It is the opposite. Nuclear shills don’t base their opinion on facts, they would rather hope for a miracle solution that is, when viewed rationally, complete nonsense. Apart from the extremely toxic waste for which we have not found geological structures stable enough to prevent it from leaking, building nuclear power plants is a really CO2-intensive process, especially with regard to all the concrete involved. The most pressing issue, however, is the fuel. What do you think nuclear reactors generate power with? Lots of air and goodwill? Entire regions have to be dug up for Uranium, of which useful isotopes then have to be enriched before they can be used economically in reactors. Furthermore, uranium is even less abundant in the Earth than oil and natural gas. If we would adopt nuclear power generation at large scale world-wide, we would deplete our scarce uranium probably in a few decades, long before oil. So we’re just substituting one problem for another with nuclear energy. It isn’t sustainable and renewable because at some point shortly after adoption, the fuel would run out.

It is also not the norm for small business owners, so what is your point?

Love that film. One of my favourites

Would not be so sure about that. Running is our specialty, especially with regard to endurance. A properly trained dog vs. a properly trained marathon runner would probably be an even match.

I can guarantee you that no app on or for your phone can do a fraction of what GIMP is capable of.

No. Education will always remain the way out of poverty. And regardless, no “AI” can replace actual programmers at present. Their code and code quality are entirely unreliable and not suitable for serious, production use. They may be sufficient for hobbyist applications, but for software that is actually getting deployed, LLM outputs vary too widely, and you will always need experienced programmers to monitor them and correct errors. Also, an AI can not come up with a coherent design principle for you, the individual modules and moving parts it spits out will invariably fail to work together at scale. Creating software is much more than just churning out code. It requires advanced reasoning and specific knowledge, and AI is not there yet, and who knows if it ever will. All companies that are firing (or not hiring) programmers over current day LLMs are going to fail.

Well, you’ve got to climate-proof it. At least try to. Hydroponics, which, if done right, is both more space efficient, less susceptible to disease and environmental hindrances, and requires much less water. Solar power generation loves the sun and the cells will not really care how hot it is (in realistic environments), they will only get more efficient. Go subterranean to a degree, and have your architecture style be inspired by things like Earthships.

Freshwater can be gotten from wells, rain traps or dehumidifiers. If you want animals, you will have to hold them in buildings similar to your own dwelling.

Keep in mind that this advice is for if you expect it to get hot in your area. However, parts of Europe will tend to get colder due to climate change, at least at certain times of the year.

Wrong. You just need to know what you’re doing and must not be impatient. Just spend 5 damn minutes reading before you do the thing. We don’t always need unnecessary abstractions upon abstractions upon abstractions.

That’s definitely not what they said, and I don’t see how you could read it that way except if you wanted to find something to complain about. There are much more meaningful battles to be fought than calling strangers on the internet bad parents.

No, ACAB is not a reasonable worldview in the first place. It’s very ignorant and intolerant. A society needs police, and most policepeople are good and sincere human beings.

He controlled it with Neuralink

What an incredibly enlightened comment.

No, they are not for you to reevaluate because you hold no knowledge or expertise in these fields. Demanding for outsiders to interfere with the scientific process because of their silly little biases and mental disabilities is a deranged opinion.

Who cares for your funking CFO? No way he’s the guy doing “innovative shit that saves lives across the world”, it’s the guys below him making a fraction of his salary.

This completely misrepresents the issue. It is not about working for free. A salary of a million bucks is just insane, regardless of context, be it for a non-profit, a private company or a presidential office. There’s no point of donating money to a cause if it only ends up in the pockets of a CEO who already has way too much of it.

Those figures definitely ARE outrageous for those positions, or ANY positions.

You know there’s a difference. Nowadays, many people are glued to their phones because of addictive apps like TikTok and Instagram. I can’t imagine that newspapers had the same effect.

Funny way to misspell vim

That’s some weird 120° though. I guess 0° is the cake lying face down?
