  • What do you think will replace fossil fuels as our baseload source? Because (to my understanding) renewables don’t have the output and stability required to fill that void.

    Watt for watt, nuclear is one of the safest methods of generation and generates tons of energy with minimal waste (which already has methods of storage and reprocessing).

    random, barely related thought

    It always amuses me to point out that fossil fuel plants like coal are more radioactive than nuclear power plants. Because nuclear plants have strict regulations they have to follow, but coal plants concentrate radioactive materials into the ash as part of their normal operation, which can make it to the outside.






  • Depending on the family member, working for them might be harsher than one they find on their own.

    My first “job” was working for my grandfather doing construction starting at like 14, and that fucker rode me like a rented mule. I loved my grandfather, but I fucking hated the asshole I worked for. Taught me to be grateful for what I don’t have to do to get by. And also how to be a petty fuck to shit bosses in a way that kept me on this side of the line, but only just barely.

    Of all the times in my life, that was one of them.


  • I was referring to the fact that hypothetically one lemmy.world admin could essentially make people disappear.

    Which is what ICE is for.

    Dumbest and most tone deaf take you could possibly have.

    An admin banning you from their platform is nothing remotely close to people being snatched off the street and put into Alligator Auschwitz or sent to a foreign prison.

    Unlike the people actually being persecuted, you can just go create another account so you don’t have to cry about it.

    Also, don’t take this as me defending the admin, it’s a stupid decision. But if this is your response, maybe the admin made an informed decision (one that I don’t care to investigate, given the galaxy brain take here).



  • Yes, you can still create a local account from the Out of Box Experience with the Pro version when selecting “Domain Join”. But my original statement still stands as this feature had to be added back in after many folks complained

    [Citation needed]

    That never happened to me despite deploying hundreds of PCs in the early stages of the initial OS rollout. Even in nondomain systems, creating the local account was trivial, even if you did have to navigate through dark patterns to make you think you didn’t have another option.




  • I’ve talked about it with my parents they are 70ish and teachers and they both say in the years they worked there weren’t as many kids diagnosed with some condition

    I can almost guarantee they worked with tons if autistic kids, they just didn’t know it.

    Why do I say that? Because I’ve had multiple teachers tell me that my diagnosed AuDHD kid isn’t autistic. Clearly, the teachers who only see the kids while masking and yell at them when they act out would know better than a trained professional or the parents who see them when they feel safe and don’t have the energy to mask anymore.
