I remember when London was having Isis van attacks. One attack was on an almost empty street at like 2 o’clock on a Tuesday.

I said at the time we’re lucky they’re fucking idiots. If they’d done that at lunch time or rush hour could have been 100s injured or killed easy

The evacuations were considered a mistake and caused more harm than good.

There was very little actual damage from the reactors.

In response to the station blackout during the initial hours of the accident and the ongoing uncertainty regarding the cooling status of units 1 and 2, a 2 km radius evacuation of 1,900 residents was ordered at 20:50.[67] However, due to difficulty coordinating with the national government,[68] a 3 km evacuation order of ~6,000 residents and a 10 km shelter-in-place order for 45,000 residents was established nearly simultaneously at 21:23. The evacuation radius was expanded to 10 km at 5:44, and was then revised to 20 km at 18:25. The size of these evacuation zones was set for arbitrary reasons at the discretion of bureaucrats rather than nuclear experts.

This was a failure of the government not anything to do with nuclear power.

They seem to be making better progress than many other countries on renewables.

Hopefully they’ll transition off coal and onto battery infrastructure as renewables increase.

More than a quarter is still pretty good. And I think most people would call hydro a renewable energy source. Still better than fossil fuels for sure.

They’re building 2/3 of the worlds wind and solar capacity each year so this will likely just keep increasing.

We’re still arguing about whether global warming is real and they’re smashing it. A bit embarrassing really.

I do wonder how often that happens in places like Reddit.

There were a good few game shows with that theme.

In Political Order & Political Decay, Francis Fukuyama talks about a national narrative. It is a political tool for citizens to have a common understanding of their history, which then leads to a common understanding of its future. With this common understanding, the people become more unified, thus enabling the nation to accomplish many great things.

I just use the HashCode class and compare the results.

Pretty sure there’s a source generator for it as well nowadays.

That is completely incomprehensible lol

This argument just doesn’t hold up. Software written by some of the best developers in the world still has these same bugs.

Why even use a language where you have to put so much effort into something that comes for free in many modern languages.

I’ve noticed with my kids it’s more about streamers. They all know them by name. They’ll talk about their latest videos like we would with TV show episodes.

Many shows when we were kids were just drivers for toy sales though. Product placement was also huge and unregulated.

Easy to say from the sidelines

If you’re trying to save as many games as possible and the vast majority are on windows it completely does.

The problem is it’s a tiny fraction of games and users. It’s a lot of resources for little gain.

Indeed. But everyone has different levels of ability. Again mental health can drastically increase this difference.

My advice for dealing with this is using yourself as the measuring stick. Are you better than you were a year ago? Etc.

Aim to beat your personal best and that’s still good progress.

Then they clearly aren’t attainable are they? You feel they should be but the evidence says they aren’t.

Semi auto properties and params collection are long overdue. Great to see them in there.

System.Text.Json respecting nullability is also great. But may break some things if you didn’t realise you were relying on the old behaviour.

LoggerMessage source gen using primary constructors fixes a minor pain.

EF generating SQL at compile time is also pretty sweet. Better query performance from precompiled and better startup performance from not having to precompile at runtime.

All in all it looks pretty good.

A big problem is that it’s just text. In real life tone and body language go a huge way to determining how someone means to make you feel.

If someone is disagreeing with you in real life it’s much easier to tell if they just have a different opinion and respect yours or are being a dick.

Often when someone comes across really rude it’s meant in a half joking way which again would be easy to tell in an actual conversation.

These misunderstandings lead to things heating up real quick.

You basically have to change how you calculate your worth.

You are the one who set the standards that you are failing to meet.

People with depression often fall into this trap. You set a standard you can’t possibly reach and then get upset you aren’t reaching said impossible standard.

When I get thoughts like this i try to look past my thoughts and feelings and look at the evidence.

Is your son happy? Have they done anything that leads you to believe they feel let down? Etc.

Because it sounds like the only thing making him unhappy is you being unhappy.

Kids generally just want attention and love more than anything. Things are nice but they are no substitute.
