It always smells like bloody sinus in our house after changing the wafer.

Thank you Junior. Don't forget to wear you shoes when you go play in the asbestos pit at school. I put two cigarettes in your lunchbox you can have one at lunch if your teacher says its okay and one on the way to home after your shift at the radium watch painting factory.

Never forget the future that was taken from us.

I diagree, at current tech/time energy storage is the problem with peaky production methods like wong and solar.

You need capacity and quick spinup capacity for when demand occurs off peak production. Nuclear is the only green option with current tech for large scale. Fuel cells would be ideal when powered with electrolyzed h2 created by excess solar generation capacity but the tech isn't there yet and we need something now.

Thermal energy storage and pumped hydro are both viable but spatially problimatic or expensive in the long term. IMO, micro grids with local solar as the source are where we should be going but local storage is an issue even where sun is abundant.

I just learned about the vpn thing a few days ago and its annoying.

Not a stretch at all given they killed public transit in a number of American cities.

All of that is true but there are entire genres of science fiction that people grew up on telling them that nuclear waste is scary green stuff that will do everything from melt your skin off to turn you into the toxic avenger. A major chunk of the population only knows about nuclear waste from that and doesn't care what experts say.

Modern nuclear facilities and storage devices ARE safe but when you bring it up, people will just go "Yeah but Fukushima/Chernobyl, happened, I don't want that to happen in my neighborhood" completely ignoring the fact that the soviet design was flawed from the start, and the Japanese one was located in a Tsumnami zone.

As for other industrial waste, its not visible to the average person so it doesn't exist. We are finally coming to the realization of how pervasive in the environment some of these chemicals are. PFAS/PFOS is basically everywhere, coal fly ash leaks all the time, creosote is essentially on every railroad track, leachate is entering ground water from old land fills, dioxin and mercury so prevalent on the gulf coast that eating the seafood is harmful. But again, none of that is visible. The East Palestine derailment was visible and nothing changed afterwards.

Humanity in general but industrialists in particular destroyed the planet and got paid go do it, then put the bill on the average person when cleanup came.

Nuclear is going to be needed 100% but it is an uphill battle. I hope the battle gets easier and the safety record continues to get better.

I was trying to figure out why 1) Alice Cooper was considered a podcaster first, and 2) why he had appeal with that demographic.

John Dies at the End is a good b/c/campy movie. It is absolutely not 1:1 to the books (which are good) but its a weird fun movie.

The plane fell out of a window and shot itself in the back of the head 4 times on the way down while its arms were tied behind its back.

The fact that he got all pissy and started talking over the moderators when they did explain something saying essentially you agreed you weren't going to fact check us but now you are fact checking me is really telling.

Another exploit was found on the WD MybookLive devices a few years back that allowed all the data to be copied/wiped remotely. I will never buy another WD device with network access.
