My NAS and the *arr apps aren’t getting out of hand.

Nuclear bros hate this one simple trick.

IchNichtenLichten, 18 days ago

I love nuclear

I’m not trying to be a dick but could you explain why?

IchNichtenLichten, 18 days ago

You might not agree with their left wing bias but you can’t realistically argue that Common Dreams is not a credible source.

IchNichtenLichten, 18 days ago

I’ll go one further, voting should be mandatory, punishable by a fine. The ballot should also have “none of the above” as an option.

IchNichtenLichten, 18 days ago

Australia too, I believe.

the “global elite” and its “authoritarian plans”.

Real “Spiderman pointing at Spiderman” energy here.

It’s a serious point though. Things like public ownership of utilities or a wealth tax aren’t supported by the vast majority of Dems.

IchNichtenLichten, 20 days ago

aren’t supported by

IchNichtenLichten, 19 days ago

Right right. Well uh that’s not exactly true, there are office holders who support that. Aren’t there?

First I’ve heard of it.

They’re currently being deployed in industrial settings around the US.

I searched and I can’t find any cases of such a reactor being deployed anywhere in the US.

“Microreactors for civilian use are currently in the earliest stages of development, with individual designs ranging in various stages of maturity.”

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_microreactor

The reactor you’re referring to doesn’t even have a Wikipedia page.

Weird.

IchNichtenLichten, 20 days ago (edited 20 days ago)

I’d say it’s imaginary if they don’t exist. Your claim that, “They’re currently being deployed in industrial settings around the US.” isn’t really accurate, is it?

Edit: some context I was able to find:

“The US has approved a single design for a small, modular nuclear reactor developed by the company NuScale Power. The government’s Idaho National Lab was working to help construct the first NuScale installation, the Carbon Free Power Project. Under the plan, the national lab would maintain a few of the first reactors at the site, and a number of nearby utilities would purchase power from the remaining ones.

With the price of renewables dropping precipitously, however, the project’s economics have worsened. Some of the initial backers started pulling out of the project earlier in the decade, although the numbers continued to fluctuate in the ensuing years.

The final straw came on Wednesday, when NuScale and the primary utility partner, Utah Associated Municipal Power Systems, announced that the Carbon Free Power Project did not have enough utility partners at a planned checkpoint and, given that uncertainty, would be shut down. In a statement, the pair accepted that “it appears unlikely that the project will have enough subscription to continue toward deployment.””

Not really sure how NuScale is relevant as that’s (or at least the project in the article is) utility-level power and not really the same thing.

They’re both SMRs, right?

I haven’t seen anyone mention Come and See yet, so that one.

IchNichtenLichten, 20 days ago

Great movie though, I should watch it again.

IchNichtenLichten, 20 days ago

You’re missing out.

It’s not an easy watch but it’s worth it, unlike some of the other movies mentioned here the shock factor is necessary to tell the story and it’s a story worth experiencing.

IchNichtenLichten, 20 days ago

Move on from the dog-murder shit already.

Nope, I don’t believe I will.

IchNichtenLichten, 21 days ago

Don’t let the British off the hook. Their hands were just as dirty.

IchNichtenLichten, 21 days ago

Thanks for this. I did ask OP for sources, in other words links to verifiable data to back up the assertion that:

“Has anyone who wants to “go green” without nuclear ever looked at the power output of these things?? It’s not even the same league! AaagggghHhHhhhhhhhh”

IchNichtenLichten, 21 days ago

Asking for a source just to ask for a source is called sealioning.

Good grief, no.

I read so much absolute bullshit around nuclear and renewables where people just write out their feelings on the subject. Asking for sources to back up their claims isn’t sealioning, it’s a polite way of asking someone to try and back up their claims with facts.

In this instance, OP said, “Has anyone who wants to “go green” without nuclear ever looked at the power output of these things?? It’s not even the same league! AaagggghHhHhhhhhhhh”

I want to know what they’re talking about. If they’re saying 1 solar panel or wind turbine has a smaller output than a nuclear plant then … well yeah, that’s obvious. If they’re saying renewables won’t work without nuclear then that’s a straight up lie and I’d like them to post sources to back up that assertion.

IchNichtenLichten, 21 days ago (edited 21 days ago)

So which part do you know to be false,

Re-read what I wrote, I was quite clear although I edited my post a minute after submitting so maybe you missed it.

You can claim I’m sealioning all you want, anyone with a functioning brain can see I’m not.

IchNichtenLichten, 21 days ago

I don’t need to reread what you wrote

Cool. We’re done here.

IchNichtenLichten, 21 days ago

Citation needed.

Watch out, some dickhead might accuse you of sealioning.

“Fireworks and tear gas flew through the night sky as masked counter-protesters attempted to tear down barricades, and struck campers with sticks and bats.”

That’s counter protesting in your world?

That ship sailed a while back. He’ll be running away to Santa Monica before the year is up.
