Yeah, that must be the reason why the United States pay half a billion dollars of tax payer money each year to the utility companys to compensate their failure in finding a suitable storage location. Not to mention the other 17.5bn the DOE pays every year for handling nuclear waste from power plants.
- Comment on Anon finds a plot hole 1 week ago:
Which is still not operational, just like the dozens of other potential storages, we started building just to find out last minute that they are not suitable. Or even better, those we started using just to find out they were not suitable to begin with later. I’m curious to read how many billions it will cost to retreive the waste from Onkalo in 30 years when we’ve learnt that it’s also not safe for the next million years.
- Comment on Anon finds a plot hole 2 weeks ago:
If it’s such a non issue, how come we still don’t have a single long term storage facility for spent nuclear fuel in the world? After more than 70 years of nuclear energy production.
- Comment on Wear your seatbelt 2 weeks ago:
Forking shirt, I swear whenever I want to. And if I don’t want to, I don’t.
Neither will some count at Google or some motherforker stop me from swearing, nor will some clockmucker on lemmy force me to 🦆ing swear.
Fuck yeah!
- Comment on Wear your seatbelt 2 weeks ago:
That’s absolutely not true. Just read the 🦆ing law. The fines can be found in BKatV, Anlage (zu §1 Absatz 1).
Nr. 100 says “Vorgeschriebenen Sicherheitsgurt während der Fahrt nicht angelegt; 30€” which clearly states that YOU get fined for not wearing a seatbelt.
Nowhere does it say anything about transporting someone else who isn’t wearing a seatbelt, except for children who are explicitly mentioned in Nr. 98 and 99: “Ein Kind mitgenommen ohne für die vorschriftsmäßige Sicherung zu sorgen”.
Even if the clear language of Nr. 100 would have left any doubts, the fact that the numbers talking about children explicitly mentions transporting someone else shows that that’s not the case for grownups.

Same in Germany. I guess, we don’t live in civilised countries then 😢

Yeah, that’s why you have to wind up your watch every now and then. To spin up its internal black hole again.
- Comment on Anon makes games 4 weeks ago:
There actually is a method that could be used to extract energy out of a black hole. Probably not something you’d build in a watch-sized device though.
- Comment on Anon buys a car 1 month ago:
That’s standard procedure here. It’s called Tageszulassung (one day registration): Dealerships register new cars on their own name for one day, so they’re able to sell them as “used”. This allows them to sell the car with a higher discount than they’re normally allowed to, according to their contract with the manufacturer.
For the customer it means they get a better price, but otoh you have to take the car as it is and can’t choose which extras you want. For the dealership it means they can sell more cars, making them eligible for bulk discounts themselves. And the manufacturer is somewhat ok with that because they also sell more cars without being forced to lower the catalogue price.

You don’t have to be a customer if you just steal everything you need. [Smart guy meme]

As a software developer, AI has made me ten times more efficient. Before AI I used to produce 2-5 new bugs per day of work…

if you think it’s fine to call it ‘fucking’, you’re definitely not a virgin anymore
Oh, that’s great to hear because I think it’s fine to say that I’ve fucked up more than once in my life. So I’m no longer a virgin 🙌
- Comment on Anon saves up 2 months ago:
Even if it is part of your contract, I’d still suggest you talk with your boss about your plans beforehand. Just so both sides are in the same boat and your employer can also plan ahead, knowing that you’ll be gone for two months next year. Otherwise they might not even allow you to take all your time at once.

No, that’s “indiot”. “Invincible” means to not be eccentric and weird.

What would you sue for? Just move to West Virginia with your sister and be happy. Maybe you could sue 23andme to pay for the moving truck.

ulimit -H -u 10will (hard)limit the current process (the shell) to 10 subprocesses. You can also use it to limit the number of open files etc.To globally configure that for a user/group you’d use
/etc/security/limits.confinstead.If you want to prevent users from filling up the disk, take a look into quota.
- Comment on Anon sets up a prank at school 8 months ago:
I’d scold the sysadmin instead for not cofiguring critical systems in a secure way. Ulimit exists for a reason.
- Comment on Anon questions the KKK 8 months ago:
Don’t wanna argue with the premises here. But isn’t Christianity also a bit stupid for praying towards the instrument that’s been used to torture and kill their leader.
Just imagine you are Jesus and come into a modern church. You’d run away screaming with all those crosses triggering your PTSD. And that’s before you’ve even heard of all the atrocities they’re doing there in your name.
- Comment on Anon experiences German humor 8 months ago:
That. And the fact that doctor jokes have a well known scheme that’s broken here, as you’d normally expect the joke to continue after the sentence.
A woman comes to the doctor and asks “Can I take a bath with my diarrhea?” The doctor answers: “Sure, if it’s enough to fill the tub.”

A neutron walks into a bar and asks: “How much for a beer?” The barman says: “For you, no charge”.
- Comment on Anon experiences German humor 8 months ago:
It’s a bit like the shortest joke: A woman comes at the doctor…
Or in German: Kommt 'ne Frau beim Arzt…
This one works well in German and English, but I assume it’s untranslatable in many other languages.
- Comment on Anon picks up some food for his family 9 months ago:
There are a lot of foods that taste better and better with every time you reheat them. Especially a lot of stews: Grünkohl, Bigos, Lasagna, Chilli con Carne, Pörkölt, all kinds of Curry etc.
Problem with reheating McDonald’s is, that it’s shit food to begin with. To get a decent menu out of McD leftovers you put them in the oven for 7 minutes, but make sure to replace them with a pizza 6 minutes before they’re done.

- Comment on Anon goes on holiday 9 months ago:
I was in Faliraki a few years ago and it was really nice. I was there in late October though, so there were only like 20 other tourists in town and all the penny arcades and tourist shops were already closed.
I’ll never understand why people fly to the south in the middle of the summer, when the weather is nice here anyway.

Oh dang, I’ll have to move to a bigger house. My current home is lacking a chicken washing room.
- Comment on Why does the winter solstice mark the beginning of winter, and not the center? 9 months ago:
There are (at least) four different definitions of winter:
- Astronomical seasons are what you describe, and these are obviously based on astronomical events, for which the equinoxes and solstices are the perfect fix points. That the seasons start at these days is purely conventional, and in some times (roman empire) and places (Celtic calendar) people used these days as the center point of the season instead (also known as “Solar seasons”). Why those don’t match up with the actual temperature has already been explained in countless other replies.
- Meteorological seasons use a simple, month based approach, where winter is just December, January and February. That makes it easier for statistical usage but obviously is also just a man-made convention.
- The energy sector defines winter as the time of extended energy needs due to heating. Where I live, that’s defined as 1. of October - 31. of March, but for obvious reasons that’s highly dependent on where you are.
- Phenological seasons are a bit more what you’re looking for: They are based on biological events in indicator plants and a lot more complex than just being four fixed periods and only ever the same for small regions. Where I live, there are ten phenological seasons, winter starts when the English Oaks drop their leafs and ends with the blooming of the Common Hazle.
In other cultures there might be vastly different seasons. In many tropical countries you’ll only have the dry season and the monsun season.

Use the drumset on speaker mode at 3am, sell silence to your neighbours for money and use the ransom to buy a pressure washer.
