I enjoyed the lightbringer series by Brent Weeks which matches your criteria.

Just be aware that it's not finished and there's a good chance it never will be.

Do we ever give the death penalty to someone who kills someone by accident or in an unfortunate situation?

You analogy might be relevant if the DA knew the person was innocent and intentionally framed them and/or continued to prosecute. But it's not remotely the same to have done so and been mistaken.

You obviously didn't read the article as creating more stable schedules is exactly what they're doing.

Is it enough, probably not. But let's not make up lies.

It doesn't need to publicly respond. A pm would be sufficient.

That is certainly a better value option if you can still get the drivers and amps for a reasonable price over there.

I went the DIY route as well and build 2 of the VBSS style subs. I wanted to build something bigger, but my wife vetoed that. AVS forum has plenty of information on design options you have.

I'm not sure why you call it fake gay. While it's not universal, it's still common among gay men.

I wouldn't say this is correct. Candu reactors do have an advantage in that they don't require enrichment, but I'd say that they use fuel less efficienctly since their discharge exposure (in units of gigawatt-days per ton of uranium) is much lower than LWRs.

I'm also not sure where you get the idea their waste has to be stored for a shorter period. They use thermal neutrons in fission so they end up with a near identical set of fission products in their fuel to LWRs.

That's not the only reason the US previously made recycling fuel illegal. Also note that it's not currently illegal. There are no laws preventing you from setting up a reprocessing facility in the US.

What is preventing it is the fact that it's more expensive to reprocess than it is to just buy new enriched uranium. Plutonium also has some less favorable reactivity characteristics that make the plant response to transients worse which further worsens the economics (you need to buy more fuel to overcome the impact this has on thermal limits).

The US has a similar percentage coming from nuclear and similarly only produces a few tons of high level waste each year.

You can fit the entire amount of spent fuel that the US has produced on a single good all field at a depth of less than 10 yards.

5 guys is better, but also more than twice the price.

In N out isn't the best, but they're the best for their price.

What's your basis for saying that they don't have paid leave?

It absolutely makes a massive difference. But you unfortunately need to spend $500+ on a subwoofer to get something that outputs the full range of what you can hear. There simply are zero subwoofers below that price point with adequate output in the 20-35 Hz range.

With regards to 4k, I can understand not caring for it. I agree that for most viewing distances and TV sizes, there's not a massive difference. However, 1080p TVs also don't have good HDR or the wide color gamut.

Upgrading to a 4k TV with a good peak brightness (at least ~1000 nits) will be very noticable. I especially notice it in anything with fire. It looks so much better on a 4k HDR TV than on a 1080p SDR TV.
