It's interesting watching the discussion in this thread evolving and polarizing. Yesterday the discussion started as 'nuclear is one solution in a portfolio of solutions to combat climate change. vs. nuclear is always bad.' and developed into 'nuclear is good and you're dumb. vs. nuclear is bad and you're evil'.

I am only going to be expanding on your discussion of the N-word specifically, and not the larger discussion. While the N-word is abominable in English, because the word for black in a lot of languages came from the Latin word "nigreos", a lot of languages have words that sound like the N-word but are not. The word just means the color black. That's just the etymology of the Latin word. If you have personal experience living in those areas then I'll definitely add more weight to your comment, because I haven't.

It's really easy actually, the difficult part is cooking them.

Hard to say, I've never seen a heat affected zone look like that. I also haven't foraged a sword.

Old mandolin slicers. The plastic on one's produced recently cracks in a year for the cheap ones, or five years for the expensive ones. My grandmother had one that was solid metal. I'm sure it's serving my cousin as well today as it served my grandmother 50+ years ago.

Scientist are stupid removed because they're liars, Sometimes. Gravity is a complete scam! Ask a scientist, any scientist to explain gravity to you. They can't. Newton thought he could, but then Einstein came and proved he was a liar and a little removed. Einstein thought he could, but then some other scientist proved he was a liar and a removed. So how do we know they're all not lieing removed. /S

If those companies that say they get other companies to delete your data weren't just going to turn around and sell their data I might actually sign up for one at this point. Sadly, even the heroes are villains in this story.

I use computer monitors for TVs. Mostly because they're smaller and I don't have that much space for stuff. Most have all those features but don't have a smart interface. I plug them in over HDMI and make sure CEC is enabled so I can turn it on and off with a dumb remote the RasPi. Works pretty well actually.

It's actually not anything new. It's called Pumped Storage Hydropower .

Tripped and dropped a box, worth approximately $220,000 today, of extremely precise tooling meant for a cutting die. I was on my way to my bench to wrap them up safely. Boss was not pleased that day.

Realistically, it's only a matter of time until Steam becomes as enshittificated as any other services. There is profit to be made from Steam selling advertising space and customer data. They can either choose to capitalize on the profits that are in front of them, or allow another company to and take that capital from them. For a business it's not a matter of what's right and wrong anymore but consume or be consumed. If Steam isn't willing to do that someone else will be willing to play the long game and do it. Then it'll be only a matter of time until Steam gets acquired by another company and then it's game over.
