Russia is 12th in Uranium exports, with 0.001% of global exports. Kazakhstan is first at 59%, but there’s Canada with 30%, France with 8%, and the US with 2%. There’s plenty of politically easy Uranium, especially if people start buying it over Kazakhstan.
India, Brazil, Australia, and the US are also slated to have the most Thorium resources, which could be a more significant nuclear fuel with modern and near-modern reactors.

It’s like saying ants don’t affect buildings. In the vast majority of situations it’s true, but carpenter ants can destroy wooden structures in some cimates.
The high school class is concerned about the effects of gravity, wind, rain, earthquakes, and maybe taxes on buildings, while the college+ classes can get into the effects of wood eating organisms, angry tenants, and killdozers.

On the other side of the yam from the cheese wedge. It’s totally supposed to be a layer cake, but it looks like freeze dried ice cream.

That slice of cake is either a rock or the baker needs to be introduced to yeast.
- Comment on Let π = 5 2 weeks ago:
If we’re not calculating something useful, then why are we here and not in the library learing about the universe?
Better question: What curvature of space is necessary for the apparent value of π to be 5?
- Comment on Let π = 5 2 weeks ago:
Or 10, whatever. The precise value is only relevant when measuring the curve of space, and they’ll still disagree with mathematicians on most of the digits.

Wouldn’t that be Etterra’s razor? Or do logical principles work of the “first published” method of naming?
- Comment on shrimp colour drama 1 month ago:
Have you seen false colour images of flowers or galaxies? There’s definitely cool things to see, especially when getting into infrared light.
- Comment on shrimp colour drama 1 month ago:
We can both detect orange light, but the shrimp can also detect red light mixed with yellow light. We get tricked into also seeing orange, despite no strictly orange light being there.
Think of it like sound. If we heard sound like we see light, we would hear a chord as identical to a tone somewhere in the middle of those notes. Mantis shrimp can see chords of light without any mixing, seeing both colours rather than just a colour somewhere in between.

If different types of cells looked different, we would have zebra stripes. I think only geneticly female people would though, for the same reason only geneticly female cats can be calico.
- Comment on mycology 1 month ago:
There’s never two fungi here though, the mycelium is always continuous. There’s never another individual structure either, like ribosomal cloning, it’s just more hyphae.

- Comment on AI companies are violating a basic social contract of the web and and ignoring robots.txt 2 months ago:
My angle was more about all rules being social contructs, and said rules being important for the continued operation of society, but that’s a good angle too.
Lots of laws don’t come with real punishments either, especially if you have money. We can change this too.
- Comment on AI companies are violating a basic social contract of the web and and ignoring robots.txt 2 months ago:
All laws are just words on peices of paper. Why should you care?

Mint and Debian are great, and once you set everything as you like it, they’re pretty solid. Pop_OS is easy if you have an Nvidia GPU too.
As for comparability, proton has all but settled the issue. The SteamDeck runs on Linux after all. Take a look on Proton Database to check if a game works well or not. FWIW, every game I’ve tried save one has been flawless, and that one did things with files and wallpapers.
If you have a second computer you don’t need working, I’d recommend just trying something on it, switch distributions now and then. See how far you can get with just Linux.
- Comment on YouTube now suggests new content *by colour* 2 months ago:
Even easier, pick video lengths.
<1min, 1-10min, 10-30min, 30-60min, 60min+.
I’d use that all the time.

Nah, just your average citiot, though I know a few who worked in PA.
- Comment on Venus by Tuesday 3 months ago:
Smack in the middle of Canada, winters colder than Alaska, summers nearly as warm as Hawai’i. We already get very little rain, and like the rest of the Great Plains, we’re on track to being a desert (temperate in our case). We already lost most of our topsoil in the dirty 30s, and there’s plenty of sand just below in the glacial till.
I’d rather that not happen.
- Comment on Haier hits Home Assistant plugin dev with takedown notice 3 months ago:
I can give them props for trying something, sure. Too bad that something looks like it was left in the sun next to a mirror.
I think it would be a lot better if the layers matched, instead of being kinda random.
- Comment on Venus by Tuesday 3 months ago:
Correct me if I’m wrong, but this warm ocean leading to cold poles is one of the suspected mechanisms that cause repeated glacial/interglacial periods in ice ages, right?
- Comment on Venus by Tuesday 3 months ago:
A normal winter started in October, maybe mid November, not early January. This was my first brown christmas, and that worries me.

- Comment on Unity bans VLC from Unity Store. 3 months ago:
It almost makes me think the higher ups got paid to kill Unity. All the C-suite got golden parachutes if they kill the project now.
Then I remember OGL and the fat lack of competition they had, and remember C-suite often don’t know what they’re actually in charge of. Malice vs stupidity and such.
- Comment on How many of you actually use the headphone jack on your phone? 4 months ago:
Another thing that I need to charge and more drain on the phone, when the phone is right there? And I still need to mess with cables? Plus $146 is more than I’ve spent on audio equipment in my entire life. This feels like the worst of both worlds for me.
- Comment on How many of you actually use the headphone jack on your phone? 4 months ago:
C to HDMI doesn’t sound that bad, so just have 3-5 USB-C ports on the phone.
