It’s a weird argument for them to make: We are too exhausted to make a short game so instead made an entirely new full game.

They didn’t try. They did one then it was years before episode 2.

You have to actually make episodes before declaring it a failure.

Yes you have to build for worst case. That’s what I already said.

You are comparing overbuilt nuclear but acting like bess can’t be over built too. That’s why the cost of storage is the only important metric.

You need an absolute minimum of 2 nuclear reactors to be reliable (Belgium has 7). That doubles the cost of nuclear. But it doesn’t matter because that’s factored in when you look at levelized cost. You look at cost per MWhr. How reliability is achieved doesn’t matter.

Bess is $200 per MWhr.

I never heard it called the Elvis operator! Thanks!

It looks at the cost of power generation

Yes.

But then you added the requirement of 90% uptime which is isn’t how a grid works. For example a coal generator only has 85% uptime yet your power isn’t out 4 hours a day every day.

Nuclear reactors are out of service every 18-24 months for refueling. Yet you don’t lose power for days because the plant has typically two reactors and the grid is designed for those outages.

So the only issue is cost per megawatt. You need 2 reactors for nuclear to be reliable. That’s part of the cost. You need extra bess to be reliable. That’s part of the cost.

“Donald Trump Won More Black Voters Than Any Republican in 48 Years”

Deport Melania, and the anchor baby. Oh, I forgot, immigration law doesn’t apply to Republicans.

You bastard! I have stuff to do today!

This is old news now! Here’s a link from 5 years ago. https://www.forbes.com/sites/jeffmcmahon/2019/07/01/new-solar--battery-price-crushes-fossil-fuels-buries-nuclear/

This is from last year: https://www.lazard.com/research-insights/2023-levelized-cost-of-energyplus/

As to uptime, they have the same legal requirements as all utilities.

I was pro nuke until finding out solar plus grid battery was cheaper.

Solar with Battery grid storage is now cheaper than nuclear.

Unfounded for the main cause

Which means not usually.

That it could be caused doesn’t mean it is usually caused.

Unfounded means it isn’t usually. It means there is no correlation. It’s not usually.

But the person didn’t say he remembered nothing. He said half the time he didn’t remember what friends talked about. Another person said they were fuzzy on their childhood.

You told both that wasn’t normal and suggested childhood trama. Being slightly to one side of a normal distribution curve doesn’t mean anything.

Rape is what you call it when a Democrat does it.

Alleged sex with minor is when Republicans do it.

Being able to remember everything from your past is extremely rare.

Every ten times you search for dice it puts one vote in the dm category. The next time you need to search 100 times.

Do you know anyone in your personal life that fell victim to a scam? Used car? Telemarketer?

How many times would it take that victim being scammed by the same person before you called them dumb?

You would forget most everything. Even big events would become fuzzy. Do you remember what you had for lunch on this date when you were 5?

“Well I read in a book that I was there. I can’t actually remember more than a few hundred years back.”

Ashildr from Doctor Who was brilliant.

Ugh! Now I have the desire to play Super Star Trek. Because the cool kids in the computer club (they had very limited space in the computer room and I didn’t get in) got to play it on the mainframe teletype.
