How do you mean?

Chiming in from Sweden, the situation here was getting very bad (relatively to how it used to be here, and how it is in the rest of the Nordics). When my dad was a kid, shootings would be national news, when I was a kid, bombings would be national news. Nowadays they are both so frequent that it barely makes the dailies.

Things have slowly started getting better again however, even if it’s slow going.

Here’s a link to a visualization tool from our national broadcaster. Keep in mind, all of Sweden is just some 10 million people.

Yes, really it’s the worst of both worlds. In the western sense of the word, there aren’t any homeowners in China. They have to pay the premium of ownership for the privilege of still having a landlord that can evict them or demand extra payment without any legal recourse for the tenant whatsoever.

How is this new or original in any way!? This has been a feature in many kinds of games, for ages

The real tragedy is that of the victims who got stuck in the middle between two doctrines hell-bent on global domination.

The case of Imperial Japan is equivalent to that of Nazi Germany. A fascist regime that saw millions intentionally slaughtered and worked to death across Asia.

Here are some links for reading more about the killings related to:

• Imperial Japan

• North Vietnam & the Vietnam War

• North Korea & the Korean War

Because it’s about the discussion and exchange of information & ideas, not about individuals.

Employee no. 5823 was all out of fucks to give that day.

Rule 1: be decent

Rule 2: follow rule 1

I mean, $2k is about okay for a month of labour in much of the world

Well this wasn’t on my bingo card lol

Someone in the US care to explain?

Usually look at the user ratings and it’s a lot nicer than IMDB since they aggregate critic & user reviews.

What I did was mass edit all my comments. According to reddit customer support (about a year ago at the time), they do not retain old versions of edited comments.

Meanwhile google slapped me with nine captchas to fill out a form like wtf?

Nuclear isn’t dispatchable.

This statement is false.

“A dispatchable source of electricity refers to an electrical power system, such as a power plant, that can be turned on or off; in other words they can adjust their power output supplied to the electrical grid on demand. Most conventional power sources such as coal or nuclear power plants are dispatchable in order to meet the always changing electricity demands of the population. In contrast, many renewable energy sources are intermittent and non-dispatchable, such as wind power or solar power which can only generate electricity while their primary energy flow is input on them.”

Either you don’t know what you’re talking about, or are actively deceptive. I sincerely hope it is the prior. As such, I suggest that you educate yourself on the topic before commenting further to avoid spreading disinformation.

The main argument for nuclear is not its individual cost, neither for remewables. The main argument is that we need to rid ourselves of fossil fuels.

When planning for a future global energy system w/o fossil fuels, nuclear power has a key role to play as the most reliable source of clean, dispatchable electricity. This allows it to punch far above its equivalent capacity by massively reduce the need for expensive grid scale storage solutions.

So… you’re essentially carrying around a power bank on the back of your phone all the time? Seems like a gimmick at best.

Honestly, fast charging has turned this into such a non-issue that you’ll be hard pressed to find a more convenient solution.
