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.

No, the data is not physical, it is either magnetic or electric.

Since most people still store their media on hard drives most media is purely magnetic.

In a solid state drive storage chip the data is stored electronicly.

Untill someone makes a wood detector I don’t think they are worried about it.

The point is that a metal detector is specifically made to find stuff easier, and significantly cuts down on manpower needed to find stuff, increasing the risk of scavanging.

Using a metal detector here in Sweden requires a license from the government.

This is to prevent scavaging archeological artifacts.

An extremely successful physical format for storing data, mostly as video, released in 1996, it is still one of, if not the most popular video format sold globally.

There have been several concepts drawn up about using space mirrors as a way to focus the light from the sun into a deathray

Considering thw age of both Biden and Trump, either being forced to work four years more should be considered elder abuse.

That explains so much, I have been wondering why Ian suddenly started talking about more modern and common guns, but never saw the drama.

Thank you for filling in the gaps.

I am sad to read this, his channel is so nice because he presents firearms calmly snd friendly.

I stopped watching the channel when he started doing a lot of gun matches instead of talking about the mechanics of guns.

I did wonder why IRTV seemed to just fade away, sad to hear about the falling out.

Like all people in media, his on screen persona is just a character, sad to hear that he is a dick outside of the camera.

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

I never said that harser was the only way forward, I am all for preventative meassures

No, it is the truth

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.

Well yeah, you just get the non DRM installer and dump it in your NAS, done

It is a pendulum, here in Sweden I know many people feeling disillusioned by the social democrats, combine that with ineffectual meassures against gang violence (often perpetuated by second generation migrant), where the perpetrators don’t care about punnishment as it is quite mild.

Add to that that we have seen gangs and clans infiltrating the government at different levels, a few months ago two big news broke, one was that an employee at a court had let her criminal boyfriend sit at her computer using her access to go through classified documents, the other was that a student at the police academy had very close ties to gangs, to the point that it is assumed that they were tasked by the gang to join the police force and be a man on the inside.

Then we recently had a soldier who left his Ak5 complete with all parts in his car, against all regulations, when he was eating lunch, the car just happened to be burgled and the Ak5 rifle as well as a set of body armor was stolen.

It is assumed by most people that this was organized ahead of time, military vehicles have special number plates and are easily recognized, so he probably got paid to do this by a gang.

Then we have the dad who got shot a killed after asking a group of what was gabg members to behave as he was taking his son to the public pool, snd an altercation started, the dad was shot in the head and his 12 year old son called the police.

We also have some less recent major issues that had contributed to the rise of the right.

Incidents where young men from migrant families have been harrasing and even feeling up women, commonly at public pools.

Combine that with severe religious differences and some public pools have experimented with women only bathing hours.

Most of if not all of the above points have been related to migrants.

So it isn’t that odd that when the left offer what is seen as weak policies and pushes for understanding of the perpetrator and the right just says “fuck them, we gave them food, a place to live, security, healthcare and what do we get back? Gang violence, disrespect and harrasment!”, that people choose the right.

In my mind we need heavier punnishment, we need containment punnishments, way longer punnishments for those who are not interested in rehab which our justice system focuses on, after two times caught they need to get an automatic 10x the time normally given. If people are not interested in being part of a working society, then I’d rather they stay locked up.

Please don’t be too harsh on yourself, you don’t actually know that it would have been a good idea, it is impossible to say if it would have been better or not.

You took the logical route, finnishing your education, which opened other doors for you.

I tend to see life as a game where you are given a set of playing cards at birth, you gradually take over control of your deck as you grow up.

You play your individual cards with the knowledge you have, and every play can give you even better cards to use later.

You have no idea if you are about to get your next break, you can only play your cards with the knowledge you have.

I have been using a pair of Roth Audio OLi-RA1 speakers with my computer, they are real stereo speakers and require an amplifier to wire them up and power them.

The are excellent speakers, good general speakers, and not that expensive.

I don’t use a subwoofer, but it isn’t really needed for me, I do miss some sub bass, but that never bothered me.

I am currently running them with a no brand Chinese analog amp, from the soubd out on my monitor that is connected to my computer with DisplayPort.

Works great.

I sm considering getting a Dennon RCD-M41 tl replace my amp, but have not had any need to do so in the last eight years.

Since the start of this thread I have been advocating for building a facility here in Scandinavia to permanently store all nuclear waste globally.

At least TRY to read my posts before whining uselessly!
