There are ways of dealing with this, but they’re far less ideal than simply having big spinning turbines with large mass and inertia - even if the voltage or frequency of the system changes, the turbine still spins.

Spending more than 40 billion pounds over one and a half decades to build two energy storage flywheels that also produces radioactive waste is probably the most absurd undertaking conceivable to man.

When one type of generation is suffering for whatever reason, the other types can pick up the slack.

But nuclear can’t pick up the slack quickly enough, that’s the problem.

It’s much more expensive when considering lifetime costs, uranium will run out eventually, and because it can’t react quickly to changing demand it meshes horribly with renewables. If we can build an excess of renewables and pair them with storage solutions, what do we need nuclear for?

While tech bros will not shut up about how theoretical nuclear energy™ is the future, actual nuclear energy is so much worse than renewables it’s almost comical.

They’ll be basquing in fame.

Imagine how cheap it could’ve been if we started 50 years ago.

In later trials, drugs aren’t compared against placebo, but a standard therapy regimen.

If someone hires a former Facebook employee to work on their social network, is that patent infringement?

No. If that employee then implements features that FB has patented? Probably yes.

Mickey Moses spent 40 days and 40 nights on a steam boat until they finally found land.

That’s a good metaphor! I’m not sure about the rock though, throwing a rock into a complicated machine doesn’t seem like the best idea. I’d consider replacing it with oil, where it needs to cover the gears at the top first before it can drip down.

I know it’s a pain, but what’s to stop us from using download-clis?

The answer is right there.

But you compared it to other planes, not to cars. Please leave the goal posts were they are.

I’m not being an asshole.

That’s for others to decide.

And horseshoes too.

Happy to inform you it’s actually a trilby, pleb.

Also, I live in the US,

The first paragraph made that clear.

The worst thing about Lemmy is it perfectly nercomanced 2010 reddit’s skin-deep atheism back to life.

But unlike in Russia, what wether the governments support Ukraine is at least kind of dependent on wether the people support Ukraine. Pulling support might be a bad election tactic now (although it wasn’t in Slovakia), but will it be one next year or in 2025?

And nothing of substance would be lost, that’s the point.
