Dudes house was a 1000 feet away from the border?

books ,

In all fairness. The USA has some fucking gnarly terrain and is sparsely populated.

Sending out a chopper team to get you off a cliff face isn’t cheap and is completely self inflicted, so I kinda get why they charge you for that.

Getting cancer on the other hand, shouldn’t bankrupt you.

I always feel like I’m taking fucking crazy pill when we talk about nuclear energy.

Are we forgetting Chernoble, 3 mile island, or even more recenlty fukishima?

Sure, nuclear energy is great, cheap and reliable… but IF something goes catastrophically wrong, like I dunno… earth quakes, hurricanes, tornados, floods, etc (IE things we can’t really plan for) you run the risk of not being able to fix it easily…

I guess I"m not a huge fan of making large swaths of the earth uninhabital if shit goes sideways.

books ,

A car accident doesn’t have ripple effects for those no where near the car accident.

I just think it’s absolutely nuts that, given the volatility of the earth, that we would even risk it.

books ,

An airplane crash doesn’t directly impact people completely unrelated to the airplane. Nuclear radiation has no known boundary. Just look at China being pissed at Japan right now for releasing water back into the ocean.

books ,

That’s fair, but you are assuming that the US, or any other nation with a nuclear plant will be run by competent people. I don’t have that faith. Perhaps because I’m pessamistic, but perhaps because I see people like Trump getting elected, or the rise of right wing, anti science, governments getting elected across the globe.

Ukraine likely wasn’t thinking they would be invaded by their neighbor and neighboring countries are now put at risk because of one rogue nation attacking their neighbor.

My problem with nuclear is that IF shit goes sideways, you can’t put that genie back in the bottle. I just watched a documentary on Fukishima, and despite the fact it was built on the ocean, it’s a nightmare of engineering to try to contain the shit show…

Look, I know I’m not going to convince this group that I’m right, but your also not going to convince me that I’m wrong… because you can’t engineer end users or nature out of the discussion. They are always wild cards.

books ,

I mean, time is on my side with this argument, no?

books ,

I mean it’s possible to be both, right?

I live on a great lake, and if Canada started dumping their treated toxic waste into the water, I’d be pretty upset.

books ,

Right, but arguably more when they have catastrophic failures

books ,

I mean, we are using less coal in the US than we were… and that’s without more nuclear.

This comment has gained me the most attention on the fediverse so I wouldn’t be surprised if a lot of these comments are from or directly related to those type of content farms

Does anyone else act more 'human' when solving captchas?

Whenever I have to do a captcha where you must select all tiles with bicycles, I know I can just click through super fast, but I feel like that might make the website suspicious, so I purposefully slow down like “Geez, this is a melon-scratcher!” or click and then unclick a tile like “whoops, silly me, thats an umbrella...

books ,

I worry about what defines a traffic light? Is it just the light or does the pole it’s on count?

More dog owners are questioning vaccines like rabies after COVID (www.pressherald.com)

More than half of U.S. dog owners expressed concerns about vaccinating their dogs, including against rabies, according to a new study published Saturday in the journal Vaccine. The study comes as anti-vaccine sentiments among humans have exploded in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic....

books ,

There should definitely be laws about vaccinating dogs against rabies.

books ,

My parents forced me to learn in case I ever needed it.

I’d buy one again in a heartbeat if I could. Love the fact that it was easy AF to rock myself out of snow banks

books ,

Not to sound like a dick, but you sort of sound like Matt Gaetz accusing Antifa of J6.

There is zero proof that these people are moles. I’d be hard pressed to find a white 20 something to act the part of a climate activist, on the behalf of the oil companies.

Amazon CEO Andy Jassy warns remote workers: 'It's probably not going to work out for you' (nypost.com)

Amazon CEO Andy Jassy warns remote workers: ‘It’s probably not going to work out for you’::Amazon CEO Andy Jassy told employees who defy his edict to return to the office three days a week that “it’s probably not going to work out for you.”

books ,

This won’t change until there is a shortage of work and a surplus of workers.

books ,

Yup. Finally cleared out my homebrewing setup.

It was just too damn time consuming.

books ,

The dude has been in front of a camera for most of his life. I guarantee he practiced this look and studied the lighting and angle of the other 8-9 people’s mugshots he saw. He knew the best angle.

I’m sure his big quandary was whether to smile or not.

Leaked Zoom all-hands: CEO says employees must return to offices because they can't be as innovative or get to know each other on Zoom (www.businessinsider.com)

Leaked Zoom all-hands: CEO says employees must return to offices because they can’t be as innovative or get to know each other on Zoom::Zoom CEO Eric Yuan discussed the benefits of in-person work in a leaked meeting.

books ,

He’s not wrong, remote meetings do suck for getting to know your coworkers, but that’s not a great reason for rtw

books ,

Yup.

What the fuck is the point of everyone mentions that it was “formerly twitter”.

books ,

Did you read the article? The virologist interviewed basically said that we shouldn’t panic and I’m a month or two we will likely forget about the variant.

books ,

.ml? I always thought it was for Marxist lenninist.

But that could have been tongue in cheek

books ,

Well. That was definitely something.

Meta updates RTO policy with stricter mandate, saying workers may lose their jobs if they don't show up 3 days a week (www.businessinsider.com)

Meta updates RTO policy with stricter mandate, saying workers may lose their jobs if they don’t show up 3 days a week::Meta, formerly known as Facebook, told employees that its new RTO policy would be enforced by management.

books ,

Given how bad this company is tanking, I wouldn’t be surprised if this was deliberately done to cut payroll.

books ,

Sorry should have been more clear. Facebook is tanking. Obviously meta as an org is fine.

Flu absolutely killed a grip of people when it was new.

It eventually became endemic and what we live with now. More or less what we have with covid. It will rear its ugly head every year as it mutates. Some will get it and have a rough time, some people’s immunity or vaccine will help make it less deadly contagious as it was in 2020.

Life goes on. Wear a mask or don’t, but we are way past the point of putting the genie back in the bottle

books ,

Sure but I don’t think we are in the pandemic anymore.

Again wear a mask or don’t. I don’t give a shit. I’m personally done with them until rates start to spike again, or for when I travel on an airplane.

books ,

I used that service but they jacked the price up so I quit and got Spotify

books ,

I mean in fairness, our local McDonald’s is paying 16-18 an hour… So getting 22 to do a job that most people wouldn’t want to do and forces you to deal with people you’d normally try to avoid, doesn’t sound like a hard ask.

books ,

Yes.

books ,

Tbf r/politics was extremely left leaning.

books ,

Ah, you mean left left… Not left

books ,

I’ve got accounts on both but there isn’t an Android kbin app yet, is there?

books ,

I don’t see any mention of wetbulb temp so that’s kinda good news?

Stay cool my European brothers!

books ,

What’s the hold up? Lack of staff?

books ,

Ah, that will do it.

When i was a kid, I use to love ANSi Art and always wanted to do it. I would download ‘thedraw’ and attempt to create art like my favorite Ansi groups… i sucked at it, but I always admired it… that image on the right reminds me of some of the artwork that people would create.

books ,

Guilty

books ,

As a digg refugee, it was the same thing on reddits early days… I think it’s just part of the process.

books ,

So can Facebook harvest our data even though we aren’t on their instance?

books ,

Sorry, should have been more clear. Private data, like os, screen resolution, headphones etc… basically all that shit we saw in that screenshot a few days ago

books ,

Great. Thanks!

books ,

Love the eastern or/wa desert!

It’s it own kind of beauty

books ,

Can’t expect folks who thought Brexit was a good idea to also understand that sunscreen helps save lives.

books ,

I will also attach old emails rather than repeat myself.

books ,

How do I get access to the DB? do I need to spin up my own Fedi and federate?

books ,

So, if I’m understanding correctly… the mods from reddit, started their own instance are are trying to siphon users over to that?
