It's not "da costs", it's actually really, really really expensive to build new nuclear reactors. Most of that comes from increased labor costs, which in turn have ballooned largely due to increased regulation and oversight requirements, which I would argue is not something we should do away with.

I wouldn't necessarily mind having a reactor or two acting as base generators especially during the winter, but

  1. In Germany we've been searching for a secure waste site since the first reactor went online in 1957. If we haven't found it yet, we never will.
  2. There's not really a reason to hope for cost reduction of reactor construction once we do it at scale, because requirements and local acceptance are too heterogeneous to implement any sort of scaling construction. Every jurisdiction will have its own risk assessment and usually the locals are none too happy about a reactor close to them. I just don't see something happening in that regard. Wind turbines and solar panels on the other hand can be churned out in factories at scale, which is why they're so cheap, comparatively.
  3. Therefore, personally I'd rather invest in green H2 as an energy storage solution. We can easily generate an enormous electricity surplus during the summer months, but lack long-term storage of the electricity. So we shut off solar and wind farms when they're over producing. Wouldn't it be neat to instead let them keep generating and use that surplus energy to power power-to-gas plants E. G. with H2? It's an enormously power-hungry process, but if you do it when power is basically free...

Oh wait, we're already doing that and it's already cost-effective. Now, if we were to take that process and build it at scale... for example by not spending 12-20 Bn 💶 to build another Flamanville, Olkiluoto or Hinkley Point C... I think that might actually work.

It will never not be funny to me how scared some people are of any transportation that's not a car.

Das ist ja genau die Angst der Nein-Fraktion: dass der dörfliche Charakter verloren geht und man irgendwann eingemeindet wird.

[–] DrFuggles@feddit.de 3 points 2 years ago

Also ja, aber genau das ist ja das Ergebnis für das die nein-Fraktion gestimmt hat. Wenn du dir die Stellungnahmen der Fraktionen und sonstige Argumente im Vorfeld durchgelesen hast, war das echt ein unangenehm großer Teil der Motivation. Jetzt bleibt hier alles so wie es ist.

Not to shit on your parade (and congratulations for losing that weight!) buuuut for anyone reading this thinking "juicing" is a shortcut to a healthy life:

It really isn't.

Fruit juices like apple or orange juice especially when bought contain a ton of sugar and often lack all-important fiber as OP points out.

In fact, drinking a lot of (fruit) juice has been linked to increased risk of type 2 diabetes (see "health effects"). There is absolutely no indication that juicing is in any way superior to just eating fruit and veggies and to the contrary quite some indications that juicing is actually inferior.

And not to put words on your mouth OP but juicing proponents often overlap with detox proponents, another fad which has absolutely 0 base in reality.

I can't tell if you're trolling or not. Well done.

Es freut mich sehr zu sehen dass mein Mitbewohner und ich nicht die einzigen sind, denen nicht ganz klar ist wie die doppelten negative in dieser Anzeige zu lesen sind 😅

ChatGPT drauf ansetzen schon mal ne sehr gute Idee! Partygirl und Partytp könnten natürlich sein, aber irgendwie wundert es mich dass es unterschiedlich abgekürzt wird und dass der nicht gesuchte Mann kein Partygirl sein soll.

I wish, then I'd have at least some explanation. Although it'd be kinda weird still seeing as how I have a German IP address
