Generally when a fact is established it does become the “standard counterpoints” people use.

You personally said “Nuclear waste is scary” - that’s why I said people fearmonger. If you’re informed you’d actually understand it’s a very safe form of waste

Also you said it wasn’t due to poor operation, but then state an example of a plant being poorly operated. If those were obvious and established problems that they already should have been able to account for, then someone dicked it up. Nuclear is only dangerous when it’s irresponsibly used. We already have accounted for the mayor pitfalls. It’s not worth saying it’s dangerous, bad for the environment, or scary in terms of waste.

Nuclear energy isn’t some half theory or some risky experiment, it’s pretty well established and understood at this point.

I also said people in general shouldn’t be so politically involved when they’re not informed, I actually said that because I shared and hoped you would be able to agree on that. I wasn’t demeaning you.

The coal industry emits magnitudes more unvetted radiation than any nuclear power plant will in it’s whole lifetime; as in, radiation is undetectable around a modern nuclear plant.

Plus coal and oil extraction has it’s own problems with radiation. Nuclear produces stable, storable waste that if handled and buried correctly will never become an ecological issue.

They’re built to a modern standard where it’s practically foolproof. Fukushima held up to an enormous earthquake followed by several tsunamis; that’s despite the poor operation of the plant.

The damage we would have to cause to compromise and get rid of any nuclear reliance is far more immediate and concerning.

Nuclear isn’t actually as complicated nor unpredictable as you’d think. They’ve solved ways to avoid melt downs such as the fuels being improved, the amount they process at one time, their cooling and the redundancies. The physical design of a modern station takes into account the worst situations that any given amount of fuel can give in a meltdown such as deep wells that are situated under a reactor to melt into. You won’t likely ever see in our lifetimes a station reaching critical meltdown and it not be because a government or private company cut corners.

Scientists are doing this work, they know what they know and they know what they’re doing, it’s not really for everyone to politically involve ourselves with when no one ever does any valid research or basic knowledge of science without fear mongering.

Momento and Groundhog Day.

Wakes up every day unable to remember anything, and can’t even leave notes.

You could call it “Stuck in the Ground-hog”

The never ending cascade of problems Brexit still drags us slowly through.

I haven’t drunk alcohol in over a year, last time I got drunk was maybe almost a decade ago…

I’m sure that’ll convince someone? Though it makes it sound like I used to be one too lol.

How people get downvoted for expressing their ant choices is beyond me.

I’ll save you with an upvote.

Do people forget it’s only non-constructive / offensive things you downvote? Not things you simply disagree with lol.

“JSON! JSON?! … JSOOON! JSON!?”

There’s me thinking I had stuffed up my pFsense config. It had me duped into thinking I was responsible!

The amount of times I’ve told clients to change their SIM or not take their work phone abroad only to be ignored like usual, and get called on their return saying “what the hell!?” We notified them, but just like all MSPs (managed service providers) CEOs or important members will just ignore us or criticise our advice. Now he wants to blame his family who shouldn’t even have access as you mentioned. If it’s his mistake, he allowed it to happen with warning, and he gave this to a family member unsecured, surely he should be held entirely accountable?

Nope. Politicians breaking all the rules we would get sacked for in an instant at work, or even arrested.

Great standards for us lowly law abiding poor folk. An 11k phone bill would kill me; I guess my taxes will pay for his mistake then. I’m so confused how he doesn’t feel like he needs to pay that? I can’t figure out how in the fucking world what I’d need to say or do or think to avoid being responsible for that?

It’s surely simple for him to figure out. Goes to show how warped morals are being protected here.

Same, so I gain my minimum sustenance to work for my overlord employer and pay my “well invested” taxes to the government who grants me this quality of life. How could my landlord live if I’m greedy and eat too frequently or varied.

Sorry to hear, I do sympathise. I hope things get better for us. I’m still figuring out how to pay my new 30% rent increase this month after five previous rises this year already…

Passing all those skills down to his Son-in-law.

Rishi Sunak.

They were shot on negative 35mm film, and edited on tape in that aspect ratio.

Only some odd scenes and shots were captured on tape, but it was mostly film. They won’t need to upscale any live scenes, but they would have to work on rendering all the digital effects and blue screen shots for example. As it was only ever edited on tape, it’s unlikely that the digital effects could be ever rendered or upscaled, it would probably need to be entirely reworked from scratch.

Very daunting task. Although, they did it for TNG. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Edit: Someone pointed out the obvious in a reply. Yes, of course they will need to be scanned for a better resolution scan. I already pointed out it’s on film, and even mentioned why it’s not just that simple. (Hence the digital effects needing to be redone).

Makes sense…

If I’m walking in a lake waist high to avoid brain amoebas, you’ll get the joke.

People seem pretty keen and impressed with themselves telling me! xD At least you got it was a joke.

Parasite Eve 2.

But not the horrible attempts they made with the later additions (that hardly followed the canon of the story or style anyway).

When someone downplays food poisoning in a school, and they’re hardly informed, you get this. Here’s your prime example of why COVID was worse than it would have been.

“It’s only a cold”

FFS.

I wasn’t being too serious :)

I guess I’ll be boiling the whole lake then… Don’t wanna get amoebas up my bum.

Edit: Bit weird several people need to correct this joke when it’s explained only above how they entered the brain. My comment indicates I wouldn’t be putting my head under water because of it.

Damn.
