It is a paradox because there’s no objective, universal definition of tolerance. It’s literally impossible to be tolerant of everything. So you’re left with different forms of what intolerance people deem acceptable.

People make the same mistake about bigotry. It’s impossible not to be a bigot. You just don’t want to be the wrong kind of bigot. Now if only we could all agree on exactly what that was.

Take a look at how the median income in America compares to your country.

It’s a bit too positive to encompass all that is elitism.

It’s not fishy (at least not intentionally so). It’s a limitation of their database. It can only show 1000 comments. So it won’t find your very old posts when you sort by them.

So they’re not restoring comments. It’s just very difficult to find your old comments to actually delete them.

That’s just flat out wrong. Reprocessing is significantly more expensive at current uranium prices.

And so many states would throw up tons of roadblocks for reactors shipping their used fuel offsite to a central reprocessing facility.

No, not directly. You’d have to divert it and only irradiate it for short periods of time (30 days rather than the 18 to 24 month cycles that current plants have).

Proliferation isn’t a significant concern for reprocessing within the US. It’s primarily a concern for other non nuclear weapons countries that start it because they can then create nuclear weapons.

The US has no need to do that. They have more plutonium than they need for current weapons and it has a half life in the hundreds of thousands of years so it will last forever.

The benefit of the 4k is that you get HDR. On a good TV, that’s far more noticable than the resolution improvement and certainly worth it.

But then you’re looking at 60-100 Mbps bit rate for good quality (50-80 GB file size for most movies).

Where are you getting that? This says 15 Mbps.

I’m sure you’re going to have a worse or slower experience particularly when scrubbing, but it should be just adequate.

That’s not a great comparison since I’d categorize the Bolt as being fairly inefficient. It has poor aerodynamics (wrong shape and no flsf bottom) which results in a larger range loss when range matters most at interstate speeds.

The Bolt is efficient in city driving, but not otherwise. I’d say a better comparison would be between the Mach e and model Y where you do see a meaningful difference in efficiency.

The issue is energy density. There’s a reason why boat tanks are ~6 times larger than a cars gas tank. That’s why they’re so expensive (plus batteries are much heavier).
