  • I could be mistaken but wasn’t the issue that when the rods were fully withdrawn the graphite was also partially withdrawn so when they scrammed the first thing that happened was an insertion of positive reactivity from the graphite which was enough positive reactivity to burn up all the xenon which then caused the reactor to go prompt critical?

    Like the presence of the graphite wasn’t that bad but it combined with a lack of interlocks and improperly trained operators was the big problem and of course trying to start up at the peak of a xenon transient is never ideal







  • A person putting a hidden camera in a child’s bathroom to get videos of them naked is also child porn and they also deserve violence upon them.

    Making sexually explicit AI videos of minors absolutely deserves violence

    If the article instead said the girls father who happens to be Mike Tyson punched the 13 year old boy so hard he had brain damage I could see an argument for that possibly being excessive.

    With an emphasis on “possibly”

    You are either uninformed or callous to the amount of damage that those videos can have to a 13yr old girl.

    But the actions that boy took likely permanently altered that girls life for the worse including a significantly higher chance of suicide


  • DEI is not about having quotas for X amount of every group even though people like to spout that nonsense. It’s about removing hurdles that people may have that may seem innocuous

    For example if a job that is done fully remote is requiring people to interview in person a DEI analysis would look at that and say that’s not very inclusive of the disabled who may struggle to do the in person interview even though they can perform all the duties of their job with their disability so we should offer remote interviews

    Like all other initiatives that start off fine, you also do just end up with some upper manager who tells some random middle manager with no experience to make things more DEI and that middle manager does some stupid shit


  • There is literally a law that prevented things like posting “this shutdown is caused by radical left democrats” on the banner of official governement websites

    It has literally never been done before

    You can make an argument for some amount of propaganda that lives in everything but nobody ever posted a picture of a bag of cocaine and used it to blame a previous president….

    This is magnitudes above anything that was done before it’s like comparing casual trash talk to sucker punching









  • Mandates are authoritarian it is a governing body putting its authority on to you. It’s the literal definition here is a dictionary definition if it helps

    It’s also authoritarian to mandate don’t commit murder or don’t steal.

    This is a mandate from a governing body that strips away freedoms that previously existed. No idea where this idea of morality is coming from but it sounds like you might be mixing up fascism with authoritarianism. Fascism is an extreme form of authoritarianism with a heavy right wing influence as well.

    I am not calling for a lack of uniforms

    Socialism has a state which makes mandates upon those it has power over again text book authoritarianism but THAT DOESNT MEAN ITS BAD

    I am not saying all authority is bad as it is needed but if you make a sliding scale of how much authority a governing body has and you take a neutral scenario like a school and you add a mandate that forces students to follow a specific dress code that’s a sliding of the scale to auth and away from anarchy
