At some point the argument that consolidating more oil and pushing for more gas/oil monopoly would have been part of the play. But now, any unbelievably mediocre economist would just say the roi is somewhere 5 generations in the future (if at all) and the sunken cost fallacy is raping Russia liberally through all echelons.
Not really saying there is logic to the madness, other than some internal motivations (apart from delusions of grandeur imperialistic pursuits).
Unless he is destroying the watches and saying "oh look, I received these duffle bags of cash".
No, no, I think this is just blatant scamming.
I guess I could have just called you wrong.
I am used to calling people who have limited knowledge in something and jump to conclusions "idiots". Whether it's a one time thing or a long-term character trait remains to be seen.
The action is still idiotic eitherway.
There are a lot of triggerhappy people on lemmy, but it does seem that the general outlook is quite knowledgeable, and the votes do favor the verbosely-factually-correct.
It's exactly how KGB worked. It's not that everyone would be caught, or everyone was a KGB agent, it was about instilling fear so that everyone would behave out of fear of disappearing.
What in the fuck logic is that?
I am 12 and this is deep, and also I dont read news or have knowledge about nukes.
Wut. Cars have legitimate uses.
EVs dont only not pollute wherever they drive, but overall are probably around 70% efficient if including the power generation, while gas is 40% or less.
The others, I think you are projecting US problems to the whole self-owned transportation sector.
Maybe you're just a biased idiot? (Or is that antisemitism?)
Considering that Benji "Israel" Netanyahu keeps occupying lands that nobody in the civilized world will accept as Israel's (see Europe and ignore US), maybe the quotes make sense.
"Fascism got beat just fine" is a fun way of saying West front was exceptionally lucky, and the Eastern successfully smothered the fscists with meat
It's not whataboutism: https://www.epa.gov/radtown/radioactive-wastes-coal-fired-power-plants
You said yourself that concrete is not recycled, and it is upcycled only for aggregate, can use any rocks for that. Nobody is converting cement to cement clinker.
Keep idiots from breaking in to the mine that has "radioactive" signs is quite far fetched. You dont just accidentally stumble on an opened mineshaft and accidentally have keys to the lift to go down 100m.
I dont apply to a specific age group. From my personal understanding, as people grow up (and of course it depends heavily on education, culture), people will have strong memories from childhood and will reflect on them throughout life.
Hardships would likely cause people to not want their children to have hardships. Loss would likely cause vengeful directions to be righteous.
It's only if the losses or hardships (over their life) are resolved do they go away, otherwise, it is fuel for fire. Whether radicalized or not. In this case, I would like to know what you perceive as radicalized here. I would only attribute terroristic desires or genocidal intentions, or other inhumane (as defined by international law) goals as radicalization.
It is not radical at all to want vengeance, or to punish for pain inflicted. It's natural and even lawful if done within confines of agreed law, and many times required, otherwise anyone can do anything without objection or accountability.
Wait, so you think nuclear reactors spew out uranium?
While coal powerplants don't spew out radioactive coal ash??
Lets just say only one of these is true... and it is not the former.
They are not explodey, because they are by design not. The non RBMK (i.e. not cheap Russian, lied-about-safety-by-government) reactors are designed to literally cool off without any power or control, if all went to shit. You can try with all your expertise to make it explode, and short of rebuilding it you will fail. Even if you were to add explosives. At that point, just making your own nuclear bomb is cheaper and faster.
I think it is quite optimistic to think they will even recycle 5% of a solar powerplant. The silicon is not useful, hard to dismantle from metal. Additives make it unusable without special centrifuge processes. Take the easy metals, scrap the rest, use easy, cheap raw materials for controlled process. Most of the NPP can be recycled if you cared, apart from the irradiated reactor, which is a very tiny part of it. It's all wires, steel and other useful electric constructions. Nobody cares to recycle concrete.
I wont talk about storing waste, because I dont know why it is marketed as prohibitively expensive. Apart from it just being lead lined barrels in say an empty mineshaft (which there are an exceptional volume of everywhere). Literally enough space for forever, no need to put anything in the air.
- Not poisonous.
- Not explodey. Chernobyl destroyed all common sense and support for nuclear power, even though it was mostly terrible terrible management and horrible corrupt (Soviet) government that caused it. Nuclear reactors can't explode like Chernobyl unless someone purposely flips all the switches to red, does manual overrides aand it was specifically built to ignore all logical safety concerns.
The number of kille people by coal is orders of magnitude higher over the same period (lets say 60 years) per GW generated.
Any other arguments?
I guess we could use "Muskiness" as a special term because anything else is an insult to idiots, fools, mafiosos, and mentally disabled.
I think you misunderstand how people grow up and introspect. There is a lot in childhood that will give an initial push and motivation, and it is not a desire to live up to their parents or other adults, and their desires. As people grow up they desire individuality, and their own life.
Role models can be a part, but these are usually exceptional people in some way. But at this point, wrt the topic, you should consider why these role models exist, and what they stand for. Not immediately jump to the conclusion of smth smth propaganda. If you want that discussion you should very specifically define the term of propaganda.
Lol. I just love it how so many people complain that Nuclear doesnt make financial sense, and then the most financially motivated companies just actually figure out that using a nuclear reactor completely privately is best.
Fuck sake, world.
It would probably be fine if everyone agreed to play by the rules, but they dont, and the US is terrible at enforcing them (or specifically, chooses not too, and doesnt impose new laws to stop loopholing)
But the administrative bullshit, and the other potential problems are exactly why other countries went for universal healthcare 🤷♂️
You must have limited retrospective abilities, because sure as hell, the ideas from your childhood guided your life.
You feel wrong, most likely, from what I read.

Security starts at the developer, you have to be deluded to think otherwise.
