We already have floating nuclear power plants and we’ve never had an issue with one (in the US at least). Look at any modern aircraft carrier or naval submarine. Many of them are able to be connected to shore and power nearby buildings in emergencies.

American here. Lots of us don’t want to be over there either. Seeing our tax dollars literally set on fire on the other side of the world pisses us off.
Not putting your fucking shopping cart away. There’s no better way for me to explain it than the shopping cart theory:
Given that it took Asus months to even acknowledge the SD card issues on the original Ally, they don’t hold very much goodwill imo
I think it was Paranormal Home Inspectors
I remember a TV show where a home inspector would show up to “haunted” houses and explain how all their supposed ghost stories were actually due to loose doors, bad plumbing, etc.
I mean, they’re not handing out loaded firearms from behind the counter. I can see it startling someone, but realistically if you are following all the rules of gun safety it should be a non-issue.
Because of woke, right?
Honestly, I don’t hate this right off the bat. If anything, it’s better for this technology to become more broadly accessible to people for real uses (asking questions, learning things) than spewing out garbage that gets posted to the internet.
Making it accessible to people without requiring payment or creating an account isn’t a bad thing, either. I do wonder if the free 15 minutes is per call or cumulative per caller.

Great! There’s plenty of precedent for floating nuclear reactors. Just look at any modern aircraft carrier or navy submarine. The US Navy operates hundreds of nuclear reactors at sea with a perfect safety record.
