At the moment, there is nothing cleaner than solar or nuclear. I don't know what you think clean is but it's not the same as everyone else. De-centalizing the grid brings it own set of issues. One will be cost of actual infrastruc

You raise some decent points and I'm not going to reply to them all, however, consider that there is also medical radioactive waste. Should we abandoned all of our imaging equipment and radio-medical treatments because we can't ha

If the book I'm reading is to be believed, pensions were paid for by the company with money that would have went to the worker, if not for the pension. This money would then be invested over the career of the worker, similar to a 401k,

That's good to cut out unneeded sugars but I'd say it's risky jumping into a strictly fat, meat diet. I tried it and it definitely changed my blood cholesterol levels. Given that nobody can agree on what is actually "goo

Another year, another demon food. It seems every few years we switch it up, now it's sugar, before it was glutten, then it was fats, then it was carbs. It seems like nobody really has a clue what is "good" for us. The only th

This is amazing. Is there anyway to pull in opposing candidates during elections? I had a huge issue finding information on each side during the last election.

Fair enough, he might be a hot head. Hopefully the Russians realize this and also realize we vastly outspend them, militarily. I didn't vote for either of the two majority candidates but I'm excited to see what will happen. His fi

This is a relatively new problem, finding "happiness". It only becomes a problem after basic needs are met, food, roof over your head, steady income, low debt, healthy. People in the past had very little time to prioritize "h

Part of the argument is that we draw conclusions and interpret a book based on our own experience in the current time - not the time at which the book is written. Meaning changes with time, he gives an example of Moby Dick. It meant somethi

That's kind of funny you should say that. A book I'm currently reading advocates that our best writers of today's day and age won't be those on the internet that share their work easily but instead hidden away, released

I'd love a new alternative but it has so much popularity and it's hard to find an alternative people use. I try to use Snapcash whenever possible or an app I found on the Android Store - Cash. Was surprised Venmo was owned by Payp

A lot of power plants do, at least the ones I've worked at. I wouldn't be surprised if these substations don't. Inspection teams come in all the time and practically force companies to do things like obtaining a spare.

I totally understand. When I comment on Reddit, if it's not in agreement with the masses, I end up being downvoted and argue with people. Then I quickly realize - WHY!? A total waste of my time.

Devil's advocate here, definitely not an economist either, but why is devaluing everyone's wealth a bad thing? Sure, individually it sucks for one's pile of money to be worth less than it was yesterday but it incentivizes one
