It’s a bit too positive to encompass all that is elitism.

That’s just flat out wrong. Reprocessing is significantly more expensive at current uranium prices.

And so many states would throw up tons of roadblocks for reactors shipping their used fuel offsite to a central reprocessing facility.

No, not directly. You’d have to divert it and only irradiate it for short periods of time (30 days rather than the 18 to 24 month cycles that current plants have).

Proliferation isn’t a significant concern for reprocessing within the US. It’s primarily a concern for other non nuclear weapons countries that start it because they can then create nuclear weapons.

The US has no need to do that. They have more plutonium than they need for current weapons and it has a half life in the hundreds of thousands of years so it will last forever.

The benefit of the 4k is that you get HDR. On a good TV, that’s far more noticable than the resolution improvement and certainly worth it.

But then you’re looking at 60-100 Mbps bit rate for good quality (50-80 GB file size for most movies).

Where are you getting that? This says 15 Mbps.

I’m sure you’re going to have a worse or slower experience particularly when scrubbing, but it should be just adequate.

There’s been zero evidence of any updates. Even his editor claimed she hadn’t seen a single word of the book a couple years ago.

The issue is energy density. There’s a reason why boat tanks are ~6 times larger than a cars gas tank. That’s why they’re so expensive (plus batteries are much heavier).

What do you mean by this?

What I mean is that take a situation where someone was convicted of murder, but the reality is that was a false conviction and they were only guilty of manslaughter.

I shouldn’t have used the “innocent person” phrasing because that’s too low resolution for this discussion. You can’t always neatly put a person into innocent/guilty categories.

The Bolt EV or the Leaf are just that.

I’m not sure why you act as if all innocent people are completely innocent. It could be that they made mistakes and we’re careless and that was a part of what led them to being falsely convicted.

Literally zero incentive is an extremely high bar and certainly incorrect.

I understand wanting to ensure there’s a better incentive than currently exists, but giving them the death penalty for false death penalties is just a roundabout way of stopping the death penalty. So you may as well just do that directly.

Nah, if Google maps says it takes 10 hours, then it takes 10 hours with stops unless you’re in the bottom 10% of traffic (such as if you’re a truck towing a trailer).

If you’re like most people going 5 to 10 mph over, then you’ll beat Google maps time by about 15 minutes per 2 hours of drive time without stopping.

The difference is that we don’t give the death penalty to somebody who accidentally does something wrong. And we especially don’t do that in such a deliberate drawn out process.

That novella is a different version of one release 9 years ago. That represents the entirety of what he’s written in the last decade.

I’d say your 10% is optimistic. It’s been long enough that even if he does release it, I’d place the chances of it living up to the quality of the first 2 and giving a satisfying ending as low.

I enjoyed the lightbringer series by Brent Weeks which matches your criteria.

Just be aware that it’s not finished and there’s a good chance it never will be.

Do we ever give the death penalty to someone who kills someone by accident or in an unfortunate situation?

You analogy might be relevant if the DA knew the person was innocent and intentionally framed them and/or continued to prosecute. But it’s not remotely the same to have done so and been mistaken.

You obviously didn’t read the article as creating more stable schedules is exactly what they’re doing.

Is it enough, probably not. But let’s not make up lies.

I’m not sure why you call it fake gay. While it’s not universal, it’s still common among gay men.
