I'm 31 and I declare I'm too old to relearn the muscle memory. I acceot the occasional need to retie my laces.

Yeah if we want power at all there's a heavy carbon cost to it regardless where it comes from. Nuclear from what I understand is more compatible with our preexisting electricity networks because like coal it has big chunks of metal spinning to store energy giving the ability to react incredibly fast to changes in the network. Battery banks may be able to do this quick response, but the longevity of rare earth mineral based solutions although fancy has me concerned. Very little can degrade with a massive flywheel and the losses from nuclear to get it up and spinning would be far lower than say spinning it with motors as an energy store.
Long term I agree though, the complexities around nuclear don't paint it as our saviour. Maybe for now, and probably the next hundred years, leaning into nuclear is at least harm reduction
Why aim for shutting down nuclear power plants? The carbon emissions per kwh is the lowest out of all methods we have. Even with solar/wind there's a carbon cost from the materials and maintenence and from what I remember that cost per kwh is higher than nuclear over a long enough time period.
I don't think you need to have the largest following to have great value, even lemmy as it is right now feels great. I'll actually want to dive into comment sections compared to the endless scrolling on reddit.
As long as there's enough people using a platform for a variety of ideas and experience in topics, I think that's good enough for me.
What a throwback, I remember playing mdk2 when I was young and being utterly confused where to go and giving up shortly after
Absolutely amazing drive by Lando there, it's nice to see the upgrades bringing him back somewhat into the fray. Hopefully that continues through the season
With modern tech and low latency video solutions and transmission of telemetry, how do we not have auto VSC procedures when an incident happens at key locations that are deemed high risk?
I haven't watched the footage but I saw a comment about drivers not lifting for seconds before the contact after the initial spin. Surely this is something that's fixable
Come on Albon, I think he's missed his chance, but 1 more hero lap?
