I'm really not a fan of shadows everywhere. They look a bit tacky. I've always liked flatter uis with maybe a VERY subtle shadow for navigation, but not shadows on every fuckin element

That's mobile first done badly. You can have a good desktop design while also looking good on mobile, you just have to care even the slightest bit

Depends on what the disagreement is. If the disagreement is purely due to two parties misunderstand each other as they're running on different definitions then it makes perfect sense. You can't have a discussion if you aren't discussing the same thing.

I meant to type "or" not "of."

bad incidents

Kyshtym was not a nuclear reactor and was also in the USSR.

Windscale had nobody be injured or die in the moment, but POSSIBLY a hundred due to long term radiation, though this is disputed.

Three Mile Island had zero injuries and zero deaths. The issues it had were entirely due to badly designed control panels and multiple human errors in succession, which has been addressed. Every single one of its safety systems worked perfectly as designed, but one stupid dude did the wrong things at the wrong times and fucked it up. Even then, again, it was an incredibly benign accident.

Church Rock isn't even a nuclear reactor.

Fukushima, again, was quite benign. Nobody died and (iirc) nobody was injured. Its safety systems worked exactly as designed and the only issue was bad placement and not being built to survive the possible tsunamis that it may face, which is easily resolved through the most basic of regulation.

Yeah, there's some cleanup in these, but in everything but Chernobyl the surrounding area is perfectly fine. If these are your "bad incidents" then I really wonder what you think of the thousands of people that are actively dying per year putting up and maintaining windmills.

Time and time again nuclear proves to be the safest form of energy production on every single metric.

Sometimes if you're going to have a conversation you need to agree on what a word means. If there's any ambiguity, I'm going to refer to the dictionary so we can continue our conversation, not whatever you or I decide a word means. The dictionary should be the common ground on which we speak when we disagree, because anything else is madness.

Here's a fantastic example: sentient, sapient, and concious. These are VERY different words with wildly different meanings, but they're practically treated as synonyms in colloquial usage. The only way to properly express them now is to use their entire definitions, and then people question why you're being so specific or excluding certain things.

If you didn't read it, fuck off and don't reply. I decided not to read your comment beyond that because you're an inconsiderate cuss.

Oh man one whole accident from obvious negligence which is easily resolved by the absolute most basic of regulation. Are you implying we're as bad as the USSR when it comes to basic safety? There have been hundreds of thousands of reactors going perfectly fine since then. Modern reactors can literally not fail in the same way that caused Chernobyl.

I haven't had issues

Police police police police police police police police

Milk is delicious though! I'm 27 and still plow through it, haha

Not to mention that in the hundred years of nuclear plants, 30 people have died in TOTAL. Coal mines have killed a hundred thousand in the US alone, and windmills kill a few thousand in the UK alone each year. Nuclear has only killed 30 people. In a hundred years. Fukishima didn't hurt a single person.

The amount of waste produced is extremely small for how much power you get, and is dealt with in exactly the same we we deal with literally all of our garbage: put it under ground and call it a day.

Wow two whole accidents in a hundred years? One of them didn't hurt a single person? The other only killed 30 people? Crazy! That's SO dangerous?

What...? Coal mining killed a hundred thousand people in the last century? In the US alone? Wind turbines kill a few dozen a year in just the UK alone?

You're getting downvoted, but there's some truth in it. You don't just build a dam, you flood thousands of square miles and destroy hundreds of microcosms. Species have gone extinct due to dams. Not to mention that you can literally never remove them, because stupid humans build cities at their feet.

And France is doing perfectly fine with it except for skimping on maintenance and also them coming up on their end-of-life without replacement

I go through just under a gallon a day between myself and four roommates

While this is absolutely correct, it should be noted that if you don't make enough in tips you're probably going to get fired and replaced, haha

That's the stupidest thing I've ever seen. I hate English.

You don't say 1.2 thousands, you say 1.2 thousand
