Comment I'm torn (Score 2) 213

I'm torn on this. I believe nuclear is an import part of clean energy and should be used. At the same time, I know in the US energy companies are generally private companies, meaning they care about profits more than anything else. Nuclear power plants can be run safely, but I have no faith the an American company WILL run them safely. When the choice is saving some money or raising risk by 1%, most companies will take the small amount of risk to save the money. With a nuclear plant, that should never happen.

Comment Re:Are we part of Israel now? (Score 1) 173

It is because while they hate Jews, they love Israel. The biggest reason is the evangelicals think Israel has to take back all the land before the rapture can happen. So they are big Israel supporters. Mind you when the rapture happens, all the jews die and go to hell, and they are 100% OK with that.

This is what it has come to? We will scan for antisemitic activity, but nothing else? So if you post about supporting killing all Muslims, that is not a red flag they are looking for? I can understand wanting to look for anti-american sentiment (not agree with it, but at least understand it). But looking for anti-Israel sentiment and nothing else just says that Israel is running things for the US. How about any type of violence related activity toward anyone?

Comment Why I stopped going to movies (Score 1) 183

I used to go the theaters all the time, no I hardly ever go.

In no particular order:

1. Way to expense for an experience that, at best, is marginally better than watching it on television.
2. Annoying people in theaters who talk non-stop and use their phones.
3. Movies are not very good. Uninteresting stories. Uninteresting characters. Rehashed woke crap. Nothing that is thought provoking in the least.
4. Time travel and parallel universes mean that nothing that happens actually happens, so who cares? Main character dies? No problem, some time travel will fix that right up.
5. It will be streaming soon enough anyway.

Submission + - World's first mass-producible nuclear reactor set for testing by US startup (interestingengineering.com)

walterbyrd writes: The reactor, known as Kaleidos, is a 1-megawatt microreactor engineered for modularity, rapid deployment, and diesel-generator replacement.

The size is basically a truck-trailer, and they hope to produce 50 per year.

Industry analysts view Kaleidos as a key player in the emerging field of tactical and off-grid nuclear energy, an area of strategic interest for national defense planners and climate-focused investors.
