Thanks for that.

That's why their sale has to be banned. It won't help with the units already in the wild, and obviously some will slip through, but it can still reduce harm.

We aren't, but sure, that would make sense.

It's never, ever going to make economic sense to put a single SMR at a data center when you could put multiple SMRs on a site which makes more sense. But by the same token, that will never make sense either when you could save on per-unit costs by putting a smaller number of larger reactors there. And just to follow this line of thinking to the logical conclusion, that's never going to make sense either while it's cheaper to do renewables plus storage.

LiPo and NCM Li-Ion batteries are inherently hazardous as they are prone to thermal runaway once problems begin.

LFPs (LiFePo4) can combust, but the danger is much lower because their electrolyte does not emit oxygen when heated. This makes them both less likely to combust, and easier to extinguish.

Once we have readily available safer chemistries (solid electrolyte?) we could look at banning LFPs as well, if that turned out to make sense. But we should especially just ban NCMs completely as they not only are high-risk (both ignition risk and the increased risk of being difficult to extinguish) but also are most toxic when they burn since they contain cobalt electrode material in exactly the way LFPs don't.

We already refer to existing flights with similar characteristics as "air taxi" service.

Which are already providing service known as "air taxi"

Unless those short trips are city rooftop to rooftop, or city rooftop to suburb, and occur at peak traffic times. Which is mostly what "air taxi" service is used for now.

This is already a working business model with helicopters right now, so it is very clear. Helicopters have very high TCO, so it would be surprising if this wasn't more cost effective.

Trademarks are sometimes abused, but they are not useless. They let people know what the source of something is when combined with the year of its production. They are also valuable to the owners in and of themselves if they are protected, because people purchase things based on them.

"Sounding similar Is not impersonating."

This is about songs being posted as if they were productions by the artists in question. The summary says so, no need to RTFA.

Where are the stats, man?

So forever then? The only company which got approval to build one so far decided not to because it wasn't going to be profitable. Even SMR proponents don't want to actually build one because then we'd all find out that it's just a scam.

Solar + battery is cheaper than coal, let alone nuclear

Doesn't all the Trumpanzee Dick Sucking make your knees tired? To say nothing of your jaw.

Just as capitalism can be influenced to protect consumers from its worst excesses, it can also be influenced to make its excesses worse.

Corporations absolutely can buy laws (in the US these days, by bribing just a single person who wears a lot of orange makeup) which prevent citizens from installing their own solar power systems.

I don't believe that user stupidity is an adequate explanation, because they can bundle the addons and enable them automatically as part of the first run, after-update, and "refresh" processes.

Did she tell you the same thing when you asked for sex?

Maybe your TV manufacturer just sucks. Mine does too (It's an LG and WebOS is trash) but they don't suck so badly that they denied me a battery door on my TV remote.

Are you really going to take your TV remote in for battery replacement when it's trivial? There's good odds they won't have a battery for it in stock at your local phone repair place, or if they do have one which will fit, it'll be lower capacity and then it will die again sooner. Seems like it makes sense for a person who knows what they're doing to replace the pouch cell themselves.

Hopefully, that's the joke. When the Professor says it, it's never good news.
