Rasputin’s Ghost killed Bobby Farrell for this.

He died on the morning of 30 December 2010, in a hotel room in Saint Petersburg, Russia, of heart failure.[6] His agent, John Seine, said Farrell had complained of breathing problems and of pain in his chest, which intensified after he performed with his band the prior evening.[7][8] Despite his still present dynamism, he had health problems for a decade. Farrell’s body was discovered by hotel staff after he failed to respond to a wake-up call.[9][10] Coincidentally, he died 94 years to the day and in the same city as Grigori Rasputin, the subject of one of his group’s most iconic songs and whom he had dressed as in some live performances.

Nuke subs are a bad example for looking at waste because they use higher enriched uranium. And that creates big casks of depleted uranium hexafluoride that we just have no idea what to do with other than sitting them in fields and hoping they don’t leak.

I don’t think it’s worth abandoning fusion research. I just think we’re much farther than popsci ever portrays and I have serious problems with the no waste framing.

It’s not particularly long but it’s very much in Superfund abandonment territory when you look at the economics of that “recycling” of low grade radioactive waste. I mean look at how much higher the cost per target is in this presentation alone for internal confinement is based on their kilowatt hours with recycling included. And that’s not including the reprocessing and production costs of targets or the fact that rapid target replacement will just frankly break as high energy neutrons and ablation screw up internals.

It’s not a quote, just a reality for non-existent blanket recycling technology and dealing with neutron energies that far exceed anything fission produces in slow neutron reactors and the large amounts of waste created from spallation and tritium handling.

without leaving behind hazardous waste

By volume blanket reprocessing and neutron activated vessel components create more hazardous waste than fission could dream of (not including the nightmare of on site fuel reprocessing for breeders that are similarly pie in the sky)

The last one isn’t one that would generally disqualify you, more to catch you lying. There doesn’t exist people who would put more money in a vending machine because it’s a stupid idea and vending machines don’t work that way.

Ethical answers to that range from the utilitarian give it to someone hungry to the deontological leave it since it’s not yours. But putting more money into a malfunctioning vending machine is chaotic stupid on the ethical charts.

Infrastructure like this is one of the things that shouldn’t be driven by a profit motive because the positive externalities greatly exceed the potential profit loss from overbuilding. But what can you do, capitalism.

I think it’s important to point out that these reactors are miniaturized high enriched uranium reactors for vessels. They don’t help improve nk’s actual weapons program but instead their second strike/delivery capability.

I don’t agree. The prices will rise across the board no matter where you site the memory or if it’s in a gaming computer or otherwise. Renting will always be more expensive than owning because competitors must recoup the capital cost of buying and make margin at the same time.

Read some history hoss. There were plenty of morons when child mortality was high.

Well yeah. When the things price point is driven by ram and not display it makes little sense anymore.

The General Committee of United Croats of Canada dedicated its contribution to Ante Pavelić, who led the Nazi puppet regime in occupied Croatia in the former Yugoslavia, where around 32,000 Jews, 25,000 Roma and 330,000 Serbs were murdered by the regime. The same organisation purchased a brick dedicated to Mile Budak, a high-ranking official in Croatia’s fascist Ustaše organisation, whom it identified simply as a poet.

Of course it was anti Yugoslavia Balkan bullshit. Chetniks(if you’re a Serb expat) and Ustaše(if you’re a croat expat) did nothing wrong if your ideology must delegitimize the idea of a multicultural Yugoslav state.

Submarine sandwich, grinder, hero, hoagie, wedge, spuckie.

What do you think truck stop bathrooms are for?

Did you look where you last used it for it?

I’d go for the gorgon’s sisters then, the Graeae. You can look upon them at least without dying, but understanding how creatures can share between them one tooth and one eye while being distinct beings is understanding something outside the cosmic order.

That’s kinda the late Roman myth where she was cursed. In the original Greek she was one of the many monsters spawned by ceto or the sea monster.

She ain’t ugly because her hair is snakes. Gorgons are the spawned granddaughters of chaos and she’s just the weakest. They’re lovecraftian horrors that turn you to stone precisely because you’re viewing what does not exist in the realm governed by the gods, the kosmos. The idea of beauty is outside of their very category. They’re ugly because they’re ontologically hostile to your concept of the world. You could only hope to view them though a bronze mirror darkly if you wanted to try because then you at least filter the true horror of what they are into a shadowy distorted form.

The hero’s party quit and now everybody expects me to kill the demon King.
