In 2023, 12% of Austria's electricity had a nuclear origin [0]. As for the risk of a meltdown, look at a map of reactors in Europe. The reactors Austria is buying that power from aren't much further away from major population cent

Following your metaphor, those humans eat meat while voting to outlaw the killing of animals. But only after spending a billion dollars on hunting equipment.

The reliance of the Austrian power grid on nuclear energy, combined with their total refusal to produce it domestically is certainly ironic. This phenomenon also predates any notion of green energy transition by several decades.

The irony is that a good chunk of Austria's electricity imports have a nuclear origin. Many of those reactors are a stone's throw away from the border.

I don't think a jury would have much sympathy for you if someone decides to bring this matter before a court.

I agree. My argument is that if your calories from food equal your energy expenditure over a given time period, and then you eat a single celery stalk, then the energy from the celery will "fatten" you (and/or contribute to m

I'm talking about literal, unprocessed celery sticks. I understand that the notion that the digestion of celery burns more energy than it provides is a myth. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Negative-calorie_food

>"Healthy because it isn't very fattening" Every single food item can be "fattening", so categorizing them as such is inaccurate. You can eat cookies and lose fat if you're in a net caloric deficit, and you

I really wish ECMA just ran with the Node.js require instead of unnecessarily creating a new standard. Maybe one day we'll see interchangeable use of require/import. One has to wonder about the total number of hours wasted debuggi

By the same token one could claim that any kind of diet is associated with an increased risk of death, but in reality this would be because overweight/obese people are the group most likely to seek out dietary interventions.

This isn't a market in any classical sense. First because Google decides what your bug is worth only after you submit it, second because the quantity of the product is indeterminable, and lastly because it includes participants at the

In the way that they're getting pennies on the dollar. Of course they don't have to participate, but neither do workers in any other economy where slavery was abolished, so I don't see the point you're making.

This isn't exactly news. I have a sports nutrition textbook from 2009 that recommends having carbs with your post-workout protein at a 3:1 to 4:1 ratio.

Absolutely not. One has to wonder if the cultural climate was what it is today during the golden age of microchips whether there would be calls to impose a maximum transistor count per area, especially if they could foretell how much power

You are suggesting that police regularly invent false positives for ShotSpotter. Is there any evidence to support this? This would seem like something that would easily show up on an audit.

How is it "overpolicing" if those communities truly experience more gun violence than others?
