Transporter Room 3

I haven’t really been keeping up with nuclear news, so that’s actually a surprise to me that so many reactors are in-progress!

I guess I shouldn’t be surprised that the narrative of some is “nuclear is evil” instead of “China is beating us on energy, BUILD MORE TO BEAT THEM!” But oil lobbies really do have their claws into every facet of government… Quadruple down on fossil fuels and smear campaigns, money machine go brrr.

Fun fact! This is also how we know when certain asteroids smashed into the earth, because the impact deposits a layer of minerals and elements not found super common in the crust.

Also, sensing equipment that uses or detects radiation as part of its function has to be made of non-radioactive materials in order to not interfere. And since hairless apes started cracking atoms open, all steel is ever so slightly radioactive. They need special preparations to make steel without any isotopes present. This also means pre-1945 steel fetches a higher price in some instances.

That’s the whole point of things like this.

Make it seem super scary, turn public opinion against anything nuclear.

Usually you see articles like this pop up whenever there are renewed discussions for nuclear power plants. Not sure if this is one of those, or just clickbait.

Okay this might sound like conspiracy theory bullshit… But is there any major country preparing to construct nuclear power plants, or is there a looming decision about nuclear power over fossil fuels coming soon?

Because this is the exact kind of news article you see get pushed whenever someone starts making nuclear power seem like the viable option that it is.

Anything that makes it seem like it’s seconds from ending all life on the planet as we know it.

Anything to demonize it.

Anything to turn public perception negative.

“But that still doesn’t mean you’ll get to play it”

Well then it doesn’t exist.

And until I actually am staring at the introduction screens, it’s vaporware.

Have we gone on long enough to see the endless wheel of “HALF LIFE 3???” once again spin back around? I remember seeing a handful of these a year, every time valve did anything.

Expect nothing, and you can’t be disappointed.

some suggest that herders need to start acquiring private land and operating like other businesses

Yes, why don’t these poor farmers who have nowhere else to go simply BUY large plots of land?

Let them eat cake.

Oil companies and the ICE manufacturers that rely on them.

Changing production lines to EVs is expensive, and they want profits now. Not later. Line must go UP

My hope: increased costs make people demand domestic manufacturing, companies and governments actually listen and decide import costs aren’t worth it and move all manufacturing back inside their own borders.

Politicians like to bullshit about “job creation” all day, but this, massively expanding domestic manufacturing capabilities, would create more jobs than any program put out since WWII.

Can I get the N2 delivery system? you don’t have to worry about installing anything, just keep breathing and you won’t even notice the installation.

6 months probation??? What kind of world do we live in where such drastic punishments are forced upon such good people! Cruel and unusual!

Surely this poor man has suffered enough for trying to overthrow the government to install a fascist dictator!

You don’t even have to criticize them. They literally block the word from getting used because they refuse criticism

THE PEOPLE’S CHAMPIONS

I would bet that you’re all guys

Weirdly sexist take…

Every time I get downvoted, I move an inch closer to the exit door of this community.

Lol OK bye.

Nobody gives a shit and complaining about down votes is the quickest way to get them.

Guess what! Outside of a few custom instances that for some reason want to be reddit, the fediverse doesn’t track your total karma.

Unless you’re going back to keep track of your comments for some weird reason, the only time you see a down voted comment is when you get replies.

I could have hundreds of net down votes by now, but I don’t know because luckily my instance doesn’t track votes.

The point is, it’s a little number next to an arrow. Who gives a shit.

“gender is a construct”

My wife thinks it’s too bitter.

Of course, I only tried it originally because TNG, but I liked it from the start.

My sweating is genetic, my mother’s side of the family is all the same. I sweat at 300 the same as 160.

Working out for health reasons sucks, but if you’ve got enough reason for it, show that workout who’s boss. Spite is as good a reason as any. Staving off diabetes is even better.

My dude, I totally appreciate that you’re trying to help, and please don’t stop encouraging people to work out because it REALLY DOES WORK for most people, but I spent the better part of a decade doing all kinds of things, from yoga to iron man segments, and not a single thing was enjoyable beyond the small amount of satisfaction of having done something hard and finished it.

I dropped 120lbs, and have stayed relatively the same weight since 2015, even with all the other stuff.

So I’m sure I learned more healthy habits, hence the weight being kept off, and I don’t regret a second of it, I have no desire to try again.

The only working out now is biking for enjoyment with my wife. And also when she feels the desire to go to the gym, I go with her.
