Generally when a fact is established it does become the “standard counterpoints” people use.

You personally said “Nuclear waste is scary” - that’s why I said people fearmonger. If you’re informed you’d actually understand it’s a very safe form of waste

Also you said it wasn’t due to poor operation, but then state an example of a plant being poorly operated. If those were obvious and established problems that they already should have been able to account for, then someone dicked it up. Nuclear is only dangerous when it’s irresponsibly used. We already have accounted for the mayor pitfalls. It’s not worth saying it’s dangerous, bad for the environment, or scary in terms of waste.

Nuclear energy isn’t some half theory or some risky experiment, it’s pretty well established and understood at this point.

I also said people in general shouldn’t be so politically involved when they’re not informed, I actually said that because I shared and hoped you would be able to agree on that. I wasn’t demeaning you.

The coal industry emits magnitudes more unvetted radiation than any nuclear power plant will in it’s whole lifetime; as in, radiation is undetectable around a modern nuclear plant.

Plus coal and oil extraction has it’s own problems with radiation. Nuclear produces stable, storable waste that if handled and buried correctly will never become an ecological issue.

They’re built to a modern standard where it’s practically foolproof. Fukushima held up to an enormous earthquake followed by several tsunamis; that’s despite the poor operation of the plant.

The damage we would have to cause to compromise and get rid of any nuclear reliance is far more immediate and concerning.

Nuclear isn’t actually as complicated nor unpredictable as you’d think. They’ve solved ways to avoid melt downs such as the fuels being improved, the amount they process at one time, their cooling and the redundancies. The physical design of a modern station takes into account the worst situations that any given amount of fuel can give in a meltdown such as deep wells that are situated under a reactor to melt into. You won’t likely ever see in our lifetimes a station reaching critical meltdown and it not be because a government or private company cut corners.

Scientists are doing this work, they know what they know and they know what they’re doing, it’s not really for everyone to politically involve ourselves with when no one ever does any valid research or basic knowledge of science without fear mongering.

The never ending cascade of problems Brexit still drags us slowly through.

And when it arrives, I’ll smash it with a hammer!!

“Your skills and qualities tell us you may be over qualified for the position. We would like to offer you a role in management instead.”

They must be dishonored in the most honourable way.

And then another shrubbery, only slightly higher so you get a two layer effect with a little path running down the middle.

Please check out this KSP community: Https://Lemmy.world/c/ksp

They’ve got some lovely members who wish to share and contribute, however I feel I’ve let the community down by not helping post as much as I should have recently. It’s a shame to see such great people share, knowing it’s such a small community seeing it right now.

They’re real MVPs

Please give the community a hand and just share a random craft or screenshot you may still have; even a favourite video! No pressure, just help it with a bit of traction so it becomes more self sufficient.

Shout out to ilovecheese & obsidian & moeggz on there! :)

They were shot on negative 35mm film, and edited on tape in that aspect ratio.

Only some odd scenes and shots were captured on tape, but it was mostly film. They won’t need to upscale any live scenes, but they would have to work on rendering all the digital effects and blue screen shots for example. As it was only ever edited on tape, it’s unlikely that the digital effects could be ever rendered or upscaled, it would probably need to be entirely reworked from scratch.

Very daunting task. Although, they did it for TNG. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Edit: Someone pointed out the obvious in a reply. Yes, of course they will need to be scanned for a better resolution scan. I already pointed out it’s on film, and even mentioned why it’s not just that simple. (Hence the digital effects needing to be redone).

Makes sense…

It was indeed that, I’m guessing the missing mass of both of them must have been stored in the buffer. :)

Really good acting for Tuvix, must have been hard to only have one season as reference for the actor to mimic and merge both their behaviours and personalities.

Only watched that episode again yesterday, I did enjoy it. It was pretty cute that they both felt no shame for it naturally happening. But I feel they lost an opportunity to make something more happen as a consequence of travelling such speeds. Could have been a little cooler! :)

I’ve just watched Tuvix and it hurts to ignore how they produced two individuals with their memory intact and from DNA that surely is incomplete. I have to suspend my beliefs of course, it is a show I want to enjoy.

Though, I was very stoned and tired and probably missed someone’s psuedo science star trek explanation.

I’ve been enlightened.

Lower water activity reduces bacteria.

Not sure about flavour/texture however.

Good choice.

When someone downplays food poisoning in a school, and they’re hardly informed, you get this. Here’s your prime example of why COVID was worse than it would have been.

“It’s only a cold”

FFS.

Being in the UK no one believed me when I was concerned at school after hearing about 9/11. My grandad was in there, and it took us a whole day to get a hold of him to find out if he got out in time… 9 year old me hearing on the radio coming back from swimming after a trip at school that the Twin Towers got hit, I remember turning thinking I misheard it to ask my teacher left to me in the coach “My grandad works in there”.

Her eyes opened wide. I got collected early from school by my crying mother early. Then I understood and got worried. No one at my school helped calm me, thankfully I must have looked so clueless and confused anyway. I was an odd kid so no one probably cared or noticed.

Odd day. Don’t really need to explain much else.

So in answer to the comments on here saying kids don’t remember, of course they do! We didn’t just start consciousness and wake up at age 10 or whatever.

You’re definitely right, it can affect second-hand, even if the child didn’t directly understand.

They are sadly.

The man she gave a jobby to also happens to own a pro LGBT club too despite her cries in public about it…

Good on you man. It’s critical to work somewhere that respects people for their skills and work ethic. Not arbitrary expectations.

Similar situation myself.

Some places will understand. Many don’t. I’ll be either brutally honest in a interview or I’ll set those boundaries.

assonance

My excuse when I can’t rhyme or rap from now on ;)
