I'll accept that, only as long as Americans learn that route is pronounced "root", not "rout".

But I would suggest that any band names that use umlauts/foreign letters should be pronounced accordingly.
Motörhead still kind of works.
- I don't stop thinking, I just do my best to move my thoughts onto something else if I find myself dwelling too long on one thing. Before long, it's an incoherent chain of nonsense, and then sleep.
- If sleep is not coming, I just enjoy that I'm lying down with my eyes closed and getting some rest. I can survive a day or two with just a few hours of sleep, so if sleep comes now or later, I'll be fine. Sleep usually comes.
It's been long established that coal produces more radioactive waste than nuclear power, and largely dumps it straight into the environment.
Somehow people think it's worse if you keep it contained rather than massively diluted. If we thought of it like we do radiation in coal waste, we'd be happy to just dump it in the ocean.
Living in Finland, I'm proud of the fact that we've got one of the first long-term/final storage sites for nuclear waste in the world. YIMBY.
Oddly enough, it's safer than wind.
Solar's a little better in that regard, but all three are so much safer than any high-carbon sources of energy that any of them are great options.
take responsibility [... like] human drivers do.
But do they really? If so, why's there the saying "if you want to murder someone, do it in a car"?
I do think self-driving cars should be held to a higher standard than humans, but I believe the fundamental disagreement is in precisely how much higher.
While zero incidents is naturally what they should be aiming for, it's more of a goal for continuous improvement, like it is for air travel.
What liability can/should we place on companies that provide autonomous drivers that will ultimately lead to safer travel for everyone?
We desperately need electoral reform.
In a more diverse political landscape like the ones enabled by proportional representation, it's very hard for a single party to be able to reach a majority without coalition partners.
If the Tories had to rely on coalition partners, there's no way they'd have been able to hold a coalition together this long - they can hardly hold their own party together at this point.
Nuclear submeringue.
I'm sorry to hear about your loss. Losing a close friend is awful, especially when it's stacked on top of other things.
While I appreciate a 60fps experience as much as the next gamer, this game targets 30fps on consoles. A 60 fps guarantee for Verified status is totally unrealistic.
I agree that there needs to be some sort of performance standards, but not everything has to run at 60 fps to give an absolutely fantastic experience. 30fps (as long as it's a solid 30 fps) can do that too.
Archive.is used to block people with Finnish IPs too, allegedly because of personal immigration issues.
I don't get the impression it's something anyone should ever rely on.
Sounds like your dad was taking about software daemons and Maxwell's demon.
