Who pissed on your Wheaties this morning? Got a little mold on your favorite pants?
- Comment on Whats the best way to remove mold stains from clothes? 9 months ago:
A little off topic, but your laundry should never be in a condition to allow mold growth. Stuff should be allowed to dry out if it got wet (if you don’t intend to wash it soon) and washed laundry should be promptly dried. If you are doing that and it still happened, you might have a mold problem in your home. The shirt might not be saveable, but this might be the lesson to avoid more expensive mistakes in the future.

Yes
- Comment on Is the bot/troll situation getting worse? 9 months ago:
Out of curiosity, can you specify the topics or give specific examples of this shitty behavior you speak of? Without examples it is impossible to determine if you are discussing behavior that is straight-up pathological (e.g. name-calling) or people having a different opinion.

If you haven’t read it, this is JK Rowling’s essay in question.
A lot of people haven’t read the essay that created such controversy.
- Comment on Researchers publish open-source repository using NLP to analyse the bias in BBC reporting on Palestine. 10 months ago:
Seems like the analysis is starting from the hypothesis that the BBC is biased, while a better scientific inquiry is “IS the BBC biased”.

Lot of Republican governors of states that signed a letter urging this subsidy to be renewed. Seriously, broadband subsidies for rural areas should be renewed.

I can’t believe I wasted five minutes of my life on that hell. Whoever constructed that is an evil genius.
- Comment on 24/7 solar towers could double energy output 11 months ago:
You should educate yourself about GenIV reactors (designs, supply chains, costs…) before you embarrass yourself.
- Comment on 24/7 solar towers could double energy output 11 months ago:
The technologies on which these reactor designs are based have been demonstrated previously. The specific designs are in progress and well on their way. AGR, EBR-II, and MSRE are examples.
- Comment on 24/7 solar towers could double energy output 11 months ago:
Nope. Deployment of factory fabricated microreactors is planned for the 2030s.
- Comment on 24/7 solar towers could double energy output 11 months ago:
There are technology (reactor) demonstrations planned within the next 2-3 years, so not quite but very close. A lot of active R&D work going on right now for specific designs at a lot of companies.
- Comment on 24/7 solar towers could double energy output 11 months ago:
That’s why factory fabricated microreactors are such a cool concept!
- Comment on 24/7 solar towers could double energy output 11 months ago:
Right. Like damn, get real. We gonna have 50-story towers decorating the landscape for every 73 homes?? It doesn’t even make sense for extremely remote and impoverished locations due to the amount of materials it needs (cost).
- Comment on 24/7 solar towers could double energy output 11 months ago:
It uses a ton of material to power 73 homes annually, works best in a desert but requires a lot of water. Yeah, nuclear energy is really threatened by that. Modern microreactors in development make, for example, 1.5 MWe at let’s say 90% capacity factor. Assuming about 1000 kWh/no for a house, that microreactor, which can fit on the back of a semi truck, can power 985 homes anually.
Yeah, I will stick with nuclear, thanks.

Aaaaaand this is one reason I stopped posting photos to Facebook ages ago. They are probably doing something similar with posts as well. Quitting FB is a wise idea.

You think that upsets me UwU

There’s a whole army of men who want to be referred to as women and women who want to be referred to as men, so Stephanie -> Lady Gaga is pretty tame.

Not definitivy. Ancient Egyptian hyroglyphics withstood it for a while but the Rosetta Stone cracked it (also I suspect modern computing would have done so by now anyway). The Voynich Manuscript is uncracked but there is a hypothesis that it gibberish, an uncracked natural language, or a ciphertext (encrypted).
- Comment on [deleted] 11 months ago:
Any unencrypted language is crackable; if you are simply using an alphabet to obscure English, it will be immediately broken simply due to frequency analysis of the the letters and word lengths. A whole unencrypted language is harder but there will be plenty of context clues to crack it. Encryption is by far the best way to ensure privacy.
- Comment on So uhh.. how often should I be washing me towels? 11 months ago:
Face towels (washcloths) really only one use and then wash. Body towels I switch about once a week but I live in a dry climate and they dry fast. I also use a linen towel which is very absorbent but also dries much faster than terry. Kitchen towels I change depending on how I used them - normal use (drying hands), every couple of days. Cooking? Change after I am done cooking.

- Comment on Would nuclear reactors be feasible everywhere? 1 year ago:
You need water to generate steam to turn a turbine and make electricity (same for coal, natural gas, fusion). However, many advanced reactor designs do not use water for the reactor coolant itself, unlike light water reactors that do. They use gas, molten salt, or liquid metals. As a result, you can get to quite high temperatures useful for process heat, such as hydrogen production. Direct desalination might also be doable, the issue/question being on the design of the non-nuclear side of the plant.
A lot of Gen IV designs are in the process of commercialization now, with demonstrations slated for later this decade.
- Comment on New homeowner lots of questions 1 year ago:
You honestly might want to replace the carpet. The carpet and pad and possibly the subfloor may be urine soaked. You can paint the subfloor with a smell blocker and then put in new pad and carpet. It’s a lot more expensive but then you know what you are getting. Also carpet doesn’t have a huge lifetime (depending on the material and quality) so if it’s 10+ years it might be at its age limit.
