Is that why the animetitties sub now has actual anime titties again instead of being a more serious version of world news like it was for a while?

2012 does indeed still feel like a major inflection point.

Thank you for telling me all this neat stuff! :D

I think I get what you are intending to imply by the word "intuitively"; it's that it eventually becomes as reflexive and fluid as touch-typing itself.

Gosh you make it sound almost like you play Vim like an instrument more than use it...!

Honestly that sounds cool ^_^

the internet was awesome for like ... twenty years. thirty if you count the era where people mostly communicated through newsgroups and such. it feels like the enshittification was so sudden...

If I wanted to hear about what's good about Vim, should I:

a) ask what's good about vim

-OR-

b) assert blindly that there is nothing good about vim so fanboys will come crawling out of the walls tripping over each other to tell me how I'm wrong?

And in order for hydro's effects to be most easy to curtail, you need very specific terrain topology - such as where I live, in the Springfield area of Massachusetts, there's a hydroelectric dam on the Connecticut River in South Hadley/Holyoke (the two sides of the river at that section):

The dam was built where there were natural falls. So the dam leveraged the fact that the change in water elevation was natural and already extant prior to the dam's existence. They've had a fish elevator system for longer than I've been alive, too. Rather than changing how the hydrological system worked in the area, the dam stabilized it upstream such that the water level up the Connecticut River from there is more consistent than it used to be before - whenever there's more water than usual, the dam can increase spill rate.

The city of chicopee, across the river from holyoke and just north of springfield, also has a hydroelectric dam, also built where there were natural falls. This region is pretty good for stuff like that, and our electrical supply is much hardier as a result!

Honestly though! Look at the region around Pripyat; that place is thriving.

Alternatively we could stash it in death valley where literally nothing lives, not even animals.

Stash, not drop: As nuclear technology progresses, we'll get more efficient at using it as fuel and eventually the waste of today can become supplemental fuel of tomorrow, used much more thoroughly, and only be radioactive for a few hundred years instead of thousands.

Yes, AND, Nuclear is also cheaper in cost of human lives per gigawatt hour!

EVEN SOLAR AND WIND KILL MORE PEOPLE PER GIGAWATT HOUR THAN NUCLEAR.

(Hydro admittedly kills less people per GWh than nuclear, though - but not every place has that option.)

What might have had some efficacy as an auxiliary party is if the organization promoted specific extant primary candidates, perhaps. To assist more progressive candidates in becoming the nominees for various electoral races. AND in local elections, not JUST the big one every four years like you said!

We've seen this work (to our detriment) with the 'tea party' -_- all i'm saying is, it pisses me off that we leave that kind of weaponry on the table when these fucking chud scum manage to pull it off.

If the green party even actually cared about the shit they purport to care about, they'd have been pro nuclear. That's all I needed to hear in order to know they were worth absolutely none of my attention.

There are many many many insane people who are running no virtual machines at all.

They did. You're welcome.
