My wife is the person I literally tell everything.

Not much scar tissue if you see your partner your bff.

Not much of a relationship you have anyway if you withold things.

I'm even sometimes take pictures when I experience alone because I immediately want to share it with her.


If only you would understand the context better.

Germany was not allowed to do nuclear after WW2.

German then took the Three Mile Island accident much more serious.

And later in the 80 there was tchernobyl. Even today you need to check some meat you hunted from the Bavarian forest against radiation.

Tchernobyl is part of Germans history too.

Germany has double the density of France which makes nuclear even harder to do.

I really hate comments like yours, simplifying complex things like this makes it out that we are just too stupid for nuclear... No there are reasons


It isn't complex. Germany's behavior is pure phobia. Japan has an even higher population density than Germany and is still pursuing nuclear. The simply fact is, nuclear is among the safest energy source possible. With modern safety standards and Germany's lack of plate tectonics, it is basically impossible for a serious nuclear event to occur in Germany.


Ah so it's pure phobia. Interesting.

So you checked all reasons and concluded that's it?

What studies did you consult?

And even if it's 'only' phobia wouldn't it also be a problem of politics and education then?

And while I don't necessarily against nuclear, I do really believe that every investment in nuclear would be much more beneficial towards wind, solar, geo, power lines and energy storage.

Why?

Makes people more independent and therefore the country better equipped for catastrophies. It creates synergies with all other energy storage problems like ev's, laptops and smartphones.

It makes people more energy aware.

The investment will push prices down for everyone including 3th world countries.

Less risk for dirty bomb material.

No long term storage problem.

Less dependencies to other countries because Uran etc doesn't exist everywhere while the other materials are much easier to get globally.

Also castor Transports are super expensive and the whole supply chain too due to terrorism risk and health risk.

I also have worked with plenty of people in my life, the assumption that people are always able to handle dangerous materials which are not visible harmful feels stupid.


Since science has clearly found nuclear to be one of the safest energy sources possible, it is phobia. Literally no German has ever died from one of its own nuclear reactor.

None of those issues are as big as the challenges of climate change. Nuclear waste can be buried or reprocessed, supply chain problems are much smaller than dependency on Russia oil & gas, and Germany is much more at risk from Russia aggression than the very remote chance that anything they do with nuclear could be turned into a weapon against them.


> Germany was not allowed to do nuclear after WW2.

How does that matter today?

> Germany has double the density of France which makes nuclear even harder to do.

Yes, same is true for any other source of energy.


It matters because it's part of our history in regards of awareness to the technology and research and development which we lacked timewise and human resources wise. People in the 60 potentially worked less on these topics in Germany than in France.

The density is relevant in point of risk.

It's easier to find empty spots in France or more very rural ones than in Germany.

Also additional to this, France is more centralized to Paris.


I really hate comments like yours, trying to justify bad decisions instead of admitting you're wrong.

Of course there are reasons, they are just not good ones. They were bad then, and disastrously bad now in light of the climate change threat.


You really need to read and understand my point.

I didn't say that this is or not is a good position we are in and if it would be better or worse if we had more/much more nuclear.

The main point was that extrem simplified 'suggestions/comments' like this add 0 value. .

And your last sentence is just captain hindsight visiting...


Explain Japan.


I made my point: simplification like ops comment is shitty and there is more behind it than just 'we are stupid'.

Japan: controlled from the top. Criticism is not culturally appropriate.

For example in Japan there are not really stand up comedians who criticis other people due to culture.

This implies than it's much easier to do nuclear again independent of what the people of Japan want or not want.


Popular opinion has been in favor of nuclear since the war.


> This implies than it's much easier to do nuclear again independent of what the people of Japan want or not want.

Oh excuse me, I didn’t realize you’re a populist.


Oh there is at least when you are part of a house.

My old co owners did not like my proposal for allowing it.

It's just that now (and I'm surprised actually) the law will come.

I'm not sure if it is too small of an real issue for the old people or only them care about the optics of non architectural relevant buildings


Crazy how fast the peaces fall in place.

A big text corpus gives quite a huge amount of context.

SD also got better through this


Any discount for a fellow hner? :)


'more or less'.

In Europe they are working very well and are used constantly.

.de is used by most Germans. .fr french, .at etc.


Switch was broken through a Nvidia tegra hardware bug.

And Nintendo Fokus on gameplay and not doing the hardware race makes emulation much easier for current games (switch is also really old by now)


So the opposition now is responsible for the decisions of the party in Power?

Ah yes I don't think that this works that way


I'm not sure if I get it.

How do you use them?

And why is the eink display so slow?


Ah, you can use them like playing cards, like Magic the Gathering or something similar, but the cards can change when placed on a base. This unlocks game mechanics which aren't possible with only cardboard.

The display is slow because I'm doing a full refresh to prevent shadowing.

If you're used to really quickly animated "e-ink" screens like those on the Pebble watches and Playdate, those are actually memory-in-pixel LCDs. While memory-in-pixel is very low power, it still requires some power at all times, whereas these true e-paper screens hold their image without any power at all.

Also, they're the cheapest displays I could get.


Mmhh but you only get 3 cards right?


Oh, you can buy as many cards as you want. Figuring out how to make a good game without too many cards is definitely a constraint. At $15-20 a card, a 60 card deck is pretty pricey.


At least in Germany the discussion about mandatority took too long.

And it was plenty discussed at that time.

But the Querdenker issue was too strong in comparison to a lot of other eu countries
