That would exclude coal. But yes fossil fuels are generally regarded to be carbon based.

I used the term to describe fuels extracted from the earth that will eventually run out as they are not renewable (on a human timescale). I made no claim about harmfulness there, just ranking the types of fossil fuels by badness while including nuclear.

Nuclear is the least bad fossil fuel. It is infinitely better than coal and still miles better than gas/oil. That doesn't make it good, and in no way better than renewables. Nuclear is a fossil fuel.

Also shut the fuck up with that "only works if there is sun" argument. Have you looked outside at least once? All live on earth is fueled by plants "that only work if there is sun". There is enough sun!

most reliable

Solar+wind+batteries are cheaper by at least a factor of 10. They are also decentralized so more resistant to disasters and attacks. Nuclear is the slowest power source to adapt to new demand and spikes. It is also a single point of failure for a whole region that can take 10+ years to replace.

least harmful

How many places on earth have become uninhabitable because of solar power? Sure there are toxic mines where rare earths that are needed for solar panels and batteries are mined, but what do you think is needed to build a nuclear power plant? And where do you think uranium comes from?

Nuclear is not the (near) future of terrestrial power production. That is not disinformation, that is economics.

We could not have had electric cars for 50 years because there were no viable electric cars 50 years ago. The lack of electricity was not the reason.

Also nuclear energy is simply not cheap. Modern reactors (those that are actually good and don't explode and don't produce eternal poison) are so expensive that no energy company wants to build them (unless they get a shit ton of subsidies).

If we build more reactors 50 years ago we would have a lot of 50 year old reactors that were designed to last less than 50 years. And upgrading or demolishing them is expensive as fuck.

Sometimes I wonder how people can be so naive. Even if they don't know just how much money is thrown at AI, just the fact that it is now in literally anything and on the news every day should be a clue that it is a huge industry. You wouldn't expect the guy that changes your cars tires to be able to single handedly build a car that is better, faster, cheaper and more efficient than all car companies together.

The parking lot was built specifically to keep Nazis from having a place of worship

Either that or they are all owned by his friends.

Yeah the price for rent should be the amortized cost of upkeep/renovation + some salary to the landlord that is reasonable for the actually work done (which is usually very little).

It should never be enough to pay back a loan the landlord took out to buy the property in the first place.

I think there is a bit of nuance to it. The AI usually rereads the chatlog to "remember" the past conversation and generates the answer based on that+your prompt. I'm not sure how they handle long chat histories, there might very well be a "condensed" form of the chat + the last 50 actually messages + the current prompt. If that condensed form is transient then the AI will forget most of the conversation on a crash but will never admit it. So the personality will change because it lost a lot of the background. Or maybe they update the AI so it interprets that condensed form differently

A country beeing able to produce its own food is a good thing even if said food is not viable on a global market because of cheaper imports. What happens if there is a shipping crisis like with a pandemic? Does everybody just starve because no food is brought in from other countries? Subsidies can be very useful, but just subsidizing corn and soy for export is not one of these cases.

So much long pig walking around.

The third Reich was not in the name of God. The Church had to subjugate under the Nazis. Same with Stalin and the communists. They hated religion and I am pretty sure they committed quite a few atrocities in the USSR, Mao in China, Pol Pot in Cambodia ...

God is a convenient reason for atrocities but far from the only/most prevalent one.

I also noticed how every post just has 5-10 random down votes. Like perfectly fine post in the correct community, not controversial, no rules broken, -10 down votes.

oder es gibt pro Richtung nur einen

Das reicht manchmal schon auch. Fremde Stadt, du kommst mit der Tram an und steigst zum Bus um. Keine Ahnung auf welche Straßenseite du musst weil du ja nicht weist wo du bist. Und natürlich ist die Straße mehrspurig mit 10min Ampelphasen. Also wirfst du ne Münze auf welche Seite du zuerst gehst und verpasst dann den bus weil du nicht mehr rechtzeitig auf die andere Seite kommst

Yeah when i see "cost 112m" I interpret is as "the producers probaly siphoned 56mil to themselves from the films budget before a single copy was ever sold"

You only get the AI search results. Frequently wrong, hallucinating results that don't exist and sometimes you reached your token limit and have to wait for a day until you can search again.

Especially if there exist loads of versions of the joke that were made pre-AI. Who hasn't seen the gandalf with an AK-47 meme that was made 20 years ago?

Might also be why all the other older hobbits dislike gandalf. They fear he is after their ladies

Im not you buddy, dude.

How is making a new product to compete with an existing product in an existiert category supressing competition? That's the definition of competition! And burger is a word that has been used for a long time to mean things that don't include meat. Veggie burgers are not new. They are not even from this millennia.
