You can safely swim in the pool of an operational reactor, the ocean near Fukushima is perfectly safe.

American pharmaceutical ads are weird. I guess I’m just not free enough to understand them?
Wow, you simply stated your own experience, and you get almost as many downvotes as upvotes.
Lemmy is quickly becoming as toxic as reddit.
Fantastic. Tremendous. This pile, and I have to say I have seen many piles, this pile, of shit, is the greatest pile of shit, that anyone has ever seen. Period. Do you think crooked Hillary has a pile like this. No. Only me.
Nice work!!
The post office system is socialist, so are functions like public roads, and fire and police services.
I’d argue that having the government provide a service isn’t enough to call something socialist. In “The Wealth of Nations”, Adam Smith said that in a free-market economy, the governments role was to provide defence, law and order, and public works (eg. roads and education). If we’re using Marx’s definitions for communism, then surely we have to use Smith’s definitions for Capitalism.
That particular argument doesn’t hold water. We don’t generally subscribe to this kind of argument.
The general principle behind the specific argument you bring up here is this: All expression which is likely to inspire someone toward illegal action should itself be illegal.
CP is likely to inspire some people toward child abuse. Child abuse is illegal. Thus the distribution of CP should be illegal.
We don’t do this anywhere else.
Yes we do. Plenty of stuff is banned by federal law. Snuff films, for the same reason as CP/CSAM. Obscene pornography (stuff showing abuse or degradation, even if it’s just acting) isn’t illegal to posses, but it is illegal to buy, distribute or carry across state lines. Ivory is illegal, unless you have a certificate proving it is from pre-1989. These are all banned to stop demand.
And that’s not even getting started Americas long history of banning books.
It’s a combination of $2000/day wages, combined with a “I’m smarter than all those idiots who died” attitude.
They definitely use incandescent globes for heating as well. I just remember when I had fish, the shops would advertise neon heat lamps for terrariums. (I think it might have had something to do with infrared heating, but I’ve never had a terrarium so I’m kinda guessing now.)
If that’s old-school it’ll be neon, modern ones get the same look with LEDs. If it’s flickering slightly, it’s neon.
Large ones are pretty rare these days, because they’re horribly inefficient at turning electricity into light. The main place you’ll still find them are as heating lamps (for things like terrariums).
Just gotta clarify here.
A member of the Thai government request help from Elon/SpaceX. Elon responded with a viable solution in a few days by putting all his best people from SpaceX and Tesla on it, then sending them to Thailand with what they’d built. Then the cave-diver was asked about Elons proposal on national TV, and he said Elon should shove it up his arse.
The cave-diver was the one who started slinging insults unprovoked, which is why he lost the case.
Reagan wasn’t the cause, just a symptom.
The evangelicals switching from politically neutral to Republican in the 70s is where the change started.
And old people getting stuck in social media echo chambers is what kicked it up a gear between 2008 and 2016.
You can’t have a communist economic policy without being authoritarian. It’s human nature - once money is removed as a motivator, society breaks down unless you motivate people some other way (not being sent to the gulag).
BuT CO2 iS pLaNt FoOd! Why do you hate plants!
Didn’t you read the article bro? There’s no rent in international waters, and he ate free fish and rainwater.
Crisis over!
Did you read the article? That’s what they tried to do in Victoria, and it’s part of the reason for the blowouts.
Wow, what an embarrassment for Australia.
You gotta watch out for those Lifeguards with Lugers.
