Yes, but the visible light will overpower the glow.
- Comment on Can somebody please explain why the world hasn't gone nuclear yet? 1 week ago:
Why would we need to store energy for more than an day? We only need to smooth out the difference between supply and demand.
The mayor advantage of the European grid is the disconnectedness over long distances. There are always enough places where the sun shines or the wind blows. - Comment on Can somebody please explain why the world hasn't gone nuclear yet? 1 week ago:
I am not arguing that nuclear should have been phased when it was, as that resulted in more coal and gas, but that clinging to it now is a mistake.
Building a new nuclear power plant in Germany would take a decade if things went well. Until then grid battery storage can mature and demand adjustment projects can be rolled out. It’s probably also easier to convince germans to accept pumped hydro where they live over nuclear. - Comment on Can somebody please explain why the world hasn't gone nuclear yet? 1 week ago:
With the same amount of money you can build so much more renewable generation and storage than nuclear.
- Comment on Can somebody please explain why the world hasn't gone nuclear yet? 1 week ago:
It is also massively uneconomical. Even with existing subsidies, like free insurance and long term storage, plant operators don’t want to keep going.
Modern day nuclear advocates are like the Japanese soldiers in the 70s refusing to admit the war was lost decades ago.

The only reason “civilian” nuclear power exists is as a fig leaf for nuclear armament.
I don’t think post war Germany had the delusion of their own nukes. Here the nuclear industry just exists to shuffle public money into private pockets.
- Comment on NEW TREND JUST DROPPED 1 week ago:
They yearn for the tails of their ancestors.
- Comment on just wanting to see what happens 1 week ago:
That’s a centrist pipe dream, the morons accelerated them both to the right.

Not In My Back Yard
It refers to people generally supportive of things, but not where they live.
Typical topics are energy/transport infrastructure or housing for refugees/homeless people. - Comment on YSK: Non-violent protests are 2x likely to succeed and no non-violent movement that has involved more than 3.5% of the country population has ever failed 5 weeks ago:
YES, protesters are freely associating members of the general public, whereas the police are vetted and trained professionals, payed by taxes to “uphold the law”.
They should be held to a higher standard! - Comment on Seeking for funding 5 weeks ago:
If you have a theory of everything, I suspect whatever algebraic structure the terms follow, is at least a ring and therefore has additive inverses.
- Comment on Let's play this game again 1 month ago:
They don’t need to understand it, they just need to ask it a question that refers to it and some surrounding algorithmic structure to create the paradox.
A well prepared mathematician, skeptical of the functioning of the oracle devices could speak that question in a few minutes. - Comment on Let's play this game again 1 month ago:
They will pay you, what they pay for another employees day.
- Comment on Let's play this game again 1 month ago:
You are hounded by mathematicians that want to apply the halting problem to the device.
If they ever get through and ask the question, reality breaks. - Comment on Let's play this game again 1 month ago:
You also get 1 trillion in cash delivered to the same location.

Saturation is a side effect of eating you won’t receive.
- Comment on ‘My Property Tax Went From $15K to a Life-Altering $91K a Year’ 2 months ago:
They qualify under the local homestead law.
But because that limits year over year increases (which I consider reasonable) and is reassessed after mayor upgrades (which they did) they now have a huge jump in taxes. - Comment on Pope 2 months ago:
Probably because she payed to be dead weight on the dick rocket that was marketed as the first all female space missions.
In reality Valentina Tereshkova became the first woman in space and because she flew solo it was also the first all female space mission. - Comment on Caption this. 3 months ago:
It could be useful to reduce their numbers, as long as the female passes the mutation to its children.
- Comment on That explains a lot 4 months ago:
I was a black hole analog built out of Bose-Einstein-Condensate.
Considering they used sound instead of light, wouldn’t that make it a silent hole? - Comment on BRASSICAS 4 months ago:
To all the veggie haters:
Broccoli recipe:
- Fry broccoli with paprika and small pieces of meat or tofu in a pan until brown.
- Add water and seasonings.
- Steam to desired hardness.
- Serve with rice or couscous.
Cauliflower recipe:
- Make brown butter by heating up butter and adding breadcrumbs to soak it up.
- Serve it on enough steamed cauliflower to justify the amount of brown butter you are about to eat.
- Comment on I love the future. 4 months ago:
It depends on the coalition that gets formed, does the conservative party go with the center left party for 4 years of stagnation or break their word and work with the fat right.
They have done the later already on emigration, passing a non-binding resolution (with only one conservative vote against) and narrowly losing on the second round because their own members of parlament didn’t show up to vote. - Comment on Could Trump Force X To Become The Everything App For Government Payments 5 months ago:
It would be funny because I don’t think twitter has the server infrastruktur or the domain knowledge.

I doubt the blood is more useful than all the organs required to produce it.
But if I lie braindead in a hospital, I would be happy if my body is divided up in the way a doctor determines to be the most useful for society. - Comment on don't be a coward 7 months ago:
It can be crystals and photons.
How do you build actuators that react to light without electricity?
