It's not new age. Its the same meaning as "the energy of the party" and things like that. "The vibe." How things feel.

It's fairly analogous to actual energy too. It's the effect you get from something, like heat from touching something hot, but in mood form. If it makes you feel excited, or sad, or whatever else.

I think oblivious is a little better than paranoid though.

Fun fact: your chances of dying are always 100%. It might not be this moment, but you're slowly making your way to death.

I agree that it not functioning properly is bad, but I don't think we should frame it like that. These aren't bad because they make mistakes. Fixing the mistakes doesn't make them acceptable.

Tracking people's movements at all times is bad. It removes people's freedoms, and it can easily be used to quash dissent. Even functioning perfectly, it is far too much freedom lost for a small amount of safety.

Knowing what I know about Tucker, he doesn't care if it was a troll post. Reality and fiction don't really matter when your entire platform is this reactionary bullshit. Half of what he says about real things are lies anyway.

Being next to the fuel rods is a bad idea. That's not where or how they're being stored.

However, I'm not scared of a little radiation. If you are, then don't go outside and live in a lead bubble. I'm not trying to be irradiated, but I don't have some paralyzing fear of it. We adapted to live in a world with constant low-level ionizing radiation. It's only dangerous at high levels it seems. The linear no-threshold model is outdated and doesn't represent reality.

Also, I like that I named the facility and now you're just ignoring that. Do you recognize that it's a thing now?

Ok, the name is Onkalo spent nuclear fuel repository. Is that better? I named it. Now shut the fuck up.

How do you know there isn't an ice age in 100.000 years that completly changes the geological structure at those chosen points?

Who cares? So what, the mine collapses and we can't get to the waste. Why would that matter?

How do you know their copper tanks will last as long as calculated?

They're checked to make sure things are holding up, so who cares? If there's an issue then we'll know about it. If it's in long-term storage then it literally does not matter. The ground is shielding everything. There's radioactive rock all over in the ground.

The fear of radiation is the targeted propaganda. It isn't an issue. We deal with radiation all the time. Our bodies are adapted to fix radiation damage. In fact, there's growing evidence that a little more radiation is actually beneficial, not that a nuclear plant is going to increase your radiation exposure or anything.

This article says it's an issue with smart devices. It isn't. There are issues with them (mostly security), but this isn't that. This is an issue with making always-online services that have no need for it. There is absolutely zero reason this device should ever connect to the internet. The intranet should have everything it needs. The device should have its own clock (which I'm certain it does, or it wouldn't operate), and a connection should only be needed to change settings. Maybe it should expose itself to be connected to externally by your app to change settings or check status when you're away, but it shouldn't require a connection.

Dude, scroll up! I literally started all this by giving you a video about one! You're ignorant ass assuming you're right, and ignoring what is already provided, doesn't mean that you're actually correct.

try to imagine a facility, that is able to store something safely for 1 Million years. If you can, you are not trying hard enough.

The earth has already literally been doing this. There's tons of radioactive material under the ground. In fact, there's literally a naturally occurring nuclear reactor that is safe underground. Here's an article that gives some visual representation of all the nuclear waste, and how little volume it takes up. It's just a matter of logistics to get it underground. In Finland, that's not too hard, because it's small. The US had plans for a solution, but it was logistically challenging to transport it all to one site from all over the US. Local storage makes more sense, and there's plenty of ways to do it. However, the casks are perfectly safe and there's no rush for a permanent solution for a few centuries probably, at this rate.

I literally included a link to a video that talks about one in my comment. You can't just make shit up that is already answered in the comment you're responding to.

Obviously. We've all used the internet. Everyone knows it takes a few milliseconds to ping someone on the other side of the planet. No one thinks a pigeon can travel that fast. Also, yeah, transferring off the device may take longer, but we don't include unpacking files in download speed, for example. It just counts when the data arrives.

I'm not arguing for K over C. I'm arguing that C and F are both fine. People acting like C is fundamentally better are mistaken. They're both just setting 0 as some useful value that we can still go below.

0 (least water movement) to 100 (most water movement)

Temperature is a measure of movement. If we can continue to lower or raise the temperature, these are not the lowest or highest values for movement.

And people arguing for C because it's metric are just wrong, because it isn't metric. It's frequently used by the same people who use the metric system, but it isn't metric. The metric unit for temperature is K.

I agree that K is impractical. C and F have far more utility in everyday life. In my opinion, they're both fine. For cooking, I tend to think in C. For weather, I tend to think in F. They're both just arbitrary choosing useful values, and this means they're both useful for different things.
