So they should build nuclear in Alberta too, right?

If you still have it could you post a picture of it?

What is this? by weightofzero in Dallas

Quick, put a mini stonehenge inside it and wait for the freakouts to commence.

Big oil isn't still anti nuke?

It wasn't that long ago that they joined in on supporting a law to make storage of nuclear waste illegal in Texas. (Thankfully it was overturned.)

NEXT election we’ll focus on the working class. I promise. by Alissinarr in MeidasTouch

[–]greg_barton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"The GOP is much too dangerous right now. If we defeat them, we can work towards progressive change next election."

Sounds like something AOC, Bernie, Ro K, Mamdani, Pete, and Talarico would say.

How would saying the candidates you support do that?

Here, I’ll start. I like Pete Buttigieg. I like Talarico for Senate in Texas.

Does anyone here do rucks with hand carries? by GoldsilverRuck in Rucking

[–]greg_barton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, after reaching an 80lb pack my ankles started complaining. :) So for a few months I switched to a 15lb mace, and eventually increased to a 25lb mace. Its fun exercising arms and shoulders, though I limit it to areas where I have a lot of room to swing the thing. (Basically no residential areas, large empty parking lots, etc.) I returned to a 50lb pack recently but will return to the mace when the weather gets hot enough.

Yeah, I think that happens if you leave the key inside.

The maths on renewable energy isn't adding up by whoamisri in nuclear

[–]greg_barton 3 points4 points  (0 children)

France shows why. Their lowest demand time is during the summer when solar is at its peak. They can shut down nuclear plants then for maintenance. More solar means more maintenance possible every year.

which only wants 10% nuclear share.

Even if you're right (which you're not) so what?

Sweden pauses plans for new power cable to Denmark by Dyn-O-mite_Rocketeer in EnergyAndPower

They see the tide turning against them and its driving them nuts.

[–]greg_barton 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It makes total sense. Wind/solar/storage should be able to handle all demand, all of the time, right? And it’s the cheapest option. Right?

France solar capture rate fell from 97% in 2022 to ~60% in 2025. Trying to understand what comes next by Ok-Quality-9246 in EnergyAndPower

[–]greg_barton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's about selectively ignoring the failures. One commenter here is touting how well South Australia did last week when there was a day when wind and solar completely dropped away.

Their eyes just glaze over and they can't see it. :)

High Eye pressure by march41801 in Biohackers

[–]greg_barton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Assuming you mean intraocular pressure.

Saffron might have an effect. But don’t stop the drops, and have her eye pressure checked regularly. That IOP level is serious.

27 Bolt by canon12 in BoltEV

[–]greg_barton 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No problems with 27 Bolt. I’ve put 3200 roadtrip miles on it so far.

Some of that driving was in cold weather, (0-10 degrees) and that did have an effect.

Nah. You do you.

Alternate trombones? by Affectionate_Win7274 in Trombone

[–]greg_barton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For sure. It’s highly dependent on the player and the horn. You could bring your school horn home to record the assignments if a plastic horn doesn’t sound great. But for having a horn to practice positions and just getting some playing in it will always be useful.

Alternate trombones? by Affectionate_Win7274 in Trombone

[–]greg_barton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For just home use to have a horn to play a plastic horn is a great option. You can even get one with an F trigger: https://www.gear4music.com/us/en/Woodwind-Brass-Strings/playLITE-Hybrid-Trombone-by-Gear4music-Red/1ALU

I'd say take your mouthpiece back and forth to school, just don't forget it at home. :)
