  • Please don’t be too harsh on yourself, you don’t actually know that it would have been a good idea, it is impossible to aay if it would have been better or not.

    You took the logical route, finnishing your education, which opened other doors for you.

    I tend to see life as a game where you are given a set of playing cards at birth, you gradually take over control of your deck as you grow up.

    You play your individual cards with the knowledge you have, and every play can give you even better cards to use later.

    You have no idea if you are about to get your next break, you can only play your cards with the knowledge you have.


  • I have been using a pair of Roth Audio OLi-RA1 speakers with my computer, they are real stereo speakers and require an amplifier to wire them up and power them.

    The are excellent speakers, good general speakers, and not that expensive.

    I don’t use a subwoofer, but it isn’t really needed for me, I do miss some sub bass, but that never bothered me.

    I am currently running them with a no brand Chinese analog amp, from the soubd out on my monitor that is connected to my computer with DisplayPort.

    Works great.

    I sm considering getting a Dennon RCD-M41 tl replace my amp, but have not had any need to do so in the last eight years.




  • I am very confused now, you link to articles talking about storage pool issues, but I never mentioned storage pools.

    I am talking about what they are doing in Finland.

    They have drilled a very deep hole in the bedrock, built vaults where they will put cey casks of nuclear waste, then they will backfill the hole and tunnels with clay.

    This is how you do it.

    No one considers a storage pool as permanent storage.


  • Which crisis is the most important to manage in the short term.

    Climate change, nuclear power gives us a huge tool to deal with it by shutting down fossil furl plants.

    If we fail the climate change, the nuclear waste will be a tiny problem to deal with.

    With nuclear power we at least give people a problem they can deal with, climate change is far, far worse.

    The ammount of radioactive waste is tiny relative to normal dumps, and as described before, it is easy to deal with, dig a deep hole, put the waste in it, refill it.

    Boom problem solved.

    CO2 from fossil plats will keep up climate change for centuries.






  • Scandinavia is geographically stable and has been politically stable for a long time, I can think of no better place for a global nuclear waste storage facility.

    Meteors is just s dumb risk to consider in this case, any meteor capable of breaching an underground nuclear waste will cause far worse problems than the nuclear material will.

    The baltic isn’t that tidal either, so tidal waves can be disregarded.

    Earthquakes have happened here, but they are few and far between.

    I recommend that you watch the BBC Horizon Documentary “Nuclear Nightmares” that talks about our fear of radiation.

  • Nuclear waste is a solved problem, it is contained to a tiny physical object, all we gotta do is dig a hole, put the object into the hole, and cover it up.

    We pretend that it is way harder than it is.

    I live in a suburb north of Stockholm in Sweden, and I’d support the government building a large underground permanent storage of nuclear waste from all over the world (for a fee) in my suburb, we have the best ground for permanent storage in Scandinavia, we would earn money, create jobs and make the world safer.
