Absolutely!

I love giving old hardware a new life.

Once I’ve finished tinkering, and if it’s fully functional, I give them to poor families who can’t afford to buy a laptop for their kids.

Sadly, there are a lot of those here in Appalachia.

We former military have ways of dealing with enemies of the state.

I’ll make Debian servers out of recycle your old intel Macs for you! Just pay to ship them to me. 🥰

No, I didn’t.

I use an anonymous YT client, and wasn’t aware it did that.

I can’t see the Reddit posts, but as an Army veteran - my money is on them using CS gas. The stuff really sucks, and can incapacitate you if you’re not ready to counter it.

Can we not link to Reddit? I get a page that says I’m being blocked and need to log in, which I can’t do because they banned me about 4 years ago for promoting punching Nazis.

I want an eye replacement with a few extra opsins options, and some EM sense like what birds have

That’s possible, but our brains haven’t evolved to interpret anything outside of the visible spectrum.

Hypothetically, we could guide human evolution by introducing such tech into newborn babies for several generations.

If the aluminum is old, it formas a patina of aluminum hydroxide/aluminum hydride/aluminium oxide that stabilizes it somewhat.

People often don’t know - because water autoionizes, it is both an acid and a base. This is why so many things can readily dissolve in it.

I miss glass bottles of coke.

They’re still available, but mainstream supermarkets don’t tend to carry them as much.

I wonder if this is related to GNU Taler?

My brain sees theme and wallpaper interchangeably. Sorry, fixed it.

I know, right? 🙂

I have tried KDE several times, and can’t bring myself to like it.

To each their own.

Thr socialistworker.co.uk has a clear anti nuclear bias.

It was easy to find multiple articles with them bashing nuclear from a simplr Leta search.

I hope the UK government does go hard on nuclear. It’s a good supplement to renewable energy. With the rigjt reactor type, it too could be renewable energy.

Probably the same thing that has American congress doing it. Ties to fossil fuel companies.

Yeah, that’s really fearmongery.

Most of the water that leaks out will be cooling water, which means deuterium mixed with normal water. There may be small amounts of tritium in it, but that’s not too worrying either.

Or Epstein -Barr. Or Varicella.

Eliminating all of those would be great.

It leaches enough radioactive water into the ground to fill an Olympic sized swimming pool every three years

That’s actually not bad. That’s a slow leak that has plenty of time to dilute with the ground water.

Dilution is the solution to pollution.

This is a fearmongering, sensationalist, click baity style article.

That was a Neo style dodge like in the Matrix.

Nuclear is cleaner and safer than coal.

In fact, a fly ash pond is both radioactive and full of carcinogenic substances.

It’s just a weird thing I have now that I’m a chemistry major. 🤣

I love my friends and family across the pond.

I often pull out that linguistically, my Appalachian dialect of English is closer to Elizabethan English than anything else spoken today. 🙂

In the end, it doesn’t really matter to anyone except pedants.
