The votes suggest people do not think I am "shitting up the place," I think you're just using that as a gaslighting tactic because you enjoy being manipulative.
The legislation directs the NRC to examine its licensing process for new nuclear technology and study ways to speed it up. It also sets aside federal funding to cover licensing and permitting costs for the first advanced nuclear power operator to successfully deploy its technology
Strengthen its workforce by allowing the NRC chair to appoint up to 120 exceptionally well-qualified people into the excepted service at any given time, plus up to 20 more into term-limited positions in any fiscal year.
Looks like a handout to investors who got caught by all those startups with ideas out of a physics class weed circle. The Super Conductive Americium Metamorphosing reactor is 100% proven to work on paper, get in at the ground floor of our high tech pyramid-shaped funding scheme!
That and jobs for the boys nonbinary individuals who come to work in stolen women's underwear. Throwing money at the democrat-captured grant-consuming academic do-nothing wing of the nuclear industry.
And they got Republicans on board just by saying it was pro nucular.
Call me when they're making it possible to build more copies of actually working plants instead of one-off prototypes.
You put a lot of effort into this reply and he ghosted you because he got bored of trolling. So he won, and you lost because you allowed him to troll you... Again. For what, the 7th year running now?

I have pretty much had it with people who ranted about "trump disrespecting the troops!" now waving the flag of Hezbollah who actually killed a lot of those troops.
The next time a Democrat starts regurgitating NPR at me I'm going to end up saying something friendship-ruiningly impolite because I just can't hold in the anger at this stupidity any more. It's almost worse than 2020 because the deranged hysteria isn't happening in unique circumstances.
How do you all deal with this every day?
I mean, your answer was "it depends on what you mean," and you confirmed that you do go out of your way to give extra leeway to "heterodox" posters who get "hot under the collar," which obviously seems to include posters like "antifa" and the kind of rude behavior that results from hot-under-the-collarness.
I don't think you're manipulative, and don't have a problem extending mod charity to real minority posters rather than ones that show up to troll and bait; notice it wasn't me complaining about your moderation in that thread--it was 4bpp, and I only jumped in to ask that question because other mods had denied it before.
Most of that is that you moderate without the snarky comments amadan uses to bait out behavior he can ban people for
You gonna apply that to outlaw83? I seriously doubt it.

You should have said "hang him while wearing a silly wig", then it would be legal and morally in the clear.
By sheer effort of will and an abundance of charity, I can go hours (sometimes even days!) without telling people I'm going to put them into camps. It's encouraging when site moderators are held to the same standards as the users.

This is exactly the attitude I'm talking about. Blowing up at random observers who aren't even questioning your overall argument just for asking about weird and inconsistent details.

The sitting on the toilet thing is real. I haven't had hemorrhoids, but breaking the habit of sitting there on my phone got rid of a precursor case of itchy-ass from inflamed veins. Also cutting out coffee -> no coffee shits -> happier asshole.
Shocked Google AI would say something negative about anal sex tbh. That's basically blasphemy.

I'm unsurprised to say the least. Have you guys made any progress on hiding votes on mod actions? That would really help the old consensus machine a lot.
If anyone thinks I'm being rude to them, I'd like them to say it so I can apologize properly.
Disregard, I am retarded and mixed it up with treatment for a nasty livestock parasite.
I believe the rabies treatment is extremely unpleasant, but maybe I'm mixing it up with something else. It also had a poor success rate

Frankly if the only choice is between a bullet in the back of the head from a friend vs an enemy, I'll choose a friend every time.

This describes my anger about the cynical exploitation of the killings, and the conflation of genuine historical study with a politicized made for TV mythology.
shower faucets suspended from the ceiling from which gas was then released
How? Zyklon B was a delousing powder thrown into a room from a vent, not some Dick Tracy comic book shit. It bothers me that literally none of the details ever match up and the people using them as arguments just go "oh yeah, well it's not my job to explain why"
I want to believe the Germans built a poison gas pump system activated by weight sensors in the floor and a clockwork timer, because that's obviously how the Germans would over-engineer it. But all the other evidence says "no they just threw in a can of delouser and shut the vent just like they did for clothes"
So why does nobody even try to keep it straight? Why the flip flopping between a sensible motte supported by archeological evidence, and the bailey of believing eye-witness testimony about electric roller coasters that dumped people into ovens?

In most circumcised men, the most sensitive part of the penis is the circumcision scar. Most circumcised men do not realize they have a circumcision scar or what it is.
This is amazing because I was just trying to find a non-weird way to ask guys here if they had a very sensitive spot at the top of the shaft right behind the head, where the foreskin folds back to.
(There isn't really a non-weird way of asking that, is there?)

I'd be able to buy a mansion with the extra dues from the national American statutory rapist association, so thanks in advance.
Just got 750Wh out of testing a 400W solar array, in January, with a peak insolation of 250W/m^2 (near the Canadian border).
The technology has gotten so good and cheap that if you have any kind of battery backup you'd be insane not to include panels to top them up.
750Wh is enough to run 46W of stuff for 16hrs a day, so internet plus a laptop, lights, and phones. That's with 40lb of panels ($170) and a $100 battery.
In the summer thats going to be high enough to run some refrigeration too.
Keeping light loads on battery helps use your generator efficiently too, because running them constantly for light loads is wasteful on petrol/gas and their limited running life. There's no need to run a generator just for house lighting any more.
Best part is that if you use the energy all the time, your "UPS" will pay for itself, by my count in about 3 years thanks to some pretty good sale prices (and utility power costs skyrocketing 8%/yr due to typical mismanagement)
I'm seriously thinking of scaling up to an ~8kW array to zero out my summer power use and keep all critical loads going in the winter.
Looking at pics of his ear I suspect it was glass or some other fragment. There's hardly any actual tissue damage.
