I never agreed that its outmoded or old tech.

At Fukushima Daichii died one worker of radiation poisoning and one in a crane incident. The evacuation killed 51 more. Scientific consense is, that the loss of life and cumulative lifetime would have been lower if there was no evacuation.

For the total number of airships, the loss of life (and airships) is quite high...

I explicitly wrote "civil nuclear power". I know there were big incidents, especially in early military nuclear sites. Windscale and Kyshtym are two of those.

Yeah, read it. Also the article with the discussion on the death toll. 31 immediate deaths 60 attributable in the following two decades

The official WHO estimate with 4000 more cancer deaths until 2050 is based on the disputed LNT model. Even UNSCEAR itself says:

The Scientific Committee does not recommend multiplying very low doses by large numbers of individuals to estimate numbers of radiation-induced health effects within a population exposed to incremental doses at levels equivalent to or lower than natural background levels.

Dr. Thomas shares that contrary to popular belief there is a scientific consensus that the Chernobyl accident has resulted in the deaths of less than 55 people as a result of radiation.

The two airship accidents with the most casualties count together 120 dead (USS Akron and Dixmude).

More people died in airship incidents than in civil nuclear power.

E: typo

So do I, and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.

Kurds deserve their own state as much as plaestinians do. But colonial nations back in the past fucked up.

Hey, that's a legitimate word... for particle physics.

Yeah, it's pronounced ['krapfə']. Written something like Krapfo.

In this case it's Austria not tolerating those fascists.

Dauerhaft Sommerzeit nacht atronomisch keinen Sinn... Winterzeit iat die 'wahre' Zeit bei der die Sonne um 12:00 am Zenit steht. Lieber die Regelarbeitszeiten an diese anpassen.

There is an 'adequately' missing. It somewhat counters the excuse of malice.

If you can't adequately attribute it to stupidity it has to be malice (or at least negligence).
