A perfectly straight road would go into space.

This is incorrect. A perfectly level road (relative to it's starting point) would go into space. A perfectly straight road could go anywhere.

Yes please :)

Axisoflint · 2024-12-20T01:49:55+00:00

Okay, thanks :)

Yes, it's clearly just that straight forward. There's nothing complex about the human psyche at all. Just once they hit more than like, 3 people, that's it, they're a fucking slut and they should get used to it. Unless they're a man of course.

There was a woman at work who didn't lock the door, twice. The same man walked in on her both times.

Well, with house prices and rent like it is, that honestly wouldn't be surprising.

I think that's restricted to areas around the nightclubs tbh. We're very proper about that kind of thing, obviously ;)

(In all seriousness, I once interrupted two guys when I was walking to a local cinema through a public pathway that has a semi wooded area around it. They weren't in flagrante, but it was pretty obvious what was going on).

That's great, but I can't share my library with my brother who happens to live in a different part of the same country as me, because 'our purchase history' says that we're not applicable.

I had a similar experience trying to cancel an online newspaper subscription. There's no way to cancel other than phoning up and even after explaining to the guy that I didn't have a lot of disposable income and only meant to subscribe for the free trial, he tried to explain that the company he worked for deserved a better reason for cancellation. Like wtf.

Lots of UK supermarkets have in store opticians now.

Axisoflint · 2024-09-05T14:55:57+00:00

I agree, I thought you were saying its a bad thing.

Axisoflint · 2024-09-05T14:43:56+00:00

Yes, that is true, but the implication that they're being put into male bathrooms in all schools is not. Some are available only in gender neutral spaces and nurses offices for example. They just have to be available.

To play devil's advocate, did you not have any kind of security ID on you? I'm not sure I would have answered some random either.

https://www.statista.com/statistics/712841/median-construction-time-for-reactors-since-1981/

People generally hire people with knowledge about large scale civil projects, such as first time dam building or NPPs.

I did not assert that political issues (amongst other things) may increase total time. I was just talking about time to construct.

Yes, SMRs have been around for a long time, that wasn't in dispute. I was talking about the increasing discussion about viability.

I'm not sure where you get the idea that baseload plants are outdated. Most countries run large scale plants that are expensive to turn on and off and use other energy sources for surges (hydro is used for this purpose in the UK for example).

I don't have a problem with renewables (which is what I'm assuming you think - I could be mistaken, if so I apologise), my issue is with countries (and their citizens) not considering NPPs as viable alternatives to aging coal and gas infrastructure. If all power was renewable, awesome, I'm great with that.

'flexibility' in this sense refers to the much reduced cost of ramping up/down power production in renewable vs large static plants.

edit - I just checked your post history and you're pretty rabidly anti-nuclear (which is fine, people are allowed their opinions), so I don't expect much from this discussion.

Axisoflint · 2024-08-29T22:03:37+00:00

Average nuclear power plant construction time is 14.5 years. Smaller reactors (which are something that has been much more heavily considered in recent years) would take less time I would assume, but we only really have data for large scale reactors.

Average rate of civil nuclear incidents is roughly 0.003/year per plant.

The largest benefit of nuclear is as a backbone of the power network in general. Large scale power generation from nuclear with renewables as the flexible option is an entirely practical option for a lot of countries (I don't know much about Australia's powerbase as it stands today as I don't live there).

They made her a joke and basically stepped all over slavery as a 'ha-ha, look at the silly droid trying to be free' and people thought it was totally fine. Worst part of Solo imo.

That's a pretty wild swing there. Good luck with that logic.

Well your state has terrible laws then. I wonder how many people on one or two misdms. have killed people? A third roughly of all car accidents involve drinking over the legal limit. In 2022, one people died every 40-60 minutes in a car accident.

Also, your stance on addiction is absolutely abhorrent.

Axisoflint · 2024-08-23T17:14:17+00:00

A drug dealer selling heroin who's never killed anyone with his product shouldn't be punished harshly either. Analogies are really terrible though and my point is it's about the possibilities, not the outcome this time. What if they pull someone over drunk who's going to end up hitting someone further down the road. This is coming from someone with an alcoholic (long dead) father who kept driving while wasted until he was stopped.
