Not a problem. To me, nuclear power is the answer to the mantra of “technology will solve the climate crisis,” and we’ve had it for years, yet we’re too afraid to use it!

Nuclear powerplants are so safe that they’ve only had a handful of (admittedly disastrous and high profile) failures, and have killed less people per watt hour generated than even wind and solar power. Nuclear power is the safest, cleanest, most efficient form of green energy we can get right now. Yes, it can be dangerous if not managed properly. But Fukushima, Chernobyl, and Three Mile Island were not freak accidents. Deliberate mistakes were made that were known at the time and should be used as warnings to keep the industry safe, not as sirens that lead is to swear off nuclear energy.
I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but there is no evidence that anybody has ever named a child la-a. My mom used to tell this story all the time, and I believed her for years that this was a real name until I googled it and read up on it. The name is an old urban legend that may pre date Internet lore.
Did not know this fork exists. Thank you for enlightening my day, Internet stranger.
Earliest game I remember playing was descent 2, which most people today have never even heard of.
That is fair, I would call that a bit of perspective, bit not unfair perspective. Yes, it did take significant disasters to make the mistakes apparent, so who’s to say if anybody would’ve noticed or how much of a problem they would’ve been.
