The reason so much of it hasn't been rebuilt is due to the contamination. See my link on this above for a description of the current state and the estimated $700B and 40 years that it will take to recover from the meltdown. Except when it melts down and destroys cities. Yes. And the only reason...

There are definitely environmental costs to dams. But it's also true that during the heyday you point out, the vast majority of the sites best suited to making reservoirs were used. There isn't a major river in California that doesn't have at least one dam. So, yeah, there is an environmental...

https://apps.npr.org/fukushima/ Yes, the very, very expensive controls that make it the most expensive form of power. Agreed. If carbon sources had to be as responsible for the totality of their environmental costs as nuclear power is, the economics would change quite a bit.

Sure, if you ignore the cities that have been destroyed, the rest look great! I still claim it's notable that this allegedly safe technology has destroyed cities and that the ones that haven't been destroyed were only saved by a firehose of money being sprayed at them, making it the most...

Android was definitely first, but ios has had it for over five years now. I speech to text anytime I can get away with it. (e.g. not interrupting people, not broadcasting my business to others, not in a loud environnment...)

The time that windmills are not always producing and the fact that night exists and solar doesn't produce are all part of the costs. The reason nukes are so expensive is because they are powered by some of the most toxic stuff on earth and destroy entire cities when things go wrong. So they...

Nuclear is a fantastic option for those annoyed by low power bills and want to see them basically double.

And on the flipside, EVs can suck up wind and solar power during their production peaks acting as, well, batteries to level out that load.

Bad enough that I'm still talking about it years later and it only cost me a few tens of dollars. I think objectively it was outdated to the point of being useless. When the guide is so unreliable that you have to call every place to verify anyway, then it has negative value because it costs...

Yes Yes

I bought a subscription a while back. Money I'll never get back...

Nah, Raygun seemed to have a good heart, never threatened the judges after giving her low marks, didn't steal anything from the olympic village and hasn't stalked anyone.

Thanks! We did learn a lot from the mistakes of our ancestors!

FWIW, the disdain for Gryder skews younger. While there is a broad demographic of people willing to excuse dan for threatening to run over police, steal parts from accident sites, wreck planes, defame people and stalk women, the people unwilling to excuse him seems not to be the old men, as you...

Yup. 737-Max.

The title card at the end says why.

I thought I had heard daily also. But couldn't google up a reg suggesting that. As @Salty pointed out, I'm sure there are lots of places that don't get visited daily, so it makes one wonder. Also makes me wonder about that ancient looking fuel system at Gaston's. I'm gonna bet it either...

Yep. And the title of the thread is a WAY bigger statement than the explanation. Maybe they will come back and comment.

Yep. 50ppb is where lead poisoning starts showing symptoms too.

He says that other guy has not done his job for a month, but he checks it himself when on shift. I was confused also and some of my response above reflects that. I thought the reg was "daily", but I agree with you that if it's being done every 2-3 days then that's a whole different risk profile...
