  • Cryptocurrencies aren't used for anything other than financial speculation

    Typical anti-blockchain crypto bashing.

    Cryptocurrencies have plenty of uses besides speculation. For example, buying drugs and a plethora of scams.

  • Should Germany aquire nuclear weapons?

  • You need a particular kind of nuclear reactor to create the enriched uranium

    *plutonium. Enriched uranium comes from taking natural uranium and enriching the content of a specific isotope (235U), typically with centrifuges, gaseous diffusion and/or magnetic separation in a synchrotron. The enriched uranium can be used in a weapon, or it can be used as fuel for a nuclear reactor to make 239Pu from 238U.

  • Closing vim is like landing a plane: anytime you can walk away unscathed it’s a success.

  • Or he could try literally any other test. There’s a vast chasm between pricking your finger and slamming your crotch into a table saw. This guy chose maximum escalation.

  • Trump accused of risking financial corruption as transition donors kept secret

    Jump

  • “Masked man with a gun ordering the teller to put the money in the bag faces criticism for risking a bank robbery.”

  • There’s a follow up meta study from 2020.:

    In conclusion, based on the totality of currently available scientific evidence, the present review does not support the presumption that fluoride should be assessed as a human developmental neurotoxicant at the current exposure levels in Europe.

  • Trump Picks Gas Executive as Energy Secretary | Chris Wright is a TV-ready evangelist for fossil fuels who lacks government experience.

    Jump

  • Hey, he had a degree in “meats” from Texas A&M. That’s basically an alternative prerequisite for nuclear stockpile maintenance.

    Supposedly when he was picked for energy secretary he thought the position would be “symbolic coal baron”. He eventually found out about the nukes part, and to his credit he apparently realized the significance.

  • I certainly can’t think of a more relevant background than “gas executive who goes on Fox News a lot” for leading the organization responsible for the nations nuclear arsenal.

  • Why do People Choose BlueSky Over Mastodon?

    Jump

  • Same here, which is why my Bluesky feed is much better. Everyone wants to be where everyone else is (that isn’t X), and it seems like that’s Bluesky.

  • Why do People Choose BlueSky Over Mastodon?

    Jump

  • I’m gonna echo what others have said here. The mastodon signup process is too complex, and searching for instructions just leads to “what is the fediverse and/or activitypub” explainers.

    I created a mastodon account a few years ago and it was my first introduction to the fediverse. It was frustrating and I only persevered because I REALLY wanted to replace twitter.

    Once I got it set up, I realized that no one who I followed on twitter was there. My feed is currently like 2 people, plus a bunch of dead accounts from people who dipped their toe in but didn’t stay.

    Joining Bluesky was simple, and there were already a bunch of accounts I wanted to follow. The recent influx has increased that, and it feels a lot like old school twitter without the nazis.

    People originally joined twitter (and stuck with it for so long) because that’s where everyone else is. Mastadon is too clunky join and use, so people aren’t.

  • Will Trump's hush money conviction stand? A judge will rule on the president-elect's immunity claim

    Jump

  • “It’s a well established fact that being president changes a man. Therefore the Trump who committed the crime is a different person from the Trump who was convicted. The conviction cannot stand.”

  • Republican Party has 'homoerotic fascination' with Vladimir Putin: Ex-UK PM

  • FBI investigates death of Black man found hanging in Alabama

  • Oh don’t worry, the FBI will just be ordered to stop investigating hate crimes. Problem solved!
