It was so loud I thought someone had dropped a huge item from the balcony.
3 people are injured, one seems to be critical. Police and ambulance are here. Don't feep like going down to look at what is happening. But I just can't understand how such accident can happen on a 50kmph road in a city right between 2 traffic lights.
I have seen more accidents on this road than I have seen in my entire life in all the places I have lived before.
A robot crushed a man to death in South #Korea after the machine apparently failed to differentiate him from the boxes of produce it was handling, the Yonhap news agency reported on Wednesday.
Do you remember the ethical discussion about whether self-driving cars should hit a child or an elderly person when in doubt? I always thought the discussion was misguided because the sensors can't even separate a person from a box.

Disclaimer: I might not have as much knowledge about radiation as kyle hill, but still i'm pretty good and deep into this topic for neurodivergent reasons and out of curiosity/interest. ;)
So ..... _that_ they're going to release this water, was a non-issue for me from the get go. Other nations and power plants release _far_ more radioactive residue per year, as fukushima daiichi is going to release. (On top of that, he says that in the video, we have about 8 kilogram of diluted thorium in the oceans. The amount of thorium in the water which will be released over _decades_ is _just_ 3 grams.)
Kyle Hill nicely show up the facts, provided from tepco, but they are in accordance with international scientific standards.
On top of that, he actually takes a tour to the power plant, looks at the cleaned water itself.. And feels confused.
I have to second that. They tried to make american class advertising premium quality bullshit PR.
Going along with kyle, i agree. Still. While ethically not so ideal and perfect. They need to get their word out.
And, there is no viable alternative as to treat the water as best as chemically possible.... and release the remaining bit of thorium we can't get out into the oceans.
For ah so many reasons sadly.
But _ONE_ which is actually the reason, which turned me away from the "nuclear bridge technology" idea and concept.
That we could and should use nuclear power, as a bridge, for powering us while we try to build alternative and regenerative power sources like wind and solar energy.
And _my_ personal reason, why the fukushima daiichi accident actually really and completely changed my mind, is similar to the reason, why they now need to start to release that water.
It's basically business administration and economics.
We can't economically build really safe nuclear power plants, where we include _all_ costs, from the mining for resources, building a plant, purifying fuels, maintaining fuel and plant, recycling fuel as far as possible, and safely dismantle a plant after it's lifetime _and_ store all the irradiated and naturally radioactive stuff until it becomes harmless lead in millions of years.
It's just not possible.
In a perfect utopia, where our main focus would not be the creation of profit, but research and safe handling of technology.. It would maybe be possible.
But in this capitalistic world? No way ever ... sadly, but realistically.
Like, it was the frickin main reason in chernobyl as well as in fukushima:
Both plants essentially failed not just by neglect or bad management. But because at some point, someone took the cheap route..
Costing thousands of ppl their lives and millions of ppl their homes.
That's why i principally think, nuclear energy is a bad idea. We can't handle it safely .. and as long as capitalism rules the world, we never will be.
Getting that out.... Kyle Hills video is really good and gives a few things to think about .... not just for today, but for the future too. ;)
And still ... they need to get rid of all that treated water... Again, for freaking economical reasons... _meh_

Ce n'est pas une bonne idée d'avoir un accident un samedi après-midi de mois d'été...
🐧Il faut attendre le lundi pour avoir une voiture de prêt, et donc annuler une expo-vente le dimanche.
🐬 Les garages sont fermés ou débordés et refusent de prendre les voitures accidentées qui restent alors lamentablement au dépôt du dépannage, sans passage d'expert, sans réparation ou indemnisation.
🐠 Les loueurs de voitures n'ont plus vraiment de véhicules disponibles, sûrement pas à la bonne taille pour mon métier qui nécessite du transport de gros matériel.
🐟 Ça prend du temps, de l'énergie et de la charge mentale pour gérer le bordel.
🦐 Il faut trouver un médecin disponible dans les 4 jours pour constater les dommages physiques et psychologiques alors que même les médecins sont en vacances.
🦀 Quand on est déjà fatiguée et en stress par ailleurs, ça peut faire péter les plombs et avoir envie de tout envoyer bouler.
Je n'en veux pas à la femme qui a été inattentive, a brûlé un stop et une priorité et nous est rentré dedans. Ça aurait pu être moi. Mais quand je vois l'impact qu'une autre conductrice peut avoir sur ma vie, et encore, nous ne sommes pas blessées et je suis bien assurée tous risques, j'ai envie de demander très fort à tous
☀️🌿🌸 D'ÊTRE VRAIMENT PRUDENTS SUR LA ROUTE 🌸🌿☀️
Ce n'est pas une phrase anodine, ce n'est pas un concept vain. On peut vraiment mettre les autres en difficulté ou pire, les tuer. Evidemment tout le monde le sait, hein, mais un rappel est toujours utile, non?
💝 BISOUS 💝

Les chercheurs ont par exemple demandé aux personnes interrogées si elles étaient d’accord avec la proposition « Les gens ne devraient pas fumer dans les zones densément peuplées où d’autres personnes respirent leurs fumées de cigarette ». Résultat : 75 % d’entre elles acquiescent. En revanche, si l’on remplace « cigarette » par « voiture », l’affirmation devenant « Les gens ne devraient pas conduire dans les zones densément peuplées où d’autres personnes respirent leurs gaz d’échappement », seules 17 % des personnes interrogées sont en accord avec l’affirmation.

Israeli media has put a gag order on all national news and social networks to prevent any news coming out a obout the incident that happened inside a military facility in the suburbs of Tel Aviv. The explosion seems to have created a crate about 70m in diameter and created a huge cloud and smell of burning chemicals that could be felt in most of the city.
The images are from a few hours after the explosion shared by Palestinians on social media.

Le #contexte de la #guerre froide a poussé l' #URSS à développer ses premières #armes #atomiques dans les conditions les plus secrètes. Afin d'assurer la #confidentialité totale, des villes entières de plusieurs dizaines de milliers d'habitants ont été formées autour des centres de #recherches #stratégiques sans pour autant apparaître sur les #cartes ni recevoir de nom. J'ai grandi dans l'une d'elles.

It's like a bad copy of USSR under the first days of #Chernobyl, but 3 weeks after the worst environmental disaster in IS modern history, the right wing media and those who caused the relaxed regulations and anti union legislation are winning the propaganda war against the stupid and somehow criminal Biden administration.
It's just unbelievable how badly they are handling this and how united and agressive are the right wing trolls to put the blame of the disaster caused by Trump and conservatives changes in safety requirements for hazardous material transport and outdated, unsafe and faulty private train transport in the US.

J’ai eu une panne de direction assistée sur ma 207, j’ai eu beaucoup de chance, j’arrivais sur un rondpoint, dans une légère courbe, je me suis retrouvée sur la voie de gauche, il n’y avait personne en face. Ça s’est terminé sans blessé ni casse matérielle hormis la pompe électrique à l’origie de la panne.
C’est une panne qui peut conduire au cimetière car vous perdez le contrôle de votre voiture, vous pouvez vous retrouver en face d’un camion, d’un mur, .... Après quelques recherches il s’avère que la fragilité de ce type de pompe est connue de Peugeot. À ma connaissance le constructeur n’a pas fait de rappel des voitures équipées de ce modèle de pompe (le problème a été corrigé sur les modèles suivants).

Yeah, let us cause a small #nuclear #accident and then beat the #Russian /Sarcasm
Some representatives of the establishment in London and Washington started talking about the possible involvement of #NATO in the conflict with #Russia.
Tobias Ellwood, a member of the British Parliament, said that "any deliberate damage to the Ukrainian nuclear reactor with a possible radiation leak would be a violation of NATO Article 5."
A similar statement was made by Adam Kinzinger a member of the US House of Representatives. In his opinion, a radiation leak that "will kill people in NATO countries" will automatically trigger Article 5 of the Alliance's charter.
Selenski: I held very substantive negotiations on many topics today with President of Türkiye Erdoğan.
We can and should think only about how to win - address by the President of Ukraine.
Selenski: The Russian army is spending enormous resources to capture at least one more kilometer in Donbas.
So let all Ukrainian men and willing women run to the front and fight to the end to stop the Russians.
#Willingness to negotiate was low before the war started and still is. The Russians are spending a lot of resources. Ukraine doesn't have many resources left, but still sends its people to attack Russia's meat grinder resources.
I have heard many theories about the reason for this war, but I still can't believe that something like this happens in these "modern" times.
