    I’ve got privit, onion weed, rust weed and bamboo all fighting it out in gladiatoral combat

    And winners reward will be acid ans fire followed by a salting of the earth after which the soil will be evacuated to the clay level before it is dumped in my neighbours yard (where all of these fuckers came from










  • Molten salt for heat transfer and thermal storage is a pretty mature technology that goes way back before we started using it in concentrated solar systems.

    Isn’t the core problem with anything that uses molten salt is that when the heat sauce source (thanks autocorrect, really, the context in that sentence means you should suggest “sauce”?) fails you just end up with a huge lump of solid salts that clog every part of your system?

    The Russian Alfa class had a similar problem due their use of lead-bismuth heated into a liquid.

    When they lost power for whatever they’d essentially end up being written off as reheating them was incredibly difficult and very tricky.











  • I’m not a weapons expert, but all the bombs they’ve dropped so far in Palestine and the region could add up to a few nuclear bombs, no?

    No where near even a few kiloton.

    But you don’t need nukes when you’re dropping a few kilos of He on a target given to you by Palantir’s kill chainm-. The precision is crazy.

    System detects a Palestinians saying a bunch of stuff these neo-fascists think is bad. Meta data is scrapped from the telco systems to map the targets location via latitude and longitude. A Hermes drone orbiting the city gets those coordinates and automatically fires a Spike missile at the target.

    Victim is murdered and the Israeli’s claim in a bullshit press release that they killed another terrorist.

    Netanyahu has gone amok


  • I read a time travelling book (very old and dusty, relatively short, I think it’s from the 70s) where the protagonists discovers over time that he is his own father/mother. He travels in time so often that there are zillions of him at different ages in each time.

    He just ends up partying with himself because he can be just himself. And with all the drugs and partying one thing leads to another. Also because he travels so damn much somehow that leads to a female version of himself.

    That Ethan Hawk film Predestination is a less fucked up, similar version of the story.
