Ok so this isn’t really a serious conversation?

i dont really understand, if you hate working from home now (and it sounds like you have for a long time) why dont you switch to an in person role? there are certainly plenty of th…

certainly not true in this case. The constant protests and clashes and deaths caused a significant national backlash, to the point that operations were dialed way down and even the…

Why not? It all comes frozen anyway. Not particularly different from any other food

and how did that work out? the site is dead now because of it

personally i think we should just stop selling the leaded version, tomorrow. alternatives exist, update your planes or dont fly, but no more leaded fuel.

Subscription money of $10 mo minus the cost of the cellular data connection and data, which is probably ~$8mo. So, a whopping profit of $24 a year? I hear this theory a lot but it …

Having grown up in Australia I agree with everything you say. The percentage of property parasites as a % of the working population is staggering. Agree with all except maybe this:…

If this is your situation consider asking for an ISO to NSO conversion. Many companies these days will allow you to do this, as they’ve realized it’s in their best interest to not …

88% seems impossibly high. “Or controlled by” must be doing some heavy lifting. Government owned power is 9% of the US, 25% of Australia, 1% of the UK. If “or controlled by” means …

The speed of change is what’s special this time. Careers are being eliminated faster than people can reskill or change careers.

Yes? So? Fairly common shorthand when discussing electric power systems. No one confuses it with bombs, because that would be silly.

Because no one wants to pay for a lifetime of inflated energy costs (nuclear) for the off chance of it helping in a black swan event. Humans aren’t wired that way, and neither is c…

Your proposal is to use nuclear as only backup? Or for only late nights (after batteries have discharged)? That dooms nukes economically, they need to run and sell power at close t…

There are relatively few oil exporting countries so probably not a big effect

I absolutely agree we could see cost reductions with scale. Maybe 2x ? But solar is a much more simple manufacturing process that’s amenable to massive massive volume. Print silico…

And I’m supposed to care? Old tech will be pushed off the grid by cheap renewables, and rapid dispatch gas will remain. Sounds great.

Last two years for china. But yes? That’s because renewables finally got great. They’re momentum is not expected to slow down

> If solar and wind can be made profitable, I don't see how nuclear is any different. Nuclear is fundamentally way more complicated than wind and especially solar. Nuclear is 10s o…

They mostly don’t seem to agree, as exhibited by the fact that virtually none of them are breaking ground on new nukes.

The increased demand is absolutely and categorically not being met by coal. Look it up, chinas total coal emissions have declined the last few years, despite overall demand growth.…

This is just faith without evidence

Finland is the definition of an outlier, and folks in similar situations make up a tiny percentage of the world population. They can burn gas for the next 50 years, and we can stil…

Huh? Solar is widely acknowledged to be significantly cheaper than building new coal. And it is everywhere, you can just buy containers of it and have it delivered anywhere in the …

Something like half of all bulk transport is moving fossil fuels around. So there’s already a huge win
