Very long read and it fucked me up for the rest of the day, but well worth it.

Finland / Fortum Announces Completion Of First Nuclear Decommissioning Project ( www.nucnet.org )

Finland has successfully completed its first nuclear decommissioning project with the dismantling of the FiR1 research reactor, which operated for over 50 years at the VTT Technical Research Centre premises in Otaniemi, Espoo, near the capital Helsinki....

That’s sad :( I use a TRIGA at work and they’re great little reactors. Hopefully something else has taken its place before this one was shut down.

As temperatures climb, air conditioners – which work by sucking in indoor air, heating it via compressor and then dumping that heat outside

This is not how split units, window units, or central air conditioning units work. The only units that work this way are the notoriously inefficient single hose portable units. How does an article about air conditioning manage to mess this up?

Apple also has a MUCH better track record relating to user privacy over pretty much every other big tech company.

This entire article is a nothingburger from 3 years ago. You’re telling me that the button saying “ask app not to track” still makes it possible for the app to track you? Almost like there’s a difference between the words “ask” and “enforce”? Did you read the article you sent? How is that even in the same universe as installing a keylogger into every Copilot PC by default?

I never claimed Apple is perfect at privacy, I said they are better than the competition.

Having used this site before, it’s worse than useless in my experience. I got a bunch of phone numbers of businesses that ghosted me or lost me in their terribly designed phone systems, and then got cold called by other contractors that wanted to charge insane prices, didn’t understand the project, or tried to change the scope of the project completely to upsell me.

Article unreadable for me due to paywall and other crap on the page

I can’t even tell if you’re shitposting but I don’t care, I’m here for it

Don’t forget making temperatures many many times hotter than our own sun, sometimes mere meters away from the coldest temperatures in the universe.

I’d recommend Linux Mint honestly. It’s popular enough that they can find solutions to common problems, has a Windows-like interface, and it mostly “just works” on common hardware. Printer drivers, networking, and audio all worked out of the box for me. Cinnamon is lightweight but powerful, and the Mint theme looks really good on it. The default package repos have everything you’re likely to need, and the software manager tool is easy to use.

I don’t know of many distros that enable automatic updates out of the box, you usually have to enable it after installing.

You can do that in Mint too: https://linuxhint.com/configure-updates-automatically-linux-mint/

Call me petty, but whenever I have to spend money somewhere I don’t like, I always use my Amex card because I know it’ll cost them a few extra cents

Surely a company like Microsoft or Sega has enough weight to throw around to get a contract obligating that the GPU provider must continue providing GPUs for X amount of years after the console’s launch, right? Maybe that was an oversight on the original Xbox, but I don’t see why they couldn’t do that.

Where are you getting those numbers from? First of all, GW is a unit of power, not energy. You can’t “produce 1.21GW in a day” because it’s a measurement of instantaneous power. Some nuclear reactors produce around 1GW(e), which means 1 gigawatt hour per hour.

I think the HVAC maintenance guy just destroyed my relationship

Edit: Last night she attempted suicide. I was in the living room while she was showering. She got out of the shower, went to the bedroom, and about 10 minutes later I heard her call my name. She was holding a large handful of her medicine in one hand, and the bottle in the other. She told me she almost took it, but decided to...

Brother, I’m sorry to say but I think you need to get out of that situation. Right now. I’ve been in a relationship like that and it never ends well.
