I have. I would probably use my last phone for at least another year if it didn't loose system updates. There's too much important personal data (bank, photos, messages including medical info...) on the phone to risk using it unsupported. At least to me it is not worth it so I try to buy a phone with reasonably long support and buy a new one soon after the old one looses support.

Cars are also not safe, especially at 200+ km/h but somehow it's OK to drive them this fast in Germany.

Edit: What I want to say is that there is no absolute safety.

Unfortunately use of fossil fuels also continues to hit record numbers year after year.

I think it's an error. It's should likely be Nissan Quashqai. Or Hyundai ix35/Tucson.

Hehe, I walked right into this one. You're right. I totally failed at trying to be a smartass.

Why are you comparing fossil fuels and nuclear "per tonne" that makes no sense. You replace tens of tones of nuclear fuel per year any you burn millions of tones in a comparable fosil fuel plant.

And regarding the carbon emissions from enrichment... Just use nuclear to power your enrichment plants. This way your emissions are extremely low because you don't need much fuel and you use nuclear energy to produce nuclear fuel.

(Established) scientists have a long history of ignoring new theories not science itself. But that's because at the end of the day scientists are still human.

Science is not great at working on a very short time scales. But give it enough time so more evidence is gathered and possibly some stubborn influential people (that can't accept a new theory) die and generally we get closer and closer to truth.

It all depends on what is actually trying to be communicated. With your definition most meals would be plant based so why even bother to say it. With definition where plant based means no animal products it communicates that it is fine for vegans and it's likely less offensive for people allergic to word "vegan".

Language is interesting in this way. Same words in different contexts mean different things.

"Based on true events" = "Contains traces of what actually happened"

"Plant based" = "Does not contain animal products but can contain mushrooms even though they are not plants"

Homo sapiens also doesn't originate from Europe.

How far back does it count? Humans originate from Africa so everything we do can be seen as Africans doing things with stuff from all over the planet. Or perhaps even that is not far enough. What's the origin of the first mammal... The only contestant is change and life is good at mixing things up.
