  • Sigh, we know EXACTLY what to do with it.

    Dig a deep hole into the bedrock, put the waste in dry casks, put the casks in the hole, backfill with clay.

    This has been known for decades!

    I live in a suburb north of Stockholm in Sweden, here in Scandinavia we have a very stable bedrock, I would absolutely welcome a disposal site for nuclear waste in my suburb, and I am talking about a site that would accept waste from all over the world (for a fee obviously).

    It would be simple, create jobs, and allow us to keep using nuclear power to allow for quicker removal of fossil power plants.

    As for Chernobyl, TMI and Fukashima, Chernobyl was a bad design which was run by people who lacked access to information about past nuclear accidents, leading to bad management, TMI had a fail deadly indicator system, where a broken light bulb caused incorrect information to be acted on, and Fukashima was built in a bad location.

    I recommend you to watch this 2006 BBC Horizon documentary, it is called Nuclear Nightmares and talks about our fear of radiation, and weather or not it is warranted:

    A large coal power plant needs at least 10000 tons of coal every day according to Wikipedia.

    A nuclear plant needs about 25 tons per year.

    That is a huge, massive difference in logistics, pollution and use of resources, that is not even getting into the coal ash that is produced by cosl plants, according to the EPA, nearly 130 million tons of coal ash was generated in the US by coal power plants. None was generated by nuclear power plants.

    Please watch the documentary, it is a few years old, but the premise still holds.


  • Yep, but putting your hand in your pocket, and pressing the lock button ten times is faster than taking your device out of your pocket, press vol+, press vol- and hold the lock button untill you get the prompt to turn off the device.

    Also, even after a restart like that I have had my iPhones still default to biometrics.











  • I was into the ThatGuyWithTheGlasses community about 15 years ago, I watched NostalgiaCritic every week, and tye Spoony Experiment often as well as some other channels.

    When Doug killed his NC character and tried to start a new series with a character based of a failed movie director, I stopped watching, then I saw a video about the drama at tgwtg and lost all interest in the team.

    I have watched one or two video from them since when NC was revived, but it is completely uninteresting now.

    I have no exact knowledge about why the gabgs appeared in Sweden, best I can say is the extreme culture clash between migrants and Swedes making them feel like outsiders.

    Sweden in an extreme country with an extreme culture, where as other countries are far, far more religious and family oriented, we are far more individual and have a deeper connection to the government.

    This is quite foreign to mugrants who have trouble understanding us, which makes them push further back against it.

    To be clear, the main issue is the culture clash between Sweden and migrants from the middle east, we have a VERY different culture and relationship with the government.

    The main issue as I see it is that Swedish culture is quite passive agressive, and we have not enforced our culture norms hard enough that they integrated into our society as well as possible, now people have talked about how we Swedes need to integrate ourselves into the migrant population.

    This is why the right is on the rise in Sweden

    Thank you, to be honest I have no idea if this would work, but it would keep these guy off the streets for far longer.

    We give people a lot of chances here, but in the end, why keep doing it if they are not interested in rehabilitating themselves?

    Sweden and Scandinavia as a whole put focus on rehab in prisons, so they get that, prison punnishment is meant to just be the incarseration, not the day to day life, that is supposed to be as normal as possible.

    That is great! The problem happens when people just see it as a vacation, and refuse to learn.

    Then I don’t know what more to do other than making them uncomfortable for longer.

    I get what you are saying, but we allready have a prison system focusing on rehabilitation, and it doesn’t phase the gangs.

    By increasing the length of prison sentences, we atleast keep them contained for longer.

    If you have any other suggestion, please go ahead and tell me.
