@UltraGiGaGigantic It’s the only way to fight, though.
@bstix You don’t have to be rich to be an asshole, but you almost certainly have to be an asshole to get rich.
> I prefer the easy way of living.
There is no such thing as “easy way of living”.
Renewables suck at energy density, predictability and control.
Nuclear gives you all three.
Also, look into the solar panel manufacturing costs to the environment.
Of course, renewables are a must. But by dismantling nuclear you kneecapped yourselves, guys, big time.
It changed my view on how true to their ideas some people are.
@jatone Every video and every model will be overly simplistic when applied to any reality. Every abstraction is a leaky abstraction.
@rocci I want this as a poll format option in the Fediverse.
@AFC1886VCC Technically, the guy is gonna die anyway sometime.
@tilefan That’s weird, it’s not that I’m purposefully get rid of addictions, I just kinda… lose interest.
I used to smoke a pack of cigarettes a day. I also used to drink a lot. I don’t mind a cigarette or a beer or a shot every now and then, if the mood is right and the company is fine, but doing it every single day? Nah.
@InternetUser2012 I am Russian. Believe me when I say: most of us perfectly know what’s going on.
We’re just scared. That’s it.
@Quintus It can get annoying. It certainly is distracting.
@NathanUp @bjoern_tantau Maddy mailserver rocks
@Shelbyeileen I have a pet theory, that religion is basically a hardware vulnerability exploitation. Vulnerability being “we can’t comprehend death, physically”. Because trying to reconstruct non-existence in our world model causes division by zero, and everything breaks because you can’t divide by zero and have meaningful results. So in order to avoid it, your brain bends its model of reality, starts telling itself fairy tales about the supernatural world, redefines death as “transformation”, and basically bullshits itself into avoiding facing the inevitable.
> Even if we found out complete proof for what actually happens when you die and after death
We have. Your consciousness just shuts down forever. You’re a mortician, you would know. We just can’t grapple with it.
@Aganim The original Deus Ex also. Its story was brilliant and prophetic in a lot of ways.
As an example of a game, that actually got its second chance: the original Half-Life. Black Mesa is brilliant. I wish, other old games like Unreal and Deus Ex would have got a remake like that.
@flubba86 Yeah, it’s actually fucking easier to come in and fix their printer or whatever.
@Daft_ish Facebook’s making money selling *you* on Facebook. You are the raw material.
@Daft_ish If they are the ones who supplied your browser, they don’t have to pay shit.
@DrunkenPirate I’d accept this argument if it were still 1950s.
The year is 2024. Now we know better what to do with nuclear waste.
First, it’s actually crazy recyclable. You can separate plutonium and unreacted uranium from fission products and use it again, making your fuel cycle way more efficient.
Second, you don’t actually need to store the leftover fission products in an on-ground dump, that’s actually mighty dumb. Instead, the borehole disposal can be used. Basically, drill a hole several kilometers deep - that’s easy enough when you take the drilling equipment from all those oil barons - put your fission products in there (they’re quite compact by volume, if you separate it out) and then seal the hole with concrete. Nobody’s going to dig this up ever again. It’s a solved problem.
Cleaning up sites like Sellafield is just dealing with the wartime legacy, when nuclear research was less about energy production, and more about bombs. It doesn’t have to be this way.
