Another drop in the bucket for Nestlé.

I have to take my meds an hour before I have to get up because it makes me so exhausted.

No pain, no gain.

TIL the University of Illinois is Chinese propaganda. There’s a list of them in the wikipedia, but you’re not arguing in good faith lmao.

You obviously haven’t read these or watched that video as that’s covered. It’s literally physics.

Ideally we’d be doing/improving on something like this where modern nuclear plants can make up for gaps in renewables.

I don’t speak German. Generation 3+ only came into use in the West in the last 5-10 years. China has over 150 planned for a reason, watch the link I already provided. They are fundamentally built to avoid the accidents of the past. The standards set by the Chinese on this meet Western standards, hell, they are selling the tech to us.

More on China, because the YT link already covers this stuff:

This is for the older plants. The newer plants are fundamentally different (Gen 3+). There are ways to mitigate these things.

It was a resort, good riddance. If it was a museum/memorial it would be sad, but nah, it’s still just a place for rich white people. Those southern resorts always gave me major ick.

Welp. I guess I’m getting cancer.

Thread that explains it pretty well.

GOOD. BUILD MORE. The newer generations of nuclear plants can recycle their own waste and are basically meltdown proof. It’s a no brainer. Shit is literally alchemy magic.

LPT: add a lemon peel and honey to any coffee incl instant and it will taste gourmet. Add condensed milk if you’re feeling fancy. This is what I do for fieldwork coffee. I learned this off a good Brazilian friend, never went back. I always do at least the peel now, it neutralises the acids.

I left almost 10 years ago lol. It was always going to get worse before it gets better. This too shall pass.

Some scorpions too, just for funsies.

WITNESS ME.

re: Mistborn- To be honest, it is just Brandon Sanderson. I want to like his stuff, especially as I liked what he did with Wheel of Time, but his originals just aren’t for me. What has drawn me back more is the Discworld series and non-fiction other stuff. People love Sanderson’s stuff though. I’d like to see them as movies, I think, or a show!

Haha, that thing must be absolutely infested with bugs.

Funny, Mistborn was the last reading for pleasure I tried and I couldn’t get through it, haha. But yes, we should also normalise just stopping books we are not feeling. It is ok to try something else or juggle a few books, and come back to them later.
