This sounds really expensive. 5G as a backup makes sense, but 30 bucks is actual primary service money, not just in case money.

Make it 5 and I would consider it.

Lemy has such a hard on against nuclear

Maybe you should spend more time outside. Every flavor of nuclear has worse approval ratings than most dirtbag politicians.

I'm seeing reports by antinuclear think tank grifters shoved in my face almost daily...

Why do you think you need to PAY people to oppose nuclear? After seven decades of cockamamie “this time it’s different” schemes most people just moved on.

No. I’m not German. We run our reactors as long as possible because free money is free money ;)

Nuclear technologies missed their window. The use cases where they are the best technical solution now are extremely limited, and that means you can get the investment going to improve them.

It’s a curiosity now.

There’s an alternative timeline where Chernobyl doesn’t happen and we decarbonize by leaning on nuclear in the nineties, then transition to renewables about now. But that’s not our timeline. And if it were, it would be in the past now.

Surely you made a typo? 50 MW is a tenth of the electrical yield of the smallest PWR you can profitably operate.

Fucking finally!

I mean, I’m still going to get almost everything from the App Store, but it’s nice to have the option for the few niche things.

It’s not meant as an insult. It’s an intelligence term of art.

But yes, I also think you are a plain old regular idiot too.

The U.S. should work on fixing 40 years of union-hostile legislation. But yeah, fat chance.

Is even better! When a field changes from male dominated to female dominated, incomes across the field plummet!

According to the Breeders, the preferred etiquette for diving into hell is not a swan dive.
