If you are burying the waste, you'd be using a mine that is below the impermeable bedrock layer. There would be no leeching at all.

And using the most expensive project on the planet as your reference is disingenuous as best. Most other projects cost less than a third of that.

Additionally, almost no one is ever suggesting that nuclear is a 100% replacement. Most people suggest nuclear baseload with renewables+battery for peaks.

Depends on the reactor type. I know the CANDU reactors that Canada uses are very difficult to meltdown since they use unenriched uranium fuel, and if the deuterium moderator disappears due to a missile strike or something, the reaction just fizzles instead of running away.

  • 10 km which direction? If it's buried 1km down, you can stick it directly below my home for all I care.

  • not sure who told you that nuclear reactors cost half a trillion dollars to build, or are you thinking they would be building 30+ reactors?

  • closed loop cooling of reactors is a thing. There's zero reason to ever have drinking water restrictions.

  • this doesn't make sense. Why would the price of electricity double to maintain the status quo? I thought you were paying for the reactors out of income taxes?

Long story short, there's plenty of valid reasons to argue against nuclear power. Use those reasons, not made up bullshit.

All jokes aside, why do people even bother with vi?

This isn't targeted at personal desktops. This is for enterprise use, where you didn't own the data in the first place.

He's adding tariffs to uninhabited islands, and islands that do no trade with the US. He has no idea how any of this shit works.

OpenSUSE. People don't seem to give it much love, but their system settings application YaST makes command line usage completely avoidable for average users. Even for power users, YaST makes command line usage optional rather than necessary for most tasks.

I assume lack of demand. In your own home, you'd be keeping the handle clean, and public washrooms often use the touchless sensor types.

People also just need to be more selective about where and how they automate.

For example, I wanted my coffee to automatically start in the morning. So instead of buying a "smart" coffee maker, I bought the dumbest possible one and a smart switch. Now, no matter what happens with that switch, the worst that can happen is I have to manually hit a button to get coffee.

Next you're going to be telling me that I should actually read articles too.
