Ok so, realistically, if we all agree on this today, when would new nuclear power plants begin generating electricity? With all the regulations which are in place today?
Happy Birthday to us!
It’s a drag being an American sometimes, eh? (me too)
Yes! And it’s coming back to theaters in a short while, in the US for sure, not sure about any other countries…

I’m gonna go see it again then for sure.
It is! That place factors into the story in a big way.
The movie is full of great visually striking scenes and I tried to pick one that was obviously from this film but without spoilers. It was super awesome to see this when it was new in theaters in the 70s.
You know how to whistle, don’t you, you piece of shit?
Talk about an unexpected gift, eh?
I love how they left a few little mistakes in, and somehow that improves the overall effect.
Not that anyone asked but I just got the tenth season dvds from ebay, ripped them and watched this episode this weekend. This episode has a lot of laugh out loud moments, including this one.
Invidious link too:
I’m just the consumer so I don’t know for sure, but I believe these are cases of the company sells on both platforms but fulfills all orders via Amazon, which (a) defeats my purpose of shopping on eBay and (b) is against eBay’s rules, I believe.
I got it in 5. I got the the vowels first and then kept guessing.
Haha. Is a book knife a real thing?
Thanks for the link - I visited that town last year and was quite surprised how nice that amphitheater is.
Church and state should be kept separate. We’re seeing wayyy too much mixing of the two lately. But still, the best solution is the one that works best for everyone, not just the majority. In this case, that would seem to be allowing everyone equal and paid access to the facility or nobody gets access.
History and tradition should obviously not be the entirety of the decision making process and recent events should outweigh things that happened 100 years ago. Otherwise, we block all progress and if that were a good idea, we might still have slavery.
The idealist in me would hope that these people could work something out without getting lawyers involved.
All of this IMO, clearly.
Hi author! I’m Dad. :)
Thanks for joining the conversation. I thought it too much to hope you’d be on Lemmy but glad you are! Thanks for adding those bits about https, but I was saddened to see that 90% of the conversation around this centered on that one side topic.
I’ve only read the TOC for your book so far but it seems very much what we need to see more people adopt self-hosting so thank you very much for putting in the time and effort!
Aha, there we go. I was trying to put “end to end encrypted” and “Google” together and it just would not compute.

I did too, just within TMobile in the US, using the s*** word. Went through just fine.
Is that the colorful kind? (I can’t look it up right now)
And TIL the word megafauna so thanks!
Not that anyone asked, but my greatest frustration lately is when I order something on ebay and it shows up in an Amazon box. F THOSE COMPANIES
Yeah, you all get all the nice things we don’t in the US.
My favorite part:
Lol, really?
