And replacing it with “fart” sounds even more silly. You’re not proving anything with this.

And I actually think Canonical’s approach makes sense. They’re not directly benefiting from the AI tools. They’re just making it more accessible for users.

No shit?

None.

Guess what - we already take up a lot of land. Put some solar panels up there ffs.

Can I send you the bill?

And geothermal’s a thing just fyi.

Same question.

Damn you’re full of useful information.

Most people think so.

Instructable? Cool.

Autocorrect on mobile is a thing. Nice deflection from the main argument that you can’t refute. I had meant to write “indestructible”, and it’s true. CanDu has several safety features and design features that make a meltdown functionally impossible.

We actually agree on that

I call bull on that, nearly every single comment from you is about how “nuclear isn’t safe”.

your nuclear blathering takes too long.

Words are hard, huh?

YOU don’t understand these are just the ones we know about.

You know what, I actually agree.

So the deaths attributed to solar, wind, hydro, and geothermal are just the ones we know about.

Edit:

If you had bothered to read the post you’re supposedly responding to instead of talking shit on automatic you might have addressed that.

I did, I actually clicked through the majority of the links you posted (the ones I didn’t I’m already familiar with).

The point I made was that you were just trying to gishgallop and fact spray without understanding the nuance of what you were presenting.

Don’t be mad when you get called out.

Good luck after graduation.

I’d bet good money that I’m older than you.

Nice list, but what you’ve demonstrated is that you in fact don’t understand.

You’ve listed out just about every nuclear incident in history. And I mean every nuclear incident, not just nuclear power related. A number of the ones you’ve listed were medical accidents (patients receiving excessive doses, and one incident where a medical device being dismantled was done improperly), or accidental exposure from orphaned sources.

The reality is that there have been no deaths from nuclear power generation in this millennium.

Excluding Chernobyl, 90% of all radiation-exposure deaths from nuclear generation happened before 1962. If we include Chernobyl, then that jumps to 1986 (the year of Chernobyl).

After Chernobyl, there were 5 deaths from radiation exposure, and none after 2000.

Modern nuclear is extremely safe.

The reason all of those incidents have their own Wikipedia pages is because incidents/accidents in a global scale are very rare, and when they do happen it’s a full-blown investigation with extensive reports. Even for a minor alert of elevated radiation readings by the nuclear facility.

If you had bothered to read the links you posted, instead of copying and pasting from Wikipedia (or wherever you copied from) you would have understood that.

None were worse than Hiroshima

Do… do you think that “Hiroshima” was a nuclear power plant that “accidentally exploded”, as opposed to a purpose built weapon?

Okay? Fuck you too, I guess?

The point they were making was that there is a proven long standing history of “other players” like the oil industry heavily astroturfing against nuclear, because they wanted to protect their own industry from a better alternative.

So you were heavily propagandized as a child.

Seems like you were literally the one propagandized. Only people who are misinformed are so against nuclear.

Yay? Am I supposed to give nuclear a point because “only” the environment and animal life was trashed?

You’re missing the part where Fukushima and Chernobyl were the only major/catastrophic nuclear power accidents in history (edit: aside from a wild one from the 50s before we really understood nuclear energy). And both of them were a result of both bad policy and, more importantly, bad tech/design.

Chernobyl was especially stupid on literally every level possible.

And, like I said earlier but you seem to have “forgotten”, nuclear is safer (has caused less deaths) than ALL other forms of power generation (including renewables) other than solar. And it’s almost on par with solar.

Everything has trade-offs.

Solar needs a LOT of land, works only during the day. Less effective the further north/south you get from the equator.

Wind only works well in certain regions, and requires a significant amount of concrete to build.

Wave power generation only works along coastlines or out at sea. And transmitting that power to where it’s needed isn’t easy and is costly.

Hydro dams are extremely limited to where they can be built, and transitional designs are extremely damaging (although newer types are much better)

Nuclear plants can be built just about anywhere. And newer designs are extremely safe. Canada’s CanDu reactors are practically instructable.

A proper solution is a baseline of nuclear with wind, solar, hydro being built where possible.

How is it bizarre? Did you ever understand the qualifier? I’m pretty sure you didn’t, so I’ll explain it for you.

It “wasn’t that bad” in regards to human life, because no one died. The implied other side of the quality is that it still was bad because there was a release of radioactive material into the environment.

At least the Chinese market isn’t going to send Trumps gestapo after me because I said I don’t like fascists.

You realize there are “Chinese police stations” within Canada, right?

The two Michaels gives me serious pause to even consider visiting China again. I’ve been there before and even have extended family from there.

I know how safe they haven’t been

No, you really don’t.

Compare what you think you know with the reality of how nuclear power is used all over the world and safely.

Even Fukushima wasn’t that bad in terms of human casualties. It was the tsunami that caused all the loss of life and damage.

Not to say that the Fukushima nuclear incident wasn’t a disaster. But there were no direct deaths from it, and as far as anyone knows, no one has died of even indirect causes.

And there are a LOT of operating nuclear plants all over the world.

Edit: nuclear power generation has the 2nd least amount of deaths attributed to it out of all energy sources, beaten only by solar and only by a small margin.

There’s a huge anti-nuclear crowd

Which was grass-rooted by oil companies back in the 70s.

You’re putting words in my mouth. I was speaking in generalities about physical connections, not specifically about fibre.

Where? In the US? It’s already been paid for multiple times over, through government grants and subsidies.

It’s still worthwhile.

Fibre deployment is getting cheaper and easier. Both in terms of cost of materials and in the equipment and labour skills.

It’s also much more secure from interference and disruption.

For populated areas, there’s zero justification to rollout wireless over fibre lines. And most major cities already have fibre in most, or many, areas. And the thing with fibre is that the physical lines can be used to deploy faster speeds with upgraded endpoints.

Tech bros would have you think physical connections aren’t a good choice anymore, because laying down fibre isn’t sexy enough for that VC money.

With cable here I’m “supposed” to get “up to” 1000mbs down but my upload speed is at best 40.

Man, you get 40 up? I’m stuck on 30 up. And the funny thing is that just on the other side of the creek on the other side of my street is where they stopped the fibre rollout.

I thought that guy AL Jippity was just doing a ton of work. Like a 10,000x dev.

somewhere, between you and the server you are connected to, the bandwidth is shared.

But the difference here is that on a fibre connection the shared portion goes over higher speed trunks which gives you most of that 1Gbps bandwidth. A wireless connection has a limited number of slices in the same band that it can share.

It’s the same issue with too many people on a single WiFi connection.

Musk wants control over the entire internet.

This is the number one reason my friend and I refused to even consider StarLink. We don’t live in the US and do not want all our traffic going through there.
