Climate@slrpnk.net•Five Things the “Nuclear Bros” Don’t Want You to Know About Small Modular Reactors32·2 years agoThank you for sharing this link. It was very interesting listening to someone from within the US that is head of an office now and started from Shell Solar.
There is a reasoning that I didn’t get. Maybe I misunderstood something or I lack some information/knowledge. Anyways, here it is:
At 1:02 they talks about nuclear waste saying that all the nuclear waste produced in the US by the nuclear power plants is like a football field that is 10 yards tall and then he talks about why this waste is not concerning.
Later at 1:07 He mentions that the US is not reprocesing the uranium fuel rods, in which 95% of the energy is still there, and that the US should do reprocessing like other countries do.
Doesn’t that mean that these unprocessed rods in the US that are in the “football field of nuclear waste” are therefore a concern?

Climate@slrpnk.net•Five Things the “Nuclear Bros” Don’t Want You to Know About Small Modular Reactors108·2 years agoWhat kind of a moron are you? When you make claims you bring the proof.
Or you know, I could assert that you’re, say, a donkey-fucker. If you got proof to the contrary, please provide it.
I am not making claims. I shared an article on a matter that bugs me. I wanted to see what people think and potentially inform myself further.
And your input was definitely invaluable!

SMRs cannot be counted on to provide reliable and resilient off-the-grid power…
they have a couple of paragraphs that give an explanation.

Not The Onion@lemmy.world•German politician's video of licking public toilets goes viral
4·2 years agoOk I now see what you mean. Thanks for the link, unfortunately for some reason the video doesn’t play for me so I can’t hear it. Still in the article you linked they say he sung the nazi-era Deutschlandlied version, which includes the 2 first verses. The current version has only the third one.

Not The Onion@lemmy.world•German politician's video of licking public toilets goes viral
8·2 years agoThe “Horst-Wessel-Lied”, also known by its opening words “Die Fahne hoch”, was the anthem of the Nazi Party from 1930 to 1945. From 1933 to 1945, the Nazis made it the de-facto co-national anthem of Nazi Germany, along with the first stanza of the “Deutschlandlied”. The “Horst-Wessel-Lied” has been banned in Germany and Austria since the end of World War II.

Climate@slrpnk.net•Five Things the “Nuclear Bros” Don’t Want You to Know About Small Modular Reactors118·2 years agoMy personal stance is that sustainability cannot be achieved within capitalism due to its model of eternal growth. We can have one or the other, but not both.
So creating more energy could not be the solution. Creating less demand would be, and the demand comes from industries.
More often than not, I it seems to me this discussion about clean energy is a deflection of the real problem which is industrialisation under capitalism. We don’t question anymore what this energy is needed for.

World News@lemmy.world•Israel kills more than 500 Palestinians in the West Bank since October 7
21·2 years agoNow that you mentioned maps, I thought of sharing the United Nations one of this region, from September 2023.
It includes details of Isreal’s perimeter fence and shows the few entry points to Gaza, as well as some other chilling details on how Israel controls the state of Palestine.Btw Gaza and the West Bank are Palestine. The State of Palestine is recognized as a sovereign state by 143 of the 193 member states of the United Nations, just not by the traditional colonialists (US, Israel, most EU, Australia) and a few more. “Devide-and-conquer” is the name of the game.
[Here are included some more maps, with recent & scary details from UN of the region]

World News@lemmy.world•Israel kills more than 500 Palestinians in the West Bank since October 7
272·2 years agoI’m kinda surprised the number is as low as 500, considering 35k have been killed in total, by all reports.
If you take into consideration that the West Bank is not the in this “war”, how does this number sound like?

World News@lemmy.world•US intelligence spotted Chinese, Iranian deepfakes in 2020 aimed at influencing US voters
232·2 years agoSo this title claims that
US intelligence spotted Chinese, Iranian deepfakes in 2020 aimed at influencing US voters
After that we get nothing but in more words:
It’s unclear what was depicted in the deepfakes
The NSA declined to comment.
And some bits that kinda contradict the danger implied in the title
The Chinese and Iranian operatives never disseminated the deepfake audio or video publicly
While they didn’t deploy their deepfakes in 2020, Iranian government operatives
At the time, some US officials who reviewed the intelligence were unimpressed, believing it showed China and Iran lacked the capability to deploy deepfakes in a way that would seriously impact the 2020 presidential election
Finally, we arrive to the funniest part:
This story has been updated with additional information.
So the info is that there is no info? And this was written by 3 people? Give us a break CNN

Technology@lemmy.world•MIT-educated brothers accused of stealing $25 million in cryptocurrency in 12 seconds in Ethereum blockchain scheme
251·2 years agoThe brothers created 16 Ethereum validators and targeted three specific traders who operated MEV bots, the indictment said.
To activate 1 validator you need 32 ETH. So for the 16 validators they got, it would be 512 ETH. Prices in December 2022 for eth were around 1200$. So they “invested” in this fraud over 600,000$.
Today’s eth price is around 3000$ so they’d be having over 1.5 mil, if they weren’t that greedy

Thank you for taking the time to reply. I think I kinda understand what you say but I have more reading to do. Currently I’m on some relevant wiki pages trying to get a better understanding [Spent nuclear fuel, Radioactive waste, Long-lived fission product].
In case you (or anyone) have any other links to suggest, please do not hesitate.
