Not at all! Nuclear is an excellent compliment to renewables and as a companion source to support the grid they are actually really effective. They’re also really useful in situations where renewables just aren’t an option such as large scale shipping. Obviously we haven’t seen any nuclear container ships yet but that’s mostly around startup and infrastructure costs as well as outdated regulations.

With small nuclear reactors becoming commonplace I wouldn’t be supprised if we start to see nuclear shipping becoming a thing in industry in the next 20-50 years.

Its already been proven as a reliable, safe, and effective power source in a naval context. The main hangup people seem to have is with accidents at sea, however again, the militaries of the world have already proven nuclear reactors safe in a number of accidents where a nuclear vessel has been lost and the reactors shut down safely and did not cause release of nuclear material.

Can’t wait! Cheap linux laptops are abound!

She lived almost 3 times the average life expectancy for her species!?! That’s genuinely insane! Imagine a human living to 180 years old!

I thought it was that you should build your house out of decently strong materials or it may collapse under a stiff breeze

For everyday use, sure, but for trolling they’re just excellent!

My old cat used to sleep at the end of my bed, always has done. However, I often kick out in my sleep which regularly resulted in my cat being shoved off the end of the bed and down between the wall at which point he would calmly make his way under the bed, hop back up and resume position without so much as a fuss. I tried keeping him out of my room for a while but he would sit and complain for hours until I let him back in. Still don’t understand that cat to this day lol

It originated from the Watergate scandal iirc. Watergate being the Watergate hotel but I guess water and gate are easy to separate and -gate kind of works as a suffix.

Remember, there is: Life is meaningless and nobody cares :(

And

Life is meaningless and nobody cares :)

What?

Not true. Nothing quite gets the point across quite like “shits fucked.”

Focus less on trying to stop them leaving and more on giving them good reasons to stay.

But why is the rum gone?!?

Yo ho yo ho a pirates life for me!

Because the potential cost to them doesn’t out weigh the benefits (or potential costs) they get from adhering to the ICC regulations.

Sorry to be pedantic but its actually STEAM now that Arson is considered hot girl shit.

Because now, anyone can do it to anyone with zero effort and a single photo.

Sure, before anyone with decent Photoshop skills could put together a halfway decently convincing fake nude but its still significantly more effort and time than most would be bothered with and even then its fairly easy to spot and dispute a fake.

Most people weren’t concerned if a celebrity’s fake nudes were spread around before but now that a colleague, student, teacher, family member, or even a random member of the public could generate a convincing photo the threat has become far more real and far more conceivable

Na, too wasteful. Instead, just cement everyone into one of those concrete arches that tunnel boring machines poop out behind them and turn those corpses into tunnels. You still get to be buried but you’re also doing something useful in death!

When I die, I want my body donated to a university astrophysics lab. I’m either going to space or getting blown up trying!

Its where the people at.

That’s not true. Groups of people can work towards specific goals in a constrained framework and still work creatively within that. Take movies and TV, animation, architecture, music etc. All of these may have hundreds or thousands of people working together and individually behind the scenes. Would you say that therefore they’re not creative or relied on creativity to work?

I know people say that limits kill creativity but I’d say in many cases its the opposite. Limits cause people to think creatively to build something interesting within those bounds.

Not to say thats the rule. Sure, hive mentality and groupthink can kill creativity but its not the case for everything, far from it.
