Threee mile island was only a partial meltdown, and very little fission product was ever released to the environment. Nowhere near as blatant and drastic of a failure as what happened in Chernobyl.

Recount time?

If America hadn’t responded to Chernobyl with fear of atomic power and instead adopted a “this is why communism will fail, look how much better we can do it” attitude, the climate crisis would be a non-issue right now

Tommy Tuberville is slept on as a candite for the “Most harmful senator” award. He’s such a bold-faced boot licker and hasn’t done a single thing to uphold his oath of office

Unless there’s nuclear war, there’s no such thing as the point of no return. Just a further slide into more egregious civil rights violations. Eventually it will get better, hopefully through democratic means and not violent ones.

Hey now, they’re happy to decentralize the feed management so they don’t have to worry about processing user’s custom feeds themselves!

Not necessarily. If it’s after the electoral votes are cast, then yes, definitely.

But the electors are bound by different rules, set by their respective states, on how they would vote if Trump died before then.

Hyundai is listening to what consumers want much more readily than other manufacturers, and their body designs strike an incredible balance between modern familiarity and retrofuturism. It’s almost exactly what I want from a new vehicle, other than the fact that they use all the same forced telemetry that other brands are using.

They’re also offering a great spread of electric AND hybrid vehicles to satisfy consumers worried about charger availability as well as consumers worried about the impact of gasoline-powered vehicles.

I won’t be surprised if they continue to increase their market share for a long time to come. If only privacy concerns were as common among the broader population as they seem to be here in the Fediverse, then maybe they might address those issues as well and be a no-brainer purchase.

The birth year range for different generations is fuzzy, but I can’t find a single source saying that 2006 or 2007 would be considered gen Alpha. The youngest population that voted in this election is gen. Z, and not all members of Gen. Z are eligible to vote yet.

This was immediately above the 196 post you copied in my feed

However, the economy being good is not often actually good for the customer. It’s just a slowing down of things getting worse.

You’re right, I’m sorry. I would advise you not to eat nothing but Chicken McNuggets

Something tells me he was also getting fiber, vitamins, and minerals from somewhere during that time, so unless you have a dietician on call to help you balance that out, don’t eat nothing but Chicken McNuggets.

Total asceticism isn’t sustainable. Indulge in things that bring you joy, and recognize that over-indulgence cheapens the experience and has other drawbacks. Find the balance that works for you, otherwise you’re just sacrificing mental health for physical.

Too complicated for 90% of voters to comprehend.

They saw: Democrat president made my groceries more expensive

They heard: Democrat replacement will do things around the same as they used to be. Republican guy is going to do things VERY differently.

And the herd mentality took over past that point

And the slim but heavily armed majority of this country will definitely see that as legally justified self defense and have no choice but to accept it peacefully! Right?

I don’t thinks that’s what the flavor "Rocky Road’ means

I guess the USSR and USA had mutually assured destruction by means other than nuclear

The decising factor in most elections is how expensive things feel. Now, the president can’t do a whole lot to make things cost less. But they have a hell of a lot of power to make things cost more. So the BEST we can hope for is a president who slows down how fast things are getting more expensive. But when we’re spending, we don’t feel the current inflation rate, we feel the cumulative effect of inflation for the past few years.

If your ballot is submitted, there’s nothing more to do.

If not, I’ll see you in line at 7:00 tomorrow!
