>I *believe* there's a pretty low chance of any meltdowns or nuclear events, due to so many fail-safes.

Thanks for sharing your opinion. But wouldn't it still be a serious safety hazard for the local population through contaminated air/water?

And if no radioactive material is set free, isn't it still available to keep producing nuclear weapons? According to a German article Iran is estimated to already have sufficient Uranium for 15 nuclear bombs.

In my simple mind that means you either have to directly destroy that material (and potentially expose millions of people to it) or if you just destroy the production facilities, you can only slow down the enrichment of *further* material without impacting the current capabilities. Do I oversee something?

If you bomb a facility that is working with radioactive material that can be used to produce a nuclear bomb, isn't there a pretty high risk of causing a meltdown? And if so isn't that pretty similar to Israel dropping a nuclear bomb on Iran themselves?

True. And it's also not like that's some kind of secret. That's an official branch of the Ukrainian military organization.

Does anyone know if the Eutelsat service is technically comparable to Starlink? So far, I was under the impression that there's no real alternative to it in terms of bandwidth and response time.

Second, Eutelsat has been criticized a lot for (still today!) spreading Russian propaganda via their TV satellites. There's even a dedicated section on that in their Wikipedia article. Not sure if it's adequate to frame them now as the good guys.

Then at least start to eliminate them where it is possible: single use cups, pizza boxes, oven paper, pans, rain jackets, dental floss, skiing wax etc.

And for the other areas tax all PFAS products with an increasing rate year-by-year. If the alternative is 'just keep going' I have doubts that the industry is trying hard enough to find substitutes.

Mhh... Maybe it's time for me to create a community on Lemmy about buying from EU or Europe rather than US.
