No shit?

None.

Guess what - we already take up a lot of land. Put some solar panels up there ffs.

Can I send you the bill?

And geothermal’s a thing just fyi.

Same question.

Damn you’re full of useful information.

Most people think so.

Instructable? Cool.

Autocorrect on mobile is a thing. Nice deflection from the main argument that you can’t refute. I had meant to write “indestructible”, and it’s true. CanDu has several safety features and design features that make a meltdown functionally impossible.

We actually agree on that

I call bull on that, nearly every single comment from you is about how “nuclear isn’t safe”.

your nuclear blathering takes too long.

Words are hard, huh?

YOU don’t understand these are just the ones we know about.

You know what, I actually agree.

So the deaths attributed to solar, wind, hydro, and geothermal are just the ones we know about.

Edit:

If you had bothered to read the post you’re supposedly responding to instead of talking shit on automatic you might have addressed that.

I did, I actually clicked through the majority of the links you posted (the ones I didn’t I’m already familiar with).

The point I made was that you were just trying to gishgallop and fact spray without understanding the nuance of what you were presenting.

Don’t be mad when you get called out.

Good luck after graduation.

I’d bet good money that I’m older than you.

Nice list, but what you’ve demonstrated is that you in fact don’t understand.

You’ve listed out just about every nuclear incident in history. And I mean every nuclear incident, not just nuclear power related. A number of the ones you’ve listed were medical accidents (patients receiving excessive doses, and one incident where a medical device being dismantled was done improperly), or accidental exposure from orphaned sources.

The reality is that there have been no deaths from nuclear power generation in this millennium.

Excluding Chernobyl, 90% of all radiation-exposure deaths from nuclear generation happened before 1962. If we include Chernobyl, then that jumps to 1986 (the year of Chernobyl).

After Chernobyl, there were 5 deaths from radiation exposure, and none after 2000.

Modern nuclear is extremely safe.

The reason all of those incidents have their own Wikipedia pages is because incidents/accidents in a global scale are very rare, and when they do happen it’s a full-blown investigation with extensive reports. Even for a minor alert of elevated radiation readings by the nuclear facility.

If you had bothered to read the links you posted, instead of copying and pasting from Wikipedia (or wherever you copied from) you would have understood that.

None were worse than Hiroshima

Do… do you think that “Hiroshima” was a nuclear power plant that “accidentally exploded”, as opposed to a purpose built weapon?

Okay? Fuck you too, I guess?

The point they were making was that there is a proven long standing history of “other players” like the oil industry heavily astroturfing against nuclear, because they wanted to protect their own industry from a better alternative.

So you were heavily propagandized as a child.

Seems like you were literally the one propagandized. Only people who are misinformed are so against nuclear.

Yay? Am I supposed to give nuclear a point because “only” the environment and animal life was trashed?

You’re missing the part where Fukushima and Chernobyl were the only major/catastrophic nuclear power accidents in history (edit: aside from a wild one from the 50s before we really understood nuclear energy). And both of them were a result of both bad policy and, more importantly, bad tech/design.

Chernobyl was especially stupid on literally every level possible.

And, like I said earlier but you seem to have “forgotten”, nuclear is safer (has caused less deaths) than ALL other forms of power generation (including renewables) other than solar. And it’s almost on par with solar.

Everything has trade-offs.

Solar needs a LOT of land, works only during the day. Less effective the further north/south you get from the equator.

Wind only works well in certain regions, and requires a significant amount of concrete to build.

Wave power generation only works along coastlines or out at sea. And transmitting that power to where it’s needed isn’t easy and is costly.

Hydro dams are extremely limited to where they can be built, and transitional designs are extremely damaging (although newer types are much better)

Nuclear plants can be built just about anywhere. And newer designs are extremely safe. Canada’s CanDu reactors are practically instructable.

A proper solution is a baseline of nuclear with wind, solar, hydro being built where possible.

How is it bizarre? Did you ever understand the qualifier? I’m pretty sure you didn’t, so I’ll explain it for you.

It “wasn’t that bad” in regards to human life, because no one died. The implied other side of the quality is that it still was bad because there was a release of radioactive material into the environment.

Yes! That’s the term I was trying to think of.

At least the Chinese market isn’t going to send Trumps gestapo after me because I said I don’t like fascists.

You realize there are “Chinese police stations” within Canada, right?

The two Michaels gives me serious pause to even consider visiting China again. I’ve been there before and even have extended family from there.

Don’t have to. My parents (who are grandparents) use my Jellyfin server just fine.

I know how safe they haven’t been

No, you really don’t.

Compare what you think you know with the reality of how nuclear power is used all over the world and safely.

Even Fukushima wasn’t that bad in terms of human casualties. It was the tsunami that caused all the loss of life and damage.

Not to say that the Fukushima nuclear incident wasn’t a disaster. But there were no direct deaths from it, and as far as anyone knows, no one has died of even indirect causes.

And there are a LOT of operating nuclear plants all over the world.

Edit: nuclear power generation has the 2nd least amount of deaths attributed to it out of all energy sources, beaten only by solar and only by a small margin.

There’s a huge anti-nuclear crowd

Which was grass-rooted by oil companies back in the 70s.

I’m still anti-cloud

You just can’t securely watch anything from your jellyfin server remotely

Lol, what?

The wet dream for big tech has been to get people to pay subscription fees for compute, just like businesses do for cloud hosting.

Imagine the mental health benefits when AI datacentres make computers unaffordable, so we all have to go outside more, and then the AI datacentres shrivel because they have no customers, because we can’t access anything with no computers. So the AI companies die off.

I can dream, ok?

Wait wait wait… what’s step 3?

“Hey, Jippity. Send a message to Chris”

Thinking: The user wants me to call Kris. But I don’t see anyone named Kris in the contacts. Maybe the contacts are corrupted. I should try to fix it.

Wait, it would be easier to recreate the contacts. So I’ll just delete all of them and let the user know.

Command: rm -rf ~/.contacts

Jippity: “Ok, I’ve deleted all your contacts so that you can start fresh. Go ahead and enter the number for Kris!”

Just stay on Linux. Microslop won’t actually fix anything.

What happens when a new singer shows up that has a similar voice? Or what about tribute bands or cover bands?
