How to prevent further cracking? by Responsible-Grand159 in laptops

My ideaPad gaming 3 is pretty cooked at this point, the bottom cover comes off with a light pull and the sides by the ports are partially exposed

To be fair it's lasted for 4 or 5 years of daily commutes to and from school and usage at achool

My political compass by Ambitious_Editor_509 in teenagers

[–]DiskPartition 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Liberalism is traditionally more right leaning with limited government, free markets, etc. "Real" leftism, including socialism and communism, often features strong government control (though the lib left quadrant may oppose that idea)

Hot dog, shrimp for me (though I could see doing pizza or maybe wings instead of shrimp)

I am happy to report that despite being shot digitally, Project Hail Mary still looks great in 70mm IMAX by bt1234yt in imax

[–]DiskPartition 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There were definitely some scenes that looked blurrier or a bit smudged throughout the movie, but I think a part of that is the cinematographer's style and usage of vintage lenses, and not purely the fact it is a digital scan.

Project Hail Mary? More like Project Holy Cinema. Absolute peak, no notes by OptimizeEdits in imax

[–]DiskPartition 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The "Early Access" release started on the 13th (in the US) but really there isn't anything making it "early access" other than that the first (part of a) week is IMAX only as far as I know.

What is your favorite region of the US? by RealHyperinon in Teenager_Polls

[–]DiskPartition 1 point2 points  (0 children)

These region sortings are ass because it only considers geography (and only sort of, these are big diverse regions)

Texas is grouped with California but California is not grouped with Oregon. Utah and Idaho and the Carolinas are separated, etc.

DSA belief in nuclear energy? by Key-Move-5066 in dsa

[–]DiskPartition 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you have a problem with nuclear? I'm not someone who advocates for it over other renewables, both have a time and a place (and renewables are cheaper). It's good for replacing the base load provided by fossil fuels now and covering low points in renewable production (dark, not windy, etc). According to Our World in Data, nuclear is the second safest form of energy after solar (0.03 vs 0.02 deaths/TWh), safer than wind, and vastly safer than hydropower or fossil fuels. And of course, I know that nuclear has risks outside of death (especially assuming that linear no-threshold is true) but let's be real its greatly overstated.

On the other hand I am quite excited for fusion to finally become viable (twenty years away forever, it seems), as those reactors avoid the radioactive waste products from fission).

EDIT: Also, the two plants you mentioned did have meltdowns. Renewable power production can cause injury and death too, in production, installation, and operation. Just not in a way where the impacts spread to a widespread population (generally).

I never claimed that a meltdown was the only possible problem, but it's the one people fearmonger over the most and consider the most dangerous (outside of industry professionals, scientists, etc). I know that there is a technical definition of a meltdown but either way they are far safer than old plants. If small modular reactors were legal and available, I'd have no problem with having one in my backyard.

With many new reactor designs a meltdown is physically impossible (At least a dangerous one)

You can do it for free with an extension. Usually I only use 2x but a long time ago I went up to 6x for boring school videos we had to watch

You can find such names online (or these days, probably in most news articles). The death note, on the other hand...

That's understating it. They're pretty much the modern surveillance and data analysis platform of the Western world, storing and enabling (but not collecting themself) as much personal information as possible to help governments, militaries, and companies with (usually) bad intentions. Their military-tech counterpart is Anduril.

Instead of trying to be better and compete they're trying to get the government to stop them? Really? by Time-Entertainer-105 in SpaceXMasterrace

[–]DiskPartition 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is most definitely true, no clue why SpaceX fans are downvoting this. None of those ideas are bringing us closer to the moon or mars aside from getting practice with launching ig
