When did you last get a pack of tortilla crumbs? Ever?

[–] Quatity_Control@lemm.ee 3 points 11 months ago

There is definitively a point of diminishing returns. Half a bag of air just allows the chips to smash into each other and break. Only enough air to prevent outside forces compressing the chips is fine.

I'm not going to bother to find out when and how often these bags of completely crumbed chips made you sad in your life. They would no doubt be negligible and more related to transport issues than packaging issues.

Absolutely do. At least once a week. Was there a point you were trying to make or was it an attempt to gatekeep corn chips?

Then why has Pringle's added more air to their cans?

No one in the history of civilisation has complained about too many broken chips in a bag.

When people started complaining about the amount of air being included in the bag, "prevents broken chips" was the bs marketing PR line put out. It's just not true.

You know the easiest way to prove it's bs? Pringle's have introduced more air into their cans at the same time. Why? To match the shrinkflation of their competitors. Because adding air to a can of Pringle's can only result in MORE broken chips. Which, again, no one in the fucking world has ever complained about.

Find an elderly friend nearby you can share with?

That's an opinion. You haven't supplied any supporting data. And retiring reactors from age is not a qualification for "works well enough". And renewables work well enough better.

What fact do you disagree with?

[–] Quatity_Control@lemm.ee 7 points 1 year ago

...is not an NFT

[–] Quatity_Control@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago (4 children)

I prefer data based fact, but you can call it hootenanny for all I care. It doesn't change the facts.

At this point you're either trolling or arguing with yourself and for some reason replying to me.

I'm not "fearmongering" when I point out the indisputable fact that renewables don't produce nuclear waste. You're also not including the supporting industries that nuclear requires in your costs. And more importantly, you're only looking at the US. Even then, your figures are arguable.

Wikipedia "In 2019 the US EIA revised the levelized cost of electricity from new advanced nuclear power plants going online in 2023 to be $0.0775/kWh before government subsidies"

Wikipedia "The global weighted average levelised cost of electricity (LCOE) of new onshore wind projects added in 2021 fell by 15%, year‑on‑year, to USD 0.033/kWh, while that of new utility-scale solar PV fell by 13% year-on-year to USD 0.048/kWh and that of offshore wind declined 13% to USD 0.075/kWh."

Nuclear may make current economic sense when you ignore the storage issues and the cost of new reactors and the unavoidable increase in uranium importation. Long term it doesn't. Renewables don't have that issue and are already cheaper.

Again, renewables globally are cheaper and safer. Byeeeeeee

No. It's kicking the can down the road. And when there is a real, viable, cleaner, cheaper option already up and running, nuclear is simply not the answer.
