  • this is a nonstarter for multiple reasons:

    gallium will only react with exposed, raw aluminum, these scooters and bikes have paint or plastic coatings, or an oxide layer on any exposed aluminum.

    gallium isn’t exactly cheap - ten grams on amazon is $40+ usd…

    gallium attacks on aluminum aren’t exactly fast either - and you need to concentrate the puddle in one spot to keep it working, with some light agitation to remove the slag that will develop. also, it’s a liquid, so keeping it in one place is hard

    while aluminum is a good choice for these devices, I also wonder how many are steel because the lime scooters in my area are heavy as fuuuuuck lol. and I’d worry about aluminum frames bending with the fat bastards I see riding 'em.









  • What academic sources have you read about the internal functions of the USSR?

    lol you don’t need a thesis to know that people having to lining up for basic essentials is broke for a superpower.

    fuck mate, even in the 80s you couldn’t just go to the store and buy sour cream - they had no plastics industry, so you’d have to bring your own container to a vendor you know that had received sour cream recently, and they’d measure it out into your container.

    Estimate go from 40-60 percent of the entire GDP being wasted on defense because you gotta keep those satellite stans under control.
