“Sorry, I’m not going to have a battle of wits with someone who is clearly unarmed.”

Ok, let me tell ya what “Like a Virgin”'s about. It’s all about this cooze who’s a regular fuck machine. I’m talking, morning, day, night, afternoon …

“Can I just stop you right there?” like you have something important to say, and then just walk away leaving them confused as hell.

A Moka pot, it’s the best coffee I’ve tasted, I’ll never go back to using those coffee machines with the basket and the glass carafe.

Also, a really good chef’s knife, kept really sharp. I use a couple of Global ones.

I didn’t know that. So the ticket is still open for 11 but there’s still no fix?

Microsoft can’t even release a fix for Window’s recovery partition being too small to stage updates. I had to do it myself, fucking amateurs.

The best music sounded better, I’m not a fan of the harsh, over compressed and brick wall limited digital stuff these days. It’s tiring to listen to.

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

Nuclear bros hate this one simple trick.

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.

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’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.”"

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.”

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

Weird.

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.

Great movie though, I should watch it again.

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

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

Is this clown trying to tank the company because he didn’t get his payout?

Presumably your asshole rep is dead against this kind of thing?

“The gas and electric markets in Texas are lightly regulated and highly competitive, which has pushed companies to deliver energy at the lowest possible cost. But it also means that many companies were ill-prepared when the mercury dropped. To save money, they had skimped on winterizing their equipment. As a result, gas lines across the state—which has about 23 percent of the country’s reserves—quite literally froze. The spot price of natural gas soared to 70-times what it would normally be in Minnesota, and gas utilities paid a hefty premium when they used the daily market to match demand.”

This is why infrastructure should be nationalized, this should’ve been started a long time ago but that would impact shareholders and we just can’t have that, can we?
