I will guess that they sit around wearing berets, smoking cigarettes, watching movies with ultimately pointless endings that make no sense.
On the other hand the French are considered romantic
They're not stupid either, I wish I could read their reports. Like your government they can see the signs of inherent failure in nuclear isn't *if* an accident is going to happen but *when*, the human failure in the decision making chain is inescapable.
The French described Fukushima as "Apocalyptic", I don't remember where, and they were right, an accident of that scale anywhere in Europe would be catastrophic for the whole EU so at least Germany acted on that knowledge. I can't imagine an accident at Fessenheim would be something your country would be too pleased with.
However, I can't talk to the nuclear morons today with their static linear minds. TEPCO are playing the Japanese taxpayer with the remediation of Fukushima, they are way out of their depth. Rumors of illegal fuel storage and that Unit 4 was being upgraded. Civil engineers pointing to the concrete damage was not caused by the earthquake and implying a neutron pulse *could* have done that damage.
However our Nuclear Narcissistic friends won't allow the conversation to go anywhere probing the truth of the nuclear industry anywhere in the world in the game of asking for proof and citations but never providing any.
IIRC, the French maintain the test ban treaty monitoring stations around the world and so probably know better than most how Fukushima radio isotopes have been propagating around the world, Funny how the US civilian monitoring stations all went off line after the accident.
The bit at the end kind of sums sodium reactors up: "In 1956, U.S. Navy Admiral Hyman Rickover
IIRC A demonstration to Admirals curious about why sodium cooled reactors weren't being used involved a small piece of sodium dropped into a container of water, displacing the water all over the Admirals, followed by the demonstrator simply saying "Questions?"
Rickover would despise the current crop of nuclear advocates having been quoted as saying "Stupid people? Better of dead, really." He didn't want stupid people involved with nuclear reactors.
It is a witless exaggeration to say that USA is Nazi.
Sure is! I was trying to figure out why you made it.
BUT when you're as far left as you are, everyone to the right of Mao Zedong looks like a Nazi to you.
You appear really angry, I think you are having an emotional episode. Try to calm down. I know you've been deceived, so I don't blame you for that but one day you might be able to see through the whole Left vs Right paradigm. Or continue to be a useful idiot - I don't care which.
Have you considered another country? One with a more accommodating left-wing government that implements the policies you favor?
Right now my lobbying is to protect US citizens from 4th amendment rights violations, I bet that affects you, so I prefer to direct my efforts to where I will have the most impact. What specific way have you attempted to participate in democracy lately? Bought a bumper sticker?
Bolivia, Cuba and Venezuela are all good choices. Let us know how it works out. Bon voyage!
Well at least they have free health care, maybe I'll drop by and get my feelings checked, for free.
You've come to an interesting conclusion based on open U.S history. The U.S was infiltrated by former Nazi party members who were given lead roles in US government positions as a result of Operation Paperclip.
I'm impressed that you've educated yourself enough to know this.
Other than the whole, USA provokes the Nazis into declaring war and then leads an invasion that crushes them.
So what you're saying is by waiting until the last 5 minutes of WWII the US realized they could negotiate a good deal on former British Empire military bases around the world in the guise of Lend Lease and nurture surviving Nazis into designing a space program and implementing a "Patriot Act" in the U.S so that it would destroy itself from within.
You're right, I never looked at it that way before.
Other than that the AmeriKKKans were totally pro-Nazi! Wait, what?
I admire your patriotism. You'd never allow ignorance to manipulate your government to where it is today, I've got no doubt your tireless letter writing campaigns to defend free speech and democracy are effective. My country right or wrong even if the orders are given by Nazi's because you're not like those gutless fucks who are to much of a pussy defend their democracy with a letter. You'll get in there and put the jackboot on any neck you're told to because you're a good citizen, you'd do it even if you weren't told to. Iamrite!
I agree with everything except the frog. That frog thing is a myth.

You are right. I should have used the fist fucking analogy of "slowly stretching the anus wider than a goat.cx picture" which is more accurate in these circumstances.
Very high, however the demand to fix their broken crap shitty code is even higher. Any fool that invests their money in business infrastructure this cheap deserves all of the downtime, errors and customer problems their non existent QA department didn't pick up on.
They pay their management highly so they have no qualms about being cunts whilst they earn people's contempt.
This system will be heaven for people with Narcissistic Personality Disorder because they will be able to extend their abuse onto anybody they meet in a meaningful way. They will be able to charm and connive all of the social goodwill they need while causing serious damage to the people they abuse.
Social media is the vehicle for personality disorders to spread.
really concerned as to why and how lyft and uber drivers are being psychologicall hoodwinked....
If your company is based solely on competition as opposed to collaboration you can screw over anybody. Look at their business model, taxis annoyed people because they were slow, cost too much, unresponsive, heavily regulated and unwilling to upgrade their services.
Uber used that as their entrance to the market.
Make the deal sweet at first to attract drivers so that they compete with taxis, sweeten the deal a bit for a while, then boil the frog. Uber's relationship with their drivers is one to one. Making drivers compete with each other means they are never in a position to co-operate with each other to secure a better deal for themselves. I doubt a driver has much contact with other drivers so they are in a prime position to be screwed over with greed and isolation.
Uber are a nightmare that people haven't woken up to.
Instead of powering Norsk cruise ships to carry around the One Percent, wouldn't it be better to use those dead fish as fertilizer to grow food to feed the other Ninety Nine Percent?
Just move the 99% into the 1% and we can all be the 1%.
You should run for Congress.
That's the point I was making.
You'd probably win in just about any blue district.
Basically, the applications are really vast for a scanner of this design for both research and high resolution and high throughput of clinical patients.
This is something I've wondered about from a fitness and prevention perspective. Even a single scan is useful over nothing. A scan of your body internals as it changes over years would be fantastic diagnostic resource.
What a great contribution to science and medicine!
My kitty cat (aka PET) was sick once and had a full body scan. How is a human different? Yes, longer, the scanner has to scan more, but not impossible.
If he smoked in a legal state and in a legal manner he was behaving.
Some states have legalized pot, but selling, using, and possession are still federal offenses.
The Federal government has several very public incidences of where it has broken *it's own* laws. Enough of the population use Cannabis to suggest that Federal law on this subject is about as antiquated as alcohol prohibition, it's beyond time to end it in all western countries.
Musk is a CEO, not a high school student. He needs to grow up.
I think that the real issue is that Musk has quite effectively shown that people's attitude towards cannabis needs to mature. So if we are going to have a grown up conversation it is reasonable to point out that both Tobacco and alcohol kill you (eventually) when used as directed.
Not that I mind a beer, however that should be the attitude towards Cannabis. No one ever gets into a tizzy about someone having a beer, you can even drive after one or two.
If we were having a really grown-up conversation we would be discussing how the prison guard union lobbies against ending its prohibition because it allows prison populations to be sustained so that they stay in work. Same with the Prison companies who want a cheap controllable work force constantly available.
Alcohol lobbyists are against ending cannabis prohibition because sales will go down, obviously, once people find out they can get wasted without having a hangover.
Rayon corporation are against ending cannabis prohibition because sales of artificial thread will go down.
There's more, these are the lobby points I remember off hand.
However the best one, if anyone remembers Citizen Kane, is a story loosely based on William Randolph Hearst who worked very hard to criminalize cannabis so that he would not have to bare the costs of replacing his printing presses around the US when paper manufacturers found that paper made from cannabis was cheaper to make and a better product than wood pulp paper. IIRC it also requires less chlorine to produce hemp paper, so perhaps a grown-up conversation about cannabis could include the damage to the environment its prohibition has indirectly caused.
In a way Musk has subtly shown that he isn't "that guy".
Slashdot Mirror
Protect US citizens?
Yes. Do you value your fourth amendment rights?
But you hate US citizens. I don't get it. Borders are a false construct, you're a citizen of the world.
You're projecting your own attitudes and opinions. They're your feelings, not mine.
Why would you help the world's worst oppressors?
That's your characterization.
I will guess that they sit around wearing berets, smoking cigarettes, watching movies with ultimately pointless endings that make no sense.

It's a good game.
Exactly.
C++ programmers at $15/hr?
You get what you pay for.
Written at home or in a cafe?
They can't afford either.
What kind of software is it?
Shit.
Where is the demand for that kind of stuff?
Very high, however the demand to fix their broken crap shitty code is even higher. Any fool that invests their money in business infrastructure this cheap deserves all of the downtime, errors and customer problems their non existent QA department didn't pick up on.
They pay their management highly so they have no qualms about being cunts whilst they earn people's contempt.

Same as in pre WWII Germany, where Ford sold trucks and IBM Holerite machines.
(IIRC) U.S companies sued the US government for bombing German factories they invested in.

What really sucks is that we can't even do the research to find out if that's true or not.
Yeah, schedule 1 is a double bind for that.
Dave, my old roommate, did all the research we need.
It turns you into a paranoid, lazy, low functioning fucking moron.
More than likely Dave had some emotional issues.
True that.
I think that was the whole joke already. Hint: they called it their 'PET'. Hint, Hint.
Thanks for explaining, I was asking a serious question. I hope his CAT is OK.
huh-huh - hey everybody I see his ding-dong!
Then you should get out of the urinal.

You have to trust that there is no-one there smart enough to consider that option or dumb enough to point it out.
My kitty cat (aka PET) was sick once and had a full body scan. How is a human different? Yes, longer, the scanner has to scan more, but not impossible.
Are you sure it wasn't a CAT scan?

I bet you also stupidly and wrongly believe pot is completely harmless and has no negative effects on human health and well being.
Do share your evidence for this statement.
"Safety Probe!" I shouted as I rammed the rocket shaped dildo deeper and deeper
At NASA it's actually called a Auditing Nasa's Alimentary Limitation Probe and from what I heard it can be quite intrusive.
The people paying the bills get to set the rules.
Considering the state of lobbying in the US, never has a truer sentence been said.
