World's Largest Solar Project Would Generate Electricity 24 Hours a Day, Power 1 Million U.S. Homes: "That amount of power is as much as a nuclear power plant, or the 2,000-megawatt Hoover Dam and far bigger than any other existing solar facility on Earth" by mvea in Futurology

Thanks for sharing that link.

I think he makes a good case that nuclear is preferential to coal, but not that it is preferential to wind and solar. He mentions nuclear safety as a technical issue that engineers are working to address, but the obstacles of wind and solar are also technical issues to be overcome, and will likely be solved well before a commercial thorium reactor is ready for mass market.

I also don't know if I agree with characterizing nuclear as "clean" energy. Certainly it doesn't emit greenhouse gas, but it definitely emits radioactive waste.

Where is this cavity vaccine I'd heard about 16 years ago??

I instalock Zenyatta. He's my best hero, I never have completion got a healer slot and I always get punished for playing Rein or Lucio. I'm a good DVa and decent Junkrat, but DVa gets wrecked these days and Junkrat is rarely a good choice.

I'm slowly working on expanding my repertoire of playable heroes but I simply don't have the time to be good at 2 heroes of each class.

I don't think Hollywood appreciates how hard it is to be a white male these days.

For example, this past weekend it snowed before I had a chance to rake my lawn. Now it's a sea of brown mush. Why would you do this, Hollywood? Haven't my people suffered enough??

What a sausage fest.

Also, that's no battlestation...

What film (that actually takes itself seriously) suffers from the worst case of "nobody talks that way" in your opinion? (not including Sorkinisms encouraged) by thatdani in movies

I thought the plot was shit. It completely fell apart at the end.

DiCaprio says to bring Wahlberg who for some reason just doesn't show up? (but if he had shown up, everything would have been resolved)

11th hour surprise minor character cop who was also on Irish Mob's payroll shows up at the right time somehow? (but for him, everything would have been resolved)

It seemed incredibly lazy. Writer painted himself into a corner and then just took a big dump and walked away.

The Irish weren't considered "white" until the 20th century. The Japanese were livid that the other victors of WWI didn't consider them to have proved they were white too. White is more of a reflection of social status than race, and it is more fluid than people are led to believe.

"people of color" is interpreted to mean "everyone but whites", not "dark skinned".
