yeah at a certain point it becomes a trade-off between “no geopolitical dependence on uranium” and “no geopolitical dependence on something that is currently produced in china, but could be produced anywhere if we tried hard enough”

it’s a trade-off. the average generation curve depends on the inclination; each has its pros and cons

power is the best thing in the world to work in right now, it touches sooo many aspects of humanity and is changing so fast!

I don’t think everybody who makes a bad claim is a troll. A lot of people just are that stupid.

I would not call Zohran Mandani a socialist. I would call him a progressive rational centralist.

I agree with you. We shouldn’t present it as “left politics”. We should present it as “politics for the people”. That way, it makes it compatible with more people.

You wouldn’t believe how many americans have a deep fear of the word “left”. We should call it centrist instead, even if it is left.

Maybe, let’s use the phrase “socialism is to listen to the heart of the people, and the heart sits in the center of people, so it’s centralist politics” or something.

Probably the closest space any guy could get is AA or NA meetings.

what do these abbreviations stand for?

Would you mind giving the community a name where it can easily be found? Such as /c/mental-health-men or sth.

I used to like and look up to SpaceX for the interesting stuff that they build,

but nowadays i don’t care anymore. The company can fail for all i care. Musk spoiled it.

The tipping point, for me personally, was when Musk seriously threatened to slash public spending in February this year. It shows a clear disrespect to the people, and frankly, a sociopathic attitude.

Musk had everything, lots of money, lots of fame, lots of influence, but he threw it all away when he decided to threaten the wellbeing and lifelyhood of a lot of people just so that rich assholes can make an extra buck through tax cuts.

it also matters because the complexity of websites is a burden to end-user devices. especially on weak smartphones, as i’m using rn, the power usage of heavy websites sucks a lot, as it considerably slows down the device overall.

in my next life, i’m gonna be an insect critter hopping in the grassy meadows i guess

i guess Commonmark is the same thing as Markdown?

in that case, this is why i love the fediverse (especially lemmy) so much: comments and posts are simple markdown.

it comes quite close to the principle of distributing content in the way of markdown articles.

I like saying that society is a hot gas.

It is a mass of small particles that barely interact with one another, heated up by the heat of anger and hate, floating in a large space aimlessly.

My type of society would be a liquid, where particles are free to move but close to other particles.

the thing is, when you build rockets, and they actually work, and put people on mars, you can reasonably demand that people who demand exponential growth actually go to mars, because earth is already full. this way, you can get rid of the billionaires.

this but unironically. send all the billionaires to mars!

but is it significant harm, compared to other things?

i mean, every company harms the environment somewhat. streets pollute the environment through their presence. oil refineries leak huge amounts of methane into the air. factories often produce toxic chemicals as by-products.

rather the opposite i’d say … ready for take-off.

isn’t that Hitachi?

I suspect it’s because the hydrogen molecules are bigger than a single helium atom, which doesn’t form molecules (since it’s a noble gas).

So the hydrogen molecule only seeps through if it’s oriented right (since the hydrogen molecule is a stick-shaped molecule).

Yeah, if by “going over”, you mean accelerating in the horizontal direction, then you’re right.

Just to illustrate this: Consider we want to put 1 kg of mass into orbit.

First, we have to raise it by 100 km. That requires 1e6 J = 1 MJ of energy (formula is m*g*h).

Then, we have to accelerate it sideways, to a speed of 8 km/s. The energy to do that is 32 MJ (formula is ½*m*v²).

So, most of the energy (97%) is actually in the sideways movement.
