- Comment on Netflix mulls introducing free ad-supported tier. The circle is complete 21 hours ago:
With my NAS, plex and Usenet I reinvented streaming. It’s awesome.
- Comment on New “Recall” feature in Windows 11 is a privacy nightmare 5 weeks ago:
Every time I think Microsoft can’t get any worse they just find a way to innovate.
- Comment on I this a firm and polite way to tell an opinionated coworker to stop pushing his agenda I don't care about? 1 month ago:
“Can I just stop you right there?” like you have something important to say, and then just walk away leaving them confused as hell.
- Comment on Helium-3: Mining the fuel of the future on the Moon 1 month ago:
I wish this canard that fusion is right around the corner would die, we’re nowhere near. Where are people like OP getting their information from?
- Comment on After announcing increased prices, Spotify to Pay Songwriters About $150 Million Less Next Year 1 month ago:
I don’t think you know what disingenuous means.
- Comment on After announcing increased prices, Spotify to Pay Songwriters About $150 Million Less Next Year 1 month ago:
Pirate what you want, but trying to spin the argument this way is just disingenuous.
I’m not following you. Spotify is notorious for paying out very little to artists, so therefore they don’t deserve my business, fuck 'em.
Instead I like to support the artists directly.
As to your second point, I’ve never had a problem discovering new music.
- Comment on After announcing increased prices, Spotify to Pay Songwriters About $150 Million Less Next Year 1 month ago:
I’ve seen quite a few download codes included with vinyl releases that have 24 bit wav/flac files available. Some will even offer 88.2/96kHz files.
You could argue that the quality difference isn’t detectable between those and an MP3 rip of a CD though.
- Comment on After announcing increased prices, Spotify to Pay Songwriters About $150 Million Less Next Year 1 month ago:
you suggest they get $0?
They make more from what I suggested than they do from Spotify.
- Comment on After announcing increased prices, Spotify to Pay Songwriters About $150 Million Less Next Year 1 month ago:
Spotify can die in a fire for all I care. Sail the high seas and if you like an artist buy physical releases/mech/tickets.
- Comment on Lithium-free sodium batteries exit the lab and enter US production 1 month ago:
How about we regulate all the other power sources as heavily as we regulate nuclear?
I can’t believe I even have to mention this but you realize that nuclear power has safety issues that wind and solar do not? Hence the regulation.
And even leaving aside cost, what about other benefits?
Such as?
- Comment on Lithium-free sodium batteries exit the lab and enter US production 1 month ago:
You’re linking to a pro-nuclear trade group.
Capital costs:
Nuclear: $6,695–7,547 Wind power: $1,718 Solar PV with storage: $1,748
Global levelized cost of generation (US$ per MWh):
Nuclear: 140–221 Wind: 24–75 PV: 24–96
- Comment on Lithium-free sodium batteries exit the lab and enter US production 1 month ago:
Literally every source I’ve come across has nuclear being massively more expensive than renewables + storage, at least in the West.
The market decides what to invest in in a capitalist economy and they will tend to go for the thing that makes them the most money in the shortest time possible and that’s why new nuclear isn’t happening much.
If you’re advocating for public ownership of utilities so there’s central planning and long term thinking instead of profit chasing, that’s an interesting debate to have.
- Comment on Lithium-free sodium batteries exit the lab and enter US production 1 month ago:
This isn’t true but I’m happy to be proved wrong.
- Comment on Lithium-free sodium batteries exit the lab and enter US production 1 month ago:
Sure, I get that. My priorities are clean energy that is as cheap as possible and nuclear just can’t compete on cost.
- Comment on Lithium-free sodium batteries exit the lab and enter US production 1 month ago:
It has value in terms of research but I’ve seen no evidence that we’re even remotely close to hooking a fusion reactor up to a grid.
- Comment on Lithium-free sodium batteries exit the lab and enter US production 1 month ago:
I totally get that but that ship has sailed with renewables being way cheaper now.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 month ago:
My NAS and the *arr apps aren’t getting out of hand.
- Comment on Lithium-free sodium batteries exit the lab and enter US production 1 month ago:
I love nuclear
I’m not trying to be a dick but could you explain why?
- Comment on Lithium-free sodium batteries exit the lab and enter US production 1 month ago:
Nuclear bros hate this one simple trick.
- Comment on Why data centers want to have their own nuclear reactors 1 month ago:
Not really sure how NuScale is relevant as that’s (or at least the project in the article is) utility-level power and not really the same thing.
They’re both SMRs, right?
- Comment on Why data centers want to have their own nuclear reactors 1 month ago:
I’d say it’s imaginary if they don’t exist. Your claim that, “They’re currently being deployed in industrial settings around the US.” isn’t really accurate, is it?
- Comment on Why data centers want to have their own nuclear reactors 1 month ago:
They’re currently being deployed in industrial settings around the US.
I searched and I can’t find any cases of such a reactor being deployed anywhere in the US.
“Microreactors for civilian use are currently in the earliest stages of development, with individual designs ranging in various stages of maturity.”
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_microreactor
The reactor you’re referring to doesn’t even had a Wikipedia page.
Weird.

Citation needed.
Watch out, some dickhead might accuse you of sealioning.
- Comment on We can do all three things at once 1 month ago:
I don’t need to reread what you wrote
Cool. We’re done here.
- Comment on We can do all three things at once 1 month ago:
So which part do you know to be false,
Re-read what I wrote, I was quite clear although I edited my post a minute after submitting so maybe you missed it.
You can claim I’m seasoning all you want, anyone with a functioning brain can see I’m not.
- Comment on We can do all three things at once 1 month ago:
Asking for a source just to ask for a source is called sealioning.
Good grief, no.
I read so much absolute bullshit around nuclear and renewables where people just write out their feelings on the subject. Asking for sources to back up their claims isn’t sealioning, it’s a polite way of asking someone to try and back up their claims with facts.
- Comment on We can do all three things at once 1 month ago:
Thanks for this. I did ask OP for sources, in other words links to verifiable data to back up the assertion that:
“Has anyone who wants to “go green” without nuclear ever looked at the power output of these things?? It’s not even the same league! AaagggghHhHhhhhhhhh”
- Comment on We can do all three things at once 1 month ago:
Please provide valid sources to back up your comment. Thanks.
- Comment on We can do all three things at once 1 month ago:
The alternative is to be making bank on a far smaller outlay much more quickly with renewables.
