She was accused of murder after losing her pregnancy. SC woman now tells her story
  • It was never about saving lives, but criminalizing women. This shows it. Going through a miscarriage is hard enough, to now worry about being interrogated and arrested? I hope Harris gets in and can fix this mess.

    Skiatook HS pulls assignment on Christianity after Osage family protests
  • I wish my "Christian" brothers and sister picked up a bloody Bible and actually read it. They'd realize that we are called to take care of the earth, love one another, and care for one another. It's infuriating. Also, the blantent disregard for historical context and etymology is cause enough for apoplexy.

    George W. Bush apologism has reached a point of absurdity
  • "There's an old saying in Tennessee — I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee — that says, fool me once, shame on — shame on you. Fool me — you can't get fooled again."

    -GWB

    Sometimes, I miss Bushisms in comparison to Trumpisms.

  • How Does Your State Make Electricity? America isn’t making electricity the way it did two decades ago.
  • That is inaccurate. You can look up LCOE for all of these and Nuclear is right up there with Gas. Also, you can't have 10% of your generation be nuclear with solar and wind making up the majority. You literally cannot produce that much electricity. Nuclear, being arguably the most efficient source of energy and the largest capacity, it makes sense for nuclear to be in place of our coal and gas plants with solar and wind supplements. But hey, that's just what I studied for a living.

  • How Does Your State Make Electricity? America isn’t making electricity the way it did two decades ago.
  • I guess I should have clarified. When you do a cost analysis of per MW generation over the lifetime of the plant, it gets significantly cheaper. Cheaper than solar, or wind. The only issue is the large upfront cost of billions of dollars, like I previously stated. The cost of solar and wind is cheaper up front, but on a large generation scale, is lacking. Nuclear is the only solution right now to the climate. There is no other large scale generation that can sustain demand as clean as nuclear.

  • How Does Your State Make Electricity? America isn’t making electricity the way it did two decades ago.
  • Yup! Turns out utilities don't want to spend a multi billion dollar upfront cost, even though they would reap huge rewards, as nuclear, over the whole lifetime of the plant, is very cost-effective. But hey, let's continue to subsidize gas instead!

  • 6-month-old boy dies in hot car after parent forgot to drop him off at day care: Sheriff
  • I'm in the same boat as you. I was more understanding before I had a child. I thought, you can forget your phone, autopilot, all other excuses. But after having two, there's no fucking way I'd ever forget them. They're always on my mind and the first thing I think of whenever I'm doing anything. I check on my children while driving too

    Edit: I understand how easy it is to get into autopilot, and having understood that I do everything I can to change my routine. We take different routes, we stop and do something on the way, etc. But I realize that I'm speaking from a place of privilege where I can do these things and not everyone can. I recognize that it can happen to me, and I pray it doesn't. I truly am sorry for this families loss. No one should ever outlive their child.
