Yep, “insane amounts” of power like you what you get by investing something like 1% of a few countries’ GDP in PV panels.

Capturing all the extra carbon from the atmosphere is not as expensive as it sounds like. It can easily be done by a few rich countries in very few decades once we stop adding more there every day.
Recycling nuclear waste is one of those problems that should be easy but nobody knows what the easy way looks like. It’s impossible to tell if some breakthrough will make it viable tomorrow or if people will have to work for 200 years to get to it. But yeah, currently it’s best described as “impossible”.

Energy density is a useless bullshit metric for stationary power.
Produces more waste than almost all of the renewables.
Reliable compared to… … … ok, I’m out of ideas, they need shutdowns all the time. Seems to me it’s less reliable than anything that isn’t considered “experimental”.
And it can’t work with renewables unless you add lots and lots of batteries. Any amount of renewables you build just makes nuclear more expensive.
They are an interesting technology, and I’m sure they have more uses than making nuclear weapons. It’s just that everybody focus on that one use, and whatever other uses they have, mainstream grid-electricity generation is not it.

IMO, Severance is even weirder.
On Fallout they can at least say to themselves that they wouldn’t nuke their city to get more power. But Severance is about exactly the kind of stuff that they do.

They can always claim it’s aliens. And then translate it all, with the people’s names, and keep claiming it’s aliens.

Netflix categorizes them that way…

Lots and lots of possible interpretations for “I don’t give a single fuck”.
Including dozens…
- Comment on well, at least I wasn't the only one to wonder 4 days ago:
The 40s and 50s where the decades for unethical human experimentation. There’s all kind of random shit that we shouldn’t know, but do know because of that period.

Oh, no.
Cancelling any series that doesn’t stay on the top10 on the first week was the start. Or was it removing their own old series from the catalog? Well, I can’t really tell when it started either.

The floor is night!
But that too.

Have you looked at its other side?
- Comment on Stars 1 week ago:
They look star-shaped because of refraction on the atmosphere and in our eyes. Those telescopes just have way larger relative distortions because they do have larger distortions and can see smaller things.

As long as you don’t insist on using them even after it became clear that the off the shelf version is better in ever way and you’ll never have enough time to reach its quality level.

In some ways, that’s somebody that made a great effort to let the computer find and correct double spaces…
It’s just a very strong case of that “scratch your own itch” of FOSS.

Consider it done!
- Comment on Realistically... How fucked is the US? 1 week ago:
Weirdly, it depends on how honest Trump is.
If he forgets about everything he talked at any part of the campaign, and just decide to maximize his tranquility during his term, not as bad as if he decides to keep his promises.

If I remember it right, you used the name of the people that used the name of the people that claimed that.

One of the many places that claim to be the real descendant of the Roman Empire.
- Comment on Scales that refuse to measure if the battery isn't brand new 1 week ago:
The GP is not describing a piezoelectric scale. And you won’t be able to find any piezoelectric scale that is anything similar to “cheap”.

I just noticed I don’t have a hardware calculator…
And the software one I remember about is translated.

Well, it’s wild, but there’s not a lot of fuck in it.

Is this elevator always that fast?
(Before hitting either the ceiling or the floor and both dying, probably.)
- Comment on Clever, clever 2 weeks ago:
All people replying that there’s no problem because such author does not exist seem to have an strange idea that students don’t get nervous and that it’s perfectly ok to send them on wide-goose chases because they’ll discover the instruction was false.
I sure hope you are not professors. In fact, I do hope you do not hold any kind of power.
- Comment on Clever, clever 3 weeks ago:
There are certainly people with that name.
