The amount of waste is tiny. Coal plants cause more radiation than nuclear plants because of tiny amounts of radioactive matter in coal. You need to burn so much coal the amount of radioactivity is higher per unit of energy.
Until we shut down all coal plants we shouldn’t even think about closing nuclear plants
Cats rely more on their acute hearing to be aware of who is in the room. I’m sure if you play a cat video on TV it will get a reaction
When my cat looks at her reflection and makes noises at the “other cat” on the other side if the mirror, I’m pretty sure she’s not aware of how she looks like
Desktop mode is kind of funky, though. You need to open steam to type on the on-screen keyboard, lol. App store got patched and it’s better, but sometimes the apps get stuck downloading and I need to open up the command line to make them install
It used to take a computer with a ton of ptocessors to beat the best human. Now your phone can do it. When your most common tasks can be done on a phone NPU, and fewer GPUs need to be in the cloud it will get more efficient
Yes, I believe it. But when I went to urgent care with my ex, they got her in in about an hour.
Overall, my experience with the US system is that it’s on average faster than the Canadian one if you need urgent care.
I bought the same things from the same store in 2017 as today. The $5.99 yogurt is now $7.99
There’s two different brands, 4 lbs and 5 lbs and they have the same price
Other things went up similarly, like half a gallon of organic milk was $4.99 and now it’s $5.99
I did not see a single thing that went up 50%, not one
Vault number 98, 2k, 2003, 7, 8, 10, 11
It puts out literally zero carbon. Once you build a nuclear plant it’s 100% green after the construction
Source on inflation being underestimated?
Also if something like housing grows in price faster than inflation, then something else has to grow slower than inflation for the inflation number to be what it is. No matter what category you pick that grew faster than inflation, it doesn’t matter to the overall increase in prices by definition
For example, grocery prices have increased slower than inflation. It doesn’t actually make my argument any stronger, since it just means other things increased faster
For a blood clot I’ve had to wait like 16 hours in Canada, but that’s because for every examination and consultation you had to wait in a separate queue. Like talk to a doctor after 8 hours, get assigned to wait for a ultrasound, wait another two hours, go into the room, wait half an hour for a resident, become a test subject for half an hour, get a real doctor later, wait for them to consult me for another few hours, wait another hour for the script, etc.
In the US at least they did everything in one shot for my first blood clot, after it my wait they did everything in one go and let me go
It was four hours in the US. Trust me, staying in the hospital until 1 am is way different than sitting until the morning in a plastic chair
For propaganda, they reported the girl dying right away
Doesn’t let you just do whatever you want. I turned off the windows firewall in windows 7 and went on with my life. Windows 11 wouldn’t let me download updates with the firewall off.
Unusable on a hard drive, would just freeze while scanning all your files. Wouldn’t let you turn it off
I’ll tell you why I use it: to use open source software. I noticed whatever freemium program I used on Windows that was cool eventually got enshittified and became spyware. Like fucking clockwork, the author of uTorrent sold out and all the new versions became cancer
Linux has better support for a lot of open source software, you can use a package manager to download most of it, and flatpak for a bunch that’s not there
It’s just so much easier than trying to find the official site for the program you want.
Now that I think about it, that original meme was not true either. My friends always argued about windows vs. Mac, and continued to Android vs. iPhone
Like, people talk about OSes in general conversation
I waited less in American hospitals than in Canadian hospitals for care
Not the same experience, 8 hours in Canadian ER before I saw a nurse
There are always new techniques and improvements. If you look at the current state, we haven’t even had a slowdown
