I'm spooked by the fact that you have no idea how the US enriches uranium, or the difference between a power pressurized water reactor and a fast "breeder" reactor (if you were thinking of plutonium) or a centrifuge.
The US enriches uranium using a gas-centrifuge. The US also no longer recycles spent nuclear fuel, but France does.
I just told my fairly tech-unsavvy partner the email analogy:
You sign up on Google, I sign up on yahoo, my bro-in-law runs his own from a server in his house. We can all email each other and the email looks mostly the same no matter who reads it, but yahoo isn't Google isn't my bro-in-law. Lemmy = email in general, yahoo = lemmy.ml, Google = lemmy.world, etc.
She immediately got it and has an account on some instance and has subscribed to a bunch of places.
You're not wrong, but it is a bit like bringing Hitler into the conversation.
The US has never had Hitler, feel better now? Can we talk about soda and lemonade now?
