  • Asteroid nearly hits Earth in Siberia, with a 2nd massive asteroid passing this week

  • Neither really convey that it did hit Earth('s atmosphere) and just burned up harmlessly. The title reads like it missed, in which case it doesn't make much sense to me to mention Siberia at all.

  • Does it exist in humans, though? I'm fairly certain that it remains pseudoscientific in humans as well as wolves.

    Oh, wait, I read point two. I stand corrected.

  • Sure, but the joke is skele-ton

  • I think he's proposing a skele-ton which is 0.01 tons, (i.e. 10kg), not a skelegram which is 10,000g. A skele-gram in this case would be 0.01g.

  • Even more confusing when you hear that the odds of catching a disease have increased by a %. In many ways odds can be more intuitive, but we're so used to working with simple probability that it's a total nightmare to wrap your head around at first.

  • Actually they misspelled 'ware', they're talking about who the nation's biggest hero is afraid of.

  • Jeeeesus fucking Christ. John Oliver is pretty funny but it almost doesn't feel acceptable to be laughing during some of that. Anyway, glad I didn't fall for it 😬

  • I got one which appeared at first to be a wrong number, just someone asking if I was Catherine or something. I politely informed them of their mistake. They kept messaging, already a bit weird, but then started saying I was "a nice man, nothing like other men" and I slapped that block button. Idk where it was going (not even a man lol, sorry love) but I'm confident it would have ended with asking me for money... Eventually.

  • Make sure your priorities are straight

  • Nah man, people just love butt stuff. This is not really new, it's just more visible than ever.

  • Ya my little bro is the same. He'll announce some thing he's learned and it collapses under the barest scrutiny... I only hope that the rest of us are able to teach him to apply that scrutiny himself. It's pretty scary how kids just accept shit, if you take that into adulthood... Well, I think we see the results all around us in the world.

  • The procedural generation is the issue for me. Everything feels the same, even though it's random. The animals all do the same stuff, they're just made of different parts... And the "stuff" that they do is basically just walk around. The planets are just lumpy noise. There are no forests, just evenly distributed trees and plants.

  • TURKEY POWER

    Jump

  • Well I agree there. I think we should be focusing on renewables, but like I said I think we also need nuclear unless we can solve the energy storage problem.

  • Thing is this has been said for longer than I’ve been alive, and will probably still be said after I’m dead

    I'm not making this argument in the past, I'm making it now.

    in the intervening 70-80 years we could have and could be actually building the damn things

    Well, they are being built? It's not like the world has abandoned nuclear power. We need the base load, there's certainly an argument to use some nuclear, but the safety and waste issues mean it shouldn't really ever be our only way to generate power, at least until some of those problems are solved. Modern reactors are much safer than they once were, but as I said before - the fossil fuel situation is immediate and pressing. I'm not sure I disagree with anyone who made this argument in the past - renewables are a faster way to convert away from fossil fuels. It's more pressing now than ever, but it isn't a new problem and it's been urgent for a long time. Just because we failed to solve it before doesn't mean we should throw the baby out with the bathwater. What's your reasoning to focus on nuclear rather than renewables today?

  • TURKEY POWER

    Jump

  • The energy problem we have isn't beyond my lifetime, it's now. There is a finite amount of investment available for new energy projects, and if we pour it into nuclear that means 10+ years of continuing with present usage of fossil fuels. Obviously I know noone is suggesting we do only nuclear, but the point remains that renewables projects can be completed sooner and cheaper. Even if we continue to use nuclear to support the base load and decide to develop some level of capability beyond what exists today, the majority of investment should go to renewables.

  • SMRs also produce significantly more waste for the amount of power generated.

  • It's sort of too late for nuclear though. They take years to build and cost a fortune. The time to invest in nuclear power on a large scale was probably 10 years ago (although, was it as safe then? I don't know)... Right now we need answers that get us away from fossil fuels much, much quicker. Nuclear may still be a part of the picture, but renewables are more pressing.

  • After Trump wins the ‘influencer election’, why some Democrats want to create their own Joe Rogan

    Jump

  • I don't really think this brand of nonsense peddling works for the left. There are already many, many comedians on the left providing left or left leaning takes and not shoveling conspiracy garbage onto their shows... Jon Stewart, John Oliver for example. They're popular, but they aren't going to seize the same crowd as Rogan.

  • Fox News host gives Trump voters 1 huge reality check: ‘Let’s be realistic’

  • I want to believe this is true. I hope that things go that way - if America leads a shift in the way the world gets it's goods that could be a good thing. But I'm not sure that's what will happen, honestly.
