Until those alternatives displace all of coal and gas...

It's not cost effective, but it's more green than gas or coal

The radioactivity from the long half-life radionuclides is much less intense.

Radioactive iodine is still dangerous because it can stay in your thyroid gland

You can still use newer technology to get rid of the most potent LLFPs, though

There are always new techniques and improvements. If you look at the current state, we haven't even had a slowdown

The amount of waste is tiny. Coal plants cause more radiation than nuclear plants because of tiny amounts of radioactive matter in coal. You need to burn so much coal the amount of radioactivity is higher per unit of energy.

Until we shut down all coal plants we shouldn't even think about closing nuclear plants

Cats rely more on their acute hearing to be aware of who is in the room. I'm sure if you play a cat video on TV it will get a reaction

When my cat looks at her reflection and makes noises at the "other cat" on the other side if the mirror, I'm pretty sure she's not aware of how she looks like

Desktop mode is kind of funky, though. You need to open steam to type on the on-screen keyboard, lol. App store got patched and it's better, but sometimes the apps get stuck downloading and I need to open up the command line to make them install

It used to take a computer with a ton of ptocessors to beat the best human. Now your phone can do it. When your most common tasks can be done on a phone NPU, and fewer GPUs need to be in the cloud it will get more efficient

Yes, I believe it. But when I went to urgent care with my ex, they got her in in about an hour.

Overall, my experience with the US system is that it's on average faster than the Canadian one if you need urgent care.

I bought the same things from the same store in 2017 as today. The $5.99 yogurt is now $7.99

There's two different brands, 4 lbs and 5 lbs and they have the same price

Other things went up similarly, like half a gallon of organic milk was $4.99 and now it's $5.99

I did not see a single thing that went up 50%, not one

Vault number 98, 2k, 2003, 7, 8, 10, 11

It puts out literally zero carbon. Once you build a nuclear plant it's 100% green after the construction

Source on inflation being underestimated?

Also if something like housing grows in price faster than inflation, then something else has to grow slower than inflation for the inflation number to be what it is. No matter what category you pick that grew faster than inflation, it doesn't matter to the overall increase in prices by definition

For example, grocery prices have increased slower than inflation. It doesn't actually make my argument any stronger, since it just means other things increased faster

For a blood clot I've had to wait like 16 hours in Canada, but that's because for every examination and consultation you had to wait in a separate queue. Like talk to a doctor after 8 hours, get assigned to wait for a ultrasound, wait another two hours, go into the room, wait half an hour for a resident, become a test subject for half an hour, get a real doctor later, wait for them to consult me for another few hours, wait another hour for the script, etc.

In the US at least they did everything in one shot for my first blood clot, after it my wait they did everything in one go and let me go

It was four hours in the US. Trust me, staying in the hospital until 1 am is way different than sitting until the morning in a plastic chair

For propaganda, they reported the girl dying right away

Doesn't let you just do whatever you want. I turned off the windows firewall in windows 7 and went on with my life. Windows 11 wouldn't let me download updates with the firewall off.

Unusable on a hard drive, would just freeze while scanning all your files. Wouldn't let you turn it off

I'll tell you why I use it: to use open source software. I noticed whatever freemium program I used on Windows that was cool eventually got enshittified and became spyware. Like fucking clockwork, the author of uTorrent sold out and all the new versions became cancer

Linux has better support for a lot of open source software, you can use a package manager to download most of it, and flatpak for a bunch that's not there

It's just so much easier than trying to find the official site for the program you want.
