You're anti-old-nuclear. It's like being anti-old-aeroplanes, which isn't an interesting position. The article is about depoyment of new plants. You've replied to a bunch of different threads with empty comments like thi

> Earth's cyclical climate will kill us anyway Why? The reason climate change is dangerous is not because it'll get too hot or cold for us, but because the temperature is changing too fast . It's the gradient that's

It's worse than that though, because, for example, nuclear power is significantly safer than other technologies currently in use[1][2], and as another example, immigrants (including illegal immigrants) are less likely to commit crime

I'm interested in this too. The dev would probably have a good answer since they previously made a pure JS sand game too: https://github.com/MaxBittker/dust

I'm not so sure about that. Certain species pf crows and parrots have long been understood (even by non-scientists) to have general/abstract reasoning abilities. And people who actually study them seem to think that we often under

I'm no historian, but my best guess it that it's just correlation and that the main underlying cause of "civility" is wealth. When your citizens are struggling to survive, they (at least in their own minds) don't ha

I had to do a double-take. Satoshi and Peterson in the same sentence? One is famous for kickstarting decentralised currencies/markets/etc., and the other is famous for... Lobsters? Pronouns? [Saying that women shouldn't be al

I'd definitely lean towards agreeing with you there. And on top of that, I live on the west coast of Australia, and there are people living fine from Albany (at the bottom) to Broome (at the top), but there's probably only 5% of t
