I am very confused now, you link to articles talking about storage pool issues, but I never mentioned storage pools.

I am talking about what they are doing in Finland.

They have drilled a very deep hole in the bedrock, built vaults where they will put cey casks of nuclear waste, then they will backfill the hole and tunnels with clay.

This is how you do it.

No one considers a storage pool as permanent storage.

Which crisis is the most important to manage in the short term.

Climate change, nuclear power gives us a huge tool to deal with it by shutting down fossil furl plants.

If we fail the climate change, the nuclear waste will be a tiny problem to deal with.

With nuclear power we at least give people a problem they can deal with, climate change is far, far worse.

The ammount of radioactive waste is tiny relative to normal dumps, and as described before, it is easy to deal with, dig a deep hole, put the waste in it, refill it.

Boom problem solved.

CO2 from fossil plats will keep up climate change for centuries.

I feel the exact way about you in this thread.

Because we need the baseload, even a huge wind or solar farm can provide the stable baseload.

In my first comment, I suggested that we would build a facility large enough to handle global nuclear waste.

Scandinavia is geographically stable and has been politically stable for a long time, I can think of no better place for a global nuclear waste storage facility.

Meteors is just s dumb risk to consider in this case, any meteor capable of breaching an underground nuclear waste will cause far worse problems than the nuclear material will.

The baltic isn’t that tidal either, so tidal waves can be disregarded.

Earthquakes have happened here, but they are few and far between.

I recommend that you watch the BBC Horizon Documentary “Nuclear Nightmares” that talks about our fear of radiation.

An idea I have thought about, nuclear boosted geothermal power.

Geothermal power normally just use a simple borehole with a hose going down and then up again, coolant goes in the hole, gets heated up a few degrees and the can then be processed to heat a house.

What if we could run tubes near the nuclear waste that will keep producing heat for thousands of years?

Nuclear waste is a solved problem, it is contained to a tiny physical object, all we gotta do is dig a hole, put the object into the hole, and cover it up.

We pretend that it is way harder than it is.

I live in a suburb north of Stockholm in Sweden, and I’d support the government building a large underground permanent storage of nuclear waste from all over the world (for a fee) in my suburb, we have the best ground for permanent storage in Scandinavia, we would earn money, create jobs and make the world safer.

The last plane crash into a building in NY before 2001 was back in 1946, when a transport aircraft from the US Army Air Forces flew into 40 Wall Street.

That was 55 years before 9/11, and 20 years before construction of the twin towers was started, it was believed to be a solved problem, which in context wasn’t that unreasonable.

Printing physical media and distributing it is a huge cost, since physical media use has declined in recet times the supplychains they used to rely has gone.

This has increased the cost.

Compare that to digital infrastructure and you have a cheaper alternative that has scalable solutions.

There is no need to print or really distribute physical media any more, you get the finnished movie/episode as a digital file, you upload it to the cloud shortly before release, wait for it to automagically get cached in the regions, and set the timer for release. The streaming service will automatically change the $video.enabled variable from $false to $true, and millions of people will be able to watch it at the same time.

2019 was a shit year for me, I got mycoplasma just before going abroad on a work trip, I thought it was just a cold, and remember thinking in the taxi that it was going to be a shit week having a cold the entire trip.

Well, it was worse than that, much worse, I could hardly work at all, and nothing I did made me better.

The only relief I got was taking a shower and cough up phlegm sonthst I could sleep, only the hotel reception called me sbout flooding the floor I was on (this was a fancy hotel), and when a technician came up to look at it he half accused me of “splashing and deliberately using the shower outside the bathtub”, something I never did, so I got terrified that I would loose my job because of that since I had used my company credit card (as I should).

But i got a few hours if sleep, and decided I needed to get into a shower again, so I did, and was very careful, but the reception rang again, and sent out a new technician, this guy was way better and actually took a look under the bathtub and found out that the sealing agaibst the wall was fucked, I have never felt such instant relief, it wasn’t my fault!

I got a new fancier room for the last night, and the flew home.

A week later I was diagnosed with pneumonia in one lung, and got penicillin, the pills were too big so I could not swallow them, I tried to dissolve them in water to drink them, but the taste allmost made me throw up, so it took about an hour to slowly drink the penicillin every time.

I didn’t get better and got to hospital, I was admitted and stayed for two nights, I got penicillin striaght in to the blood ans well as drip and finally started getting better.

When I was discharged I got stronger penicillin pills that dissolved easier and didn’t taste revolting.

All in all I was out sick for 1,5 months.

Then in 2022, that year sucked as well, got double heel spurs, flat feet and a bad knee.

It took me a year of painkillers and walking home crying from the bus every day to get it sorted, new inlays and excellent Brooks shoes to get it sorted

The B-25 bomber and Boeing 767 airliner are two very differet aircraft.

The WTC towers and the Empire State Building were also very different buildings.

So there events are not really comparable.

Checkout the Well There’s Your Problem podcast about the WTC buildings and the attack.

It is three hours long, quite rambly and full of dark humor, but digs quite deep into the time the towers where constructed and the issues that it caused during the attack.

I have had to say this many times lately, just because something is propaganda, doesn’t automatically make it false.

The best propaganda is the truth.

Since you clearly have no idea of how propaganda works.

There was a time when I thought about switching to Fedora when I ditch Windows in 2025, but the frequent release schedule of Fedora has made me worried if those updates risk breaking my setup.

That, or taste…

Thank you, I do my best, I had no idea obout the dolphin name, fun!

Opera is now owned by a Chinese company, it is just a webkit/blink shell and, I have zero trust in them.

They hire behavior specialists.

I was suckered into the shark cards on GTA Online, I worked terrible hours and it was my escape.

I bought shark cards for thousands of SEK ocer a year or so, not much in compared to normal whales, but I did feel the addiction drawing me in harder.

Then one day I had just had enough, and uninstalled the game, else I knew I would continue.

I am glad though, the money I spent was not wasted, it taught me a valuable lesson about what to look out for, and how to recognize sinkholes like this.

My sister worked at a dairy for a while, they both made the name brand version of cottage cheese as well as the off brand. They made several brands of cottage cheese, so you are abolutely right that different brands of product are made in tye same factory, but depending of the brand or country it was shipped to the recipie was changed slightly based on the customer’s request.
