Tag yourself. I’m old man / living outside space-time

Ok but where do I vote?

I cannot disagree.

Turning my brain off to global affairs once or twice a week is essential to my sanity.

Huh! I had no idea. Thank you!

Could you elaborate on that? I’m not up to date on FOSS / open source licensing.

Don’t bring Zizek into this, let the lava buck skeleton talk.

Evergreen content. Just keep updating the names every four years, and it’ll be relevant until the end of the American Empire time.

As somebody who once worked at an ISP: they absolutely do that, and it isn’t illegal. In fact, ISP’s host many of Ookla’s speedtest servers. The less infrastructure your test needs to go through, the better the results will be—there’s nothing faster than a network that’s communicating with itself.

Sometimes I’m a put things on the fries fella, sometimes I’m a dippin’ boy. There’s no bad answer—only good fries!

Turkey would have actually gotten a shiny platinum medal if there were no ffffffeeeeeeemales on the team.

But NATO did start the simple and delicious vanilla cupcake recipe…

Nope this is a real cybertruck.

If you didn’t play EverQuest with Roger Wilco, don’t even talk to me about voice chat.

If I can’t type /pizza in EverQuest to get a pizza to wizard itself to my doorstep, I don’t even know what technology is trying to do anymore.

TOYOTA: Won the War on Terror. For TERROR!

Look, I’m just saying, the ad campaign writes itself: “TOYOTA: Trucks so powerful the Taliban beat the USA.”

It’s the Ottawa Citizen. So, no, not a real newspaper.

Your numbers are way off. A nuclear power plant generates about a tenth of the emissions of a coal power plant over its full lifecycle. This includes things like:

• Plant construction
• Plant decommissioning
• Uranium mining
• Uranium transportation
• Uranium enrichment
• Fuel reprocessing
• Uranium mine reclamation

But none of this really matters in comparing the two. Coal power plants also need to be constructed, and have fuel transported to them! They don’t just sprout out of the earth like manna from God!

Is it better than solar, wind, or hydro? No. Those generate about 5 to 20% of the emissions as a nuclear power plant (depending on which you’re talking about) when you include manufacturing and construction. Fortunately, functional governments (read: not the West) are capable of walking and chewing gum at the same time! They’re doing both! Which is smart—I’d rather have a nuclear fuel storage problem in 100 years than a “whoops, humanity went extinct!” problem. We don’t have a lot of time here.

I think it was the other way around. Not that it particularly matters.
