That’s sad. He’s not wrong about many things but his brain’s pattern association has gone off kilter.

Goddamnit kbin. Now we’ve got a thumbnail of some Linux nerd talking about GIMP going with the slaughter of Palestinians.
Being unjustly confined in a prison is still a direct contributing cause to a stroke or pulmonary embolism. There’s a reason they still make folks in solitary in the US do “yard time.”
What is? That he did it for the money? If it was sympathy for the Ukrainian cause, why did he reject Ukrainian protection and citizenship and go to Spain?
This dude did it for the money and made the incredibly poor choice of leaving Ukraine to spend that money in Spain while trying to get his Russian ex wife to come. Deserting is honorable in this war, but I doubt many will care about this guy.
Will Spain care I wonder?

Here comes the slam from south of Siam!
This would’ve been the third consecutive coup, btw. The current leader was a captain who couped the last leader who couped the civilian government. Ecowas suspended them due to this.
It’s not a lot of it and isolating it is more trouble than it’s worth. It’s easier to just create a lithium channel that creates it when it’s neutron activated. That or isolating it from a heavy water reactor, since that produces a whole lot more.
Tritium isn’t scarce, in that we really can create it pretty easily. Lithium-6 is available to do so if needed. (https://isotope.com/en-us/lithium-6-metal-li-95-pct-llm–827–pk). It’s jut not economical to produce for most purposes.
Edit: Also, it’s not tritium in the regolith but He3, which is theorized as an aneutronic (thus much cleaner and not creating a bunch of neutron activation waste like tritium fusion would create) fusion fuel but nobody’s really achieved fusion with it. Tritium would’ve decayed if it was in the regolith.
When you let tritium decay, it creates He3.
Molten Salt reactors are great at recycling spent uranium and don’t really cause pollution. If anything they reduce pollution because they create less nuclear garbage.
If it was that big of a problem folks would be doing PUREX reprocessing with all nuclear fuel. Not a clean process, but reduces the overall mass problem you have with spent fuel rods. No matter what you do, you just can’t burn off the fission products that last forever and ever. You can put them in a container the size of a coffee can that still emits a similar amount of radiation as a whole rod if you want, but I’m not sure I see the utility. They just take those and vitrify them to make them bigger to take advantage of the inverse square law and make them safer to handle.
As long as uranium stays cheap, neither reprocessing, breeders, or reactors that eat the plutonium they produce really makes sense. You still need a similar site to store the waste regardless. As it stands I don’t think we’ll see uranium being a significant part of running a reactor in the foreseeable future. (As long as you’re not a nuclear weapons state that doesn’t have a robust fuel enrichment program, like India).
I wonder what they’ll make the coolant loops out of: steel glows at 900 deg Freedom
That’s always been the problem with the reactors. High heat, corrosion resistant, and resistant to neutron spallation is a very very tall order.
If you can work it properly, molten salt reactors are MUCH safer and more efficient, because the waste heat from fission products cannot cause a problem with something cooled through convection and conduction of a molten salt. You can’t really have a destructive meltdown when the coolant doesn’t care if the fuel melts. The problem is, most previous attempts ended up with the reactor catching on fire. Not a dangerous fire, exactly, but generally not the outcome you’re looking for.
On the waste front, neutron activation of water produces tritium at worst, which you dispose of by putting it into a bigger body of water. Neutron activation of the molten salt coolant can be more difficult to dispose of, but it’s not exactly a major problem.
Pope isn’t acting in an “infalliable” role with this statement, unfortunately.
I just like doublets, I think it gives some interesting perspective. Those pair with fever and thus fervor as well. Different levels of burning/boiling.
Considering the quality of the kremlin’s war machine, fermenting seems pretty accurate. Both are same PIE root btw, meaning to heat up.
“North bad, South good”
You should know very well that it’s not that simple with any regime the US props up. South Korea has been getting better, but it has a nasty history. Mass murders, disappearances, it’s not pleasant. It’s not like the revolts they were having in support of the North were fake. I think it took them until the 1990s to have a government that wasn’t a military dictatorship with reeducation concentration camps.
At this point I believe most Okinawa separatists mostly have an issue with the US military.
The situation with the Ryukyu Islands is so strange. American, Chinese, and Japanese imperialism all rolled into one.
In his case he self identifies so much with the plot of the show that he’s convinced it’s actually nefarious brainwashing.
