I feel this. I was at a zoo once and was casually walking away from a ravens enclosure when it just ominously whispered "Papaya...."Never said another word." | [

Parrots are evil creatures they will just gouge out your flesh randomly for no reason and then scream profanity at you for hours. Yet they live for hundreds of years which to me is just to many they must of sold their souls to the devil or something to live that long. Literal hell spawn but damn are they beautiful. | [

I saw an episode of a true crime show where the crime was solved literally by the parrot mimicking the victim dying. The parrot's owner was murdered in her home and when investigators showed up at the home, the parrot was crying and screaming like a human, begging "Ahhh NOOO, don't fcking shoot!" and ever since then I have hated talking parrots. I cried so hard that night because it terrified me to my core. It is the creepiest shit I have ever heard in my life. Animals should not ever sound like humans. Lmao it's scary as hell. The only other animal things that have creeped me out as much as that stupid parrot thing was this one video of a cat barking like a dog, and footage of a hunting fox making a sound like a screaming woman. | [

My flock and I have a bone to pick with you lmao!
Yeah, my African Grey can mimic a select few words (hello, oh boy, whacha doin?), And if he hears my dad laugh he laughs right back in the same voice. He doesn't sound necessarily "human", I can tell it's him, but he's smart for sure!
My cockatiel just whistles, and he has his own unique sequence he will do obnoxiously in repeat while he follows my budgie around (his female companion passed away so he's on to the budgie lol)
My conure doesn't actually say words, he makes sounds that sound like phrases. He can say "Hi squeaky bird" but it's just vocalizations, not actual "words". He also says "want some" whenever I have a drink or food. Overall though it's mainly different clicks, whistles and screeches lol.
My budgie: can mimic all three birds and will regularly go off on a 10 minute long cycling of all the sounds non stop, basically communicating with everybody lol | [

The parrot's owner was murdered in her home and when investigators showed up at the home, the parrot was crying and screaming like a human, begging \"Ahhh NOOO, don't fcking shoot!\" and ever since then I have hated talking parrots. I cried so hard that night because it terrified me to my core. It is the creepiest shit I have ever heard in my life. Animals should not ever sound like humans. Lmao it's scary as hell.

He can say \"Hi squeaky bird\" but it's just vocalizations, not actual \"words\". He also says \"want some\" whenever I have a drink or food.

No. Person C is being selfish as they are waiting and hoping for another relationship which could very well be healthy and stable to end.
So yeah it is their choice, but that does not mean I support their reasoning. I mean, its like saying someone is hoping for my wife and I to divorce because they believe it's their destiny to be with her and thus will "wait" for her. | [

The likelihood that Person C wasn't flirting or otherwise sabotaging the relationship at least in some minor fashion on a subconcious level is pretty low.

Person C should distance themselves if they actually respect the relationship or be honest about their feelings to that Person A can set whatever boundaries they deem appropriate. | [

Okay, I’ll bite - I disagree.

I mean sure, but its a bit stupid. Theres no thing that says A & B will break up or that A will like person C and hook up or whatever next.
Its like friendzoning, it is a thing, its not bad--people can and do develop feelings for their friend all the time, hell people fuck their coworkers despite the advice just because they work and spend a lot of time together and shit just starts going that way; but you have to know boundaries and how to control your feelings and have expectations about it | [

Waiting implies you are not pursuing other relationships. You are obsessed, in an unhealthy way about someone who is not available and wants a relationship with them.
Keeping your options open on the other hand, you still would love a chance to pursue a relationship with the individual, but you aren't just waiting on them. You have a healthy attraction and are letting it sit, not committing unless you find something better.
Waiting to me, just sounds like unhealthy behaviour. To me there is quite the distinction from waiting and continuing life while keeping your options open. | [

Small modular reactors are going to happen, and not soon enough.
They are about 10ft in diameter and 80ft tall, and can power roughly 60,000 homes each. They are vastly cheaper and faster to construct.
For those who don't know: all the fissile waste generated in ALL OF THE US since the 1960s can fit on a football field with a depth of 10 yards.
The argument about fissile waste is overblown. | [] |

Small modular reactors are going to happen
Their market potential is going to get crushed by a combination of dirt cheap renewables and dirt cheap grid storage, both of which are getting cheaper much faster than SMRs are ever likely to.
They’ll probably end up in some niche use cases where some combination of factors make renewables unworkable in an area, but not as the main source of electricity. | [

I dunno if cheap enough grid storage is going to get here fast enough for that.
The cost of grid storage fell by 90% in ten years. It’s getting exponentially cheaper over time, already, today.
That’s many, many, many times faster than the cost of SMRs is going down—arguably SMRs are just getting more expensive over time anyway.

Cost effectiveness of SMRs doesn't make sense to me.
Wouldn't SMRs wind up costing more than a regular nuclear plant because of economy of scale? Even if the units themselves prove cheaper to produce, they will be more expensive to install and operate due to fixed costs being spread over a small amount of power generation.
That's bad news for what is already the most expensive form of power in the world. | [

Modular design means standardized inspection and maintenance. If they are designed with several layers of safety, having a huge staff on site is likely unnecessary. Security is another concern though.
Also, putting production closer to load is a no brainer. Something like half of energy produced is lost in transmission.
IMO, groups of SMRs is probably the best bet. That way you can have people monitoring more production, have a rotating scheduled maintenance and not impact grid stability. | [

I'm not disagreeing with your thoughts, but still not seeing the economy of scale here.
I didn't say you need a huge staff. But if you have 4 buildings instead of one, now you need 4 janitors instead of say, 2. That's twice the cost.
And instead of 1 shift supervisor, you need 4. Instead of 3 maintenance techs per shift you need 4 or 8. Etc. etc.
Economies of scale work in two ways: spreading fixed costs over a larger asset, and taking advantage of staff being able to cover more work.
When you spread out the production, you lose those advantages and run into the opposite. Fixed costs get multiplied, you have minimum staffing limits that you can't go below, so you wind up having more staff doing the same or less work.
Yes, the building of the reactors will decrease, but that doesn't seem likely to defray the other costs. Many of your upfront costs will be cheaper, but your operating costs are much higher. The longer you use the reactor, the less you save.
Peak savings is building and never using the reactor. It only gets worse the more you use it. | [

Japan and the United States agreed Monday to strengthen bilateral cooperation on developing next-generation nuclear reactors during ministerial talks on energy.
According to a joint statement, Japan and the United States will step up cooperation in developing and constructing next-generation advanced reactors, including small modular reactors, "Within each country and third countries."
The Japanese government said last month in a change from its post-Fukushima crisis nuclear energy policy that it may renew old nuclear reactors if necessary.

It's not even the nuclear stuff, there are a lot of companies in Japan that still rely on fax machines. Many legal documents and contracts (like buying a house) are signed using a special carved seal called a 'hanko stamp' instead of a personal or electronic signature.
At the same time, their public transportation system and train system are the best I've ever seen. Miss your train? Just wait five minutes for the next one. It will arrive on time down to the second, every time. | [

This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 76%. (I'm a bot)
Japan and the United States agreed Monday to strengthen bilateral cooperation on developing next-generation nuclear reactors during ministerial talks on energy.
According to a joint statement, Japan and the United States will step up cooperation in developing and constructing next-generation advanced reactors, including small modular reactors, "Within each country and third countries."
The Japanese government said last month in a change from its post-Fukushima crisis nuclear energy policy that it may renew old nuclear reactors if necessary.

No. Theoretically you might be able to build that reactor the size of a house and power of house for 30 years. But a portable generator is way too small to fit in all the components and the fuel for 30 years of operation. Best you could do in the size of a generator is an RTG like they use on Mars rovers which will decrease in output over time and will at best output a few hundred watts. | [

This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 76%. (I'm a bot)
Japan and the United States agreed Monday to strengthen bilateral cooperation on developing next-generation nuclear reactors during ministerial talks on energy.
According to a joint statement, Japan and the United States will step up cooperation in developing and constructing next-generation advanced reactors, including small modular reactors, "Within each country and third countries."
The Japanese government said last month in a change from its post-Fukushima crisis nuclear energy policy that it may renew old nuclear reactors if necessary.

As someone who works in the post office, all packages are pretty much personalized.
It's 80% garbage with no resell value and really no value to anyone other than the person who ordered it.
Very rarely will you find anything of value in a package. It's just not worth your time. Leave packages alone. | [
