Iron_Lynx,

Every sixty seconds, a woman in Britain gives birth. She. Must. Be. Exhausted.

Iron_Lynx,

And only quartz and amethyst at that smh

Iron_Lynx,

He’s information vegetable, animal and mineral

Iron_Lynx,

And even a smaller Bakfiets will readily handle over 99% of the listed cases.

Iron_Lynx,

If it’s red from black-body radiation, you should be more than fine with regards to contaminants.

You should be more concerned with nutrition. Or the current complete lack thereof. After all, anything healthy has by that point gone up in smoke.

Iron_Lynx,

Not to forget that if it’s glowing red, it may be hot enough to set your head on fire the instant you stick it in your mouth. So do not eat anything that’s glowing red from black-body radiation

Iron_Lynx,

If the item shows any black-body radiation in the wavelength range of visible light, i.e. it can be seen with the Mk. 1 Eyeball, it’s absolutely too hot too touch, let alone eat.

Iron_Lynx,

City “twinning” goes beyond the EU. And it can happen for all kinds of reasons. My favourite example is the towns of Dull, Scotland, Boring, Oregon and Bland, New South Wales.

Iron_Lynx,

Even better: reprocess the fuel. The linear fuel life time decommissions nuclear fuel as useless while it still has 90-something percent of energy potential left. Having a more cyclical life cycle allows for the spent fuel to be reconstituted into new fuel, and to be used anew. All the waste that does end up being produced is only a fraction of the waste produced in a linear process, and only dangerous on a societal timescale instead of a geological one.

Iron_Lynx,

I’m pretty sure France is one of those places and they have an amazing track record.

Iron_Lynx,

… What a terrible day to have eyes, I must say…

Iron_Lynx,

For one, even with disasters factored in, nuclear kills only 0.04 people per TWh of energy produced. Coal kills 160. That is four orders if magnitude more.
Oil fares better, but with 36 fatalities per TWh, that’s still a thousand times more deadly than nuclear.

For two, every milligram of emissions from nuclear power is accounted for, as someone in the other thread said. All the waste fits inside a football field, and is stored in ginormous casks which can stand being smashed by a train, and are so thick you can hug them with no consequences to health and safety.
Meanwhile, emissions from coal and oil are vented to atmosphere. Including volatile radioactive trace contaminants. Which means that ironically, on top of the greater fatalities and the carbon emissions, fossil fuels have worse nuclear emissions.

As for storage, for one, that’s hampered because the oblivious and the malicious get to contribute to the discussions. Fact is that there are sites for long term storage, which are in the process of being filled with spent fuel.
For two, much less of that stuff is needed if spent nuclear fuel is recycled. Which Japan and France do.

Finally, an electricity grid needs three things: capacity, stability and flexibility. Both nuclear and renewables offer stability, but only nuclear offers stability, while renewables offer flexibility.

The solution is not nuclear XOR renewables.

It is nuclear OR renewables.

Or nuclear AND renewables.

Iron_Lynx,

To be Devil’s Advocate:
Given that the rest written in Comic Sans, it may be an early elementary school exercise, aimed at teaching kids to do multiplications. In this case, it’s tolerable and/or defensible to find a simplification for pi.

That said, making pi equal to 3 would have been more accurate for that…

Iron_Lynx,

If we’re staying on land within the Schengen Area, from the sea in southwest Portugal, all the way to just before the Estonian-Russian border at Narva is 2 days. And it’s Schengen the whole way there, so no border checks anywhere on the way.

Iron_Lynx,

Counterpoint: all countries in the European case are in the Schengen area, and you can make the entire journey without ever having to take your passport out of your pocket. The same cannot be said in the American case.

Iron_Lynx,

Nah, that’s his mate Chungus. This guy Chunus has been overshadowed for most of his life.

Iron_Lynx,

Hunby looks like he’ll offer you a sports car if you’re the last person to take your hand off it.

Iron_Lynx,

But larp without an F? That’s cool, that’s fine.

Iron_Lynx,

Hey, whatever your kink may be, it’s not my duty to care.

On another note, the right guy’s haircut looks straight outta Anime.

Iron_Lynx,

I hope you step into a tub of Legos.

I hope you stub your little toe twice today.

May you only roll Natural Ones for your initiative.

May every cat you try to pet run away in fear.

Iron_Lynx,

509 “states?” Chances that could include political subdivisions of many more countries.

Iron_Lynx,

I tried swiping down with my index and middle finger, but it does nothing. I’m outta options. You’re on your own. Sorry mate.

Iron_Lynx,

OwO

Iron_Lynx,

My suggestion would be to:

  • Move to a place where not driving is a viable way of getting about. If you already live there, great!
  • Get a lifetime transit pass and consider getting a bicycle
  • Ditch your car and never look back
Iron_Lynx,

NL here: driving education is something you have to do at driving schools, separate from regular schools. Getting your license requires a written exam (traffic rules, hazard recognition, stuff like that) and a practical exam, with both the practical and all lessons done in regular traffic. If you see a car with a blue square sign with a white L in it, that’s a student driver.

It also costs a few thousand euros to go through the process. Though getting your license for cars does often get you a license for some other vehicles. Mine came with a moped license.

Iron_Lynx,

H3C-O-CH3: 😃

Iron_Lynx,

I just realised that this is an ether, not an ester 🤦‍♂️

Let me quickly draw up something new…

H-(C=O)-O-CH3: 😃

Iron_Lynx,

I was at a party a few weeks ago and when we needed to use a web browser, one of the first things that happened was one of the attendees taking the computer to install FireFox.

Iron_Lynx,

RFC 1925

Published 1995, April 1st

Who’s to say engineers don’t like to have fun?

Iron_Lynx,

That was one of the first things I was thinking of. High five, comrade!

Iron_Lynx,

That’s just some of the peeps here…

Welcome to the internet.
Have a look around

Iron_Lynx,

We’ve got mountains of content
some better, some worse…

Iron_Lynx,

Welcome to the internet, come and take a seat

Iron_Lynx,

Trim the tip off that hat and this Gandalf looks straight outta a Western.

Iron_Lynx,

Alright, that’s cursed. Top tier shitpost.

Iron_Lynx,

Wish the poster will step on a Lego twice this week.

Iron_Lynx,

You’re gonna care when bread goes past a fiver a loaf.

Iron_Lynx,

Nou mag je eens heel goed luisteren, jij hondelul.

Iron_Lynx,

1978 provincial fingerblast champion in Utrecht then?

Iron_Lynx,

Or maybe this fucker’s a tukker and he’s actually the 1978 regional fingerblast champion in Twente 😛

Iron_Lynx,

Is Lemmy’s version of /r/rimjob_steve up already?

Iron_Lynx,

(hits up Wolfram|Alpha for a conversion) I mean, 1,70 m is not that small. It’s fairly average, even in The Netherlands. Speaking from experience.
