You’re using factors of less than 10 to argue against a factor of 100.

• Finland: 338,145 km² and 5.6 million people
• Germany: 357,596 km² and 82 million people

Where do you want to put your hazardous waste again?

Finland with it’s vast swathes of frozen tundra.

All of that time wasted for an election they lost anyway.

$60k per MW or $210M for a nuclear reactors worth (3.5GW). Sure… the reactor will go 24/7 (between maintenance and refuelling down times, and will use less land (1.75km² Vs ~40km²) but at 1% of the cost, why are we still talking about nuclear.

(I’m using the UKs Hinckley Point C power station as reference)

I’ll take the branding.

I haven’t to be fair.

Doesn’t help when you send the men to war.

So more how newsgroups fell, because ISPs didn’t want to run the servers due to storage.

He stacked the Scotus for sure, but he never should have had the chance. The fact that Obama’s vacancy from Scalia’s death was delayed by a full year into Trumps term, and then RBG, who had decided not to retire under Obama, died in September of 2020 just a couple of months before Biden’s election. If you play by consistent rules then at least one of those should be a democrat appointment.

So having done that, what was his role in overturning RvW? He takes “credit” for it, but all he did was appoint two judges. Two very damaging judges, but you don’t have to act with intent to make stupid choices that are exploited by others.

<sigh> stop with the “right-wing ideological white men” thing. It’s not political at this point.

A lot of “racially aware” writers seem to have ended up in a headspace where they can’t write white without making them a punching bag. It’s obvious. It’s childish. It’s racist. People of all races will be angry when their only representation in a piece of work is a lazy stereotype. You don’t need to be right-wing for that.

You can say “well now they know how it feels”, but that just means you’ve also sunk to the lowest level.

Unless race is critical to the plot, there’s no need to lean into it. Emphasising division breeds division. Just write a good story.

I was going to say something similar, but thinking everyone is “cunt”.

Yes, it’s gender neutral.

Not sure spraying water is going to help. More water means higher humidity air which will drive the smog. No?

…and I love the juxtaposition of public health with obscuring views of tourist attractions. No messed up priorities here.

So much comes down to “is trump malicious or just an idiot?” His last term was largely idiocy, and if that repeats itself then I think things will be ok. My concern is that his rhetoric has turned more toxic, so I think he may have done so as well.

I really wish running your own mastodon was as accepted as running your own email server. There’ll be no “blue check mark” problem if your company runs the server and only provides accounts to employees.

No. The have nag screens for donations, but they don’t block on principle.

Children are future workers, soldiers and parents.

These countries see that birth rates are dropping in the west and are looking to become dominant in numbers.

Not so much that period, but the late 30s - early 40s.

Biggest button needs to be “Disable lane keeping assist” and that should sort most of the stress he refers to.

…and then incinerate them at the other end of life.

…and they’ll tell us how green they are as they do it.
