thank you!

And reducing the cost of nuclear by reducing safety standards actually is unpopular
i have said the same in other comment, but we are not suggesting raise the limits, but make it to public that tiny amounts of radiation is not bad. so someone who protests building a nuclear power plant because they get an additional 1mSv of radiation (safe limitt currently is aroun 5mSv), it does not mean their risk of getting cancer has increased by 20% or something.
in case there is a small nuclear spill away, there is no need to a town/state wide lockdown, which completey brings all economic activity of that state to halt. plus the paranoia, and additional cost to handle increased medical vists. i am not trying to normalise spillaways, just that if it is contained, then there is no need to be paranoid.
i have already given most of my thoughts in previous post. i completely shat the translations part with imu-rocks conversation, otherwise, i think i did a bit fine job. so a small pat on my back
that by itself was not a claim, i knew there would be comparisons with other forms of renewable energy, so i wrote why some of them may or may not work, so it is meant to be read like
"Are there not better means of renewable energy generation like solar?"
"Are there not better means of renewable energy generation like wind?"
where I live (cost seems to be rather location dependant) is creating cheap energy
mostly becuse in most places, nuclear does not recieve subsidies. most other forms of energy (renewable or not) are subsidised a lot. And most politician would not want to add subsidies because it hurts their popularity. it is always taboo to do anything nuclear. there are reasons why nmri became mri, nuclear fusion research project just goes by fusion research.
its not calculator, but often stuff which benefits from avx, so hashing, compression, etc.
what’s the hypothetical other option here?
this is not even about safety limits, the whole discussion is that currently the model says it's never safe. what that means is that all people try to avoid it. all people get scared when it goes above some arbitrarily low limits.
if we raise the limits, we also tell people that yeah there are safe limits, and there is no need to be immediately paranoid. simultaneously, it allows us to adapt some existing coal power plants to be conveerted to nuclear. that can already be done, by currently the radiation limit is very low, and ironically, coal plants emit more radiation already. if you can convert existing infra, it reduces cost.
Even if you removed all safety requirements
nobody is even asking for that. we need limits. if not, people will be immediately get lazy (read industries not spending on safety for profit margins) and accidents would increase.
nuclear has a image problem. it is always presented as - better than coal, but not good for health. environmentalist dislike it for some "damages it cause to world" but the exposure is very low, as suggested in video. it needs a pr team essentially.
The reality is solar just wins in cost
it does not. a centralised nuclear power plant is a lot more energy dense. a small to medium scale nuclear plant will generate more power in some amount of time, as much as a few hectare of solar plant. it is simply because solar energy generation is inefficient (20-25%) and is expensive. it does not run day and night, and power generation is not constant thorough out the year.
solar is currently cheap mostly for the same reason as plastic are cheap - we get raw materials for free. you need high quality silicon, which requires finest of sands (average beach sand does not mean the criterion). you need silver, you need electrode material (for example, nickel or cobalt). for small scale, like housing, solar is fine. you can get one for your roof. but it is not going to keep getting cheaper. it is practically at minima already. battery tech is imroving, and will do for longer, but panels are likely not going to get any cheaper until perovskite happen.
cheaper superconducting links
one - that is not happening (before fusion). on a morre serious note - what does super conductivity solve? super conductivity is going to make only a few things better - whenever you want to do some action against some resistive force essentially. it does not help in any situation, where forces involved are conservative (non dissipiative).
my thoughts
As always, oda has cooked very hard.
Kuma is the goat. he was very nearto being my most favorite OP character (touch challenge between garp luff and him) but after god valley, he is now my favorite (even my profile pick is now kuma).
Oda absolutely killed with rocks. I cried IRL seeing rocks cry. this has hinted towards the fact that while reversed, they retain some bit of conscience. maybe it is just because rocks is strong to resist, but seeing him cry, it gave a whole new dimension to our understanding of god valley.
Most of community guessed it already that rocks would be reversed and seeing how much carnage he is causing, garp and roger will decide to take him down. None of us could guess that rocks was essentially asking a mercy killing. rather than being a puppet to imu, he would prefer death. maybe he was also crying because he attacked his own wife and child. it broke him (and me irl).
I never would have guessed it, but rocks is now in my top 5 favorite characters in OP.
Pardon us, but this post is not meant for this community. YSK is for "facts" and saying something is 1984 may fir "figuratively", but this does not make it a "objective fact"
As I understand, It is just a general old people people mindset. Most old folk consider all lgbt stuff to primarily have "dirty" or "impure" thoughts (they essentially look at this not from as an identity part, but more of them being just "pervy")(this as i understand is the general conservative idealogy - sex is taboo, but having "kids" is natural, you can have both). Not saying this justifies snoop dog's behaviour. I am not a fan or a hater, just do not know much about them, just explains how could they do that and then this. to them, all lgbt stuff is "not for kids" and completely look over the identity aspect of it.
His "support" is most likely a simple paid collaboration arranged by their team, and he does not care what it is about.
Why imo it is still uplifting is because there is some event organised for lgbt folk, and that is always a good in my book. it helps normalise them.
Maybe try reading the manga (colored one if you prefer that). read at you comfort and own pace. and no filler.
I do not think so. xebec's family (percievably) did not resist it. my guess is it depends on how strong your will (haki) is. seemingly only xebec is the one who could even resist.
(most of these are community beliefs). No, current idea is basically D are all families (monkey, trafalgar, nefertari, etc) who were with davy/joyboy in the lost century.
I am not sure what part/page you are refering to. roger (and garp) was basically non present in this chapter except for last 2 pages.
I never expected it to be a letdown. but i certainly did not expect to get GV so soon or so good. i expected it to be on par with or slightly succeed marineford. currently, (imo), we are even past that.
