Senior Chief Petty Officer. Starfleet is in my blood, and I’ve spent my entire adult life in service to boldly going.
Keiko and Molly are my favorite humans, but Transporter Room 3 will always be my favorite.
Just don’t ask who what’s in the pattern buffer.
I wish we still lived in a country where legal arguments are still relevant.
When half the social networks, such as they were, have been decimated via illegal orders and people who don’t have legal authority are allowed to do as they please, fire who they please, and confiscate funding as they please, laws mean nothing unless you’re poor or in the “out” group.
It’s a taco with beans!
These people have no issues holding multiple conflicting opinions.
Here’s the thing…
And nobody suggested it did.
But the argument of “it’s more unsafe” doesn’t apply, that was my whole point.
If one thing is less unsafe than another, why the fuck WOULDN’T you want to switch the the DEMONSTRABLY LESS UNSAFE THING
The safety aspects alone SHOULD be enough to convince people, yet here we are.
The difference between nuclear-power- related disasters and fossil fuel related disasters is astronomical.
And honestly the amount of radioactive isotopes that get spewed out from burning coal day in day out for decades on end absolutely dwarfs the amount of radioactivity released from nuclear disasters.

generates about a truckload a year (20-30 tons) of spent fuel
Is that spent fuel or just waste in general? I have seen “20 tons” used for both here and there, and there’s a big difference between them IMO.
Fuel is much more dangerous than, say, a piece of equipment that was exposed to something, but both will be stored as “nuclear waste”. Not that I’m saying the equipment is “safe” but the likelihood of a disaster occurring because a barrel of irradiated equipment busted open vs a barrel of spent fuel…
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
Tell me you don’t understand the energy density of nuclear fuel without telling me…
A lot of comments here are displaying their ignorance of nuclear technology.
Keep eating up the oil company talking points, I guess. “hey guys remember those nuclear meltdowns from outdated reactors that had all kinds of things going wrong because of poor design and decision making, most of which is no longer an issue? Yeah things blow up so better keep chugging away at those fossil fuels while we sabotage any investments into renewables”
I mean goddamn, the “worst” disaster in the USA was a big nothing burger that was sensationalized by newspapers that knew how to sell a headline, and oil companies that knew how to leverage any sort of negative press to their advantage.
When the fallout from nuclear disasters doesn’t come close to the amount of radiation out off by burning and refining fossil fuels, there is no argument.
Oh look, another armchair expert going in about how nuclear is a waste of time and effort, literally using the same argument that oil companies have been using to keep nuclear away.
“oh it’s so sooper dooper dangerous, you should invest in renewables” lobbies the shit out of nations to keep wind and solar projects from taking off
I take issue with the title.
The term “new MAGA bosses” says “these ARE their new bosses and the staff aren’t letting THEIR NEW BOSSES in”
Ajent Ornj doesn’t have the authority to place these goons into the library of congress, therefore THEY ARE NOT BOSSES, new or otherwise. They are THUGS trying to break into a library after being told to leave, because they are there to ruin any positive thing there and burn half the contents. Figuratively or a literal bonfire, doesn’t matter.
Suggested new title: LIBRARY OF CONGRESS STAFF TURN AWAY MAGA THUGS WHO CLAIM AUTHORITY WHERE NONE EXISTS
They get to send strongly worded letters to formally request that other nations possibly consider the contents of.
Or possibly maybe at some point in the future face slight financial consequences.
They’re protesters with guns that refuse to use the guns to actually help people unless it’s inside the extremely narrow scope of their rules.
When you’re dealing with a person that refuses to listen to anyone around them, holding an intervention is useless. Discussing the problems don’t help unless the person doing something wrong is willing to listen to the people they hate.
im guessing some people have political reasons to dislike russia
If you consider trying to genocide a neighboring country “political reasons” I guess.
I’ve meditated a lot.
I’ve done a few drugs.

That one I think is more “the people in charge figured they would all be dead before it became a problem”
I fully expect that if the cure for aging was discovered, billionaires would suddenly care a LOT more about climate change.
It’s become very clear over the last 20 years that most people in charge all just assumed everything would continue to coast, the status quo would never change, and have absolutely no idea what to do when someone grabs the steering wheel and jerks it into the oncoming lanes.
I’m sure they will.
And as long as none of them try profiting off it, Nintendo has no leg to stand on with their usual C&D bullshit.
The spectacle of it would certainly boost sales for a little bit. How much and whether it covers the development time, who knows.
I’d do it on principle alone, but I’m a petty bitch.
I had exactly 0 intention of ever buying anything from Adobe.
Inkscape gave me an alternative to the high seas. And it happens to do everything I need it to, although it’s way more powerful than the simple vector graphics conversions I use it for.
10/10, Adobe never lost money from me getting Inkscape. They lost the game before they knew I was a player.
