    Those are very good points.

    This specific source doesn’t highlight it and I don’t have the opportunity to find something else at the moment, but when I first heard about it ( in a ted talk that I can’t remember the name of… ) they had highlighted that health complications followed similar curves. The worsts of course being burning stuff due to dumping it in the air, but that most renewables had their lot of injuries too, that their just less publicized.


    Here’s my full take of nuclear/renewables

    My understanding is that most power grid depending on renewables need an alternate energy source for when power demands ramp up: they need some energy sources that they can tune depending of needs, at the drop of a hat.

    Hydro does that, you can let more or less water through. (I happen to live aomewhere where most of our energy is Hydro) Things like wind or solar are more complicated.

    As an energy appoint source, I think nuclear is a good fit for some use cases.



  • As others have mentionned downloading the .deb and running it will also work, but I feel nobody gave your a tldr of why you may want to follow those instructions instead, so here it is:

    Those instructions configure your package manager (apt) with a new repository for this application.

    The upside to that is that anytime you will look for updates, this app will also get updated.


    It’s a bit more work up front, but it can pay off when you have dozens of app updating as part of normal system operations.

    Imagine a world where windows updates would also update all your software, that’s what this is.



  • I was raised by my grandparents.

    My grandfather was the cook most of the time, and he was always trying new recipies he found online: in years, I don’t think I ever saw him cook the same meal twice.

    Everytime he’d taste something new, he’d enthusiastically comment “it’s different than usual!” (Rough translation from French “ça fait changment!”)

    To this day, I have no idea how good or how bad he thought any of those dishes were.
