Standing next to trains as they pass, or on one's with open decks, you'll know they produce a lot of wind. I assume under the train this is even stronger, with a strong low pressure area. This should be able to clear most obstructions without an issue whenever a train passes. Sure, it'll also toss more on, but there's some equilibrium that it'll reach and it shouldn't ever get worse. My guess is that's well before it is a major issue for the panels.

You think Planetside blows and you're asking for Planetside. That's odd. What don't you like about it? It's probably a symptom of what you're asking for.

(Also, you don't really seem to know what you're talking about anyway, because quantum computers aren't super powerful computers or something. They're like a GPU. They're specialized processors that are better at a few specific tasks. Binary CPUs are still probably always going to be what's used for most computation.)

I would recommend switching over to Lenox.

Yeah, that guy on the left is pretty cuddly and cute! You're right!

Yeah, if you were actually in this situation, that isn't something you'd just forget, unless your intelligence is extremely low (low enough that you probably wouldn't have the idea to use the rope in the first place). This is bad DMing. They should have said something like: "You're aware no one is holding the rope. Are you sure?" If that's actually what they wanted to do, they can do it. If not, they are now aware.

I asked for just a single example of a regulation that could be done away with and that would reduce costs in a meaningful way as it's pretty much your entire argument.

I'm not an expert. I posted a scholarly article showing this was the case. You promptly ignored it. You lose. You want proof that you wouldn't accept anyway. I could waste my time citing regulations, and you'd just say that has a purpose, which it does is it required? I'm not wasting my time when you don't accept the premise (until now) that regulations are increasing the costs artificially. This is done by groups with a goal to keep competition out and increase the price of their product. Why would you support that?

So name one.

As we've established, you can't. You're not a serious person and so I'm not going to waste any more of my time on you.

You're like every other nuclear bro I've interacted with; no amount of evidence, logic, or facts will persuade you because you didn't use those to come to your present position. You're a Japanese holdout, still flighting the war long after your side lost.

Read the paper. I'm not the unserious one. You will ignore all other information because anti-nuke must be right. You've cited Wikipedia, and that's it. Fuck off dude. You aren't the one in the right here.

Oh, but it's regulations, you say. That pesky red tape that I can't cite even once even though it definitely 100% is because that's what my feels tell me.

Literally every piece of it increases cost. Do you disagree with that statement? If you do, which red tape has ever decreased cost? Do you think there aren't regulations on nuclear? I don't need to cite any specific one because it's obvious they're being created and it's obvious they'd increase cost. Only someone who wants to sea-lion would ask to cite specific regs.

Check out the edit above. I wasn't fast enough for you apparently, but nuclear can decrease over time. The US is the extreme of costs increasing. Why would this happen if knowledge and technology advances if some external force isn't acting upon the price?

I like that you keep asking for evidence, I provide it, you cite Wikipedia, then you ignore all other information and act like others are being ignorant. You want anti-nuke to make sense. It does, if you accept that regulations are increasing price and that's good. It doesn't if you think artificially increasing the price is bad.

You have answered zero questions and have not responded to any information I've provided, yet you act like you're winning this debate. You look like a fool.

I've had very few issues without this, but I'm happy it exists still! Better compatibility shared across different services can only be good.

"We find that trends in costs have varied significantly in magnitude and in structure by era, country, and experience. In contrast to the rapid cost escalation that characterized nuclear construction in the United States, we find evidence of much milder cost escalation in many countries, including absolute cost declines in some countries and specific eras. Our new findings suggest that there is no inherent cost escalation trend associated with nuclear technology."

As you can see in this chart from the paper, after the Three Mile Island incident, the cost to build a nuclear reactor went up significantly in the US.

Clearly this is due to increased regulations after the anti-nuke movement gained so much influence after Three Mile Island, despite the very minor effects of the event itself.

"When the full cost experience of US nuclear power is shown with construction duration experience, we observe distinctive trends that change after the Three Mile Island accident. As shown in Fig. 3 in blue, reactors that received their operating licenses before the TMI accident experience mild cost escalation. But for reactors that were under construction during Three Mile Island and eventually completed afterwards, shown in red, median costs are 2.8 times higher than pre-TMI costs and median durations are 2.2 times higher than pre-TMI durations. Post-TMI, overnight costs rise with construction duration, even though OCC excludes the costs of interest during construction. This suggests that other duration-related issues such as licensing, regulatory delays, or back-fit requirements are a significant contributor to the rising OCC trend."

Good enough for you?

You absolutely do if you don’t want anyone capable of rational thought to think you’re full of shit.

No, you do not. I can be assured the sun makes things warmer by showing a graph of temperature based on the position of the sun in the sky. I don't need to know precisely what fussion reactions are happening in the sun to know the cause. If you aren't capable of that then that's on you. No one else needs to know the exact cause to see correlations that point towards the cause.

Edit: Based on history you're already responding, but I thought I should include the global trend graph from the paper too. In some other nations it's gotten cheaper over time. The US is by far the worst of making it more expensive over time, despite technology and knowledge advancing.

I recommend going through the study yourself though.

Sea-lioning. Nice. I'm not an expert in the field. I don't know which regulations do what. I don't need to prove that to you. The fact that it costs more and takes longer in the US than any other nation, and also that nuclear accidents are extremely rare and safety is high, proves that we have needless regulations. I don't need to know which ones those are to know that's true. If you somehow can't see that without specific regulations being cited, maybe you need to work on your deduction skills.

It was a typo. It was meant to say clean, and it was fixed shortly after posting. The one about regulation does discuss cost.

If you notice on the graph you posted nuclear gets more expensive over time. Why? Everything else gets cheaper over time, until recently where they all increase together. Clearly there's a temporal link increasing the price of nuclear and it isn't just expensive always. What has been happening over time to make it more expensive? We pass laws to force it to be unprofitable. It used to be one of the cheapest, and it still is in many places around the world. The US has purposefully made it expensive at the behest of the oil industry.

Edit: I like that you down voted me for disagreeing but also responding with what you wanted. You're not a very good person are you?

I never claimed it'd be a utopia. Stop being a jackass.
