Similarly, if Chernobyl could happen there, it can happen anywhere.

When every job in the world has been replaced by AI, who's gonna buy your stuff ?

Being opposed to uranium/plutonium fission reactors does not make one anti-nuclear. These things are like a cone balanced on its tip; always on the brink of falling over, always having to be actively prevented to do so. I want nuclear technology that is like a cone placed on its base; stable by design, and even passively resisting attempts to tip it over.

Such technologies exists, like molten-salt thorium reactors for example, but I'm sure there are others. I want more research money poured in those kinds of technologies, technologies that, when they fail catastrophically (and they will at some point, because humans) will not spew radioactive poison over thousands of square miles and make them uninhabitable for centuries.

Collectors/investors.

He will sell it, and at the price he asks, if not more.

Tell that to your car battery that goes from virtually 0 amps to 300+ amps basically instantly.

I also live in Quebec. Power outages lasting more than 24 hours are a yearly occurance where I live. And it used to be much more often. Twenty years ago, we had at least five 24+ hours outages in just one year.

And it's not a matter of power companies, since all of Quebec has the same electricity provider: Hydro-Quebec.

Like some other posters have mentionned, Urban dwellers seem to be unaware of the different reality of rural living.

You don't always have a choice.

In order to function in society at some point you have to give some personal information to someone: Your governement, your bank, your insurance, your doctor.

And they eventually put this information on the Internet.

The only reason people are dying is because Putin is dropping bombs on them. It is not NATO's fault, or the US's fault, or Europes's fault.

The fault lies solely on Putin, his criminal family, and all the fucking shills like you who support him. You have the blood of every dead ukrainian civilian man, woman, and child on your hands.

Whether Russia, Ukraine, NATO, the US, etc, was right or wrong is irrelevant. When conflicts arise, adult, mature, decent human beings sit around a table and negociate. They talk to each other. Mass murdering psychopaths drop bombs on civilians.

I have nothing more to say to you, you mass-murdering piece of shit. Burn in Hell.

Gee, it almost sounds like you're actually rooting for Russia...

I must be misinterpreting your words. You couldn't possibly be such a disgusting piece of shit, could you ?

The cognitive dissonance is strong with this one.

Or so you think... ;)

90% of posts so far are negatively critical of this. An although some of those posts bring vaguely technical reasons (most of which are either irrelevant of easily worked around), we all know the REAL reason for all the hate is deceptively simple:

Jack Dorsey.

Not onlike all the hate directed towards spacex and tesla; Elon Musk.

Am I the only one fucking sick and tired of human nature ?

Elon Musk is not a conservative. Nor a liberal. He's whatever he needs to be at any given moment.

When federal money was raining on his brand new telsa factory he was all for left-leaning, social governement. And all conservatives hated him, and liberals loved him. But when said governements started annoying him about things like, you know, safety regulations, worker's conditions, etc, then he turned all anti-governement, pro-business, "I'm-going-to-move-everything-to-Texas" right-wing conservative. And sudenly, all conservatives started loving him and liberals started burning teslas.

Trump is the same. He was a card carrying democrat for more than four decades and a good friend of the Clintons... Until he decided to run for president, when he instantly switched to conservative for logistical reasons. And now conservatives think he's the second coming of Christ (literaly).

Musk and Trump are opportunistic sociopaths. They are whatever the fuck they need to be at any given time to court whatever part of the population they need to court in order to accomplish their goals.

This is a great example of the complete disconnect that exists between the intellectual class and the population in general. And you can see similar disconnects with other classes like scientific, business, and most of all, political class. People living in these silos almost exclusively interract with other people in their own silos, and they come to believe that their specific way of thinking, values, etc, are representative of the population at large.

I'm sure that Gursoy guy was genuinely surprised by the results of his study, while for most of the rest of the population these results were entirely predictable and completely obvious.

Looks like a lot of people missed your "nuance". In my case, I'm an autistic nerd and english is not my native language, so that might explain it. But it won't prevent me from offering you my apologies. But you might want to go easy on the "nuance" on this site. Slashdot is not kind to shades of grey that are not black or white.
