All of that whataboutism doesn’t stop nuclear from being a ridiculously expensive form of power generation.

Nuclear takes too long to build out and costs way more than renewables + storage. Why advocate for wasting money?

If it’s replacing coal and gas, it’s a big benefit.

It’s not a direct attack on NATO though. If Russia launched a missile at the UK then it would be on like donkey kong.

NATO is a defensive pact, you fuck with one of us, you fuck with all of us. Ukraine isn’t a member but I support it’s application to join.

Thanks! I looked it up:

"Prince Alwaleed bin Talal agreed to roll over $1.9 billion worth of Twitter shares through his Kingdom Holding Company to Musk’s new private company, making him the second largest investor in Twitter. Saudi Arabia’s sovereign wealth fund, chaired by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, owns nearly 17% of Kingdom Holding, according to Reuters.

Meanwhile, Qatar contributed $375 million for the financing of Musk’s Twitter purchase."

I wonder if they’re happy with how their investment is going?

Correct me if I’m wrong but didn’t the Saudis finance the deal to buy Twitter? Given the platform was used extensively by protesters during the Arab Spring, would it be worth it to them to pay for Musk to destroy it?

Bunkers have air vents, right?

It just sounds like a bunch of basement dwellers lucked out and got rich but nothing else changed.

Sure, bud. What happened on 5 December 1994?

Your understanding of the situation is somewhat lacking, I’m being very generous here.

I guess GM have determined that they will come out ahead by losing potential customers with this move but making more money by going the nickel and dime, subscription service route for the customers they manage to keep.

I suspect they’re wrong.

We need HIPAA but for financial information, I don’t think one is necessarily more sensitive than the other. The penalties for leaking, or failing to ensure the integrity of medical records can be severe.
