One study suggested that the reactors could produce more nuclear waste than current systems and that they “will use highly corrosive and pyrophoric fuels and coolants that, following irradiation, will become highly radioactive.”
If you can work it properly, molten salt reactors are MUCH safer and more efficient, because the waste heat from fission products cannot cause a problem with something cooled through convection and conduction of a molten salt. You can't really have a destructive meltdown when the coolant doesn't care if the fuel melts. The problem is, most previous attempts ended up with the reactor catching on fire. Not a dangerous fire, exactly, but generally not the outcome you're looking for.
On the waste front, neutron activation of water produces tritium at worst, which you dispose of by putting it into a bigger body of water. Neutron activation of the molten salt coolant can be more difficult to dispose of, but it's not exactly a major problem.
Molten Salt reactors are great at recycling spent uranium and don’t really cause pollution. If anything they reduce pollution because they create less nuclear garbage.
If it was that big of a problem folks would be doing PUREX reprocessing with all nuclear fuel. Not a clean process, but reduces the overall mass problem you have with spent fuel rods. No matter what you do, you just can't burn off the fission products that last forever and ever. You can put them in a container the size of a coffee can that still emits a similar amount of radiation as a whole rod if you want, but I'm not sure I see the utility. They just take those and vitrify them to make them bigger to take advantage of the inverse square law and make them safer to handle.
As long as uranium stays cheap, neither reprocessing, breeders, or reactors that eat the plutonium they produce really makes sense. You still need a similar site to store the waste regardless. As it stands I don't think we'll see uranium being a significant part of running a reactor in the foreseeable future. (As long as you're not a nuclear weapons state that doesn't have a robust fuel enrichment program, like India).
Diesel subs use snorkles when using their engines and batteries for silent running. They work a lot like diesel/electric trains, in that the diesel engine is acting more like a generator for an electrical engine.
I want you to understand something: what you're asking about is much more basic than critical theory. You're talking about the sociological theory of race. I'd avoid trying to understand critical theory without some more basic sociology building blocks because you frankly won't understand what they're talking about otherwise.
I could only recommend an introductory college course since that's where I picked up the basics. Hopefully someone else has better resources. An important thing about sociology is understanding the different approaches there are to things and the language those approaches use.
I honestly am sure Activision doesn't see it that way. This further cements that it's a golden goose they need to protect. This level of a captive audience is incredibly valuable and I'd bet heads will roll for endangering it.
I have had a tendency since my earliest days on social media where I will get halfway or more through a response, and end up just cancelling it.

Don't worry about it. If you were really wrong someone would chomp at the bit to reply to you about how wrong you are. If they're not, you either have an unpopular or popular enough to be spam, opinion.
Excess oxygen is actually harmful to humans, but all the climate warnings are about losing oxygen, not nitrogen edit: but when we look for habitable planets, our focus is ‘oxygen rich atmosphere’, not ‘nitrogen rich’, and in medical settings, we’re always concerned about low oxygen, not nitrogen....
It would work in the sense that you could breathe it. It would not work in the sense that the gravity of a planet that actually holds a helium atmosphere (as opposed to it flying off into space) would be uncomfortable.
You would still have the same age, gender, personality, skin color, etc. and you would be able to speak at least one local language and would know basic information of the era and place. Your family, social standing, and such would be randomly picked.
I just like doublets, I think it gives some interesting perspective. Those pair with fever and thus fervor as well. Different levels of burning/boiling.
You should know very well that it's not that simple with any regime the US props up. South Korea has been getting better, but it has a nasty history. Mass murders, disappearances, it's not pleasant. It's not like the revolts they were having in support of the North were fake. I think it took them until the 1990s to have a government that wasn't a military dictatorship with reeducation concentration camps.

Using version numbers to name a game that you're still updating is fucking weird. I would've figured valve would have well and abandoned 1.6 by this point.
Oh for sure. We already had complex social relationships that involved lying when we were only homo erectus and likely incapable of speech and were hunting full grown elephants and hippopotami(yeah, simple stone tools against those monsters required some serious teamwork). I think that creating a social face for those you DON'T know, though, had to come about once we were in a situation where there were people we interacted with that we didn't know. Hunter/gatherer societies generally still operated with too much of a cohesion for you to truly be "fake".
I highly doubt any language is more correlated with authoritarianism, particularly the English language. There is a cultural aspect to collective action over individualism, but I think authoritarianism is a base human personality trait.
I'm sorry, but proclaiming that Jews are conspiratorially poisoning the world against whites is not remotely related to Israel/Palestine. It's blatant Nazi shit. Muddying the waters is also generally crypto-fascist shit, but I don't know you and I'm not going to put that label on you. Just realize that's what you're doing.
NMS is a good example of creating a situation where people don't WANT to pirate your game. People will buy it to play with friends and it's generally a good deal. Compare that to Paradox games, who monetize everything, which I'm convinced are mostly played through piracy.
The board voted unanimously. Someone is losing their job. If you do this sort of shit without a single elected member supporting you, you deserve to reap what your fascist ass sows.
Seems dumb. Care is provided through collaboration of those entities and is generally local. This sounds like it will function fine for the areas of the province without access issues, but throw those with access issues under the bus.
In the states, it's actually usually integrated except for nursing homes(continuing care in this model) and to a lesser extent behavioral and addiction (though that's often integrated with acute care). In many places a single metro organization (like hopkins, frederick health, and meritus in maryland) will have all the other legs.
Being spread out just makes it harder to administer when private because you don't have the whole pipeline to control.

With a user base that mostly consists of a mix of economically liberal privacy advocates and leftists, I wouldn't expect too many to view a company like Google to be a long term positive influence on the world.
The subhead is important in getting the gist of this article "study it now." Meaning the ridiculous amount of research on Twitter was dumb for awhile, but now that it's changing it might be worth looking at.
They also point out why it's not going to happen
Refocusing on studying X won’t be easy. It will require new methods and approaches that do not depend on the large amounts of data that were easily accessible before.
The API access was what made it so heavily studied and the current costs are why this change isn't going to be low hanging fruit for researchers to pump papers out on.
