It's not. The point is that antagonists of nuclear power need scary scenarios to make it effective, and "poisoning tons of people that you don't care about" isn't one of them.

Yup, I've visited the site and walked up to the reactor face! I think the thing about Church Rock that struck me was the absolute negligence demonstrated throughout. There's certainly neglect at Hanford, but to my understanding no

Thank you. Yes, that was my point.

Thank you for this. It's my first time learning about it. I'm almost happy it's unknown since this is such a better argument against nuclear power than 3 Mile etc. Although I suppose for it to be an effective scare tactic you

Maybe worth semi weaponizing it? Make your own phishing page that gets into this list (easier said than done) and as soon as they click the sign in button (pre credential entry) splash a page explaining that Apple is busted?

They were also boarded up a month or two before the protests... At least in Seattle. It's loss prevention - don't leave merchandise visible behind windows if the entire street will be empty for months to come. Edit - E.g. This bus

I hate to say that I actually like that idea. I'm swamped in random notifications for weird parts of the repo I don't care about. I'd really like a "high # of comments and reactions/loc changes" feed.

Basically. Between covid masks and the music, nice weather, art, co-op style stuff it looks and feels very Burning Man. Which is a popular event for folks here anyway so perhaps unsurprising.

Yup, this is it. It's a super common issue though, and we see it all the time. An app expected the email of a user to be static and keys off of it. User gets married and loses their code access. At best it's a work stoppage when s

I dunno. I realize Balmer peak is a semi-joke, but I really enjoy bowling and used to go once a week or so with friends. Some days we'd get a pitcher of beer, some times we wouldn't. My third game is reliably better if we bought a

A favorite from a local pizza shop that opened recently https://dinostomatopie.com/ - very much intentional. The design credit tucked in the bottom links to a nice writeup on making this site, but currently has an cert erro

Hm, I can't find any sources to this effect. Have one? I vaguely recall a bit about paying over market for petroleum to refill the reserve, with the idea being we fill a demand and prop up the gas industry.

We have something between 3 and 8 user profile services that you might interact with on a daily basis depending on where you sit. If they all had "good" names they'd all have roughly the same name. It's dumb for onboardi

Believe it. My deductible is 2500 of which Microsoft pays 1k. Lots of more senior folks bemoan the lack fo the Cadillac plan they used to get.

They like the quality of their healthcare - the "seeing a doctor and getting healthy" aspect. If the question was "do you like working with your health insurance" the answers would be different. I've never met a sin

Just like Facebook doesn't have to respect your First Amendment rights, neither do other private enterprises like banks and stock markets need to respect your "economic rights"

There's nothing there that indicates they'd take down two experts with conflicting views. It simply assumes that non-experts (specifically those pretending to be experts) shouldn't be listened to.

I'd be happy with just taking a screenshot of the recipe and scanning it on to the e-ink - this will save my phone quite a few run ins with oily/dirty hands while cooking.

People who are generally oppressed by the larger system/those in authority? There's a charitable understanding of the statement here.

It's insufficient - there's a cap on how much carbon we can stop emitting, and maxing that out will not be enough to halt climate change. Agreed though, in the sense that we should fully fund the cheap options while also funding

Yes, effectively. The US has tested ~zero people relative to population (under a thousand according to CDC), compared to eg South Korea who has tested thousands of people. Estimates suggest that between 150-1500 people in Seattle are infect

Most Americans cannot afford several thousand dollars and that much time away from work.

The US still spends more than any other country on Earth and indeed more than almost all of them combined. Any random country can spend more by GDP or by percent, but by dollar the US is the clear largest spender. Focusing on those two poin

There are valid reasons to have anonymity on the internet - plenty of them. It's really hard for me to grok the intrinsic value and human right of carrying a 200 note instead of two hundreds. If I'm gift giving, maybe, but frankly

Good luck using one though in Brazil or Vietnam - they're illiquid relative to euros or dollars and therefore harder to launder. "widely used currencies" can be read as "usd, eur, jpy, cny, gbp, cad", although chf i

Indeed it was. Even now the 200 Euro note is the best for laundering and transportation since it's the highest value bill in common circulation (per Fed employee)

I discussed this with a coworker the other day - buying carbon offsets is a good way of pricing convenience vs urge to do good in the environment. He drives to work every day, because taking the bus is a hassle/takes time, etc. What&#x

FIDO is supported, which is cred phishing resistant - but Oauth permissions phishing obviously can't be prevented if it's all 'legitimate' traffic to a bad app.
