    1. Will Stancil. (2022, January 11). The US reported 1.4 million COVID cases yesterday and hospitalizations are the highest ever. We’re sailing into this hurricane with virtually no effort to change course because fancy people believe they have a god-given right to their normal lives, no matter how bad things get.

    1. In addition, the LCOE does not include the cost of storing nuclear waste for hundreds of thousands of years. In the U.S. alone, about $500 million is spent yearly to safeguard nuclear waste from about 100 civilian nuclear energy plants. This amount will only increase as waste continues to accumulate. After the plants retire, the spending must continue for hundreds of thousands of years with no revenue stream from electricity sales to pay for the storage.

    1. Nuclear Fuel Most nuclear reactors use “enriched” uranium, meaning the fuel has a higher concentration of uranium-235 (U-235) isotopes, which are easier to split to produce energy. When it is mined, uranium ore averages less than 1% U-235.9 Milling and enrichment processes crush the ore, use solvents to extract uranium oxide (U3O8, i.e., yellowcake), and chemically convert it to uranium hexafluoride (UF6), which is enriched to increase the U-235 concentration in the fuel. Finally, a fuel fabricator converts UF6 into UO2 powder that is pressed into pellets with 3%-5% U-235 concentrations.10 Uranium can be enriched by gaseous diffusion or gas centrifuge. Both concentrate the slightly lighter U-235 molecules from a gas containing mostly U-238, the former with membrane filters and the latter by spinning. Other technologies are currently in development, with laser enrichment processes closest to commercial viability.11 In 2019, 79 metric tons (mt) of U3O8 were extracted from 6 mines in the U.S.12 The highest grade ore in the U.S. average less than 1% uranium, some Canadian ore is more than 15% uranium.13,14 1% of uranium available at reasonable cost is found in the U.S. The largest deposits are in Australia (28%), Kazakhstan (15%), Canada (9%), and Russia (8%).14 U.S. nuclear plants purchased 22,135 mt of uranium in 2020. Fuel was imported mostly from Canada (22%), Kazakhstan (22%), Russia (15%) and Australia (11%).15 Globally, nuclear power reactors are forecast to require 68,269 mt of uranium in 2021.4

      Miles Kendig (Walter Matthau) ist CIA-Agent und ein alter Hase in seinem Beruf. Er versteht etwas von seinem Job und schafft es so etwa, auf dem Oktoberfest einen sowjetischen Spionagering hochgehen zu lassen. Doch anstatt ihn mit einer Beförderung zu belohnen, entlässt ihn sein cholerischer Chef endgültig aus dem Dienst. Kendig macht seinem Ärger Luft, indem er seiner Geliebten Isobel (Glenda Jackson) einen Besuch in Salzburg abstattet. Dort trifft er auf den sowjetischen Agenten Yaskov (Herbert Lom), welcher ihn dazu überredet, seine Biografie zu schreiben. Kendig willigt ein und sendet jedes Kapitel sowohl an seinen ehemaligen Chef, als auch an den KGB. Schnell werden zwei CIA-Agenten ausgesendet, um den Fahnenflüchtigen zu finden, doch mit der Cleverness Kendigs hat niemand gerechnet…filmstarts.de

    1. Kayla Simpson. (2022, January 3). The COVID data coming out of NYC jails is...beyond staggering. Today’s report shows a 7-day avg positivity rate of 37%, w/502 ACTIVE INFECTIONS. With a ~5K census, that means that nearly one in ten people in DOC has an ACTIVE infection. Crisis on crisis.

      Vor einem halben Jahrhundert war Harris Shaw (Michael Caine) mit seinem Erfolgsroman „Atomic Autumn“ alleine dafür verantwortlich, dass ein Verlag erfolgreich wurde. Doch heute sind sowohl beim Autor als auch beim Verlag der Ruhm verblasst. Shaw tippt zwar immer noch fleißig auf seiner alten Schreibmaschine, doch der Raucher und Säufer will nichts mit der Welt zu tun haben. Die junge Verlagserbin Lucy Stanbridge (Aubrey Plaza) greift derweil bei sinkenden Verkaufszahlen und einem von Influencer bestimmten Werbemarkt zum letzten Strohhalm, um ihr Unternehmen zu retten: Einsiedler Shaw soll noch einmal auf eine Lesetour gehen, um sein neues Buch zu präsentieren. Doch der hat wenig Bock... filmstarts.de

      In naher Zukunft: Cameron (Mahershala Ali) ist todkrank. Dem fürsorglichen Ehemann und Vater wird von seiner Ärztin (Glenn Close) ein Weg aufgezeigt, wie er seine Familie vor dem bevorstehenden Leid bewahrt: Er soll sich durch einen Klon ersetzen lassen, der wie eine Abbild seiner selbst aussieht. Während Cameron mit der Frage konfrontiert wird, ob er das Schicksal seiner Familie ändern soll oder nicht, lernt er immer mehr Wahrheiten über das Leben, den Verlust und die Liebe, als er sich jemals vorgestellt hätte. Cameron erkennt daraufhin immer mehr, was bedeutet, Opfer zu bringen und wie weit ein Mensch in der Lage ist zu gehen, um seinen Liebsten ein glücklicheres, besseres Leben zu ermöglichen... filmstarts.de

      „Schwanengesang“ handelt von Klonen todkranker Menschen, welche den Platz ihrer Originale einnehmen sollen, damit die ahnungslose Familie nicht leiden muss. Das überwiegend ruhig erzählte und schön bebilderte Science-Fiction-Drama stellt existenzielle Fragen zu Identität, aber auch moralische, welchen Preis das Glück haben darf. Das richtet sich vor allem an ein Publikum, das gerne nachdenkt, bietet aber ebenfalls emotionale Momente, die auf das Konto von Mahershala Ali gehen. Oliver Armknecht 7,5/10

    1. Trisha Greenhalgh. (2021, December 27). This is nothing short of scandalous. Unless and until those leading the public health response acknowledge the AIRBORNE nature of the virus and give transmission mitigation advice commensurate with how airborne viruses spread, we will be yo-yoing from wave to wave ad infinitum.

    1. The New York Times continues to cite him as one of its primary sources on the question of COVID's origins.

      Peter Daszak is still cited by respectable media, and that is insulting, given his record on truthiness.

    1. the way they do it's funny you should say like why do we support Saudi Arabia to yeah but Saudi Arabia has oil at least there's some logic you can connect dots they're really simple I don't believe

      US support for Israel & Saudi Arabia has a lot of commons.

    1. ara Sally Goza, the President of the American Academy of Pediatrics, stated that, as pediatricians, what children receive from school is much more than just education. Therefore, the neces-sary measures should be taken properly and face-to-face education should begin with students in schools (10). In the USA, the re-opening of schools in many states and regions is left to regional administrations, provided that priority is given to the approach of re-opening schools ac-cording to the availability of measures (42

      Inconceivable that accusators want to ban art works back-in-time. It's like burning books, but virtually.

    1. This long-read from 2015,describes a soviet-era massive "envelope-opening" operations, only digital. Terrorism was just the excuse for the regime to get hold of people's communications.

    1. «έσπρωχνε» σε ΜΜΕ «συνεντεύξεις, επώνυμα άρθρα γνώμης τοπικής παραγωγής και προϊόντα του Γραφείου Προγραμμάτων Διεθνούς Πληροφόρησης του Στέιτ Ντιπάρτμεντ για καίρια ζητήματα διεθνούς πολιτικής» (06ATHENS1805)
    2. η πρεσβεία πίεζε έμμεσα ή άμεσα για την κατάργηση του ασύλου και την αστυνόμευση των πανεπιστημίων (09ATHENS1725, 09ATHENS191)
    3. ο (τότε βουλευτής) Αντώνης Σαμαράς εμφανίζεται σαν γραμματοκομιστής, ο οποίος θα αναλάμβανε να μεταφέρει «σε όσους πρέπει να ξέρουν» τη δυσαρέσκεια της πρεσβείας για τις επισκέψεις Ρώσων αξιωματούχων και την αγορά ρωσικών οπλικών συστημάτων (08ATHENS1188_a)
    4. επίσκεψη που πραγματοποίησε ο καθηγητής Γιώργος Μπαμπινιώτης στην αμερικανική πρεσβεία ζητώντας βοήθεια για την αλλαγή του συστήματος εισαγωγής στα πανεπιστήμια (τηλεγράφημα 09ATHENS407)
    5. χεδόν δέκα χρόνια από την αποκάλυψη των τηλεγραφημάτων της αμερικανικής πρεσβείας η Ελλάδα φαίνεται να έχει «πετύχει» όλους τους στόχους της αμερικανικής διπλωματίας: το πανεπιστημιακό άσυλο καταργήθηκε, η πόρτα για την αναγνώριση των αμερικανικών κολεγίων άνοιξε ενώ αστυνομικοί ετοιμάζονται να λάβουν θέσεις μέσα στα εκπαιδευτικά ιδρύματα.
    1. ReconfigBehSci. (2021, October 30). as the fallout from the JCVI minutes build, it’s worth considering that the corresponding U.S. body ACIP has been live streaming its meetings on YouTube...

    1. The US military is bigger and more costly than the next ten countries combined. It is patently absurd to think that it is Russia or China, not the US that is setting the world stage militarily.

      Propaganda have is think US is the peace force Russia & China the bullies, while it's the 1 vs 10.

    2. The US is not only an Empire, it is the biggest and most powerful Empire the world has ever seen. It has 800 military bases in more than 70 countries and it bends other countries to its will through sanctions and war. It has interfered to subvert the democratic processes more than 50 times in Latin America alone.

      Why is US a great unchallenged imperial?

    1. Ο Ραντ σημειώνει επίσης στη πρώτη σελίδα ότι αφήνει κατά μέρος σε αυτό το έγγραφο «τη βαθύτερη ανησυχία ότι ο πρωταρχικός ρόλος των κυρίαρχων οικονομικών στην κοινωνία μας είναι να παρέχουν δικαιολογίες για μια εγκληματικά καταπιεστική, μη βιώσιμη και άδικη κοινωνική τάξη».

      Ταξική θεωρία πλέον μέσα και από την Fed (o Jeremy Rudd ειναι ανωτερος υπάλληλός της)!

    1. This article fails to recognize the societal benefits of free education. Since the US is all about the individual, this isn't surprising. However, the facts - as evidenced by countries where education is essentially free - is that it increases the societal level of education, which improves so many things, not the least of which is more informed and rational voting.

    1. I've got serious reservations about this Gerst fellow. His answers are too vague and contain too many bald assertions. The form of his answers fits what I've noticed to be a "style" of regressives seeking to promote obsolete traditions and social norms.

      Granted, it's difficult to present precise information in "interview format" articles like this one, but education is too important to get get wrong - again.
