New nuclear generation technology would never again end up
got more info on that?
I'll be honest, I'm pretty strongly anti-nuke as it seems to be non-existent tech and insecure, but I am still open to being persuaded (so far, haven't seen any good arguments for it)
Solar and wind would be safer and something you can control, which boosts independence and resilience of the decentralized grid, along with other traditional fuels
tbh I think green energy to be good, I wouldn't "clown" on it
the issue was more centralization of energy production; solar or wind energies for example might allow you to "decentralize" that production, or produce some for your own house, leading to resiliency against brownouts / blackouts
those people like: "BUT I HAVE ADVANCED DEGREEEEEEEEEEE"
and yet they still promoted covid era hoaxes
true if big
didn't totally read but the climate scam seems to be a distraction from real environmental problems like pollution which are tangible, direct, can cause measurable health problems, and so on
My recent hypothesis is that corps are creating actual environmental damage and also calling for regulations to deal with the damage they're doing, so that they can profit from creating and "solving" a problem (and also profiting from selling false climate change scams)
seems obviously against American freedom, so no?

or what I'm wondering is, could we just get rid of domestic regulations and taxes that make it more difficult to start businesses or keep up existing ones
yes, but made in america still has to comply with too many domestic regulations and taxes, which pushes out for example people who want to start up new businesses, or keep up existing businesses at competitive levels
isn't the issue more of too many regulations and taxes though, than of tariffs (which is another tax), which makes manufacturing more difficult in this country (wherever it is)
as far as remedies goes, I don't know if this helps but what about HIIT exercises or like sprinting, along with something light like walking? Thought is that maybe improving or increasing blood flow can help with clots?
I can possibly assess these claims in two weeks when the MASSIVE DISCOVERY is REVEALED, I'm ALL BUCKLED UP...
a little more indifferent towards this bill / death penalty in general only because of false convictions and I think litigation costs more - otherwise, certainly the punishment fits the crime
i don't trust the left but we should build more teams beyond just trump with maga (he can lead a bunch of course)
"Where there is no governor, the people shall fall: but there is safety where there is much counsel." Proverbs 11:14
I am willing to consider this and did see some people making points like this, which I was going to add to my comment above but... I admit I remain pretty skeptical.
One of the main reasons is because little LEDs are everywhere... like, I'm pretty sure those power buttons on computers or video game consoles from many decades ago were mini LEDs. The bigger LED bulbs I thought were just supposed to be like a collection of those such little bulbs. The tech has been here for a while, just not used in the same way.
I could see them however botching LED bulbs, much like EVs are botched today with spyware and other "undesirable features". Maybe the specific LED bulbs today contain spyware like some comments suggested, or are poorly designed in ways that hurt us.
My position is: I do think LED tech is probably viable in some form, as well as EVs. EVs have been around a century, they were just a "suppressed" technology for many years by the oil industry. Now we've got Elon coming in acting like a "conservative" to get "conservatives" interested in these botched Tesla EVs with the spyware and other constraints.
And I acknowledge there may be problems with lithium batteries and things like that but... again, it's really simple tech that's been around a long time, it's just any kind of battery that causes a motor to run with electricity.
Not complicated - a better more obvious use of EVs is ebikes - combining the efficiency of the bicycle design (one of the "best" inventions ever) with the automation of electricity and motors (and reducing the perhaps unsustainable lithium usage).
But anyway I will have to look in to the issue of LEDs more and will have to report back; I am very much open to changing my opinion.
But then also we might have to discuss downsides of incandescents, and are we really just straight up advocating for people to use fire or sunlight only as lighting at that point!? (There are some benefits from trying to live with the natural light of the sun only anyway which artificial bulbs have enabled people to get away from, a little too much)
on reddit there's a community "buyitforlife", we could have more consumer groups or discussions about products that are "built to last". More people buying these kinds of items might lead to more of them being made (although it can be bad for business if companies put out good products which prevents customers from having to continue to buy from them as much)
I don't really see any benefit to incandescents but don't support banning them
you should definitely be allowed to use 5x as much energy for 5x less lifespan, even if you just like the "look"
(that's fair to do, not everything has to be "efficient"... in fact that's the point is sometimes we do other things "efficiently" to be able to do a few things "inefficiently")
(for example there is a lot of old computer hardware that still "just works" but uses a lot more energy than new hardware, but it takes enormous amounts of energy to manufacture new hardware than to just run some old stuff until it dies, you should absolutely be allowed to keep using old hardware)
it doesn't mean anything is actually happening either though
need more healers
yeah they can be prosecuted
I'm just pushing back on the ideas they shouldn't be forgiven or should be hated (both explicitly against Christian teachings: Matthew 6:14, Matthew 5:44)
I certainly do understand they've done things that can be hard to forgive, or which are not liked though, that's fair to say, and also of a desire for justice (but not revenge, which is against Romans 12:19)
"hate the left"
naw, we "love our enemies"... but don't have to like or agree with certain things they do at all
can the forum suggest some reasons why this should not be the case for all drugs for adults 18+?
exclude meth, heroin, cocaine for the sake of discussion if you want. Why do we need prescriptions for adults to grow or buy these meds themselves in a free country?
I guess my approach to this event was almost to ignore it, never thought it was more than a "mostly peaceful protest"
any more than I think much about the BLM riots at that time, which were often not as peaceful
like I almost feel like talking about it as if it was an event or defending it much almost feeds in to the narrative that it wasn't a "nothingburger"
vegas incident still kind of mysterious
