they did a whoopsie, lead 210 comes from uranium 238. every 220 years radioactivity drops 1000x which means that 200-300 year old lead is mostly fine. copper notably doesn’t have this problem, is dense and is refined to high degree, at scale. it’s good enough to shield most of relatively low energy radiation from that isotope (less than 50kev gammas). couple mm of copper should be plenty for many applications

different tool for a different purpose. water has a large heat of evaporation which is something that allows for more compact turbines

big advantage is that molten salt allows for energy storage for nighttime

it also happened with tramadol before (different plant)

Adding to that, logistics are such that direct impact will be felt strongest in places like India that rely heavily on Qatari LNG to make fertilizer, but many places have other sources of both gas and fertilizer. Americas, EU, Russia and China will get by because they have their own supply and will be only affected by price increase

without synthetic nitrogen fertilizer there’s only enough reactive nitrogen going around for something like 1-1.5B people. yea mate very sustainable to retvrn to traditional farming and starve 80% of the planet in the process

real. every prediction i got from computational chemists was wrong

that’s at least four days before kidnapping of maduro

op what else did you knew

dune (1965) was written 26 years before desert storm (1991) and before iran-iraq war (1980) or iranian revolution (1979) or six day war (1967) or black september (1970) or yom kippur war (1973) but just after baathists took power in both syria and iraq (1963) and some time after coup in iran (1953), suez crisis (1956) and nasser taking power in egypt (1952)

some context for the bottom row https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/12/16/exiled-russian-accused-of-spying-on-opposition-including-navalny-movement https://novayagazeta.eu/articles/2025/11/04/russian-pro-democracy-activist-detained-in-poland-admits-to-working-for-fsb-en-news

tldr openrussia didn’t learn that there’s no such thing as former fsb agent, and now there are consequences

no no no no it’s on by default so it’s opt-out, and switch for that isn’t even implemented yet

at least he didn’t say he “fell on it” and it was totally an accident

in this economy?

it can be bought in italy as a cleaning agent without going through entire process as for reagents purchase iirc

nah. loam is, for example, 40% sand, 20% clay, 40% silt and it’s close to middle of that polygon, on top of letter O

for example, draw a line from 50% sand point on edge to 50% clay point on edge, the first one is 50% sand 50% silt because that axis for sand is also 0% for clay, the second one is 50% sand 50% clay because it lies at the line that is 0% silt

if you have to tell people that you’re enlightened, you ain’t

also why have you picked vaccines in particular. maybe you wanted to express something else more clearly? there’s no money in vaccines to such degree that western pharma companies don’t want to research them, and bulk of (non-mRNA) vaccines are made in Serum Institute of India, they make this stuff for half of the world if not more. this thing is cheeaap, and because it’s a preventive one and done you can take it on your own terms, you’re not under time pressure to get it so you can shop around to get it cheaply. you can’t nickel and dime people on vaccines

now if you do want to nickel and dime a patient, you’d need something that they’re gonna need forever and jack up prices or just keep them high from day one, like with antiretrovirals or what purdue pharma did or like with daraprim. and then there’s entirely another very american problem of insurance leech layer. taking a very charitable look at it maybe you want to say a thing about availability of american healthcare in general, less charitably, and more likely, you sound like a libertarian antivaxxer

it gives enlightened centrist vibe, maybe that’s why

I meant weaker per kg of body weight, not in absolute terms

Square-cube law means that as they get bigger they need to hunt less (lower rate of heat loss per kg of birb) and get less powerful compared to their size
