Sure, but the business case for a nuclear plant straight up doesnt stack up unless you’re weighing some parameter other than the best interests of the public. The facts on the costs and timelines are sitting right there.
Build out renewables - you get faster power on the grid (a couple of years vs a couple of decades) AND the power is cheaper. LOTS cheaper.
Which is exactly why this is a bad choice
And yet Hinkley C was approved in 2010 and is still not finished, current cost is at 3 times the orginal budget and ETA is now 2030 from originally 2023 (and may slip further).
What’s worse is they contract in a fixed price for the power generated which is way higher than renewables can generate it for. So we’re paying more for our electricity.
Depends on your settings. Firefox has a setting for delete cookies on exit. It is not on by default though
Insert surprised pickachu face here
Well that’s out of character for Google
Yep this is exactly why I refuse to do the scan as you go, it ends up seriously frustrating. Self scan at checkout is fine if you don’t have paracetamol or alcohol, otherwise you’re waiting ages for assistance.
It’s definitely an overall worse experience
True we say 15th September, not 15 September
I would like to point the RWNJs finally got voted out in Oz last year (federal and most states). Of course Murdoch and co. are working hard to reverse that, but semi sane leadership is in place for at least a year or two more.
Think Gaetz & Marjorie Taylor Greene. That’s pretty much our entire government now all the sensible people have been drummed out.
Don’t let logic or facts get in the way of a good grandstanding.
They didnt know it wasn’t going to work because they refuaed to listen to anyone trying to tell them it wouldn’t work
As no seems to have answered this, the EU’s political structure is more resistant to the anti-consumer desires of large corporates, particularly as the ones impacted aren’t European.
Culturally the EU is diverse but broadly there is a lot more interest in / support for nurturing the common good (as opposed to beggar thy neighbour policies of the GOP). In particular pro-consumer policies are popular and get politicians re-elected, which segues to the next difference
The EU is less influenced (not zero, less) by political donations from large corporates than the US. Very little of the priorities of the average person makes it into law in the US, a slightly larger sliver gets through in the EU.
All of the ICE have this too. It’s not just EVs.
Difficult to view on mobile but an excellent map. Thanks
Any watch supported by asteroidOS
Thanks, appreciated.
Edit
I assume you mean 1.35gb of network data per day ? As opposed to per minute / per second etc
What’s the hardware and network demand like ? I’ve been vaguely thinking of doing so myself.

OP has a reasonable concern, Microsoft has had a troubling past history, and embrace extend extinguish hasn’t gone away, just look at the office file standards shenanigans.
It’s certainly the case that the purchase of github is intended to create a platform that has network effects (making it hard to leave).
Microsoft has proven many times that their participation in FOSS tends to come with a catch or an intent to subvert.
