7·17 hours agoThe US is yet to produce a deployed SMR. In Canada construction of our first started in 2025 and it’s expected to come online in 2030, so probably after 2030. These timelines don’t look amazing at all for deploying power for the needs of hyperscale datacenters.
The post Oct 7 xp changed things for me dramatically. I also used to be BBC, CBC, etc. gold-standardist. I still put a lot more confidence into public broadcasters than the average but not nearly the same way as I used to. I see a lot more of what they do with points they don’t align with. Like the CBC giving significantly more time and page to corporat leaders than unions during major labour disputes in Canada. (Just to give a an example unrelated to Palestine)

I’m sorry what. The West has given hundreds of billions. Not to mention that Europe has paid enormously in high energy costs alone as a result of the sanctions, including through developing a new energy dependence on the US which has resulted in concessions to Trump.
Sure that’s not been enough but framing it as a pittance is just inusltung. Ukraine would have had a Russian government a long time ago without it.

Appearing on NBC News’ Meet the Press, the New York Democrat was asked by host Kristen Welker about whether he backs the single-payer health care proposal, which he previously co-sponsored before ascending to the party’s top leadership post. He confirmed that he no longer supports the measure, saying, “It’s not legislation that I currently am cosponsoring or that I support.”
They’re discussing MBFC and the other two orgs GN uses.

3·3 days agoThey’re not arguing that both do the samr thing. They are arguing that Side A and Side B do different things, and that the things Side A does gives the ability for Side B to do theirs. In other words Side B could never get this many points if Side A did not do theirs.
Dumb example of the opposite - if the whole of the Democratic party starts today campaigning on Meducare for All, No aid to Israel, Withdraw from Iran, impeach Trump and Co and throw them in jail, they’ll win both chambers and if they follow through, this fascist wave will be halted within months. By not doing that, they allow fascism to continue killing, maiming and jailing people. This is what Side A is doing. It’s not the same as B, but B cannot win without A.

7·4 days agoIf you have a tier list of religions with Islam at the bottom, you’ve likely swallowed too much pro-Israeli islamophibic propaganda masqaurading as enlightened atheism. E.g. from zionists like Sam Harris. Not our fault, they spend a lot of work and money on it.
Saying this as an antitheist who’s been on that path.

3·5 days agoIt’s 700-something MHz, a long range / deep building penetration band used by Freedom Mobile. It’s the only low freq band they have. The rest are high freq, shorter range bands. I’m using FP6 on Freedom and it works but the experience is like it used to be before they acquired and deployed band 13. Lower or no coverage indoors, more spots without coverage outside the urban core, higher power consumption as the radio has to use higher power to reach the towers. None of that’s a problem on ROBeLUS cause they have plenty low freq bands that are supported by the FP. So FP on Freedom is fine but not ideal.
