Making electricity is dangerous. Nuclear is the safest method as per kW energy produced.
Why 3'000'000 US households need to rely on low-speed DSL instead of fiber? Because the ISP that hold practical monopoly over them would earn *too little.*
Same story in the UK, by the way.
Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan evacuate 70k people after a hydro dam broke... but nobody will make news of it since it's not #nuclear
Slavic languages are similar to 😂 Finnish in this aspect

This is a fascinating collection: This person bought an E-Meter (called an "Electrometer") and associated literature used by the Church of Scientology at a yard sale. The gallery has very detailed closeup photos of the device
Might be an interesting #HardwareHacking project

I'm not sure whats worse at this point progressives or communists.. how much overlap does that venn diagram even have.
the irony is I used to be very liberal and progressive but not like this. I think I've mostly come to reject those labels lately just so I dont get associated with people like this.

Nothing burns out maintainers faster than entitled users being a thorn in their sides. Remember, the maintainers have volunteered their time - their most precious currency - to give you something cool, for free. You're not entitled to anything else.
Please don't be That Guy. I work hard to keep That Guy away from contributors and co-maintainers on my projects, because I've found that exposure to That Guy will quickly burn out my friends and lose contributors.

Regarding "Planet of the Humans" by Gibbs and Moore.
Just read this rant against the film https://pvbuzz.com/planet-of-the-humans/ for example.
It's actually quite ironic (in a sad way) to see how wind and solar fans are now fiercely defending from *exactly* the same FUD they've been using to attack nuclear for decades.
And these PVBuzz guys have been doing it too https://pvbuzz.com/solar-energy-or-nuclear-power/
How does it feel to get the taste of your own medicine? "Worst-case scenarios" or "outdated technology", anyone?
