As someone educated in Japanese subculture I thought it was testing knowledge of hasshaku-sama (urban legend of 8 ft tall mistress, you may also find spicy contemporary interpretation too).

People praising this don't read "as reasonablly" clause. There's already wiggle room and political/economic climate involved in how to implement (also, ALARA is not only covering sub microSv/yr realm where background Radiation is about). Moving away from it can certainly loosen the grip in the future, likely at the expence of onsite workers.

All I knew was that Wizards of the Coast used them to seize MTG cards from a youtuber, but TIL their rich history of union busting.

It just looks like personal blocklist considering some users appear on the blocklist more than once (though regular blocklist doesn't allow duplicate)

I just wander what would be like Steam with Valve bandcamp style physical merch selection. haven't cheched but atleast itch.io wont forbid to put link to their physical merch store?

 

They don't, so this stays in my shower

I remember some prof joked on their lecture, that they've been grilled once in EV industry after they presented the environmtal impact comparison between legacy car and EV that includes lithium mining, refinement, waste management cost and how many miles EV needs to offset such cost with its "green fuel" (spoiler: a lot). It was nearly decade ago and I don't know their formula holds today, but it's still plausible such negative externality being overlooked and remaining.

I'm in the picture, will it make me a princess?

Nuclear plant has been historically built nearby water body without water loss (evaporating). Shift to open system happened mostly in US due to regulation in response to marine environment protection. However majority of plants are still located in coast side (UK, Korea, Japan, Finland etc) using sea water, inland one still utilize river water (France).

For new US reactors likely employ open system so your water concern stands, though its open evaporation system is optimized better than unoptimized data center ones.

Closed watet system is expensive and less scalable construction wise.

Nuclear plant employs it because the water has direct contact to the nuclear fuel, containing radioactive minerals. It cannot be released outside without treatment. It is necessity than choice. Companies would've chosen open water system if regulation allowed to so that they don't have to pay the cleanup fee.

Nuclear plant has closed water system and usually dumps heat to nearby lake or sea. It ofc has environmental impact but less on freahwater usage compared to AI data centers that cool machines using freah water and in a way hard to recover water.

Tho when it comes to nuclear plant the elephant in the room is the hazardous waste it produces that takes next 100,000 years to settle. We're doing "let's fuck around bcs we won't find out in our lifetime" again.

Wind (and tidal) are affected by climate, may become unsustainable and imo the true free energy is solar.

Its symbolic move of defiance. Calbee has been queried by the govt for contradicting their "no shortage" claim.

Petrol firms in Japan suggested the cabinet to take measure in reducing demands bcs they knew the numbers better in April but govt ignored.

Calbee didn't retract their decision aftet queried. The shortage is true, it's a marketing to make it clear.

That sounds like FIRE than NEET but idk there can be overlap.

 

From announcement post:

Hi, I am a locale leader of SUMO Japanese community. I have contributed to the Support over 20 years, before the beginning of support.mozilla.org.

Today, November 4, we decided to end our SUMO Japanese community.

In October 22, the sumobot was introduced to Japanese KB articles. I cannot accept its behavior and no words.

  • It doesn't follow our translation guidelines.
  • It doesn't respect current localization for Japanese users, so they were lost.
  • It approves its direct English MT immediately for All archived KB articles.
  • It approves only in 72 hours after its updates, so we lost our work to train new contributors.
  • It has been working now without our acceptance, without controls, without communications.
  • Over 300 Knowledge Base articles are overridden by sumobot.

They are all happened on the product server, not on staging server. I understand that this is mass destruction of our work and explicit violation to the Mozilla mission, allowed officially.

Therefore, I (marsf) declare:

  • I quit to contribute to support.mozilla.org.
  • I prohibit to use all my translation as learning data for SUMO bot and AIs.
  • I request to remove all my translation from learned data of SUMO AIs.

However, individual Japanese contributors may want to work in their responsibility. It is their choice, we don't care nor support.

Bye.

 

I'm tired of guessing which country the author is from when they use cup measurement and how densely they put flour in it.

 

We never know the number of undiagnosed, many may be just capable of pretending but suffering.
