Joe Rogan is the single reason I won't touch anything Spotify with a 20 feet pole anymore.

Your opinion is not really appreciated here with the nuclear industry trying to capitalise on the renaissance that seems to be fashionable these days. But I fully agree with your assessment, China is of course building nuclear plants, but have also seen the light in the sense that they are building more renewable generation capacity than all other generation sources combined.

Nuclear will not make a full ‘come back’, literally no one in their right mind is going to invest in 15 year projects when grid connected battery capacity is tripling every 6 months.

Except nuclear does not scale, especially not downward. Because any safety measures that have become standard, are required also on the smaller reactors. Except there, they cost relatively more per kWh output when compared to large plants.

I don’t really see this going to work, renewables are continuing to become cheaper and cheaper, and do scale.

But, I’d like to be pleasantly surprised.

Meanwhile, he gets another shot at being in the news cycle. This is the mofo’s M.O.: say outrageous shit, end up in the news cycle for another 24 hours, so that your opponent is not in the news…

The Republicans are creating a whole group of voters who are the opposite of WOKE: Deliberately Uninformed with Misguided Beliefs (DUMB). And it’s contagious, as being DUMB spreads like wildfire under right wing voters.

Please don't! Look up what happened in 2000, setting the stage for unprecedented misery under the Bush and Cheney years. All because some people thought Gore wasn't their ideal candidate.

Will probably get flamed to death for this, but... a few months ago I've decided to try Ubuntu on an older Intel MacBook Pro, just to try it out after many attempts in the past. (Mac user here)

Then I tried to use the trackpad. After 30 minutes of fiddling I gave up. Say what you want about Apple's UX choices, esthetics and business practices. But boy do they know how to produce a computer and UX combo that fits like a glove.

In comparison, the Ubuntu experience was like eating nails.

And before y'all go off; I would like to switch. I'm getting tired of Apple's business practices.

The entire club of billionaires are flying everywhere in their planes. Yet I only see memes about Taylor Swift and her use of private planes over the past week or so.

This could possibly not have anything to do with the fact that the 'conservative' movement being scared shitless about her activity to make sure people go out to vote?

Fox verbatim copied this in their headline. In the article they published on their website nothing about the actual fraud that was proven.

Of course, the revenge driven justice system is not looking for the most humane way to kill someone. The cruelty is the point.
