You have to manually provide a seed every time you want a random number. Gophers will defend this with their dying breath.

Well the problem with the Texas power grid is that it exists in the first place. Still, when it comes to safety, you have to multiply how bad it is by the number of people it will affect, and divide by the amount of power generated to get the right picture. There is a media bias towards rare, intense events which causes people to think they are more common than they really are. This explains people’s views on nuclear power, school shootings, terrorism, shark attacks etc.

Statistically nuclear is by far the safest form of power generation. Of course, it would be good to locate it in areas that are not disaster prone. As far as I understand it though, the issue with nuclear is the cost. But in a perfect world we would need something to smooth out the inconsistency of renewables, either battery tech or something like nuclear that you can turn on and off as needed.

The beauty of a threaded conversation platform is that you can just close threads you’re not interested in. Or, apparently, start a new thread bitching about them.

I assume they’re talking about using a washcloth or loofah, but I’m not sure as I’m also a committed bare-hander.
