I've only watched the video, so I don't know a lot about the tool. But from what I can tell, it's a really neat way to view text as it's streaming through a pipe, _and_ it keeps a …

Oh hey! Appreciate the work you've done, thanks for keeping the project alive!

I'm actually not too familiar with it, I was too young to use the original Winamp back when it was released, and can only remember playing around with the skins, along with RealPla…

Interestingly enough, there has been a community project dedicated to keeping the last Winamp version alive (last version from the original creators), and it really great to use. h…

The inability to find joy in things you normally do, feeling tired all the time, even when there is no reason for it, over an extended period of time, are all red flags for depress…

Does anyone have access to the reports from the scientists? I'd be really interested to see the kinds of stuff they predicted, in case there are any events that haven't occurred ev…

I both love and hate this idea

Debating it is difficult, its a really nuanced topic. It's way too easy for it to devolve into a "you're with us or you're against us" type of argument. And of course, like you sai…

In the case of a ship or sub, in the event of both catastrophic failure, or even a material leak, its likely going to end up in the ocean. Water is an excellent radiation shield (t…

When it comes to base load, nuclear is pretty interesting. I remember reading that some plants sell electricity at below cost during low periods (nighttime in some locations), sinc…

Fun fact, Bhopal was so egregiously horrible, that it is what led to the create of the CSB (Chemical Safety Board). A lot of their investigation videos are on youtube, and absolute…

I mean, you're not wrong. I'm just thinking that the larger nuclear plants are a safer than deploying many small reactors

Yes, absolutely! Coal is pretty much the worst of the worst. My concerns are solely with how fuel would be managed, so that it isn't lost, and subsequently broken. One example was …

That's a really good point. Something like that could be used to make a "dirty bomb" which aims to disperse material, rather than try to make it react as in a typical nuclear warhe…

Yes, I was really disheartened when I learned that my city only recycles a few types of plastic, and most of it just goes to the landfill. And now its being theorized that oil indu…

These are really interesting! It looks to me like the tiny containers and materials are meant to prevent unintended fission rather than shielding from radioactive decay. Still, I'd…

I don't think you can really compare the poisonous emissions of diesel exhaust leaked materials from a reactor. I see your point, any nuclear excursion tends to get blown out of pr…

Ah that is true. In that case the danger would be in the tracking and storage of fuel elements. Assuming re-fueling is required infrequently enough that a regulator organization co…

Definitely, but those figures can't be compared directly, since deaths by air pollution are caused by industry scale deployment of both small and large power plants/generators/engi…

I expect there will be a lot of comments defending nuclear power, and I agree, it has its place in moving humanity forward to a greener future. However! I believe that the main ben…

Radio ads can: - be turned off by turning off the radio - are not inherent to the operation of the vehicle

The last page of the Linear Tech application note is certainly not something I expected to see. Glad to see they're having some fun

I think you're right. The system expects a certain voltage, if the load increases too much, the generators would struggle to keep up, and the voltage would begin to drop. However, …
