I am using the 6th of July, if you are using it American date convention it would still be the same: 06071996

This is such a cheap shot, nuclear power generation and waste disposal is mostly a solved and highly regulated and enforced problem. I can just as easily ask what is the solution to the waste regarding batteries/panels? I know the industry is saying recycling, may I ask the figures, especially regarding normal folks at home.

Don't get me wrong, I am pro solar just as much pro nuclear. The future should be a mix of what works best at a given location and constraints. Solar saved my country South Africa, read about how a corrupt government destroyed a world class energy company, built the most cost and time overrun and largest two coal plants in the world, they fucked up. We sat for years in the dark and the private sector built the same capacity, using mostly solar, as the two coal plants within 4 years.

Recurring blackouts, load shedding, are a thing of the past.

No, Kruger was the President who fought against the British during the Anglo-Boer wars. And we Boers lost. But he did fight for independence from British rule.

Mandela fought for freedom for all in South Africa, when Apartheid was legally adopted in 1948, Mandela fought against the government of the time. Basically all people lost freedom, white people lost the least freedom (more minor inconveniences like cannot marry different colours or do business with other colours) and black people the most (where they live, what they can own, what they can do, almost everything needed the whites permission). So there were different tiers of people, (closest today that I can think of is India's caste system (but not nearly as similar or violent).

Mandela, with de Klerk pulled off a miracle, they ended Apartheid without a civil war. We had a bloodless (mostly) transition, adopted probably one of the best liberal constitutions in the world and became a constitutional democracy.

Mandela made everyone of us free in South Africa. Do we have issues, fuck yes. But we are working as a country together. Mostly the biggest issues now are systemic corruption on all levels of government, low growth and unemployment. But as I said as a nation we are improving and getting better. Not overnight, but we are heading in a better direction, especially without Zuma at the reigns anymore.

Jeez as a South African looking at our own nationalised train/railway service, called Transnet, all I can say is good luck Britain, really hope you do not follow our footsteps, please learn from us. Luckily thanks to all it's failures the government has started privatisation of certain parts with amazing success, similar to our Nationalised electricity provider Eskom being forced to allow private generation into the grid. Hopefully Britain has systems in place to ensure there isn't anything like corruption that loots funds through connected businesses or putting incompetent people loyal to the ruling party in charge as a form of rent seeking.

Good luck Britain, hopefully yours turns out great, like how I am hoping for privatisation to turn our railways around

What NY saw on a certain day in September 2001

I think this is a more general question to my question, what factors make a war grab public attention. I think some people helped me nail some of the aspects, configuration of ideology, beliefs, being able to determine good guys and bad guys easily, does it affect them directly (oil prices I think are affecting everyone for example), and being proximate, for example Ukraine being on the doorstep of western Europe.

But it makes me wonder, is it morally wrong not to know or care about other conflicts, as stated attention spans are limited, is it wrong when mentioning one conflict to say what about another. I think this just came out of curiosity because I feel fatigued (looks like my short attention span) regarding the three "S-tiered" conflicts on most media and social media, and wondering if other conflicts are not also worth my attention, and then I asked why there was not more news on other conflicts and then basically my question.

Sorry feels like a brain dump

I know this might be unrelated, so just a guess, but would people who are doing weekly injections, maybe bi-weekly or daily, also be more prone to take the flu shot and generally be medically more active, due to their inclination of trying to improve their weight/sugar levels using a medical injection. The article also mentions that this only proves correlation and not causation, which is hats off to gizmodo, but can be interesting if causation is proven in a future study

The first prize will be to stop pollution. Honestly I do not believe this will ever happen, my opinion and I may be wrong, I speak only for myself.

So second prize for me would be to start stratospheric aerosol injection with additives to planes or whatever to at least cool the earth similarly to volcanic eruptions that block radiant sun heat.

Getting close to 1.5mil...

Yeah every issue is basically a mystery that will lead you down a rabbit hole, be prepared to learn a lot of things and copy and paste code you do not fully understand, well if you are a layman like me

No still error 1009. Don't worry, I assume there might have been a valid reason.

I think this has to do with the Soviet Union back in the day that supported basically all the liberation struggles. Technically Ukraine then also supported the liberation struggles because you were part of the Soviet Union. But I know Russia has basically slipped in and claimed all the credentials for themselves.
