You make me wonder, what is in the bread that tastes bitter? (makes it taste bitter?)

The gulf stream is either an air plane, perhaps that is your misconception, or an ocean stream of warm/hot water.

Has nothing to do with wind.

Lol, are you a retard?

If the AMOC collapses, Europe will be in less than a decade in an ice age. Seriously, get a damn clue. Switzerland, Austria, north Italy, parts of France and possible Spain and south Germany: will end up under a huge glacier. Probably most of the Balkan, too.

The only thing that takes longer than a decade: is making that glacier grow.

And it does not really take long to collapse. It basically happens over night. Just like the switch from El Ninho to La Ninnga.

And the single biggest takeaway from all that work is: climatologists, as a field, have been consistently underestimating how bad things are and how bad they're going to get.

Not really. They underreported it. As the IPCC under pressure of the USA did not dare to give a true assessment.

And that is a real problem in every situation where numbers are manipulated.

You base your actions on numbers, and assume they are a true guess, or true numbers ... but they are not.

For example Germanies amount of unemployed people is measured by the amount of people who get "first class" unemployment aid.

The people unemployed who happily would take a job in their expertise: is 3 times as high. But they fall into different social aid categories ... are treated different ... are not considered to be on the "job market" ... hence a 65 year old gardener who would love to garden 4 days a week for 6 hours a day - for a surplus pay to his social aid - is not considered for open jobs that would fit.

In other words: if fake numbers do play your agenda, everyone around you makes wrong decisions.

Germany has a housing crisis? No it hasn't. It has a market crisis. There is more empty space than people seeking an apartment/house. The amount of empty office buildings, is absurd.

And that obviously tickles down into the construction business ... in a few years you will read in the news how the construction business is struggling ... which then again hits the labour market ... and so on.

Then again, the next shop here with a simple trade does not get workers. The other shop closed, because the workers he had could no longer pay the rents, and he could not pay them more.

Germany is atm run into a small catastrophe by "the real estate mafia" ...

But fox news uses Fahrenheit.
And we all know: it is easier for an AirCon to adjust it, as the 1F steps are so small, and the 1C steps are so big.
And a human body can judge F instantly but not C ...

And: obviously it sounds so much more exiting if you furnace your pizza at 600 degrees versus mere 200 degrees.

At that time, we had no WWW ... so I hardly can point you to a German news source that shows it was a graphite explosion.

Obviously you have a point that a steam explosion was mixed in. But I would not call that the cause. Lets check German Wikidpedia?

Additionally, "look at what you made me do" I did not say that :P

Well, the German text neither mentions a steam explosion, nor calls the "fire of the graphite" and explosion. It is just named fire.

Anyway, perhaps I just wanted to nitpick as a "steam explosion" under those circumstances simply does not nail what happened. However you are right, that obviously the cooling system more or less instantly became steam :D

Then *your* unions don't work.

Your problem, not mine.

If unions do not work in the workers interest, then there is something seriously wrong with unions in your country.

You are mixing up "waste" with "unspent fuel".

You are talking about unspent fuel.

I did not mean to say that a CANDU reactor runs on Thorium, did I phrase it so badly? They run on "natural" Uranium.

That is perhaps the reason why some people claim they can burn "waste" which is obviously nonsense. The waste are the fission products when Uranium is fissioning.

No reactor on the world can run on fission products / waste.

The 5 most common waste products are:
Cesium-137
Strontium-90
Iodine-131
Xenon-135
Krypton-85

None of them can be used in a fission reactor ... Xenon-135 eats neutrons, so you could argue it gets "destroyed" ... but it basically only converts to Xenon-136.

I guess it is an American school system problem - or an intentional confusion in your nomenclature - to mix up unspent fuel with waste. And hence claim, with reprocessing you can reuse the fuel ... or what ever.

If a NON-CANDU reactor is fueled, the "fuel" only contains roughly 6% fissionable material. ~94% is the wrong type of Uranium. When most of the fuel is used up, it is 4% waste products/fission products, still 94% Uranium - unless some Plutonium was bread - and ~2% fissionable material which is in to low concentration to continue the chain reaction.

Yes, you probably can put all that with minimum reprocessing into a CANDU reactor, just by "reshaping" the rods. But you would not "burn the waste", you would burn the "fuel" the previous reactor could not use ... and end up with just more waste.

Was that clear enough?

Because of Vendor Lock in, and: they are decades ahead in implementing high performance DBs on "big iron".

A hobby project SQL database is not 100 billion transactions a day DB, as much as you wish it would be.

Behind your back, the time he spent on the open ticket was billed to your company.

No way the replace a cash cow like that.

No idea about your country.
But in any western European democracy: a union is like a party.
It is bound to the votes of the members.

Or why the fark would we have unions, and union laws and all those complicated union stuff: if the leaders could rule like kings?

And I am pretty sure: your country is the same, you simply:
- hate unions
- and are to uneducated to know how they work

Yes, and on top of that: do not execute anything that comes from external sources. Like on a Mac.

You do not know what the unions advised them.

You simply hate unions and have no clue how unions work in general, and unfortunately more painful: in your country.

So nobody local "won". Real economics work like that.
In your farked up country. There should not be any "real economics" around jobs. It is a basic human right to have a job that pays you a living.

Everyone using "baseload" (here on /.) is using it wrong.

No point in reading your link, as the link is most likely correct, and YOU or the other wrong people have English language comprehension problems.

Hint a power plant with "capacity factor 40%" can be a base load plant, and a plant with 95% CF can be a load following plant - oops.

Oh, just to confirm, your link is correct: The base load[2] (also baseload) is the minimum level of demand on an electrical grid over a span of time, for example, one week.

You see ... and now explain me your understanding why a country that has 70% nukes suddenly is better off in providing baseload versus a country that only has 40% nukes :P

Good luck.

Perhaps you should look up what "WASTE" is.

There is no reactor in the world that can "burn" fission products, aka "WASTE".

Stupid brainwashed Americans.

They can also run on thorium.
Unlikely. Thorium has to be bread into Uranium before fission. I do not think a CANDU reactor can do that (without upgrade or modification).
