  • Another thing is that people like to be on a winning team. People will avoid voting for someone they expect to lose. It's not going to affect the bulk of people, but anything that reduces low turnout voters actually voting is a win for the other side.

  • There are immense capacity utility scale batteries available now from dozens of vendors. They would be roughly 100x easier to build than a nuclear power plant, even with a solar farm attached.

    The most recent nuclear power plant built in the US was the 2 new units at the Vogtle plant in Georgia. They took 11 years and 34 billion dollars to build to output a roughly 2.4 gw of steady power.

    A 1gw solar + battery plant was built in Nevada that cost 1.9 billion. They secured financing in 2022, and finished building it in 2024.

    So we can get a solar array built to do the above with battery storage for 4 billion, in 2-4 years. For the same cost as that added 2.4GW nuclear, we could build 18GW of solar with 12.6gwh of storage.

    So nuclear will do 2.4GW of peak, with 2.4gwh of "storage" available 24/7.

    I have no doubt that the above 18GWh of solar could be traded in for more battery, to a more sane ratio that could compete with that "storage" while also providing 4-5x of total power. Based on what I can find, the batteries were about 1/2 the cost, so if we knock the solar generation to 9GW, we can increase battery to 25.2GWh. Now you still have huge power generation, a huge power storage that you can use all at once or over a long period, and it matches the "storage" that that nuclear plant offers for 12hrs, I.e the time when the sun is down.

    It's honestly baffling why these companies are trying to spin up nuclear plants instead of pushing ahead with more grid renewables.

  • If the thread is 52 comments and that's posted 26 times, that is a dead thread. There is an inherent problem with that.

    Posting should be an attempt to create discussion. If the poster tries to end discussion in the comments, that's just making noise. Eventually, a community of just noise will die.

  • Merrick garland was actually recommended by one of the senate GOP members, Grassely, who headed up the senate judicial commitee. He said Garland would be "reasonable" choice that Obama would never nominate.

    So Obama nominated him to make a point, and the Senate tsk tsked anyway and refused to fill the seat for the first time in its history.

  • This kills me, but its not as bad as the habit of new articles/print authors to switch between first and last names of the same person within a few sentences.

    They will introduce Jeff Snoms, and then refer to them has "Jeff" and "Snoms" interchangeably for no discernable reason. It gets really maddening when they are doing it with 3 or 4 people, so suddenly the story has 2x as many characters involved.

  • So you fully trust computers that can kill you and others without a thought, but you don't trust a computer to do the insanely simpler task of "count paper?"

    Also, musk and all the other disingenuous shitheads are complaining about any digital counting, including your preferred scantron ballots. They want very slow, flaw ridden human counting only, so they can inject chaos and noise into the electorial system and force the "congress picks the president" process in our constitution that will always favor the GOP.

    Paper ballots are already used in 98% of all US elections, they are just counted digitally. These are not serious people with serious concerns.

  • Yup. "Bumblefucks DVD emporium" will oddly have 100k to splash out on lawyers to sue in that one Texas federal court with a Trump judge that refuses to abide by random cases being distributed, and this will be on hold for the whole country. The supreme courts shadow docjet will then affirm it with no comment, and then we wait for it to reach them, where they will release an opinion on the last day saying it's illegal, and also so is the FTC, and also senators are kings like presidents.

  • Passwords have problems, but passkeys have more

  • Passkeys are unique cert pairs for each site. The site gets the public key, you keep the private to login under your account. The site never stores your private key.

    To store them simply, turn off your browsers password/passkey storage. Store them in your password manager along with other sites passwords.

  • I took a geology course in college. The raw giddiness the professor hit on seeing a very bland gray rock still makes me laugh thinking about it. Dude was starstruck by a large grey lump. I'm sure it was a very excellent rock, but I can't recall now what made it so amazing. Something about glaciers.

    I think he would have gladly licked the rock if he thought no one was looking.

    I 100% believe the above.
