Otherwise, I usually prefer free open source solutions (FDroid), but I regularly donate to keep the projects alive. 1 and 2 are small dev studios that I am happy to support.

love the hat and also the grumpy face for the tech-duck (seemingly, you beat me to the idea)

Nuclear power is usually not abandoned for being dangerous, but because it’s weirdly complex to keep it safe as compared to the alternatives [1]. This makes it one of the most expensive ways to produce energy (at least given European regulations). Also, the raw material is expected to be quite rare relatively soon.

I guess this may be more about the way caveman made their fire… and the multi-billion cavedollar structure for holding the magic stone can be annoying.

[1] reading other comments, I feel like it is necessary to clarify that by alternatives, I do refer to green energy like wind, solar and water, plus energy storage.

I agree that atomic energy is preferable to fossil energy in almost all regards. The most convincing aspect for me is that you can see, pack and store your by-products, at least somehow, while CO₂ emissions can only insufficiently be handled using carbon capture and storage (CCS).

People tend to understand dangers with visible effects easier (impressive boom) than indirect effects like climate change (less impressive, slow motion, yet possibly apocalyptic boom).

Falls ihr ‘Silberfische’ bei euch beobachtet, es aber weder feucht oder warm, schimmlig usw. ist, können es auch Papierfische sein. Die fühlen sich in Büchern, Versandkartons, Klappkisten und Bildern wohl und brauchen wenig Feuchtigkeit.

In Zeiten von richtig viel Versandhandel nicht unwahrscheinlich.
