they don’t require it, but for shock resistance and compactness, The US and UK use 93-97% enrichment. Russian and Indian military vessels use 40-50%, Chinese and French military vessels use <10%. Russian nuclear icebreakers and floating power plants use 20-40%.
we have an ideology which is incompatible with and hostile to liberalism, and their socialization on the internet has left them unable to deal with that fact in a healthy way. they usually love dunking on ideological opponents, often by pretending to have conversations with news headlines in an aloof and dismissive tone. (you’ll notice Reddit has a surprisingly frequent number of front page stories where the headline simply a quote or declaration from an adversary like Putin, usually abridged or summarized in such a way to suggest weakness, hypocrisy, or frustration). unfortunately, they’re out of their depth when it comes beyond flat earthers, creationists, and anti-vax. On reddit, they manage to fill the gap with moderation power and downvotes. here, they just seethe. it’s hard to believe, but these people have such poor coping skills, I literally see them routinely invent quotes that don’t exist in the source or imagine historical events on the spot which they will then assert happened without investigation.
he is hacking the suspension bridge effect.
How was Iran able to plausibly claim, and the IAEA sort of went along with, that they were building a nuclear energy industry and not a weapon program when they were enriching uranium to 60% and most civil reactors are less than 5% and reactors like CANDU can go as low as .7%?
93% of the comments in thread is dunking in the random lib’s comment chain.
why does New York have ranked choice voting for the primary but not the actual election?
What country should Americans who violate their visas in other countries be deported to?
It’s likely Iran will now have months or years to reinforce their defense.
I don’t know how they should address their internal security problems. Stricter movement controls, firewalls, surveillance, social welfare, affirmative action, federalization, seems like a lot to accomplish in a short time
For air defenses, they’ll likely need to look to China since Russia is occupied with Ukranian drones. For China, wouldn’t the value of being able to test their equipment (Their personnel as well if they’re discreet) to gain experience at running an air defense network against western 5th gen planes be extremely valuable, even more than the cost of the batteries they send? US retaliation would be sending more Patriots and PrSM to Taiwan?
Did you think something had happened? Rookie mistake, nothing ever does.
I don’t have any direct experience, but the CHUWI CoreBook X 14 gets pretty good reviews, and they make even cheaper laptops than that with similar memory and processor, but cheaper chassis and 16:9 screens.
“Diary of a madman” is a short story from 1918 by Chinese author Lu Xun. It describes a man who falls ill and begins to read Confucian texts obsessively until, to his horror, he can see the words “Eat People” written between the lines. It’s a timeless classic about the horror that comes from awakening to an unjust culture, realizing how all the pillars of your society have licensed it, and even your friends and neighbors are complicit in supporting that which everyone knows to be self-evidently wrong (Cannibalism, which the publisher notes reveal is not entirely a delusional hallucination or a metaphor, but an actual social ill taking place then)
The narrator continues to unravel as he next realizes his own complicity within soceity, but as foretold in the prologue, ends optimistically, with him resolving to struggle to build a fair soceity for future generations and finally recovering from his illness and leaving his village to serve as an official.
I bet you look ugly, and if we listen to you, we’ll need to listen to even uglier people down the road.
Slava Wan Sui [I don’t know what they say in Israel]
Cuba had operational nukes on their soil, but they were still forced to remove them following confrontation with the US, so it’s less of a guarantee than some think.
None the less, I think Russia could’ve done a swap where North Korea provides nukes to Iran, and Russia provides an equal number of SL/ICBMs to Korea.
“No! the art drawn to look as gross as possible where trump is r*ping a woman is important political art that you MUST see without CWs”
yes, it’s staggering how he was able to condense it down to a mere 87 minutes, but remember this was released only 4.5 months after October 7th, so he had less ground he needed to cover.
she wants to frame it as a minefield topic that her audience would be overly critical of and exaggerate her positions. But lots of creators have made videos already. Shaun, for example, made a perfectly succinct video that garnered no controversy. the simplest question is what takes would she be compelled to include in her video that Shaun did not?
Well, No controversy from his community. the contrapoints subreddit on the other handhad some things to say
She’s actually creating bad takes as an ultratask, so she can create an infinite number takes in a finite duration.
JK Rowling thinking of a name for the Imperialist’s bomber base: Whiteman AFB
yeah, is there some law about energy drinks there? I also tried dongpeng, and it tasted like cough syrup, it even came with a plastic dosing cup on the lid like Nyquil bottles have.
