Gotta make glue somehow

Hard disagree

Full stack developer. Our stack is soggy cheese.

Then the emissions from building a new one.

In Russia’s case, depending on how things go, that many not apply all that much.

If things go far enough it might lead to Ukraine striking construction sites of oil refineries. Still not great, but much less worse than an actual running refinery.

Yes, China counts as humanity.

What that graph does not show is the reduced production of solar and wind. That means that overall there is less power being generated by green sources. So they are overall producing more greenhouse gasses than if they had just gone full solar and wind.

It seems you’ve missed the point.

We as in humanity. The majority of nations are capitalist nations, and all nations use currency, which means opportunity cost.

Every state and power utility that is considering what to allocate their money on is going to choose the bare minimum it takes to keep the lights on. That means going the cheapest, not doing the most.

China may have a lower opportunity cost due to the tighter control over the economy, but they’re still paying it. China is not in the perfect world situation either. They’re just sacrificing the opportunity cost.

They may take different materials, but until we escape capitalism the only thing that will matter is the literal monetary cost.

In a perfect world, we would be doing both side by side because of the different materials needed. But in the current world the opportunity cost exists due to monetary limits.

With unlimited resources, yes it would make sense to keep building nuclear.

But wind and solar have outpaced nuclear. You can get way more power way quicker with wind and solar than you can nuclear.

And what we need right now is maximum speed. We don’t have time. This transition should be happening overnight, but we’re dragging our feet.

It was worth it 30-50 years ago. But we wasted too much time fucking around.

At this point any money spent is better spent on wind and solar.

Thank you for this anus fact

Huh, neat. TBH I hope they don’t get any more than a slap on the wrist. But knowing this country that ain’t happening.

I live in the U.S., and with how fucked the country is with fascists and fascist bootlickers, I don’t know where my future lies.

I can’t really afford to move to another country, and I can’t see myself settling down in this fucked up place.

So I’m just stuck in limbo, and it feels like my future is being held hostage.

And climate change is just the icing on the cake. Shit loads of people are going to die, quality of life is going to significantly drop. Climate immigration is going to explode and provide even more political power to fascists.

Unashamed fascism right out in the open. Fuck this country.

Reminds me of The Left Hand of Darkness.

Why have one set of genitals when you can have all of them and switch which are used periodically?

If femality is stored in the nipples, where are the nipples stored. Maybe the balls I hypothesize.

I had a professor in a cyber security class go off about how you’re a traitor to the United States if you thing well of him. I remember rolling my eyes and wondering why she was drinking so much cool aid.

He did the right thing, but the concept of heros is not a good or useful one, especially when it comes to political actors.

Saw a student once using the term “Port of Guesses” unironically in a final submission.

Like, how do you fuck up that badly that you don’t notice that? I mean obviously it was just laziness, but still.

So now I’ve got a minecraft village named the Port of Guesses in honor of that nonsense lol

:(
