This is correct information, but not meaningful, possibly damaging, in regards to the indented message.

America is closer to fascism than China is. All fascism’s are authorization but not all authoritarian regimes are fascist.

When supernovas explode they’re responsible for most exotic elements larger than iron. So it’s either that or radioactive decay.

The tragedy is that humans aren’t convinced to change their minds by facts like this. They’re convinced by good stories from their friends and family.

Cause those things are similar!!

They’re everywhere. I saw them in Hawaii and locals make fun of people that have salt life merch. I think it’s a clothing brand marketed to people with boats and sport fisherman.

Fission doesn’t happy because we cut atoms in half. Fission happens because we blast enriched uranium with neutrons, the uranium absorbs a neutron, gets too heavy, and falls apart.

As someone who worked in nuclear power you should definitely NOT pipette by mouth.

This boggle my mind. We turn out about one or two nuclear subs a year. It really shouldn’t take that long.

- Comment on How to make an EV tire that won’t pollute the environment 4 months ago:
That’s a list of a bunch of trucks compared to a midsized SUV, so you’re kind of proving yourself wrong. Cars are split into weight classes, so a comparison that doesn’t acknowledge that isn’t very useful. A EV Sedan is on average much heavier than an ICE sedan.
No one’s saying ICE vehicles are better for the environment than EVs
- Comment on How to make an EV tire that won’t pollute the environment 4 months ago:
You’re getting down voted but you’re right. I don’t think people realize that most tires are now made from synthetic rubber, AKA plastic.
Also someone tried to disprove you by posting a list with ICE trucks being as heavy as EV cars. Like what? Of course trucks are heavier. EV Trucks are even heavier than that and an EV subcompact will be much heavier than an ICE compact. Also everyone is talking about how trucks and SUVs are getting heavier and bigger. So not sure what they mean by “we never talk about this with trucks!”

- Comment on Is Boeing in big trouble? World's largest aerospace firm faces 10 more whistleblowers after sudden death of two 6 months ago:
Even if the dude that “killed himself” did do it to himself, he did so because he was harassed by a company for doing his job. Even in the non conspiracy version of the story, the corporation still acted in bad faith and should be held liable for it’s actions. Why is this the hill you want to die on?

There’s a lesson here about the differences between history and a good historical narrative, but that’s the lesson of most history and no one ever listens to it.
- Comment on spite 7 months ago:
Something that really trips me up is that the humans that do those incredible, heart warming things often carry the same motivations and beliefs as the monsters. The road to hell, after all, is paved with good intentions.
For instance, I’m seeing a lot of pallells in this story that align with the creation of Africanized honey bees.

- Comment on Radioactive water leak from Fukushima power plant raises risk of ground contamination 9 months ago:
It says 220 x “standard” which I assume just means background. That’s usually 5-10 mrem/hr, so 220 x 10 = 2.2 rem/hr. For reference you get an additional 300 mrem added to your total lifetime dose everytime you take a flight (due to thinner atmosphere, less shielding from cosmic radiation). You’d get the same dose by standing 2.2 inches away from the source of the spill in the article for 1 hour. Without knowing how much water leaked I don’t know how contaminated it was, but that’s not AWFUL. Its not great, but that’s definitely not terrible.
Source: Was a radiation tech. I’ve been out for a bit tho, so my math might be off.
- Comment on Mark Zuckerberg made $29 billion this morning after Meta stock makes record surge 9 months ago:
This is my opinion, but I think protest is worthless unless the people protesting show that they are willing to give up somethingsomething important to get what they want. I don’t think we’ll make progress until people are willing to give up the status quo for a better future. The mind hates uncertainty, so even shitty future that’s predictable is more desirable than a possible better, but uncertain future.
The middle class came into existence because people that would never be a part of it were willing to give their lives for it. Many did. If we are not willing to sacrifice our safety and secure future for a better life we may never experience, we will make no progress.

Do you think female birth control is 100% safe and comfortable for women? Hydrocele are nothing compared to some of the adverse side affects of female birth control. Hydrocele only form in the thing sheath surrounding the testical, are do to physical irritation (not injected fluid), and usually go away on their own. Also, I’d imagine people smart enough to develop male birth control considered that exceptionally common alement.
