It's free…uh…you just have to…uh…yeah. Just have to sign in with your X account …hmm…uh…we made a button that auto logs in inside X and …uh. You can use it without X, yes…uh…sniff…it's just a once a year subscription. And uh…it will be ready by 2025 tax filing season. You just input your SSN number. Factually…it really is already written…I wrote the alpha version…but we are…we have to wait until January. But…uh…we'll solve the auto filing by then…we just have to access all your personal data from the NSA… I'm personally whipping the unpaid intern that is writing it…and then…and then we just migrate it to the X DB. I'm thinking Q1 2026.

Oh, look. Another soulless and devoid of emotion live action cashgrab that somehow has CGI that looks worse than the original animation.

Because animation is for children, eww.

/s

Hollywood is creatively bankrupt.

Oh boy, this joke is so right. But when you see the 20th anniversary documentary it is very obvious why there's not a 3 anything.

Hard take that will expose me and a lot of people might not relate. But I shower at night before bed. I don't shower in the morning. Never smelled or anything. For those who shower after pooping, I'm an evening pooper as well. So, maybe there's something to this. Even with moderate sweat during the day, I never have body odor. It usually takes very heavy sweat from exercise or sports, or two days at least without a shower (very rare occurrence) for me to smell like anything.

Nuclear has gone the other direction. Nuclear power is more expensive now than it was when it began, and is only getting more expensive.

Ask why? don't just stay with oil companies PR talk points. Nuclear is expensive because innovation has been artificially stifled. A huge part of this, is the insistence to forbid newer designs and more modern improvements, and instead force new plants to use old technologies and models that rely on on-site bespoke construction, as well as arcane and arbitrary administrative processes. Nuclear power is expensive (in the US), because it was made expensive by refusing it all the factors that typically reduce costs of technologies. Nuclear power never got to take advantage of the things that made solar and wind power cheaper, because oil companies lobbied with a shit ton of money to prevent it.

It doesn't matter though. Nuclear power could've help us survive climate change…40 years ago. It's too late now anyways. Even if we covered the whole planet with solar power and stopped every single combustion engine in existence, we are already on the way to living in a hellscape. We must focus on survival of the species now.

That's the correct thing to do. If you neglect to do that and try to rush the person on to a car or something without proper pre-hospital care training, the person will just bleed out in the car. Whatever a pressure dressing won't help, won't be stopped without an operating room by a surgeon.

A person with a bleed will survive for much longer staying put with proper pressure over the wound than a person being moved about. Oftentimes, people in panic also forget to call for help. Most first aid preparation is about drilling people to stop panicking and actually call for those who can and know how to help. Crisis, War or not, you are, most likely, not a surgeon or a paramedic, and you don't have a surgery room in your house. There's nothing that a pamphlet can correct in that case.

They already do, but against other left-leaning democrats. The dems have to stop pandering to the right or else they will never win anything.

The discussions here are a bit prosaic, though valid, but on a higher philosophical view you can check Descartes Discourse on the method. It is the basis of all natural sciences and the philosophical foundation of science and rational truth establishment. Maybe grab an explaineer on those ideas.

There are further developments that discuss the sociological proceeds of the scientific community. But the best start point is to always check any statement of truth and fact for four things: controversies, criticisms, corrections and praises. With those four elements you can assert for yourself the credibility of a source's claims.

OP left no indication of whether they enjoy or not. Just that it is hard. And it is hard. Broadcasters are trained formally to do it. It requires improvisation skills, acting and physical and mental stamina. But, it can also be very rewarding. Like most things in life, there's some level of initial discomfort and hardship involved in getting to do or experience cool things. You get to choose what you want to face or not.

The argument I'm replying to is a classic "not perfect, thus not worth it". Its disingenuous and it calls for disingenuous reply. We are also pursuing renewables in despite of their political and technical flaws. The point is that all the flaws that OP exposes about nuclear power also applied to renewables (at one point in history solar power was 10x more expensive than nuclear) and also to oil. They are status quo defending arguments designed to halt thought, paralyze action and scoff change. Just because it isn't perfect doesn't mean it isn't better.

Get a producer or anyone with you and talk to them. That's how radio and TV broadcasters used to do it. They would talk to the console or camera operator. Eventually it becomes natural to talk by yourself. It does look like unhinged behavior without the context. But it is an old skill, as old as radio broadcast. Try acting monologues to yourself, it also helps.

That's an awful take. Most of the whales and people caught in the casinos who suffer the highest financial loses are neurodivergent or people with mental illnesses, kids with their parents credit card, the elderly and overall the most vulnerable to manipulation. Those are the people that the gambling mechanics specifically aim for.
