I mean they've clearly seen it before, just asking if this version came from the same creator as the original. I wondered the same thing. Also, way to not answer the question in a very verbose way lol

Read that as United Atlantic Vultures and did a double-take. Not so far off though.

I'd call that a rattlin' bog

Is there a link to the study being referenced? I couldn't find any citations. Ocean acidification is worth talking about, but this article is sensational as heck. Constant use of dire language ("safe limit ... exceeded", "crucial threshold ... breached", "safe boundaries ... crossed", "sustainable levels ... exceeded", "close to the danger limit") with no values explained or interpreted for the reader and only vague references to imminent catastrophe.

Maybe it's talking about this new NOAA dashboard, it's hard to tell, but I think this was a much better read:

Where else do you like find that kind of info? I still have a Tom's Hardware shaped hole in my heart what needs fillin'

It's not as uncommon as you might expect -- here is a list for the curious. And I don't mean to denegrate nuclear energy as a power source; it is vastly better than fossil fuels and safe when done correctly -- I have participated in the safe generation of nuclear power. But the ramifications of it being done incorrectly are severe to say the least, and everyone should be aware that we do commonly have issues with it, especially in aging facilities. We commonly extend plants decades beyond what their initial construction planned for.

Edited to say I just realized you said meltdowns, not radioactive leaks, which I do agree with. Sorry for confusion

This isn't true -- radioactive gases were leaked into the surrounding area. The containment vessel remained intact, and NRC concluded that no measurable harm was done, but there was definitely a release and that's why it was such a big deal. They evacuated children and pregnant women from the area in response.

Did you just turn Success Kid into an angry/upset reaction? Rude!

I was known to yank a power chord or two back in college...
