The small reactors on submarines can maneuver very quickly without causing fuel damage. Less power per core = less heat generation. Large reactors are limited by flux rate because they can have such high localized heating during maneuvering which has the potential to damage fuel. In that sense, SMRs could raise and lower power to meet demand or even operate on full power/standby basis like what gas plants offer during peak load.

I can’t speak to the strategy of an electric utility using SMRs, but to your point, I would think the idea would still be base load. Build a site with the potential for more SMRs to be built to meet demand in the future.

For sure. I just mean that I take no personal pleasure in the money instead going to further enrich an already rich person that technically has invested in him and his businesses. What I mean to say is eat the rich.

Yeah for sure. To me it sounds like “hey, non-union employees. You better be pushing union employees to accept less or we will just cut your jobs”. The headline alone feels very much like a threat.

100% agree that unions are vital. That being said, I’m a current non-union employee that was promoted from union employees who I now supervise. They are in contract negotiations and I hope they get the best deal possible. I see it as mutually beneficial. Unions are absolutely necessary for workers rights. The “maybe they used to be” argument is total BS. Businesses exists to make money and if asking someone to do something unsafe makes a business more money, they will find people to do it every time. Bit of a digression on my part all to say I think I agree with you.

Hooray for people losing their jobs? Celebrating something like this is missing the point.

In reality this is some rich asshole arguing over pretend money given to another very rich asshole. The headline should be “board member who has way too much money sues Musk for money they would prefer be distributed to shareholders which includes them”. I’m probably missing something here, but anyone involved in this definitely sucks. Sure…Musk has no reason to be enriched further. In all likelihood neither does the person suing him.

Cops who get paid to investigate cops when they cop. A system that works flawlessly works every time.

The first season is that show was gold. I liked all of it, but that first run was on another level.

I think what you’re saying is correct in terms of him not being tried. You can’t be tried for the same crime twice.

It is really frustrating. I blame Stephen A. Smith and Skip Bayless. Kidding, but seriously. That style of commentary is absolute crap. Yelling is not an affective way to get your point across.

Yes. I work at a power plant in a large department. The best “ratings” that dictates our bonus multiplier is limited to five people because there are certainly only five people whose performance exceeds expectations. /s

#SaveTheChildren huh?

Then when challenged on the lack of a process to seek exception the response to doctors is, “well we wouldn’t go after you. Trust us.”. Right…

It’s a good one!

A long vehicle (truck, SUV, some crossovers) is MUCH easier to park with precision by backing up in my opinion.

Arkansan here. Can confirm.

No one talks about if, but I think the underlying cause is feeding the capitalism machine. We have an aging workforce and people aren’t having kids at near the rate needed to replace them. If people won’t have kids they want, force them to have kids they don’t won’t. It’s fucked up, but I think there is some truth to it in addition to virtue signaling to their base.

If you would just recycle, we wouldn’t be here.
