Reply to comment by [deleted] in The 3 Mile Island nuclear power station near Harrisburg, PA, suffers a partial meltdown in 1979, due to coolant leakage. Though there were no casualties, the accident gave way to more stringent safety standards, and also a slowdown in construction of reactors. by LoneWolfInCyberia

From a technological standpoint, we will effectively eliminate all accidents once we let AI drive and ban humans from driving. Properly trained AI will handle virtually any scenario better then a human. We aren't quite there yet, but if we actually put resources into it, it could happen practically overnight.

I'm not a fan of those either and don't drive anything with one. My co-workers are firefighters and they've told me what fighting a fire with entrapment on involving that kind of battery is like. No thanks.

Reality is we gotta do the heavy lift of figuring out how to manage the nuclear waste once and for all.

I"m fine with nuclear power but we've kicked the can down the road too long on HOW to dispose of the waste it generates.

Reply to Here’s what we know about Paul Martino's involvement in this year's school board races by Open_Veins_8

Jeff Yass donates to his PAC, James O’Keefe will feature at its fundraiser at Mar-a-Lago, and his wife Aarati, a Kathy Barnette donor who called public school kids in CA "gangsters", is currently shopping for a school board seat in Central Bucks School District. “We have not set any limits or targets on how much money will be spent to support our slate of candidates,” said Paul Martino.

Reply to Driving in Pennsylvania using Canadian Driver's license by Savage-Horseman

Less than year you're good with a Canadian license. Longer than a year you're supposed to get a state license but I'm not sure how often this is actually enforced.

From my understanding you do need to retake the tests but the US driving tests are genuinely quite easy and would probably take part of an afternoon for an experienced driver.

Legally you can lease a car with an international license. Your works HR might be able to help you with some of this relocation info.

You can also always contact the DMV make sure you're getting correct info https://www.dmv.pa.gov/pages/Contact-Us.aspx

You may drive with your license in PA

>5. Can I drive in Pennsylvania with my Foreign Driver's License? Individuals who possess a valid foreign driver's license from their country are authorized to drive in Pennsylvania for up to one year from their date of entry into the United States, or upon expiration of their foreign license, whichever comes first. International driving permits are strongly recommended, but not required.
