Yes, lets generate more tons of nuclear waste that won't be safe for 500,000 years. Hey, we haven't figured out a way to get rid of the existing super-hazardous nuclear waste. Per Google:
More than a quarter million metric tons of highly radioactive waste sits in storage near nuclear power plants...
racocn8 replies on Jan 17, 2022:
@FearlessFly You are wrong about Molten Salt Reactors not producing nuclear waste (long-lived radioactive daughter products). No known fission process can avoid producing highly radioactive daughter atoms. If you can describe such a process, I'd be interested to know, but Wikipedia agrees with me (see below).
Fission is a random splitting of heavy nuclei. These nuclei are stable by virtue of the ratio of neutrons to protons. When they split, the smaller nuclei have ratios of neutrons to protons that are unstable, usually very unstable. The nuclei must radiate negative beta particles in order to recover a stable ratio, usually several times (Emitting betas changes the neutrons to protons). Because the splitting is random, the daughter nuclei can be almost anywhere in the lower half of the periodic table.
Per Wikipedia:
"The discharged wastes are mostly fission products (nuclear ashes) with shorter half-lives. This reduces the needed geologic containment to 300 years rather than the tens of thousands of years needed by a light-water reactor's spent nuclear fuel. It also permits the use of alternate nuclear fuels, such as thorium."
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molten_salt_reactor
As this information is generated in a politicized environment, it is suspect, even in Wikipedia. The point is that highly radioactive materials are generated, and the worst waste requires significant reprocessing to separate it from what can be recycled. The highly radioactive waste still needs to be sequestered, and our political processes have been unable to agree on a disposal mechanism.

Which oils do you think contain carcinogens? Links?
racocn8 replies on Jan 16, 2022:
@azzow2 Carcinogenicity is a complex subject. In the 90's, I had a search done on black pepper which was known to fail the Ames Test for mutagenicity, what was thought to be a stand-in for carcinogenicity. It turned out the Ames repudiated the test he developed, saying that numerous molecules are mutagenic, but that DNA repair enzymes fixed the damage. It may be that cancer develops when these defenses are lost.
I'd be very surprised if perfumes cause breast cancer. Skin cancer is far more likely, especially on the upper chest which is exposed to sunlight and UV radiation.

@UrsiMajor Neither 1. Muller's report nor the facts of the insurrection weren't enough to convict Trump because the Republicans are corrupt to the point of violating their oaths to the country.
2. Dem's don't have the votes in Congress because both holdouts are also willing to violate their oaths in return for money, which is to say they are also corrupt.
3. Repubs might try to impeach Biden, but for what? And they still need 67 votes. Now if Biden violates the law and is impeached, Kamala takes his place. Not good, but it could be so much worse.

@UrsiMajor I believe Mueller collected all the proof needed for Trump and a number of his comrades. He testified before Congress that Trump could be charged on Jan 21 of 2020, if the new administration wanted that. Many of the crimes were committed out in the open, so getting the documentation can't really be the issue.

@JeffMurray Drugs/supplements can help redirect one's mood. I suppose it may be elitist to claim and advise that one can control their emotions. I think everyone tries to control their emotions, but with varying degrees of success, and some issues hit so deep that they are unprepared for that challenge. Still, control of emotion is a goal one can strive for, or blow off. "Situational management" - - more easily said than done.

To consume CBDA or CBGA, one has to consume the actual flower directly rather than smoke it. The extracts in the gummies are the decarboxylated neutral form, CBD. Very little CBDA or CBGA is available commercially (except from me).

Trump's 2016 campaign investigation needs to be re-opened but this time without the restriction on business and finances. Biden needs to declassify intelligence related to Trump's interactions with Putin and the same for Giuliani, Flynn, Manafort and Bannon, and expose everyone with a Russia connection. That also includes McConnell and his whole caucus. He should release the phone recordings that Trump illegally stored on the classified server. You get the idea.

Garland has everything he needs, if he needed it. Trump isn't going down, and we shouldn't fall for still more lies seeking to tranquilize us. Trump has immunity, protection, and sanction from the real power brokers.

As previously noted, many other acts of illegality are actionable, have already been researched, and are more-clear cut than Jan 6.

@Greatest If this was true 60 years ago, it might be encouraging. But seriously, how much progress are we making on the factors. Are children surviving? Are women becoming educated? Are children no longer conscripted to work in the fields? And germane to the Catholics, is family planning accessible? Progress might be being made to bring babies down from 5 to 2, but what we need are one baby per 5 couples, and that ain't happening. When sea levels rise 10 feet, we'll probably lose half or more of our arable land, and that's just the next 20 years.

@altschmerz I absolutely agree with you that MSM sucks. However, I would also say that Fox sucks much worse. The vaccine controversy is a typical conspiracy theory, but MSM does not give conspiracy theories nearly as much air-time as does Fox. I still suspect that anti-vaxxers are getting their bad information from Fox. MSM may have provided bad info in the past as detailed in the video, but these were sensationalistic segments notorious for their slipshod reporting. The video went back several decades to detail MSM's sins vs the current news programs of the MSM vs Fox. Did the video mention Fox once? Doesn't that seem more than a little biased?

How women dress is a sore subject. How did distressed hobo jeans become a thing? It's scarcely better than the clown clothes women use to hide their bodies. So much of the gender dress needs serious discussion, but no one should hold their breath. Women will remain sex objects until they (are allowed to) move forward.

@JeffMurray Where is free will if it is not within the purview and control of consciousness?
What would it matter if realization was preconscious?

racocn8 replies on Dec 26, 2021:
@surrealhoax @jeffMurray Harris's argument is that the decision-making occurs and can be detected in the lower parts of the brain, before the "self-aware" part is conscious of said decision. All this assumes that Free Will resides in the frontal cortex. Maybe that assumption is right and maybe not. Maybe Free Will needs more definition or is a total misnomer.

Yes, when the US 'won' the cold war. It's so much better now, with the ruling class of America, as effectuated by its Republican Party, sucking up to the Soviet Union's leftovers like Vlad Putin and his oligarchs. A day to remember. The phyrric victory of 1991. These days it's another country that ...

The old trope about communists buying the rope with which to hang the capitalists is coming true. Ah, but they made a profit; that's what counts.

@phxbillcee And when Christians burn a village, what is that? How about when they burn millions of people? "Why, that is God smiling and approving just desserts for those that killed his son." That is Christianity.

Can there be any doubt that Isaac Newton did more for humanity than all religious founders combined?

Except that after coming up with the laws of motion, Newton then wasted the rest of his life on religious bullshit.

Why didn't God simply will it to happen? Why bother with angels? Except the whole of the Exodus story is pure myth. Egypt never used Jews to build its pyramids and no evidence for Moses has ever come to light, at least according to Israeli archeologists.

@Storm1752 Per Pew: "Secularism has a long tradition in Jewish life in America, and most U.S. Jews seem to recognize this: 62% say being Jewish is mainly a matter of ancestry and culture, while just 15% say it is mainly a matter of religion. " But the percentages for secular Jews in the US may be higher than the totality of Jews. I'd be curious to know, out of those 'secular' Jews how many still believe in God.
