If I recall correctly, Switzerland has a lot of gun control laws that dictate who can own a firearm, when and where the firearm can be used, and ownership requires strict training and licensing that often comes from the compulsory military service that the country requires. All of that would be great to have here in the US since the little tidbit about guns in our rule book mentions a well-regulated militia.

I haven't been arrested by Italian food cops yet so I'd say it's fine. Do whatever you want to food that makes it taste good to you because taste is a very subjective thing.

What's wrong with galvanized square steel? It's a strong, corrosive resistant material great for regular use in damp environments. Just don't cut it, weld it, eat it, etc. Zinc isn't all that healthy in large amounts.

The store by me has their own brand of pop-tart that's got more icing and filling as well as being half the cost. They don't have as many flavors, but they're not shrinkflated to the point of being a sad cookie. Shout out to Meijer toaster pastries.

Hydro is kinda devastating to any environment it touches if the scale is large enough. I think that it's usually pretty good on a micro scale that doesn't have to throttle waterways and flood others.

From my understanding, it's considered clean by comparison to fossil fuels in that it's easier to contain the byproducts that nuclear produces since they are primarily solid and liquid waste compared to the additional gaseous waste that fossil fuels make. The problem is in the potency of the pollution, the length of time that it needs to be stored, and while I said that it was fairly easy to store, that doesn't stop storage facilities from doing what the lowest bidder tends to do which is perform below the minimum expectation. The quantity of the waste is typically lower by tonnage compared to fossil fuels and a good chunk of nuclear waste is in the form of contaminated safety equipment that has reached the end of it's expected life cycle.

Something has to go horribly wrong for dangerous nuclear contamination to happen, but that's not to say that things can and have gone horribly wrong.

 

I was scrolling through the dashboard news feed and it seemed like every other news story was an outdated article on a hurricane or tropical storm. Example: there was one about the impending landfall of hurricane Dorian from a few years ago but it was presented as just about to happen. It was really strange. I panicked a little and checked the NOAA site but there was nothing at the time.
