I’m partial to defenestrates.

Other unheard of: flagellates, or going old school, vapulates.

* taking notes * None of them noticed the sawdust.

That’s the part about American politics that always sounds wrong to me.

The news are all Democrats this, Democrats that, blablabla like the party leads and staff did something extraordinary, but they really didn’t.

People didn’t vote Dem because they like the Democratic party, they did it because even the most brainwashed inbred idiot sees that their life is getting worse and worse, and it needs to change.

If the “establishment Dems” miss this AGAIN and think people love them again, we’ll be back to square 1 in a few years.

Not to be nitpicking, you are correct, but a lawsuit dismissed with prejudice can be appealed to a higher court, it just can’t be refiled in the same trial court.

It would be different if this was a criminal case, because then the protections against double jeopardy generally prevent the prosecution from appealing.

Maybe only one of you has internet access and is frantically posting across media platforms.

That’s such a wild misrepresentation of what I’ve been saying that anyone reading what you just said can only conclude that you’re arguing in bad faith.

My only point through this conversation is the factual statement that nuclear is not a competitive option.

Saying that "nuclear is cheapest once it gets running" is so ridiculous that, again, it has to be made in bad faith, because you’re intentionally glossing over the whole point: the MASSIVE cost of building it, the massive cost of decommissioning it, and the massive cost in case anything goes wrong.

There are heaps of solutions out there for a balanced grid. Nuclear has no place in it.

Again, you’re stringing words together.

Cost is a very real measure.

You could say that the numbers scribbled down on pieces of paper next to a dollar sign are artificial or miscalculated, but the invested manpower and resources and time (and a large number of other consequences) are all very real, and translate into a cost.

It ultimately gets translated into costs, that’s what greenlights a project.

“it’s easy to drop at a place that has grid connections”

Funny, because solar or literally any other plant will also benefit from having existing connections, and all of them are easier and cheaper to build than nuclear.

Nuclear is dead but for niche applications.

You’re stringing worlds together at this point.

Cost is the single largest factor in the deployment of new power plants, and solar is just impossible to match right now.

You could spend literally decades and billions building a nuclear plant, or start deploying solar right this minute and immediately reap the rewards of that investment.

It’s a no-brainer.

Oh yeah Skeeter is a chonker

Too inconsistent to say.

Guy must have been there a while…

Very good. If it all goes up in flames nobody will have a copy and nothing of value will be lost.

Smurfette was not a “real smurf” until Papa Smurf cast his own spell (which also made her blond, for some reason).

When Sassette was created by Papa Smurf he used Gargamel’s spell and then his own, replicating the same process.

That spell might be one of the true genius creations of Gargamel, but he was missing the “second half” of it.

Ah yes nothing makes a joke funnier than explaining it with captions.

I am enlightened!

Rhetoric is like Excel, it can make anything look sensible.

So I hear you’re a wizard?

Also Apple, less RAM is fine.

That’s how you get to a Bad Dragon.

I mean, just how many instances are gonna ping the URL? Several hundred, low thousands at worst?

Unless it happens to be some very large media content or a dynamic page with no caching, I’d think the automated federation hits shouldn’t be too bad.

The influx of users that might come after a viral post though, that’s rough…
