I don’t know why anybody would ever try new technologies again. If it isn’t a HUGE success (and even sometimes when it is), companies drop support almost immediately making your investment useless.

For these women, the liberty of privacy means that they alone should choose whether they serve as human incubators for the five months leading up to viability. It is not for a legislator, a judge, or a Commander from The Handmaid’s Tale to tell these women what to do with their bodies during this period when the fetus cannot survive outside the womb any more so than society could – or should – force them to serve as a human tissue bank or to give up a kidney for the benefit of another. Considering the compelling record evidence about the physical, mental, and emotional impact of unwanted pregnancies on the women who are forced by law to carry them to term (as well as on their other living children), the Court finds that, until the pregnancy is viable, a woman’s right to make decisions about her body and her health remains private and protected, i.e., remains her business and her business alone. When someone other than the pregnant woman is able to sustain the fetus, then – and only then – should those other voices have a say in the discussion about the decisions the pregnant woman makes concerning her body and what is growing within it

Some random Forbes article? No because what kind of source is that? I checked their sources and they were all dead.

Read this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dry_cask_storage

They have caskets that last for at least 1800 years today, with better shit to come. The whole point is to store it in a location without any water.

The timelines you state are also totally incorrect. The EPA specifically states 10.000 years in their standards.

Edit: I read the Forbes article, it’s anti-nuclear propaganda without any sources.

Read this instead: https://world-nuclear.org/information-library/nuclear-fuel-cycle/nuclear-waste/radioactive-wastes-myths-and-realities

Well those timelines aren’t correct. The EPA says 10.000 years and that’s for the entire storage solution. It doesn’t matter that the caskets decay after a 2000 years, once the entire thing is encased in rock.

The concrete degradation doesn’t really apply, because caskets are specifically made with longevity in mind and aren’t just made out of concrete. Causes for concrete degradation is also exposure to water and mechanical stress. That doesn’t apply in a long term storage facility.

And we still have examples of Roman concrete around these days, made 2000 years ago. There are also natural nuclear reactors which are contained, so we know in principle containment is possible.

It may take 100.000 years for something to become completely inert, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t safe much earlier. And something with that long of a timeline doesn’t produce hardly any radiation to begin with. The dangerous stuff is much hotter and becomes safe within hundreds to thousands of years.

I use the exact same pens for everything, they are great. Especially the different sizes.

Yeah the anti-nuclear crowd just goes and downvote all the things, they don’t even read anything. It’s kinda sad.

Do you have a source for that? Because that is not true. A properly built casket can go for at least a thousand years. The issues reported with caskets is where they’ve been exposed to salt water / brine. That’s a facility issue, not a casket issue. There are so many caskets stored around the world and only a very small amount have had actual issues associated with them.

Even with the issues, the impact has always been very locally. Not like with coal where radioactive matter is blasted straight into the atmosphere and spread in dust form. Radioactive dust getting into your lungs is a big issue. Water contaminated with waste you can simply stay a feet away from and be perfectly fine. And remember a lot of water gets contaminated all the time with a lot of different dangerous stuff, that’s why we monitor and treat the water we use. The leaks have been a problem, but mostly in the form of costs, not in the form of it being dangerous. It has always been detected right away and not gotten into water we use.

So they fucked up one time 50 years ago and thus the entire process is deemed to be flawed? Mistakes were made, mistakes are going to be made and as long as we learn from them and fix our mistakes, that’s just a normal part of life.

Look at any tech, machine or industry we have today and you can see how many people died and suffered for those things to exist today. Hydro power has killed over a hundred thousand people and has destroyed entire eco systems, we still consider that clean and safe power. Cars kill people every day and planes still fall out of the sky sometimes. I still feel perfectly safe stepping into my car and driving on the road. So you saying “hug that shit” is like I’m supposed to fear my car, because of the horrible accidents that happen every day.

I can’t find the source for you claiming higher cases of thyroid cancer and leukemia due to the leak of hazardous materials from the Asse-II mine. I can find plenty of FUD articles from anti-nuclear websites, but no actual peer reviewed research.

One of the things I noticed in this movie, which probably wasn’t even intended and caused by budget issues. But it takes place about 30 years in the future from when the movie came out and it’s the most realistic future I ever saw. Like things were different, culture was different, but a lot was just the same as it now is.

Like for example the houses you see in the movie are just regular houses, a lot of stuff is just the same. And that’s how real life is. The house I live in is 40 years old and will probably be exactly the same in another 40 years. I used to live in a house that was almost 100 years old and it will probably be exactly the same in 30 years time. Sure the electrics have been upgraded, the pluming, the windows are double glazed now etc. But the overall look and feel of the house hasn’t changed.

This is something I noticed in this movie and got annoyed with in other movies. Like it’s 30 years in the future, we aren’t going to demolish all of our houses and put up hyper realistic new ones over the course of 30 years. And even though houses have changed a lot from a technical point of view, from the outside it’s still very similar.

The caskets don’t leak radiation, you can hug them and be perfectly fine.

Even renewables have their downsides, nothing is without downsides, but we need to way them fairly and equally. But nuclear for most people is like the boogeyman and gets an unfair treatment, even though it’s used with great succes all over the world.

With solar for example we are currently producing huge amounts of solar panels, but often (in China for example) the waste generated with this isn’t handled properly. Also they have a life span of 15-20 years and we haven’t figured out the recycling all that well. Do these issues stop us from going all in on solar? Hell no, we need to go in fully on solar. But with nuclear (in some parts of the world at least) it’s like it needs to be perfect, with no outstanding issues in order for it to even be considered an option.

And just wait till you find out they pump deadly industrial waste straight into the ground using injection wells, where it just sits for thousands of years. Nobody ever makes a fuss about that. But putting some concrete caskets into an old mine is somehow a crime against humanity. It makes zero sense.

I ate rice with a curry sauce yesterday and I put raisins into the sauce. I LOVE me some raisins in my food.

We don’t have a solution for all the CO2 in the atmosphere, yet we happily continue burning fossil fuels at record levels.

And I wonder what exactly you think the danger is of radioactive waste. We have excellent methods of getting it into caskets safely. Maybe don’t dig it out of its casket and eat it? Then you’ll be fine.

Not to mention the dozens of ultra deadly forever chemicals we use by the tons in industrial processes. We store them perfectly fine and they pose a much greater risk to people of they were to come into contact with it.

It’s like we have this thing that guaranteed kills millions every year and causes so much suffering, but we keep on using it because the alternative might have some downsides. It’s so weird.

TLDR: Add &udm=14 to the Google search URL.

I love sauerkraut, but when you put raisins in there it’s a whole next level. For me it’s like perfecting perfection, love it!

Holy shit that must be some freak combination of factors. Thanks for sharing!

Very true, I would do the same and feel my stomach drop farther each time.

Hmmm command not found, let me just try the same command a couple more times, this time it will work right?

In IT teaching users to actually read and understand errors is always an uphill battle.

Hippety hoppety all over your property

That’s kinda the same thing tho. The entire scale gets moved up, because there is more energy available in the atmosphere and water to form and power storms. So when all the storms get more powerful, you get more hurricanes, because in the past those would not have grown big enough to be classified as such. Small local storms can more easily grow to become larger, having a bigger impact. And wind patterns can change as well, so it’s very complex and hard to predict. The one thing we know for sure: it’s bad news.
