Hydro is kinda devastating to any environment it touches if the scale is large enough. I think that it’s usually pretty good on a micro scale that doesn’t have to throttle waterways and flood others.

From my understanding, it’s considered clean by comparison to fossil fuels in that it’s easier to contain the byproducts that nuclear produces since they are primarily solid and liquid waste compared to the additional gaseous waste that fossil fuels make. The problem is in the potency of the pollution, the length of time that it needs to be stored, and while I said that it was fairly easy to store, that doesn’t stop storage facilities from doing what the lowest bidder tends to do which is perform below the minimum expectation. The quantity of the waste is typically lower by tonnage compared to fossil fuels and a good chunk of nuclear waste is in the form of contaminated safety equipment that has reached the end of it’s expected life cycle.
Something has to go horribly wrong for dangerous nuclear contamination to happen, but that’s not to say that things can and have gone horribly wrong.
I would argue that in this metaphor it’s still more surgical than a bullet but I get what you mean.
If cancer does cancer stuff around my stomach, you shoot my stomach. It’s the only logical answer. /s
In no order:
Huh. I would think that having everyone leave quicker would be more likely to cause an emergency than to prevent one. But also, like, the band practiced for this and the school (?) I’m guessing, gave the green light to go ahead and have the band play at the game. The least they could be allowed to do is finish their performance that they’ve been practicing.
One thing that I haven’t been able to glean from reading up on this incident was the exact reason the cops were trying to stop the performance. Was there an emergency and they had to clear everyone out? Not to imply the excessive escalation was justified, it isn’t imo, just wondering what set these officers out on stopping him in the first place.
I think it might be a political compass meme.
So by that metric, blue is authoritarian right and red is authoritarian left. Not sure if that ideologically matches up on this meme and I don’t want to dust off the meme tablets to dig any deeper on the research.
The store by me has their own brand of pop-tart that’s got more icing and filling as well as being half the cost. They don’t have as many flavors, but they’re not shrinkflated to the point of being a sad cookie. Shout out to Meijer toaster pastries.
