You're simply hand waiving away the problems. Even reprocessing creates waste that must be dealt with. Commercial fast/breeder reactors are always ten years away, and it has yet to be proven that they could even be economically vi

What is the benefit of nuclear if we are left with uncontainable highly toxic radioactive waste? There are already problems with handling waste at existing storage sties. Radioactive waste isn't a problem to be solved 10,000 years from

You do know that The China Syndrome was released twelve days prior to the Three Mile Island incident? Did the filmmakers sabotage Three Mile Island, or was it the nuclear industry's carelessness? One thing that the nuclear industry has

Perhaps the software engineer will become redundant and have to take up darning socks when AI replaces them? It starts to get kind of sketchy when you start dictating how people should spend their time, as if the economy will always take ca

They control the reaction within the reactor, and in newer reactors can be used to regulate load. France & Germany do have a load following system in place for their nuclear reactors. It's not a simple matter of turning off a react

Scaling down power generation when demand is low is not something nuclear is good at. Battery or energy storage systems that could store excess power from the grid would help any sort of power generation technique become more efficient and

I am aware it's not truly "full spectrum", but it is more tolerable than the harsher bluer "daylight" CFLs. These CFLs were designed to provide truer whites for photography. They were also cheaper than buying a ligh

I have soft white CFLs that look identical to incandescent bulbs. I also recently bought some full spectrum 5500K CFLs for my bathroom vanity, in an effort to see if full spectrum light in the morning will help my mood. A lot of the "d

I think a lot of your posts make you out to be an AirBnB apologist, but looking over all of them, I don't think that is the impression you're trying to make.

If the tree fell on the house killing the owner, you'd probably be on here saying the owner was stupid for not getting his tree tested.

by Klinky 11y ago
If the tree is dead or rotting then it is better to cut it down. If you're unsure of the status of a tree, you should be cautious around it until it has been tested. Basically don't climb it or put a swing on it. I am not sure wha

There are plenty of parks with swings in Oregon. They never diminished. There have been cases of shoddy or poorly constructed playgrounds and skate parks though. People should definitely question if the materials and the contractor installi

Then there needs to be a huge disclaimer about safety liability and people need to be given a checklist of safety items to inspect upon their arrival. There should also be a guarantee of a full refund and/or alternative accommodations

The drivers alone probably cost more than $1/mile, then you have gas and maintenance. FedEx had $45B revenue with $2B net income, not exactly huge margins. Obviously there is more to package deliver than just the raw cost of getting a

Having some experience in this area, some hotels were only getting 1/3rd even 1/4th of the sticker price on the aggregator website. Part of this was on the hotel though, for not managing their rates through the aggregator properly

Claiming you're a shareholder or "know people" is weak man. You wouldn't be talking to the customer service drone if you had other avenues, and they know this. If anything it'll make them want to spite you even more

It's better if you can cite at least one example/solution when criticizing.

It's probably similar to the fullscreen problems Adobe Flash had in the past, where the CPU was being used to resize tiny video to fullscreen resolution. This lead to low definition video becoming choppy while pegging your CPU at 100%.

While reddit stated they weren't banning an idea, only the subreddit, alternative subreddits that popped up on the same topic were also shutdown. The belief is that the idea leads to negative unacceptable behavior, and thus they have a

The problem was that /r/fatpeoplehate was banned while other "vile" subreddits continued to exist. Censorship is weird. In the US we can't show breasts on TV, but someone can get their head blown off. On reddit, you

This is definitely the best way to start. Getting a windowing library operating properly is a struggle in itself, and can be very demotivating. OpenGL is complicated enough without dealing with such thing. When I was researching it a lot ba

Being able to thrive and do well at something physically demanding in spite of a disease is very empowering. Her mind being on her next medal is probably better than her mind being on her next fainting spell.
