The fact there are still doctors and nurses in women’s care in Texas at all baffles me. It’s not like there’s no jobs in sane states, Texas isn’t even that cheap anymore.

Your opinion is not really appreciated here with the nuclear industry trying to capitalise on the renaissance that seems to be fashionable these days. But I fully agree with your assessment, China is of course building nuclear plants, but have also seen the light in the sense that they are building more renewable generation capacity than all other generation sources combined.
Nuclear will not make a full ‘come back’, literally no one in their right mind is going to invest in 15 year projects when grid connected battery capacity is tripling every 6 months.
Except nuclear does not scale, especially not downward. Because any safety measures that have become standard, are required also on the smaller reactors. Except there, they cost relatively more per kWh output when compared to large plants.
I don’t really see this going to work, renewables are continuing to become cheaper and cheaper, and do scale.
But, I’d like to be pleasantly surprised.
Will probably get flamed to death for this, but… a few months ago I’ve decided to try Ubuntu on an older Intel MacBook Pro, just to try it out after many attempts in the past. (Mac user here)
Then I tried to use the trackpad. After 30 minutes of fiddling I gave up. Say what you want about Apple’s UX choices, esthetics and business practices. But boy do they know how to produce a computer and UX combo that fits like a glove.
In comparison, the Ubuntu experience was like eating nails.
And before y’all go off; I would like to switch. I’m getting tired of Apple’s business practices.
The entire club of billionaires are flying everywhere in their planes. Yet I only see memes about Taylor Swift and her use of private planes over the past week or so.
This could possibly not have anything to do with the fact that the ‘conservative’ movement being scared shitless about her activity to make sure people go out to vote?
Of course, the revenge driven justice system is not looking for the most humane way to kill someone. The cruelty is the point.
Also, the Murdochs are known to fan out the EV bullshit that is being sold these days via their channels.
It’s only a matter of time before driving an EV is considered woke.

Thank you for this! Very poetically written and so very true.
True, but that you can also largely influence by defensive driving. When I rode 80 tkm a year for 15 years I’ve literally seen everything but was never part of it.
Of course, the biggest security feature is sitting in the drivers seat.
Yes, all on board (except for the airbag) in my 1992 Benz.
Peak car was 1990-1994, largely mechanical, little electronics and reliable as hell. My Merc from that time is built like a tank and everything is screwed together, not glued.
BMW really doesn’t understand this business model. They tried to pull this shit with CarPlay in 2018 as well. Which one could buy as an €300 option, which was rediculous by itself, but was later moved to a fucking subscription.
It also caused a huge uproar, largely forgotten by Covid now, but they also had to backtrack that. And now they’ve tried it again, also to backtrack again.
Fix your cars to be a better value prop than that fuckface’s or the Chinese cars. Then you’ll make tons of money. Not by nickel and diming your customers.
Sure it is. But the fact remains that much of the required components to form an ecosystem are available on mainland China. Even TSMC building factories in Europe and the US can’t change the fact that the rest of the ecosystem is lacking at best.
We need to get off our collective chairs and stop drinking the kool-aid for a while, in order to maintain a lead here.
Thanks for sharing that prospect.org link, I wish this could be turned into a made for TV series on YouTube, presented by Mr. Beast, Mark Rober en Tyler Hoover.
I like how Amsterdam ended up in your list of countries. It clarifies the mindset of a lot of Amsterdammers.
Nice pic, but I’m yanking my OCD chains looking at it. The center of the picture is not entirely in the center of the bridge.
It’s the technology curve. We’re now at the iPhone 3GS stage. The iPhone 4 of EVs is just around the corner. It will only get better (not cheaper) from here.
Bingo. Slowly turn them onto each other…
