Noise-Cancelling In-ear Kopfhörer. Als jemand mit etwas Hochsensibilität (bin leicht zu überstimulieren via Sound uns Licht etc.) merkte ich erst mich solchen Kopfhörern, wie laut es echt in Städten ist und wie beruhigter ich nun endlich gehen kann. Ziemlich schade und nervig, dass Laute Autos so normalisiert und "unvermeidbar" sind.

Dazu noch: Persönliches Wissensmanagement mit Obsidian.md (https://obsidian.md). Seitdem ich das habe, habe ich nicht mehr das Gefühl Information zu verlieren (die ich längerfristig brauche) und habe auch keine Angst, dass irgendeinw Firma einen Lock in macht (Evernote, Reddit etc...)

Life.

9 months until your game finally goes beyond loading screen. You pay it permanently and cannot stop playing it - and if you intentionally stop playing, you can't play again. No savestates - which sucks for exploring alternatives. You also don't get asked whether you want to play or not as well - you just get thrown in. Also there is no character selection screen and you start with whatever stats, region, context, etc. you rolled.

However, it is definitely quite interesting and gives you really very realistic experiences. Did I mention, that it's much better in its immersion than all the AR/VR stuff and co? You even can properly smell and taste stuff there!

$250m is so little it's easily just budgeted as "business expense if we get caught legally"

What are you trying to say by linking this article?

I mean, it even says that it was a mechanical issue - and the radiation danger was low. And even then, it's just a single person. Looking at the bigger picture, the numbers game favors nuclear+wind+solar over fossile.

Well, that's an unexpected but correct answer

es gibt evidenz dafür, dass solche radikaleren Proteste tatsächlich helfen:

Further, it is the use of radical tactics, such as property destruction or violence, rather than a radical agenda, that drives this effect. Results indicate the effect owes to a contrast effect: Use of radical tactics by one flank led the more moderate faction to appear less radical, even though all characteristics of the moderate faction were held constant

Haha, I actually heard that korok voice in my head

Even when things go wrong, it's not as bad as with the other classic fossile energy sources. Exactly this calculation is included in the world in data source on deaths per kWh which I linked.

When we have car accidents normalised, massive climate change, air pollution from fossile fuels, then even the occasional nuclear accident isn't really a problem.

The problem is, that these accidents get much more attention than they deserve given how many deaths are caused by fossile fuels. When calibrating for deaths, fossile fuels should get around 100x the attention

Such a sweet response!

Oh, I have two good ones:

1. Nuclear power causes less deaths per energy unit produced than wind. (source

2. You have slightly less radiation when living near a nuclear power plant, than living on an average place.

To explain the second: A major misconception is, that nuclear power plants are dangerous due to their radiation. No they aren't. The effect of radiation from the rocks in the ground and the surroundings is on average 50x more than what you get from the nuclear power plant and it's fuel cells. (source). Our body is very well capable of dealing with the constant background radiation all the time (e.g. DNA repairs). Near a power plant, the massive amounts of isolation and concrete will inhibit any background radiation coming from rocks from that direction to you. This means, that you'll actually get slightly less radiation, because the nuclear plant is there.

Well, I didn't knew aviation had so many tax exemptions in the first place... I think they had been introduced in the past century to increase travel and business connections - but these days the logic is different and the tax exemptiona should rather apply to video conferencing software and rail infrastructure instead.

Aha. Great insight.

Can we also talk about all the data collection and analysis which the govt. NSA/CIA/etc. do? 😇
