D works well. Being dead puts you in a decent "no one to fool with" category.

Fucker cant even do a prat fall at this point.

How many 4000MW nuclear power plants have been stood up in the last 10 years? What is their total generating wattage/dollar?

To give you a hand, none have been built in the US in that time. The closest ones are the Vogel powerplants in Georgia, and each of them is just 1200MW. They were also something like 17 billion over budget and 7 years late. Local residents are facing a permanent extra $15/month fee just to pay for building them.

Now look at solar. We stood up a 1400MW Gemini solar plant in Nevada in 2 years from paperwork to inception, at a cost of 2 billion dollars. It includes solar and batteries. It won't give you 24hr steadystate, but properly built, you could indeed make it run "24/7" at 1000MW by adding about 16hr of battery and 2x-3x the panels. This would still cost less and be built way, way faster than even 1 Vogle nuclear plant.

Commodity solar and battery are here and already beating solar while their tech just gets better. Why would we build antiquated, large nuclear plants at this point at all?

There is no form factor of power generation that could match nuclear on something as "small" and dense as an aircraft carrier.

Solar is a no go due to just surface area and the challenges of salt water. The only consistent things left are petrol and nuclear, and of the two, nuclear is better in every way but cost.

It is wacky that "hot rock make steam. Steam makes turbine go" is how like 95% of all civilization exists, but man when we stumbled on a winner in the 1800s, we just went all in on it.

100% steam. Steam makes the electricity, locomotion, desalination and the plane catapults go on that class of carrier. The reactors and salt water make the various types of steam used in the various systems.

Limitless water is a neat hack when you couple it with limitless heat.

That carrier is using steam powered propellers. Luckily the steam is "pushed" by a couple of large nuclear reactors, so it's got plenty of juice.

Websites are basic as shit to stand up now, especially when they dont do shit like 4chan.

They probably tossed that fucker up on wix.com. I bet it dramatically improved their security.

He lost to a liberal canidate named Bruce. Poilievre and Carney ran in ridings in different providences, but the ridings are geographicly right next to each other. Poilievre lost for the first time in 20 years, and Carney was elected as MP for his first time ever.

Hilariously, someone shouted out "Bruce!" during Carneys acceptance speech. Carney said he was looking forward to working with Bruce. Its being read as shade, since thats a gracious thing you say about an opponent you still have to work with, but in Poilievre case, thats not a problem Carney has.

Almost took a job early in my career that would have led to being an oracle DBA. Have managed to continue not working with Oracle at all the rest.

I may be oracle proof. Maybe I should give these hospitals a ring.

Tourists have to buy day passes or a discovery pass in Washington. Day passes are $11.50/day. They are already in general being charged way more than people that go to the parks year round with the $35 annual pass. This is comparable, but actually higher, than what hawaii charges tourists.

Hawaii's parks are visited way more by tourists than Washingtons parks. You would have to make the tourist pass something ridiculous to cover the shortfall, which would price out tourists, meaning no income for the park, meaning parks destroyed by Washingtonians.

$35/yr is a reasonable resident cost. $11/day is a reasonable tourist cost. Seems like Washington has made reasonable choices for this that reflect the states needs.

I'd also prefer this to be rolled into an income tax, but Washington doesn't have one. The state only has a regressive sales taxes, one that has an outsized impact on our poorest citizens.

By making this a "fee for use," it at least minimizes the damage to the poor who can't access the parks at all.

Ha, sense of entitlement eh? That's a quick pivot away from your weak point about "bikes are dangerous because of rare mountain lion attacks" i guess. Now trying to call me abelist and classist as a random jab? Sure thing, pal.

The common is the commons and has to be paid for. Without funding the commons falls to "the tragedy of the commons," where the common good is destroyed by overuse and neglect. Washington has opted to protect the parks with a minimal, once a year fee to the people doing the most damage to the commons, drivers, that you are complaining about.

So you think the people using a common good and doing the most damage to it should not pay for that use? Why should the poor people without cars, the people who aren't able to bike or drive, pay for your visit?

Neat article. Can you link me to one about the tens of thousands of mountain bikers in Washington that were not chased by cougars?

All outdoor activities in nature carry risk, some more than others. By far the most dangerous thing for cyclists is motorists, not wildlife. If you can safely navigate the roads to get to a park, your other risks are minimal in comparison.

Super fun and challenging, most likely. Some of the roads are likely difficult on a bike.Lots of other state parks that are accessible by bike besides those two. Heres a great list that includes a bunch.

Paying in $35/yr so the state parks can be maintained and improved is a very reasonable cost, especially with all the damage people and cars do to them.

Im all fucked up about the lemmy communities. I misread the subreddit list in a powertripping mods thread as a lemmy community list. Ill edit the above comments.

Im all fucked up on the lemmy mod comment. I misread his subreddits as lemmy communities in the power tripping mod thread I linked above. I've removed that now.

I think you misread my post. Im not defending fosstodon or carrotcypher, I was asking for more clarity about the issues.

Reading up on him in the linked posts, he looks like a big piece of shit that shouldn't be moderating a large mastodon instance. It's clear he abuses his power there and on the 50 communities here on lemmy he mods to silence discussion that doesn't align with his views.

You opting to "not look into them" is the same stance as the Fosstodon admins, and honestly, not a good choice.

The link above requires going to a sublink that is long but also very vague to find out the core issue. That link has basically no call outs for a callout post, just byzantine commentary about fosstodons overall code of conduct.

Which fosstodon mod engaged in what racist/anti-lqbt behavior? Where is the admins reply when they were notified about the above behavior?

EDIT: found this post of the mods issues. The feckless Admin response is here.

Shitbird thought he was a cop now and didnt have to follow any laws.

Nope.

Zelensky has already said giving away Crimera is a non starter. Since keeping it is Putins key objective, I don't see why he would sign it.
