No, it's not. There are ways to recycle parts of the fuel rods, true, but not the thousands of tons of contaminated material that inevitably gather during operations and end-of-life of a reactor. You don't honestly think that the only dangerous waste are spend fuel rods?

And yes, the very problem is that storage needs to take place over geologic timescales. I can't guarantee that our government will exist 20 years from now, much less 2000. Waste storage so far was managed so corruptly and incompetently that it is already failing after 50 years. Forgive me if I have little faith whenever someone claims that they'll just dig a hole and forget about it for a few millennia. The waste sites need maintenance, and if that ever ends might poison a region's ground water in perpetuity.

Where will you put the nuclear waste? Germany doesn't even have the concept of a plan where to put theirs, they are currently keeping it

a) in a corroding salt mine, that is currently leaking water and will poison the entire area's ground water within 20 years, so it'll have to be dug up again, which will cost many billions b) in above ground 'temporary' holding facilities c) shipping it off to other countries

None of this is sustainable. Until the waste problem is solved, we shouldn't even think about building out nuclear.

It only accepts American domains. It knows bbc.com, but good luck with bbc.co.uk

No, what do you mean, MBFC is not US centric at all

The thing explodes when it collides with sometime, usually because a circuit gets closed. It seems like it exploded the moment he put it down. A better call would have been too keep it in hand and try to disarm it. Or, you know, surrender as soon as you see a drone coming towards you

Even Belarus is abandoning Putin. Slava Ukraini!

For me it's probably the way I self-host overleaf, a online LaTeX editor. The community version has a docker image that's horribly maintained (because they want to sell enterprise, I reckon), and instead relies on a horrendous amalgamation of setup scripts that wrap docker compose.

What I have is a Dockerfile that pulls the image, manually installs a second version of TeX with the right dependencies, unlinks the old one and links the second one. Then for the database, it uses Mongo replsets, which be to be manually initialized. So I wrote a health check for the container that checks if the repl set is initialized, and if that fails the health check initializes it.

It's horrendous, it's disgusting, and it's an all-in-one compose file to get overleaf running. Good enough.

Guessing if you need to subtract it is, however

Too much pillow talk?

You just discovered the field of calculus! If you look closely enough at any smooth function it looks locally linear, and the slope of that linear function is it's derivative

Not quite what's happening here, here the problem is if you consider geodesics on a sphere to be straight. In special geometry they are, for all intents and purposes, but in higher euclidian geometry they form large circles
