They have 36-38 reactors under construction today [1]. I think that’s a bit more than just keeping the wheels turning [1] https://www.eia.gov/todayinenergy/detail.php?id=67746

You’re just not trying. There’s no reason at all that “generator” can’t be batteries rated for x hours, or a small generator that IS emissions certified. I.e. https://www.reddit.com/r/Generator/comments/1hydy6

The US military used to prescribe larium to members for malaria prevention . That’s the one that is infamous for nasty dreams. 10% of all people who were on it now have permanent psychosis. Oh yeah.

Cerebral malaria is fatal with no treatment in many cases. For kids and elderly it’s fatal even with. Likely this happened because they have no expertise and didn’t know what to do. Imagine if you showed up in a hospital in the us with a st

Do you really notice it with streaming? I have 80Mbps cable, and nothing has ever slowed down. If I download something over a couple of gigs I just get a glass of water and it’s done.

I bought a used M1 air with 16GB and 2TB a few years ago for $1000 CAD. It’s easily the fastest computer I’ve ever used, and I have no reason to upgrade. It chews through 4K footage and ten of thousands of RAW images off my cameras.
