Canadian SMR (small modular nuclear reactor) costs €11,000 per kW: just as expensive as France's Flamanville-3. But that's if you build 4 at the same place. One alone would have higher infrastructure cost. And it's just the initial budget, without overruns. wattisduurzaam.nl/48976/energi…

»Pope Leo XIV called for a #ceasefire in Gaza and an end to the war in Ukraine on Sunday (…). He spoke from the loggia of St. Peter's Basilica.

While it can be easy to overlook implementation and enforcement of new tech and digital rules once they have been adopted by EU lawmakers, recent experience underlines the need to keep a close eye on these important final steps in the process.

When I was in the hospital recovering from a shattered leg bone a machine near my bed kept beeping all night. This made the pain much worse somehow, the combination of the beeping, the lights which weren't fully off and the horrible pain really broke me down. I've never felt worse.
I was so happy when my husband brought my noise canceling earbuds from home. But really this guy is right we ought to think about if we are designing hell-like soundscapes in such places.
@futurebird 99percentinvisible.org/episode… Sleep deprivation from noise in hospitals contribute to high rates of delirium, especially in older patients. ICUs are even worse than wards.
Alarm fatigue from constant machine alerts can cause nurses to miss emergencies.
@futurebird with any luck, our children’s children will look back on the late 20th, early 21st century noise background the same way we look back at Victorian coal-fired smog and horse-crap filled streets.
Which reminds me that I should do something about the local street lanterns beaming most of their warm light up into space and over the bushes🙃
So true. My big labor and delivery discovery was how powerfully a white noise generator can change the experience. When we left after c section post op it was the last thing we unplugged and it turned our little nest into the alienating experience of beeps and bloops modern hospital care.
Many people that visit China remark on how much better cities are with the quieter electric vehicles.
The West has gone the opposite direction, with rat bastards removing their catalytic converters and modding their exhausts. I blame Ebay for selling and promoting the tools to do illegal mods.
I’ve lived in my current neighborhood for 9 years, and am still surprised at how quiet it is, compared to my old one near downtown Colorado Springs where there was a constant drone from the interstate two miles away. Now if we could also do something about light pollution.
We switched to a microwave that lets us mute all beeps a few years ago and it's so much better than the constant beeps. On the flip side, a bluetooth speaker we have has a very loud/elaborate tune (which definitely sounds engineered) that plays on power off that I really, really wish could be disabled. Why would "I want to stop making noise now" be the time to make more noise?
We moved from a somewhat small craftsman house to a quite large (mostly) modern house a few years ago. The soundscape is hugely different. Now I am trying to sacrifice its clean lines for some soft audio instead: installing audio panels and rugs, and planning for other ways of breaking up the soundscape.
Man I wish more people thought about this stuff.

Oh hello misogyny. It is a known phenomenon that when women move into male dominated professions the relative salaries drop. This is not because the value of those jobs drop, it’s sexism.
The graduate premium in employment for English university students is shrinking, at the same time that the costs of university have been rising (even if the fees themselves have remained capped for some years).... but when we look at the return to investment across (some) subjects we also see significant variation.
Given its costs its no wonder student worry about the employment/salary benefits, which sadly means the humanistic case for higher education gets lost in the 'noise'
Yup, that would definitely be the case.... see the posts here in the past on the gender wag gap & the work (again often posted here) of the Women's Budget Group

It may take a leadership election for the Greens to get some substantial coverage in the mainstream media, but nonetheless as Peter Walker argues, the party is being offered a choice between too different futures:
between a continued focus on the political party environment of Westminster or a shift (back?) to a more activist, popular movement aligned more clearly with activist groups.
Which is best? Green party members may have a difficult choice
Delicate balance of developing grassroots enthusiasm while still having coherent national and local policies, not just someone’s personal hobbyhorses.
And that effort has worked well - more Green councillors than Reform, same level of Westminster representation. Just not the media adulation of fascism.
I don't differ on the apportioning of blame, but nonetheless it *does* matter (at least in the current electoral system).... by whatever means they decide upon the Greens need more traction (even if that has been growing recently)....
@BashStKid I'd rather they focused on the their social media game (which could be better) the old Media doesn't get through to the vast swathes of people who currently aren't voting because nobody talks to them. They should fight ReformUK online, that's where the new battlefield is.
I was a member for 10 years but just got burned out by the whole process, volunteered at head office and everything. They're good people but just not cunning enough I fear.
as a #gpew member, I find this difficult. The electoral strategy to date has self-evidently worked well in its own terms & elected office brings important benefits beyond the obvious
But power increasingly sits outside traditional politics (broligarchy anyone?) &, as the executive arrogate ever power to itself, we must be clear of the limitations of electoral success
Also, we only beat Reform Ltd thro grassroots allyship, helping community solidarity networks take root 1/2
Electoral success may well help facilitate this and is complementary to it but being alongside our potential voters, helping tackle day-to-day challenges, enabling people feel there is a point in engaging because good stuff can & does happen are all crucial
I don’t accept the debate is binary but it’s one we really need to have to gain clarity about what we mean. Whether it will be helpful to have the discussion in the glare of a hostile media is another matter
Yes, as a non GPEW member I appreciate your concerns about having this debate in the glare of publicity enraged by a hostile media.... but then, equally if the Greens are to gain more traction, quickly they need some strategy to break out of that media circus.... which in the end may be shifting focus (partly) away from parliamentarism?
I think they are currently being gifted a unique opportunity. If they play it right they could replace Labour as the main party of the left as the whole left has basically been abandoned by the other parties.

It's a beautiful work, it seems to be somewhere that is really very low traffic, and my very brief looking into the NGO mentioned... They're not about "domestic violence," so much as being SWERFs and probably TERFs.
OK, a bit more research... They make the TERFs look reasonable... While some of the companies they've gone after, I think are utter shitty companies (often for similar reasons as they say) even those that I think should be, "burned off the planet" that they're lying harshly about how terrible they are. So, yeah, the campaign is right shitty, and not in a, "oh they don't understand" kind of way. In a very much "we're making the world better, by taking everyone's right away, and are proud to be fascist," type of way.
