My first theory was that it was just Naomi Watts’ character’s masturbation fantasy laid out on film. I still have to watch it a second time to confirm though 😬

CANDU reactors are pressurized heavy-water reactors not Fast-neutron reactors.
Since there are economic, ecological, conceptual and engineering problems, only five Fast-neutron reactors are operational at the moment. Three in Russia, one in India and one in China. Not surprisingly these are countries that also have an interest in producing weapons grade Plutonium, which FNRs are capable of.

And while nuclear energy production peaked 1996 at 17% and was nowhere near overtaking fossil energy production in it’s 70(!) year long existence, Renewables will overtake fossil fuel power production in 2025, with only minute risks for the biosphere.

So why cling to an outdated technology when there are viable solutions at hand, which are nowhere as complicated and dangerous as nuclear fission? It’s the monetary interest of a dying nuclear industry and its lobbyists.

Apple adheres to the principle of form over function, instead of the old but still valid form follows function design principle. But TBH I never liked their stuff or their over the top big cheese attitude. So it’s not a disgruntled apple user writing this.
Foucault’s pendulum by Umberto Eco. Just thinking about it makes me want to read this masterpiece again.

IMHO sport is a misnomer. “Game” seems more fitting to me.
When people in conversations tell me they’ve got nothing to hide, I routinely ask them for their bank details.
Why does Signal need my phone number?
Signal is subject to National Security Letters in the U.S.
Signal received funding from Radio Free Asia owned by the U.S. Agency for Global Media with ties to the CIA.
They seem to have a history of needing quite some time to release the server source code.
Here are some articles to read about Signal:
This the dystopia we chose for ourselves.
If you’d like to have a laugh, I very much recommend Pink Fohawk. It’s a shadowrun actual play podcast, with an emphasis on fun.
We should be aware that signal might not be the promised lands. It was created by a CIA affiliate. It’s also suspectible to National Security Letters from the U.S., requiring it to disclose information about its users.
A viable alternative might be France based Olvid. But I haven’t done much research on them.

Currently it feels like a reverse Golgafrincham situation. We got rid of the useless third by jumping ship. Let’s convince them we got swallowed by an enormous mutant Star-Goat 🤩 https://hitchhikers.fandom.com/wiki/Golgafrincham
