And asbestos. I work in hazardous materials and the amount of things that had asbestos in them is terrifying.

Asbestos carpets, and asbestos-structured paint for fucks sake. Imagine how many peoppe sanded down asbestos paint…

The good life of the 80s?

well, OP seems to be a healthy white straight male in his 20s, otherwise they definitely wouldn’t comment this.

Sorry, I left my magic wand in my other pants…

Most people don’t want to break the sacred bond of pretending you’re busy, because then next time, they might get caught for doing the same.

In the field of safety there is a concept called a “normal accident”, or a system accident. Basically it says that in any complex system catastrophic accidents will always happen, because they are impossible to foresee (due to complexity) and thus prevent. That theory says you need to prepare for the consequence of the accident just as much as try to prevent it.

So, people are always going to lose control, you need to prepare for when it happens.

Nuclear what?

I work in hazardous materials handling and safety (general as well as hazardous materials).

The majority of the waste isn’t high-level, and can be relatively safely disposed of. The vast majority of the high-level waste at Sellafield comes from nuclear weapons manufacturing. But thanks to amazing cold-wat era recordburningkeeping, nobody really what is what. A sealed vessel could hold harmless coveralls, or toxic sludge, and nobody knows anything other than that it’s built to literally without bombing, so it’s insanely slow going.

The actual civilian spent reactor fuel is a tiny fraction of what is at Sellafield, and it’s some of the easiest material to dispose of, since they’re packaged solids. The real headaches are the contaminated machinery and the nuclear weapon sludge.

So yes, nuclear power is safe and clean. Nuclear weapons being made at the cold in secret labs? Not so much. But Sellafield is only a problem because the Brits kept notes. The US dug holes in the desert and poured their nuclear sludge into them, then promptly forgot all about the. The Soviet Union did god knows what with their waste. The French poured it into the ocean.

In hazardous waste handling, the best waste is contained waste, and that doesn’t apply to any other fossil fuel. CO2 kills tens of million every year through global warming and many more die from dust, where nuclear energy deaths from all sources barely register.

What weird snowflake

Which, in older machines, might happily pump a fuckton of gaseous helium into the room, potentially creating overpressure and squeezing the door shut while people suffocate.

Most dangerous thing anywhere is cars, tbh.

No, Germany didn’t replace nuclear with coal. They replaced it with renewables.

That’s… One way of looking at it. Another way to look at it is: “the closing of nuclear power plants has allowed gas and oil plants to stay in operation”.

Coal power production is now much lower than before they shut off their nuclear power plants

But it could have been even lower.

I hate when people assume I’m the office assistant or new hire when I’m the Assistant Director.

I started my own company, with my name on it. I want to punch old white man who asks if “Mr Alcaran” is in, or if the owner is my father or husband.

I once did an interview with someone who asked me if this was my internship. He didn’t get the job.

Step 1: don’t invade poland.

Step 2: stop being Nazis

There, that’s how Hitler could have won.

Let me throw you a little binary choice set:

A1: HR are great, and I trust them.

A2: HR are great, and I don’t trust them.

B1: HR sucks, and I trust them.

B2: HR sucks, and I don’t trust them.

Obviously option A1 and A2 have the same outcome, while B1 has significantly worse outcomes than B2. What’s worse is that, by your own post, HR can go from A to B in an instant, because they’re following orders.

Obviously it’s in my own best interest that I district all HR.

And extremely predictable

Whatever the fuck we wanted? What a weird question…

Well, I suggest we go fucking DO something about it maybe?

It’s completely normal behaviour, it just turns out that normal people are fucking morons.

Isn’t mango super wet on pizza?

They call it a Pizza New Zealand at my local pizza place, and it’s pretty good!

I mean, at least he’s an economist.

On the other hand, he’s also a VVDer
