you disturb the ground you should ask the Russians that invaded Ukraine about that.

  • Technically yes, people keep dieing on the windmills.

    This is not me saying we need to build less solar or wind. We still need to build more and we also need small modular reactors to provide base load. If we had the battery capacity to store renewables at scale I would be for it however we do not.

  • Install Atlas OS to the old machine and prosper. Atlas is a stripped down Window based OS. Itruns really well on decade old hardware

    Or you know buy a $2,000 piece of s*** you'll throw away in a few years anyways your money

    Don't be wasteful reduce reuse recycle. They have perfectly viable hardware they just need a better OS on it

  • I haven't been on Reddit since RIF stopped working. I was on Reddit for more than 10 years

  • It's the United States of America as in there are many states united in a union and that union resides in (N) America. Blame the Italian guy who drew the map in the 1600s and stuck his name on two separate continents. I mean he could have named one of them Amerigo and one Vaspucci. Furthermore I have almost always announced myself as a Virginian to bewildered stares. Perchance maybe you all should learn that each one of our states is technically its own country. I doubt many French people have to explain that France is in Europe as I have to Explain that Virginia is the First of the 13 original East Coast Colonies the British Settled on the North American Coantinent and still be met with bewilderment.

  • I have been banned from ask Reddit for almost 8 years people are stupid. The thread was a thread asking for insults and definitions of those insults. Somebody called somebody else a thot among other slang terms. The person it was directed to did not understand and asked for clarification. I transcribed the sentence into English vernacular. The guy who said the f***** up s*** never got in trouble but somebody reported my comment and then a thoughtless admin read it and I've been banned for 8 years.

  • You are literally the definition of an aneurysm. Also for somebody who's so intent to be offended please learn the meaning of words. I'm a dude she's a dude he's a dude we're all dudes you ingrate.

  • With the power of shit post I have like 70 subs over the last year with a few videos. I never ask for subs.

  • I also work for a WH. Yeah most idiots don't do basic maintenance which is why I just rename the dir as xxx.old make a new folder install core and then delete the blank wp-content an copy over the wp-content DB and wp-config.php from the borked install. Takes 10 min rather than 30 to update and fix. I call that the "Doctor Frankenstein" method
