What different type of waste do the reactors produce? Anything with a half-life of less than 700,000 years?

No, Johnny's doesn't sell plants, but they are a great company and source for locally-adapted seeds.

Actually, yes to all of those questions.

This equipment would be fired in training, expire, or need refitting at some point anyway. It was going to get replaced eventually regardless this way it kills an aggressor. It doesn't hurt us at all to defend the vulnerable with the weapons they need to defend their home.
Leaving the weak to get run over by a revanchist power is disgusting.

Why do I need to know the difference between reactors? Do they produce a different type of waste? Are they any less subject to human error, subterfuge or indifference?

You are ignorant if you don't think those stockpiles now need to be replaced.
Pretending as if the 100+ billion wasn't an expense is absolutely absurd. But what else would I expect but lies and dishonesty from someone trying to justify the continued US war machine.

Is it a coincidence that Frank FM went to 107.5?

Literally any other coastal area. Texas is far more affordable and Florida actually is as well if you don't mind living in rough areas. Being somewhere with a more concentrated population helps; there is far more opportunity.

How so? Do you know the systemic differences between gen 3 American reactors and old Soviet reactor? Everything about the two is completely different.
Or the differences between gen 3 and gen 4/5 or thorium reactors?
If not, you're ignorant. Which is fine! But using that ignorance to spread fear is wrong.

Reply to Hope Squad Maine provides nourishment, compassion to state's homeless population by Shake-Spear4666
>We’ve got how many church buildings in this city that have heated buildings that are sitting there, and we have all these people out here that are freezing in doorways. How about opening up some churches, things like that. I think until, as community, we say this matters it’s not going to change
Dude speaks his mind on top of being a compassionate human. Lots of respect

You're ignorant about how the aid is supplied. The majority of it is stockpiled military systems. I guess we could give the homeless each some 155mm arty shells but that's not gonna fix their problems.

This happens in this spot every couple of years. I used to live in that neighborhood.

Mid Coast - Brunswick to Camden are easy drives. Yes, I'd much rather a local farm where I can go and get stuff. The selection at the local farmer's market is a bit limited. I know Johnny's Selected Seed is north of Augusta but I don't know if they sell plants.

If you are conscious you can refuse EMTs, regardless of severity of injury. You could be bleeding out and all your limbs chopped off, if you refuse they can't help you. They however will do their best to have you reconsider your decision. If you are unconscious they can help you as implied consent in the matter, where any reasonable person would consent. The police though would be able to stop the car from being driven, hah. Maybe police wasn't on scene yet? Weird story in any case

And yet... It could still happen. You're still not immune to it.
