This past month I've probably gathered more anger towards the average progressive american atheist then your average american christian has.

Christians: what do we want? god real. then let's see how we can reinterpret science to make god real.
Leftists: what do we want? abortions legal. then let's see how we can reinterpret the constitution to make abortions legal.

Roe vs Wade was doomed from the start. Haven't even spend much time analyzing leftist's reactions and tactics from this perspective, but I'm already starting to see things that should make a progressive atheist ashamed... if he weren't hypocritical.

What if Jews weren't real, and they were just a figment of racist people's imagination. Wouldn't that be funny.

Well there's your problem!

Jokes aside, how did you manage to screw up a gimp install? Google where Gimp keeps it's config folder in Windows (probably C:\users\nukie\.gimp) and try yeeting it.

I'm not accusing anyone of molesting children. But I am starting to question just how close and for how long did those fuckers get to the children, when most of the cases so far seem to have resulted from sexual contact, usually some sort of orgy.
You don't have to be molesting children to be in an inappropriate proximity to someone else's children.

How the fuck is a literal tank less tall than me?! This doesn't make sense... I call shenanigans!
Although me being 6 feet 4 inches probably doesn't help either, but still.

This is the multiverse we deserved but didn't get.
Remember what they have taken from you.

And the heat efficiency loss is also a well known problem. And all of these are known symptoms of how well the current foto-voltaic solar panels "handle" full sun. Which is, meh. Solve the initial significant loss of efficiency and the heat efficiency problem, and I'll be impressed.

I didn't even bring up the slow tapering off, and I don't ask for it to be solved, cause something like that is to be expected. Things wear off when exposed to the elements. I'm ok with that. I'm not ok with things wearing off suddenly in a few hours, and I'm not ok with my green energy sources needing an air conditioning unit to work at peak efficiency.

Dude, Fukushima and Chernobyl are nowhere near in the same category. Fukushima actually had amazingly low radiation leak considering how bad the tsunami was. Heck, it had a low radiation leak altogether.

As for Chernobyl, even ignoring the obvious culpability of a corrupt communism regime that didn't give a crap about safety, as opposed to anything we have today; using Chernobyl as an argument is like me using the first solar cell ever invented as argument against solar panels. It's retarded. Compare current tech vs current tech, not current tech vs primitive and intentionally flawed design that was made as such to be cheap. We have much better nuclear power plant designs currently in use, and better still designs not being put in use because of Greenpeace-type morons.

Ok, now THAT'S clown world level.

Ok, it checks out. Thank you for your cooperation. Have a lovely day!

Don't know where you got your "hydro is not a reliable source" from, cause hydro and nuclear are pretty much the only day and night reliable sources of electricity that aren't fossil based.
I'm sure you'll say something to the effect of "you need rain", except there's a reason you build massive damns and artificial lakes for hydro plants, so you have insane amounts of water buildups to last you through droughts.

Depending on how you define reliable, and where you place them, solar and wind can be good too, but if you plan to power an entire country only with them, that ain't gonna work. They have their place, but I still want the reliable power plants on a constant standby.
There's a lot that can be done with battery storage, and I've heard about some promising projects, but unless you find a way to build good batteries out of only very common metals, like aluminium or iron, I still think it's a bad idea. We can't rely on rare earth elements or lithium to do the job. There won't be enough to go around.

The idea (agenda) to reduce carbon is fine in my book, my issue is with doing a top-down approach, instead of letting it naturally evolve as a bottom-up consequence of market forces.

As for nuclear, I'm 110% with you. There's nothing I'd want more than an increase in nuclear power. Have a Moore's law of nuclear power plants. A doubling of nuclear energy production every two years. That's what we need.

@meowski @waltercool
Define "handle". There's currently no foto-voltaic solar panel tech out there that doesn't lose a good amount of efficiency after the first few hours of usage. And the decrease of efficiency due to heat is no psyop, is a real issue and limitation of current tech.

Sure, they "handle" full sun, but doesn't mean they actually have full efficiency. Kinda like a wind farm handles storm winds, except you need to put the breaks on it, cause otherwise it tears itself apart, so it can't actually generate energy at 100% of what should have been its optimal efficiency.

Problem solved.

@waltercool
Not sure what they mean by "Europe's solar industry is starting to buckle", but solar panels do have inherent flaws relating to "too much such", the main being that as they heat up, they're less efficient. And since sunlight usually heats up anything that is even slightly dark... yes, "too much sun for solar panels" is a sentence that makes perfect sense, and is not clown world territory.
