Even if this were true this doesn't help with the very real issue that we can't build the nuclear capacity fast enough whereas renewable energy can be built fast, is already being built, and doesn't have that problem that needs wishful thinking for it's solution.

Yeah I'm not convinced that just burying the stuff deep in a hole will do what I think is responsible. That shit stays dangerous for multiple thousands of years. That's such a long timeframe that we cannot predict what's going to happen to our society. It is very realistic that we lose the knowledge of the location or even the dangerousness of that stuff. Imagine future people stumbling into this and actually getting something like a curse from an old pharao by weird invisible forces that make you sick.

Another thing about this is that locations that are "good" candidates for this kind of storage are extremely rare. Germany has been looking for a suitable place for the last few decades and didn't find any yet afaik. And the few places we might have are booked to be filled with all the old waste still sitting in intermediary storage.

Unless we have a reliable way of finding suitable storage places before we start producing more waste it will put us in the same situation we are in now, just worse.

That is true but that isn't a constructive way of arguing about what we should be doing now to benefit the future. You can have the right of saying "told you so" if you need it so badly. I don't really care. We need to solve this problem though and arguing about the chances nuclear could have had in the past is just distracting.

And the solution to that will not be nuclear power. Not in the near future because it takes too long to build and we need to cut CO2 now. And I'm also not convinced it's a good long-term strategy based on the other points I've mentioned.

If we could magically build reactors in time with the needed capacity to replace coal and gas (which it doesn't really btw starting and stopping nuclear plants takes way longer than necessary to react to demand changes) this would be a different discussion. But as it stands now it's just a distraction from what we need to do: build renewable energy sources.

Answering from a German perspective:

• Fuel isn't easy to source and will put us into a new dependency like gas did with russia. That's not desirable.
• Building a reactor takes a lot of time that we don't have right now. We need to build that capacity and we need to build it fast.
• Look at France and their shit show of new and old nuclear projects. The company building new reactors went insolvent because it's insanely expensive and last year they had to regularly power down the reactors because the rivers used for cooling got too hot
• There is still no valid strategy for securely containing the waste produced for the needed amount of time

The reason people don't answer to that bs anymore is because it has been discussed to death with no new arguments on either side.

I'm definitely seeing more comments in full support of Israels actions in Gaza

Well ackshually, any such system with a defined maximum precision can be represented by an integer unit that is small enough, the numbers will just get very big.

I'm playing "curse of the dead gods" right now. I wanted to scratch that hades itch while hades 2 is cooking. Pretty good, different, more random approach to the weapons system.

and a very invasive mechanic around lighting the rooms with a torch and immobile fireplaces. By default you get hit harder in the dark but there are also modifiers to give you benefits in the dark to change up the tradeoffs

I'm not sure I like it as much as Hades it's a bit clunky but I'd recommend getting it in a sale for sure

Well ackshually real-time describes a mode of processing data where you have hard requirements on when a computation needs to be finished.

Huh that might actually be an issue with your client, mine renders those as two dots

Hm it seems I misread the documentation there. I know why it doesn't resolve the ".." and that's fine, it just seemed very unnecessary in combination with my flawed understanding of the relative path handling.

Edit: and just to be snarky: I didn't type "..." I typed "..". ;)

That heavily depends on where you live though. The best answer to people objecting to that kind of work is the payroll. If you can support your family with whatever you're doing it's none of my business.

That's so not how onlyfans nor deciding to become a mother works, I don't even know how to respond to this

What exactly are the consequences relating to becoming a mother?

If you consider exposing massive rule breaking of intelligence services "fucking around" instead of suffering massive consequences for the benefit of basically everyone that uses the internet... Sure he fa&fo

It's been 7 Hours, you ok?

That apparently differs a lot for age groups. Seems like in younger cohorts it's more evenly distributed, but overall it's the males that are overrepresented

Time for one of the most interesting seasons of the bachelor

Sorry I'm not a native speaker I guess social program isn't quite the word I was looking for. It's more of a distribution of wealth thing, and distributing it more evenly is what I meant by social programs.

There is a clear correlation between individual wealth and criminal activity. The more poor people a society produces the more potential for crime exists. This is partially rooted in the fact that if you are poor and you don't see a perspective for a positive turnaround, jailtime suddenly loses its impact.

I think It's not like back in your youth there were way more police, more likely there are a lot more people disappointed and disillusioned by the system so they stopped caring.

I don't think just spending more money on police will fix that unless you employ enough police people to physically stop crime as it happens which isn't going to be economical at all. I think restoring people's faith in the system by improving the wealth distribution would be way more efficient.

I'm not in the USA but I want to live in society where most people choose to abide by the law out of respect for the rules that provide wealth to us all. Not out of fear. If you need fear to control a big portion of your population you are doing it wrong. (Of course you'll always need some police there will always be people that will not want to follow the laws but I'm talking about the general case)

Hellsing?
