Thanks for catching the typo.

Maybe in the UK where each plant is basically unique instead of having improvements from all the previous iterations. In the US it's around 93%. I don't know how to search China or France's numbers, but I suspect they're similar or better.
A MW of solar averages out to about .2 MWh per hour. A MW of nuclear averages about .9 MWh per hour.
But even so as the UK does it, nuclear power isn't worth it. France and China are better examples since they both picked a few designs and mass produced them.
China's experience indicates you can mass produce nuclear relatively cheaply and quickly, having built 35 out of 57GW in the last decade, and another 88GW on the way, however it's not nearly as quick to expand as solar, wind, and fossil fuels.
People elect representatives to represent them, not to compromise and pass the opposition's agenda.
It's forgivable if the representative failed to obtain enough power, but if they have literally any means at their disposal and don't use it, an unwillingness to use all the power the people gave them to do what they elected them to do is a betrayal of those people.
Even so, I’m not sure I can agree that the best solution to dealing with the right is to fight the centrists first
We aren't able to use electoralism to fight the right as long as the political platform and messaging of the democratic party is 95% the same as the republican's.
The criticisms of the dem party don't amount to "let the right win", they amount to "the DNC prevents any political resistance to the right, they either need to be coup'd or destroyed if we want to stop the right from winning"
I love that scene, you have a table of vicious killers and sociopaths, and even they're disgusted at the idea of someone not tipping.
It just speaks to how dogshit the Dem strategy of chasing the <10% of republicans who claimed they didn't like Trump was.
if the federal government just hands over money with inadequate oversight it will just enrich the companies.
The worst part of this is that that money is not just wasted, it's used to lobby politicians to make it worse.
And to be clear, the railroads don't need more money, back when Biden banned Warren Buffet's railroad from striking, I did the math, they could afford to double their work force, giving them all half the year off, and pay each one of them 100K/year, and still give the shareholders multiple billions a year.
Yes, there's a monochrome display in the middle. It's kinda like a TI-86 calculator aimed at children.
Lemmy just can’t handle someone who’s anti-genocide
They can't when that stance conflicts with their party. Hence why "The dems need to stop the genocide, people are not going to vote for genocide" gets you downvoted.
“fuck Biden for arming Israel” meme that has 1,500 upvotes
Those exist on .world? I see too many "You have to vote for genocide because trump would do genocide and also other bad things" type posts, it'd be weird if they coexisted.
can do some version, though, if you’re interested
Sure if it's trivial I'd be interested, but don't put too much work into it.
