"You're so full of FUD that I can only wonder which energy conglomerate you're shilling for. Care to tell us?"
He is not he is a green.
You see the truth is that there are a good number of "activists" that make a living telling people that "you never know".
The will spout off about solar and ignore the problems like storage and the fact that solar peak is not the same as usage peak. They will just use buzzwords like "smart grid" and then complain about the cost of nuclear being greater than natural gas but ignore the cost of solar and wind being higher than natural gas.
It has become a religion and if you dare to be pro-nuclear your friends and the other people you self identify with will shun you.

It is simple.
If you know you are guilty they will offer you a chance to take a deal, save the courts a lot of time and effort, and rewards the guilty party for choosing to be honest. Yes it is honest for a reward but still being honest.
If you are caught and you know that you are actually guilty of breaking the law but try to get out of it they will make you an example.

Orlando is not in south Florida it is in central Florida.

In the US criminal records are public records the exception is for juveniles. Once you are an adult you are expected to follow rules.
What I do not get is this statement. "i spent 22.5 months in Florida prison's, all because I got caught with some MDMA and weed at a rave in Orlando, FL in 2001."
If it was that guys first conviction and he did not have "a lot" of MDMA and weed aka amounts that make it look like you are dealing. Up to 20 grams is only a misdemeanor. MDMA is another story but unless he refused a plea deal or resisted arrest he should not have gotten anything but some community service and probation.

They used 8 for a number of reasons. The biggest was because they didn't want to spend money on a reactor that was so big it could only be used on a carrier.

Sad little person.
Spysats and spy aircraft save lives. The have prevented more wars than you can count. Sorry that that world is not all fairy farts and unicorn poop but the reality is that Lockheed's spy planes and spysats are what allowed the first arm limitation treaties and later arms reduction treaties.
Lockheed's greatest planes the U-2 and SR-71 never fired a single shot in anger.

But the flip side is a spouse can prevent other family members from seeing you.
So a spouse that does not like your parents can block them out of spite.

This could all be solved by just simple good manners and kindness but those are in short supply.

Except this is from Lockheed. While I would not stop all other research Lockheed has a history of making things that most people think is impossible possible.
First production US jet fighter.
First aircraft to fly over 70,000ft "level flight".
First US mach 2 fighter.
First Spysat.
First Mach 3 aircraft.
First stealth aircraft.
I really would not dismiss this one. It is as least very interesting.

No you are wrong.

Peak usage in summer is around 4PM to 8PM peak solar generation is centered on solar noon and has a span of about 5 hours.
So take 1PM for daylight savings time and take it out 3 hours and you have the end of peak production at the start of peak usage.
That is a bit optimistic since I am extending peak generation time by an hour since it is summer.
In winter it is far worse. peak starts at 6am and runs to 10am and then you have a peak at 5PM to 8PM.
Peaks will very a bit by location but peak time is always evening and often early morning.
It will become an issue if solar ever gets to be around 30% of total power since it will demand even more peaking plants.

No you are wrong.

The rate of women joining the workforce has been more or less constant since 1948. The increase in the divorce rate, the pushing of women to have a career instead of staying home, the reduction of well paying manufacturing jobs, and many other issues has caused this.

I know of a couple where the mother has the higher potential to earn and the father stays at home which is fine. The key is not that women must stay home but at least one parent should stay home during the early years of the childrens life.

You left out divorce a swell which started to climb in the mid 70s.

Not nations that is for sure. The US got some bases but except for the one in Bermuda, the Bahamas, and some in Canada the US returned them all in 1949.
The problem is that you do not seem to know what the words confiscated means since the UK leased the US those bases, or large since the those bases where in no way a large part of the British Empire, and you really don't seem to have much of an knowledge of history.

Yep that statement was just dumb since no part of the British Empire became part of the US.

" or even allowing certain people to visit you in the hospital"
Not exactly.
I have never seen a hospital with a family only rule. Only if you are incapacitated can your family decide to ask the hospital to make it family only or to exclude someone. If you are married you spouse is your "closest" family member and can actually exclude other family members.

The Enterprise used 8.

The Ford class is going for one refueling as are the later Nimitz.
Earlier nuclear powered ships had a much shorter core life. Even the Enterprise ended up with a 10 year core life.
