On here I’d 100% agree, though if some member here got into some kind of discord drama that you weren’t apart of, why would you choose a side? You’ll have incomplete information, and no doubt one of them will claim they were harassed while leaving out some important details.

the sane response is to go “wow that is awful. the gaming community does indeed contain some terrible people, i am glad to be one of the good ones and will distance myself from this behavior”

I’d say the saner response is none at all. This seems like a pretty niche community issue somewhere on the internet involving at most <100 people. I doubt anyone here is closer then 3 degrees of separation from anyone involved. Why would you expect any of the outsiders here to “take a stand,” based on incomplete information?

If base load isn’t required, where are these grid level storage facilities? Last I checked there were <100 and they are handle a fraction of a percent of the US grid load.

How many does china have? They have a much larger solar/Wind installation then the US so surely they should have hundreds of thousands, and yet?

In ths US as of 2022, 66% of natural gas facilities are for Base Load generation, something that you claim isn’t needed. Maybe you should let the engineers and grid planners know? https://www.eia.gov/todayinenergy/detail.php?id=61444

Can you provide a link showing the huge amount ofenergy storage that has been built alongside wind and solar? Surely such a huge undertaking would have at least a wikipedia page about it? Maybe a graph showing the increase in storage capacity over time? Afterall, base load isn’t needed anymore, this seems like a huge development in the past 10years! I’d love to learn about the inflection point where base load was no longer required.

Carbon capture is fossil fuel industry green washing. It doesn’t exist and completely ignores other greenhouse gases that are endemic to natural gas extraction and use. Again the purpose of base load, which is needed regardless of the propaganda, is to have a stable grid. The only way base load won’t be needed is if grid-scale storage both could be built (it can’t) and was built (it isn’t). So conveniently natural gas plants are built instead and now the US is the world’s number one producer of fossil fuels.

Isn’t that interesting?

If y’all were really worried about base load power, you’d be shilling for natural gas peaker plants + carbon capture which has much better economics.

Ah there it is. Another anti-nuclear shill for the fossil fuel industry. Sprinkling nebulous “economic” claims.
Storage at grid scale doesn’t exist, and probably never will, but natural gas peak plants exist today and are extremely lucrative for the fossil fuel industry. Every watt of solar or wind has a built in fossil fuel component that is necessary for grid stability. Nuclear eliminates the fossil fuel component, why would you be against that?

The purpose of nuclear power is zero-carbon emissions. That is the most important part. The economic value of them is secondary.

Doing something because it’s the “most economical” is why we have a climate catastrophe on our hands. Plus solar can’t actually provide steady power on it’s own and never will be able to. Exotic nation wide energy storage solutions do not exists at our current level of technology. Instead solar/wind has to be offset by natural gas power plants.

Indeed and they have to be. However an overly cautious evacuation order isn’t really a big deal. It should be improved, and learned upon, but lots of government needs improvement.

If you want privacy and you drive a car, I got bad news for you. Public Transit is privacy.

Withdrawing from NATO, I could see Trump entertaining that (wouldn’t actually happen).

Fire a bunch of the top leadership? For sure. That would both be something Trump could “order the military to do,” as well as something he might do, and it would also harm the US military’s capability to wage war.

Zero out Pentagon funding? Not possible for trump to do alone, but depending on the congressional make up, it could be done and would severely limit the ability of the US Military to wage war. They could even do it without affecting enlisted personnel enrollment. The Pentagon has their own funding 100% separate from military spending.

Could also deny all future discretionary spending for the military/pentagon.

Disband 20% of it’s career leadership.

Zero out pentagon funding.

Withdraw from NATO.

Replace Jewish with Israeli, or Zionist, and you are 100% accurate about what is happening.

It’s done intentionally. If you want a wired mouse, you can buy one of thousands of wired mice and use those. If you want a wireless mouse, it doesn’t need to and shouldn’t be plugged in while you are using it.

Death to Israel. However Iran is as big a threat to Israel as the average US citizen. They should probably work on reforming their government from a strongman theocracy to something closer to china. Having a “spiritual leader” is alone worthy ridicule, and revoking of international recognition.

Damn, that’s fucked up, sounds like the democrats should do something other then support genocidal states if they want that support so desperately.

I do not believe for a moment that Biden is anything except 100% supportive of both Netanyahu and Israel.

But don’t worry, I’m sure the US with the current administration and the presumptive next administration bragging about how the US is the largest fossil fuel producer of all time also has nothing to do with it.

Right. A seismographic event like an Earthquake has a distinct and detectable difference from a nuclear test we know this because in the 60’s we had plenty of examples of the later to compare to.

What’s being done about extreme drought? New technology is helping to detect and respond to catastrophic wildfires sooner. In Spain, officials are utilizing 1,000-year-old technology to cope with a historic drought.

Replacing dirty energy sources with clean, technologically advanced, renewable energy sources can help cool our planet. We can all help by installing solar panels, choosing an electric vehicle for our next automobile purchase, and trading old HVAC systems for heat pumps.

Wow who would have thought that in order to help clean up the mess caused by Capitalism and consumption, all I need to do is wait for new technology and consume more. Probably nothing else that can or should be done by the Government of Brazil.

What did they actually do? I see they threw paint, but was it in the can and then it collapsed the roof? Did they cut the roof away? I’m not sure of the logistics here.

Game not selling well? Find a tweet from a nobody talking about your shitty game being “woke.” Sensationalize it, position yourself as a bastion fighting against the hordes, imply that only by purchasing the failing game can the average liberal “fight back.”

Profit.
