What is the use of a singular machine like this? Isn’t it far better to have 50 less capable machines at different institutions. At $20 million each they’d still be impressive.

(I know it’s not really a singular machine, but the question stands).

Camacho was a good president. He listened to Not Sure (eventually).

After COP29…it should.

Does anybody have an article that details the existing situation and the changes the bill would make? That article was completely void of content.

Investments in nuclear power are not taking money away from investments in solar.

This is interesting. Why do you think that?

I would disagree, because is see investment capital as finite. There are only so many investors able to operate at infrastructure scales. And therefore I see nuclear’s true cost as opportunity cost.

In the UK and a city? Probably Liverpool and because of The Beatles.

A Town? Well it certainly used to be Lockerbie where Pan-Am flight 103 crashed after a terrorist bombing just before Christmas 1988. It was on it’s way from London to New York.

Probably not known by the younger generations though.

The land thing isn’t anywhere near enough of a concern for me, especially when dual uses of land are quite feasible.

24/7 is just about over commissioning and having storage. Build 10x as much and store what you generate. At those sorts of levels even an overcast day generates.

Storage. It’s all about storage. In exactly the same way that our water is handled. We have reservoirs to handle the times when natural water supply is low.

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.

Ah, so you’re a waffle guy!

<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.
