At 2k feet you’re going to need some kind of equipment to find them.

When things go really wrong they go really really wrong, but that doesn’t change the statistical risk. Radiation is viscerally scary because you can’t see it, but you’re way more likely to get hit by a bus or die in a cloud of anhydrous ammonia or something similarly nasty.

Plus things have only gone really wrong once, and that’s Chernobyl. Fukushima Daiichi got hit by an earthquake, and then a tsunami, and lost auxiliary power. The plant’s containment held. Estimates for cancer rates were something like 100 additional cases globally. Nobody got acute radiation poisoning, nobody got sick. The panic killed more people than the disaster. Which is kind of a microcosm of our broader relationship to nuclear power: the fear of what could go wrong caused us to stick with technologies that we know kill people. The Keystone coal power plant kills more people than the Fukushima disaster did, and that’s for normal operation of the plant after they installed scrubbers

anyway if you’re still reading I love your work keep it up

Meh, it’s cartoon logic. I mean maybe the joke would have been improved for you and I if it was a Union Carbide plant but let’s be real the Bhopal disaster doesn’t get nearly as much attention as it deserves because nobody knows what the fuck methyl isocyanate is.

Youre gonna love Apollo 14

If its not made of Chêne de Normandie its not a guillotine, it’s just a sparkling sliceyboi.

Death would be too easy. Take away his wealth, make him get a real job.

Opensecrets.org has been around for a while. FEC filings are already pretty damning and yet power remains secure. We know who’s paying them, but it’s not illegal and the electorate doesn’t respond to that information. Even if there were a big list of all the dark money it seems like it wouldn’t do much. At least the data is public. Tell your friends.

Edit: and the hacker collective thing is mostly aesthetic. “Anonymous” is even less of a group than antifa.

I hate it when this happens!

Hahahahahaha FUCK YOU ORACLE!

sorry, needed to get that out of my system

Bad Lieutenant II. If you dont like it we can still be friends, but the harder you judge me for liking it the funnier it gets.

i will never understand why people find it so difficult to prepare and eat avocado.

1. Slice and twist
2. Whack the pit and twist
3. Spoon

And yet people struggle. Many go to the hospital. Why? Why is this so hard?

That’s an easy 100M GP right there

yes, and? Your desire to have a big hecking floofy pupper who is just soooo happy and needs to share with everyone at 5 in the morning does not override my reasonable expectation of being able to sleep during quiet hours.

i wonder why she does not have basic skills

that would drive up the price of ram in China too, which would likely make the CCP quite cross with them. Electronics are a huge export and the Chinese government has to worry about entire cities going offline or having to pivot their entire industrial sectors if the shortage lasts too long.

DRAM is a global commodity. Kind of like how Iran selling oil to China affects the price of WTI crude.

i think. I’m not a fuckin economist I just like to sound smart

The question itself is solid, I’ll give drunk me that, but the vagueposting attached to it does not feel good to read the day after lmfao. I participate in capitalism, is all I can come up with. But we all participate in capitalism, idk what’s embarrassing about that

I have no idea what I was asking, but it’s probably a sign to take a break from substances for a while lmao. This post is mildly embarrassing, but I’ll leave it up because I hate when people nuke their posts.

He’s stupid, but in this instance I think he’s just bullshitting for spacex’s sake. Even he is capable of putting together the fact that the costs required to build (not to mention service) an orbital data center far outweigh the costs of swapping out the genset for the same exact solar panels you would have otherwise put on the rocket. Maybe you need more panels to make up for atmospheric transmission and the day/night cycle but he (or let’s be real, grok) has ready access to the cost of a single starship launch and a calculator.

If and only if someone is insane enough to develop off-planet manufacturing with the bulk of the raw materials originating from somewhere in deep space, e.g. asteroid mining, putting data centers in space might be useful for problems that demand intensive compute and can work with extreme latency.

Then again that’s like saying inventing the airplane would have been a good strategy for Neanderthals to find better firewood.
