Considering it's random characters being typed, and a skilled typist who is aiming to accurately type words out can hit between 70 and 100 words per minute - I would say that my monkeys could "type" an order of magnitude fast

Just FTR - 1 character per second is glacially slow - it's 12 wpm - fine for (slow) transcription, but the monkey typing exercise doesn't require them to know what they are typing out

Right - your comment was very poorly articulated - and loaded with supposition. Your claim is that the reason people cannot buy the vehicles ISN'T because they are being dumped BUT because the government SAYS they are being dumped and

by awesome_dude 2mo ago
Yes, I am well aware of the definition of dumping - that fails to explain why people cannot buy them. If they're being dumped there is an oversupply, and people are spoilt for choice. The market is awash with the dumped product. Not be

I love how the pro nuclear crowd deals in misinformation to denigrate anyone that dares not agree with them. They asked for my standard - despite it being a tactic to try and throw the thread, they got their reply and then complained. You d

My understanding is that this material remains toxic to life for thousands, to tens of thousands of years. Safe means that it's stored such that there's no harm to the environment for that lifetime. In all "bury it" sce

I said from the start that the argument you presented was fallacious, and all you did was present it, now, because you have no other argument, you're working on aggressive attacks. You're on your own now. Bye.

by awesome_dude 3mo ago
It's not. The time frame we are talking about invalidates the "safety" because the earth's crust moves and warps, which allows water to access that sort of storage

by awesome_dude 3mo ago
You're repeating the problem - You're saying that there is less waste to deal with which magically means it's safe. You do understand that don't you?

I've never understood how people think "less" solves the issue, it's not negligible and asking to increase the number of plants surely increases the waste. Reprocessing, isn't infinite. There's going to be was
