The costs of climate change are costs the people and our governments have to bear; just look at the billions in damage done by the recent hurricanes.

Those costs are a subsidy to the “cheap” fossil fuels we’ve been using. In fact, fossil fuels receive a ton of subsidies upfront too. Nuclear can be subsidised too.

I don’t have faith our governments will switch to 100% renewable, and any fossil fuel is too much fossil fuel given how far we have already gone. We need to actively start scrubbing CO2 out of the atmosphere, and we’re going to need as much power as we can generate for that.

Nuclear is expensive because it’s relatively rare. Economies of scale don’t apply to it as is. If we start building, it will become cheaper. Not cheap, perhaps, but cheaper. And it’s a cost worth paying. We are already paying the price for the “cheap” fossil fuels.

And I think, you have absolutely no idea how incredibly expensive nuclear power is.

Less expensive than whatever the fuck we’ve been doing with our climate these last 100 years. But those aren’t direct costs, so who the hell cares.

It’s dead now

But what if it turns out we do need it in 10 years?

All renewable everything is cool, but that’s also going to require a lot of storage for the days where it isn’t so windy or sunny. I think having nuclear to cover (some of) the base load on the grid will be very helpful.

• Where we should keep the waste, since we have not yet found a place for the decades’ worth of nuclear waste we already have.

Pumping all of our waste into the atmosphere is a much better solution!

How should we get nuclear plants running in any time frame relevant to our current problems?

If we had started building them the first time that question was asked we’d have them by now.

It’s not like the Republican house thwarted all of Biden’s efforts either

uBlock Origin also has a filter built-in, though you have to enable it. It’s under Filter Lists > Privacy > AdGuard URL Tracking Protection

It’s likely shortened from “At The Hague court”, so it works.

If you actually read the article it doesn’t seem to be about the money:

Mr Constantine said: “It was horrible. I hated it because we have a very diverse workforce and lots of people who probably wouldn’t be welcome in Russia.

“We had a partner of 20 years in Russia who never cheated, never lied, and we had to tell him we weren’t going to supply him anymore.

(The Telegraph doesn’t close some of their “quotes” for some reason)

Because 2023 wasn’t?

To elaborate: what Reddit did this year wasn’t enough for a (major) mass migration. I very much doubt even more ads will deter those that have stuck around so far. Perhaps there’ll be a trickle, but I don’t see anything happening like what was the case for Digg back in the day.

Is it shaking your entire foundation?

Figma resembles the word ligma. Figma on its own does not work.

We’re several layers deep into the meme

I believe those workers aren’t part of any union

Use an old phone, wipe almost everything off it.

Which they will surely do with no caveats whatsoever.

But most users won’t care to do so.

It’s a start

The physical discs degrade overtime. Getting 10 copies now won’t stop that, even if one might outlast another for a bit.

Very true. But if Reddit didn’t fall I very much doubt YouTube will.

Perhaps you and I might leave, but it won’t be enough.

That’s a big if though. Unless an actual creator-exodus happens, it’s not going to happen.

Oh no, it’s such a low reduction! Might as well do nothing then.
