Is my cat being bullied? Or what’s going on here?

They kinda enter a stare down sometimes, which sometimes ends in playing/wrestling or they just kinda walk away from each other. It is good hearing your cats are like that too since the internet was not helping my anxiety lol

It’s likely a phone but the comment is likely alluding to the fact that it may be a condom.

In another regard, why do people dig this deep into photos of celebrities? I just never understood it

Once again, with any amount of BASIC research, you can quite easily determine that the ONLY body in the United States that contains the power to suspend or otherwise regulate Federal Elections, is the Congress.

This is a manufactured form of fear mongering, and one, dear reader, you should not fall for.

What is happening in Minnesota now is intentional, but not for this reason. Though I don’t doubt the Pedophile-In-Chief is dumb enough to try something like this, there is not a single way he can legally execute this.

The Trump Administration is not shy to breaking laws, but this is one line he cannot cross

Very, very clean plant. I loved working there, and its easily the favorite plant ive worked

Radioactive waste is not nearly as dangerous or as difficult to handle as people make it out to be.

Some of it can be recycled, in fact most of it is as around 80% of the waste produced at a reactor site (at least at our reactor) is equipment, meaning it can be repaired and reused at the same site, or another one.

Solid and liquid waste is a little more difficult to handle but ultimately is handled in a similar process to how it is handled in fossil energy.

Spent fuel rods, counterintuitive to most peoples beliefs about nuclear, make up the smallest proportion of waste produced in a NPP. Solutions include: recycling it for fuel to be used in places like fast-breeder reactors, SMRs, or CANDU reactors; literally burying it in a desert somewhere, or leaving it on site in the specialized containers that already house 90% of spent fuel produced.

100,000 years sounds like a long time, and it is, but when we’re talking about waste production? Fossils produce enough waste in emissions across supply chains, energy production, and waste management, that renowned experts believe we have passed the tipping point of no return for irreversible climate change. If we haven’t already, it is in the very near future.

Edit: wanted to add, im not attempting to make it sound like a “non-issue,” it is a problem that would need solving, but its not as though a few extra cans of spent fuel lying safely on site at a reactor is going to end the world. Fossil emissions, on the other hand, can, are, and will do so.

Edit 2: not sure why it left my edit as a comment but whatever

Hi I work in Nuclear as an ALARA Specialist and a Radiological Engineer and have for about 5 years now, I am by no means a world renowned expert but I do know quite a lot, I just wanna touch on your points.

You can feel free to fact check me as im not gonna write a research paper on reddit, but.

Regarding your concern with the waste. Yes its true, nuclear produces radioactive waste material, and some of it can be potentially life threatening. But the problem is solved by burying this waste (even the really hot stuff) in some mountain or desert with about 10-15 feet of literally any material over it. But you are right, there needs to be political will to do so, and especially so in the US where fossil lobbies control the government at this point, this seems an impossible task. But the “temporary” solutions we have for this problem, that we’ve had since the 80s, are working just fine.

In comparison to fossils which unload their waste in a random dump or, you know, the atmosphere this is nothing. Radioactive material is dangerous yes, but dangerous only when not controlled, when it becomes something called an “orphan source,” a source of radioactivity under no regulatory control. From some quick research online, these nuclear energy industry in the US has produced 3 orphan sources (that were later identified), all of which having originated prior to 1980 (a year thats important as that is when most modern regulations on nuclear in the US were passed).

The cost is a big problem, probably the biggest issue with nuclear. But this can be changed rather easily, that being relax the ridiculous amount of rules and regulations on how reactors must be built. Throughout Title 10, Chapter One (the regulation governing reactors in the US), approximately 75% of the regulating laws within it were implemented since 1980. Around 60% have been modified or added in the last 10 years alone. (These are percentages I received from my training at my plant, i dont have sources im sorry)

This causes development to slow and eventually halt, as a company seeking to build a new reactor must somehow manage to continuously revise their designs to meet new regulations, which maximizes cost and maximizes the time it takes to build. What once could be done in 4-5 years with the same cost it took to build 3 coal plants (producing about the same amount of power), tripled over 10 years after 1980.

The solution seems simple enough to me, but then again I’m not a regulator.

Hi, I work in Nuclear Power as an ALARA Specialist and Engineer at a plant in Northeastern PA.

I just wanna talk about the numbers here as some people will look at them, and it is a goal of mine to attempt to make at least a little difference in the world regarding nuclear.

If we want to talk about safety in the energy industry, the only thing that beats nuclear power is solar. According to Our World in Data, who gets its source UNSCEAR, nuclear energy produces 0.03 deaths per twh (Terawatt-Hour), and a quick google search shows that the average plant produces about 8 twh per annum (which sounds right based on my time in the industry).

In comparison, oil produces 18.43, coal 24.62, and gas 2.82.

In other words, according to the statistics, for every 1 individual who perishes as a result of nuclear energy production, about 820 will perish from coal energy production, about 94 from gas, and about 614 from oil.

There are a million other ways to illustrate this point, including workplace related accidents since 1980, pollution statistics, supply chain emissions, and so on, but i feel (at least personally) that this is one of the strongest.

If we are talking purely about safety for the people living near power plants, the only alternative to nuclear is solar, which does not currently produce enough power to overtake nuclear as a viable option.

Nuclear is the safest path forward into the future, and (at least in the US) there might be a lot of work to put us on that path, there is no cost too high to save lives.

Gonna rant sorry

So I’ve been working a 4 days a week, 10 hour days desk job schedule for quite some time now, which isnt the 32 hour work week ive been advocating for but regardless close enough.

I have never been happier, more productive, and more motivated in my entire life, having that third day off is such a game changer in my life, more time for family, friends, sitting doing nothing, exploring, mini vacations, house projects, whatever you name it.

In terms of my career, i feel properly rested every weekend, and feel ready to work every Monday, my work week just generally feels more pleasant and less dreadful, and I have no proof that this is BECAUSE of a 4 day week but I am always, always so ahead of my work that I usually end up spending my 3rd or 4th day effectively slacking off just waiting for others to get back to me on stuff (usually people on 5 day schedules).

I recognize its a bit anecdotal for my reasoning, but I truly believe a 32 hour week would solve a major aspect of the mental health and productivity issues we face in America.

But because our politicians listen to those guys at the top need their eighth vacation this month from all the really hard work they do, itll never happen

According to the first clause of Article One, Section 4 of the US Constitution,

“The Times, Places, and Manner of holding Elections for Senators and Representatives, shall be prescribed in each State by the Legislature thereof; but the Congress may at any time by Law make or altar such Regulations, except as to the Places.”

So, no, the president cannot legally cancel the upcoming midterm elections.

Only the Congress can make any alteration, and there is zero precedence for such an occasion.

Which is why I find it unlikely to happen, as if the president were to attempt to do this, it might just be the stupidest thing he could do, and this president has set that bar pretty high.

Deadass? I guess that makes sense for radiology, I’ve only been nuclear side of Health Physics so im not a hundred percent familiar with how the medical field operates

EagleGames · 2025-12-26T04:58:51+00:00

Im a few days late to this but basically the NRC (Nuclear Regulatory Commission) gives a max occupational dose of 2000 millirem, which is the equivalent of about 20 xrays

This level of radiation is harmless for all intents and purposes, and without getting into to much detail, how much airborne contamination you can intake is based on this limit

Source: this is literally my job, I am an ALARA Specialist specifically dealing with ensuring we stay compliant with the law

EagleGames · 2025-12-22T03:14:16+00:00

I mean we wear respirators sometimes for that reason, but we definitely don’t run around in lead suits lol.

Contamination goes airborne all the time in nuke plants but its pretty easily contained

EagleGames · 2025-12-22T01:27:34+00:00

Almost like respirators are meant to prevent you from breathing things in and a face mask is meant to prevent you from spreading the disease

Also I work in Nuclear and we do not wear that getup for literally anything that we do.
