I don’t think anyone has successfully negotiated nuclear waste import to Australia, though Australia does have some highly suitable locations

Right so the solution is that people should own multiple expensive devices. That seems discriminatory to me

The summary is steam deck is popular and runs Linux so it’s good that this game uses an anti cheat that works under Linux, and they hope that steam deck causes many other games to work under Linux in the near future

I play with adults, so I appreciate it when you can turn off anti cheat (to not waste the cycles it costs) in a group you trust. When I was running a server for thirteen year olds in the early 2000s, good anti cheat would have been nice

I feel like the limiting factor is the small intestine

Also the tax incentives

Also that’s the way life works. Life eats life all the way down until you reach the base layer that eats sunlight

Since life doesn’t like being eaten out usually means a fight (though humans have become great at tricking animals so they don’t get a chance to fight)

War isn’t right though. We don’t know enough to know whether they warred

The advantage of spelling correctly is people actually do understand you. When you use the wrong word it moves focus from your joke and onto the word that is hard to parse

Now find a football field sized area in a dry geologically stable location that is willing to take the waste.

CO2 clean. None of the good places to store nuclear waste are willing to take it.

chemical batteries are not the solution [because they have too short a life]

Thermosolar [is good because energy is stored in heat overnight]

The key is cost. Renewables and batteries are cheaper over any time period than thermal, much cheaper than any boiling water generator

No one has done solar thermal for a decade. Your position is so out of date.

The sea here is too deep

There are floating wind generators

You seem ill informed

Renewables for my house are on my roof. That’s not far. My nearest solar farm is ten kilometres away, which is also close.

There’s a lot of fossil fuel money pushing the nuclear cart. Nuclear plants take enough time to build that they are a good enough delay against renewables for the current crop of fossil fuel executives

It’s nice that the pro-nuke comments replying to you are gathering down votes

In Australia solar works so well and nuclear is so inappropriate* that now batteries are so cheap you don’t hear informed opinions other than renewables and batteries.

*because the Aussie grid on the east coast is a line north/south, and the population is too small, we can’t use the power of two reactors because too few people, we don’t want a solution where one generator is powering both Melbourne and Brisbane, with nuclear you need enough generators to be able to take one down completely for maintenance

For coal: into the air and settling into the land around the power plant. People who live near coal power plants are exposed to a lot more radiation than those who live near any other sort of generator

I think it’s a pro-nuclear energy meme, joking on people’s misplaced worry and minimising the danger of stored nuclear waste

I feel that pro nuclear stuff is trying to make people less interested in renewable energy despite a city being able to add more energy to its grid in weeks with solar and wind backed by batteries compared to two decades for nuclear, but also you need enough because every few decades it needs to shut down for months to be refuelled at enormous expense.

Wind power waste is inert, solar power waste is highly recyclable

They say “keep using coal and oil, because nuclear is the only good electric power supply and will surely come real soon”

Redundancy helps, but high precision engineering and massive testing means we hardly ever see a plane landing with only one of its two engines working

I feel like it was a joke; I don’t think Moebius strips are at all relevant to string theory

Most of this stuff is really not amenable to language, and can only really be understood in the mathematics that physicists use
