- Comment on VFX artist explains why CGI in films is worse now 3 weeks ago:
Love those movies. Everything Everywhere All At Once had a team of 4 VFX people, IIRC.
- Comment on VFX artist explains why CGI in films is worse now 3 weeks ago:
I watched Godzilla Minus One a couple of days ago. It was made by a small VFX team, tiny budget, and a director who planned it all out in advance and the results were really impressive.
- Comment on [Actor discussion] What do you think of Jared Leto's acting and performance? 5 weeks ago:
The director wanted Bowie originally for BR. I would’ve loved to have seen him instead.
- Comment on Water firms ask for bill rises of between 24% and 91% 5 weeks ago:
but the problem is that “make it publicly owned” means “buy out their shares” which is giving them a bailout
The shares would be almost worthless.
plus “service all the debt the company is in” which is another bailout
Nope, the company would be wound up.
- Comment on Water firms ask for bill rises of between 24% and 91% 5 weeks ago:
Bail them out? Nah, make it publicly owned.
- Comment on Water firms ask for bill rises of between 24% and 91% 5 weeks ago:
You pass legislation to make the company unprofitable by making it fulfill it’s obligation to invest in infrastructure to the point where the funds run for the hills.

Ok, let me tell ya what “Like a Virgin”'s about. It’s all about this cooze who’s a regular fuck machine. I’m talking, morning, day, night, afternoon …
- Comment on What is your favorite PG rated horror movie? 5 weeks ago:
That was my pick too.
Instead I’ll go with Ringu (1998)
- Comment on I this a firm and polite way to tell an opinionated coworker to stop pushing his agenda I don't care about? 1 month ago:
“Can I just stop you right there?” like you have something important to say, and then just walk away leaving them confused as hell.

Looking forward to this, Mandy was fantastic.

The possibility of a catastrophic fuck up is way too high to put this on the average Windows user.
- Comment on Voyager 1 1 month ago:
I didn’t know that. So the ticket is still open for 11 but there’s still no fix?
- Comment on Voyager 1 1 month ago:
Microsoft can’t even release a fix for Window’s recovery partition being too small to stage updates. I had to do it myself, fucking amateurs.

Rule 1
- Comment on We can do all three things at once 1 month ago:
Citation needed.
Watch out, some dickhead might accuse you of sealioning.
- Comment on We can do all three things at once 1 month ago:
I don’t need to reread what you wrote
Cool. We’re done here.
- Comment on We can do all three things at once 1 month ago:
So which part do you know to be false,
Re-read what I wrote, I was quite clear although I edited my post a minute after submitting so maybe you missed it.
You can claim I’m seasoning all you want, anyone with a functioning brain can see I’m not.
- Comment on We can do all three things at once 1 month ago:
Asking for a source just to ask for a source is called sealioning.
Good grief, no.
I read so much absolute bullshit around nuclear and renewables where people just write out their feelings on the subject. Asking for sources to back up their claims isn’t sealioning, it’s a polite way of asking someone to try and back up their claims with facts.
- Comment on We can do all three things at once 1 month ago:
Thanks for this. I did ask OP for sources, in other words links to verifiable data to back up the assertion that:
“Has anyone who wants to “go green” without nuclear ever looked at the power output of these things?? It’s not even the same league! AaagggghHhHhhhhhhhh”
- Comment on We can do all three things at once 1 month ago:
Please provide valid sources to back up your comment. Thanks.
- Comment on We can do all three things at once 1 month ago:
The alternative is to be making bank on a far smaller outlay much more quickly with renewables.

👍

Its not cheaper if you only count the generation side you are ignoring Storage and Capacity factor those in and its not cheaper anymore.
Cost per kW:
Nuclear: $6,695–7,547
Solar PV with storage: $1,748
en.wikipedia.org/…/Cost_of_electricity_by_source
You ran for the hills when I called out your mistruths earlier. You’re still lying.
Here’s more:
“Roughly speaking, the total cost of these solar-plus-storage facilities would be:
$8.4 billion for 10.55 GWdc of solar power, fully installed at 80¢/watt $527 million for hypothetical power grid upgrades at 5¢/Watt $7.8 billion for 39.3 GWh of energy storage fully installed at $200/kWh Around $16.8 billion grand total, no incentives So, Georgia, pv magazine USA just saved you more than $13 billion (as of today anyway).”

Here comes the airplane say aaah
No need to act like a bitch just because I asked you to do the bare minimum and provide sources.
Your first link is about HVDC lines, which already exist and work well, what is your point?
your second link is about battery storage. You’re just posting links without giving any context to how they support whatever argument you’re trying to make here.
Battery storage is not nearly equitable enough at this point in time.
What does this mean?
“findings suggest that the cost per kilowatt (KW) for utility-scale solar is less than $1,000, while the comparable cost per KW for nuclear power is between $6,500 and $12,250. At present estimates, the Vogtle nuclear plant will cost about $10,300 per KW, near the top of Lazard’s range. This means nuclear power is nearly 10 times more expensive to build than utility-scale solar on a cost per KW basis.”

Tell me again about what’s equitable.
Small modular reactors are much more cost effective at the current price point than battery will be for the next 15 to 20 years.
They literally don’t exist as a means of grid generation. You’re just writing pro-nuclear fanfic and expecting us to treat it as if it has any basis in reality. Are you getting paid to peddle this horseshit?
You should be.

You’re still doing it. Your run on paragraphs aren’t worth much, if you want me to take you seriously, please provide links to valid sources to back up your argument.
- Comment on nuclear fear-mongering is a ploy by Big oil 1 month ago:
I asked you if you had anything to back that up. The answer is no.
- Comment on nuclear fear-mongering is a ploy by Big oil 1 month ago:
It’s just not feasible to scale to the point that we would need to scale it to sufficiently power our societies
Anything to back that up?

I mean, what is an analogy anyway?
- Comment on [deleted] 1 month ago:
To stick with your analogy, I got so annoyed at the gouging I figured out how to make my own drugs and now I deal a little on the side too.

Based on rigorous scientific research conducted on my desk, chipmunks do not like other chipmunks, but in a really adorable way.
The movies lied to you.
