France's most powerful nuclear reactor connected to grid after 17-year build
  • At least this one is on the coast so it can still run when the rivers dry up.

    But holy shitsnacks 3½ times slower than planned and 4 times more expensive. No wonder no new nuclear power plants have been built in a generation when the ones coming online now were all delayed by a generation.

  • Dr Manhattan needs to take it down a notch. Although I guess he probably can see far off galaxies with the naked eye which would be very ancient light. On the other hand Dr Manhattan exists outside of time, as evidenced by his ability to... Wait, am I remembering this correctly? Was he banging his ex-girlfriend's daughter while getting something out of the fridge in another room at the same time?

  • The light from the closest star (excluding the Sun) takes about four years to get here. Might be a bit stale but it's not, like, the light of the ancients. It's more like the light of the Jan. 6th insurrection.

    Any relations experts?
  • This is much nicer than the view of the bed. I hate those little prison / kitchen windows over the bed.

    Plot twist: girlfriend is trans but in the closet so bedroom guy really is gay.

    Please help resolve a disagreement in our home
  • Not in the kitchen but I have a (very large) one for electronics and batteries and it's the worst. Tools and screws. Office supplies.

    This kitchen one you could neat up a bit if it really annoys you. Put the scales in a cupboard upright against the side. Maybe get a nicer scale, that one looks naff. Trash the salad shears. What a terrible idea. Put the pizza / dough metal thingie on a wall mounted magnet for knives and stuff. Maybe put some of the other metal stuff there idk. Everything else is pretty small so you can put in dividers for that. The grater and ladle go in the same compartment.

    Unless of course you think your wife should tidy up this drawer in which case you can just absolutely fuck off. Into the ocean. Die and get eaten by scavengers.

    Edit: oh, that's a meat tenderiser, not a ladle. Everything else stands.

    Tesla sales are tanking in Europe
  • 🤷 for some reason hybrids did really well in Europe this year. Probably because some countries have really shit charging infrastructure but people still want to emit less carbon.

    The hybrids are bad though unless you live in a house and charge them at home. They don't have the hundreds of kW charging potential and if you charge them at work you often have to go move them during the day because you aren't allowed to leave them in the spot with the charger all day. Contrast this with an all electric vehicle that you can charge 200 km in five minutes at a gas tank.
