feminist supremacism

Oh dear, did I miss the point where that part came in somehow?

It makes no sense at all to use this argument to reason in favor of building out energy generation that needs a decade+ to come online and which only ever works with massive corporate and state support.

Solar starts to work at the scale where a random dude in Pakistan screws a couple of panels on their roof without any permits. Nuclear starts to work at the scale where either a corporate behemoth (like GE or Siemens or Hitachi) or a multi-billionaire-financed startup sells a concept to a state-subsidized utility and then they collectively go through years of permits and construction.

Even if solar were a little more expensive per kWh at scale (which is mostly a matter of tuning the calculations the way you prefer), it’s just so! much! easier! to roll out.

And no, we don’t need an ever-increasing supply of power. What we actually need is for people to have a standard of life that they’re happy with. Which has some relation to use of energy but unlike what the article suggests, that correlation is nowhere near linear. People in the US don’t have proper healthcare, they live in sad places cut apart by vast car infrastructure, their cities are still suffering from the aftermath of redlining, etc. — their energy consumption is higher than in many parts of the EU, yet their standard of living is, on average, a lot lower.

People should stop trying to manifest new reactor types. Especially in the face of climate change which really doesn’t leave us much time before shit hits fans even harder. Usually, the lead time on new reactor designs is even longer than on other reactor designs and half the promised features don’t materialize, and you’ll likely learn that the private company building the plant has accidentally forgotten one crucial element on the spec-sheet.

I don’t agree with @grue’s at all, but I think we can still agree that Greifswald appears to be an outlier in that it was especially badly built and managed. This fuckup of a plant is probably not indicative of every other plant.

the most expensive renewable

Ftr, Uranium is not renewable.

I don’t buy the “unsafe” argument

The thing is that the well-known nuclear catastrophes, at a minimum all resulted in fairly large areas right in the middle of civilized land being lost to humanity for the foreseeable future. So, even if overall death rate is only somewhat higher than for e.g. wind energy — wind energy does not lead to such devastating local effects. The other thing is, nuclear needs skilled teams to manage plants at all times, even when they’re shut off. As soon as your country goes off its routine because military coup!, nuclear plants become a massive danger. Also, nuclear plants can make for devastating attack targets during a war (obviously the attacker would need to value mayhem and defeat above colonizability).

And finally, nuclear danger is (within human time frames:) eternal because you need to store some materials safely for a very long time; “nuclear semiotics” is an actual thing studied by scientists somehow — yet I’ve never heard of “oil semiotics” or “solar semiotics”.

I think all of us here agree that fossil energy sucks. Please instead compare against wind/solar/batteries, not fossil energy.

Mmh, I don’t know. Right now, we’re hitting 1.5°C, and depending on whether you ask the mainstream or extreme doomers, our trajectory until 2100 is 2.7…6°C. In essence, I am not sure where 2.5°C is coming from, it’s neither current state nor a prediction.

Apparently a large part of it is on the back of HVO (which is a ~scam), and the article doesn’t mention whether overall parcel volume has increased either.

That’s why we are trying to ostracize and deport the biggest group of young, capable people.

Thanks for the sensible idea.

“14-49” war einfach eine magische Zahl — meinst du seitdem ist es wissenschaftlicher geworden?

*manifestieren*

I think the scheme is not “good/bad” but rather “what people think/what it’s really like”

Geht ja eigentlich nicht um KI sondern um Feminismus, oder?

Ich habe gestern Julia Klöckner im Edeka getroffen. Ich habe ihr gesagt, wie cool es ist, sie persönlich zu treffen und ich sagte ihr auch, dass ich kein Arsch sein will und sie nach Bildern fragen möchte.

Sie sagte darauf “Oh, genau wie du es jetzt machst?”

Ich war entsetzt und konnte nur mit einem “Huh?” antworten, aber sie schnitt mein Wort sofort ab und sagte, dass meine Redezeit vorbei sei, ich sei ja schließlich in keiner Fraktion, nicht mal in einer Gruppe und hielt ihre flache Hand immer dichter in mein Gesicht. Ich ging weg, kaufte weiter ein und hörte sie im Hintergrund nur lachen. Als ich dann zur Kasse ging, sah ich, wie sie mit 50 Milchschnitten in den Armen den Edeka verlassen wollte und ihren Einkauf wollte sie auch nicht bezahlen.

Die Kassiererin war sehr nett und hat die Situation professionell gemeistert. Sie sagte “Gute Frau, Sie müssen für die Artikel bezahlen!” Erst tat sie so, als wäre sie super müde und hätte die Kassiererin nicht gehört, dann ging sie aber zur Kasse und legte die Artikel aufs Band.

Als die Kassiererin die erste Milchschnitte scannen wollte, unterbrach sie sie und sagte “Scannen Sie bitte alle einzeln, damit es zu keinem verquasten Unsinn mit der Elektronik kommt. Und ziehen Sie bitte endlich ein neutrales Shirt ohne Bedruck an!” Sie drehte sich dabei zu mir um und zwinkerte mir zu. Nachdem die Kassiererin alle Milchschnitten gescannt hat, gähnte Julia Klöckner demonstrativ und sagte, Jens Spahn sei an ihrer durchwachsenen Performanz als Präsidentin Schuld.

Zuhause haben diese, wie du sie nennst, “Fleißigen” jedenfalls nur selten gearbeitet.

Ich mag das Maimai. Mittlerweile ergänzt mein Hirn sogar automatisch das Katzenfoto.

In Germany, the sign is actually more commonly used as the Schweigefuchs (“silence fox”) which is used to make people shut up. However, people have picked up on the fact that this usage is a little problematic at times, e.g. in some classrooms Kurdish children were confronted with teachers making the sign.
