  • yeah lol ez just 3dprint polypropylene polymerization reactor. what the fuck is hastelloy?

  • Following Iran's recent Nuclear threat, new U.S. assessment claims American strikes destroyed only one of three Iranian nuclear sites
  • nukes, that was just paper thin disguise

    couple kg went for fuel fabrication for teheran research reactor, but that's couple tens kg out of low tons

  • They could just buy enriched uranium directly

    they did buy enriched uranium for their only nuclear power reactors in bushehr npp from russians, and didn't use their own enrichment facilities to make fuel for it

  • trump and netanyahu have their sons (?) that do that job for them (on twitter mostly ig)

  • reverse dust specks: how many LWers would we need to permanently deprive of access to internet to see rationalist discourse dying out?

  • Russian Federation Urged To Urgently Raise Taxes To Save The Budget
  • well, i see a large category of infrastructure problems (that will be 99% civilian use anyway - and not only transport, also telecomms, you can even put healthcare training in there) that is solvable by pouring money at them, and now it's politically convenient to let it rip even among pro-austerity neoliberals. if you want an example of what can this do, look at eastern eu countries and how they changed after funding went in

  • Russian Federation Urged To Urgently Raise Taxes To Save The Budget
  • which ones? germany has government spending at 48% of gdp https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_government_spending_as_percentage_of_GDP so 5% of gdp for defense will be closer to 1/10 of all government spending

    going by 2024 numbers, russians putting third of government spending to defence would be closer to 13% gdp

  • Russian Federation Urged To Urgently Raise Taxes To Save The Budget
  • It all depends on how it all will get managed, but there are already longer term infrastructure projects that now got some funding and now also it counts under 5% NATO target. I think that more resources will go towards rail infrastructure, bridges are just more illustrative, but still for a couple of these village 7 ton level bridge there will be one 30 ton bridge in town nearby that will get overhauled

  • Russian Federation Urged To Urgently Raise Taxes To Save The Budget
  • in eastern nato countries there is logistical problem because army suddenly switched from 40 ton tanks to 70 ton tanks, for example, and old bridges or rail can't support them. this is just one of many small examples that add to that problem, and of course 99% of the time the stronger bridge will be used by civilians

  • Do you rule?
  • i feel like if it's not something thst everyone got this would cause new kind of racism

  • Reddit has become worse and worse in the last couple of years.
  • It's been a thing for years, way before api shitshow

  • Microwave Intensifies
  • helical antennas work fine too and look goofy as hell

  • Microwave Intensifies
  • i've used the same (800ml can) and this one works well. cookie tin is 15cm dia 8cm tall and it works, but size can vary a bit. you can copy or scale slightly designs of 13cm band antennas

  • Microwave Intensifies
  • wait i thought for some reason that pringles can sized waveguide would have cutoff frequency above 2.4ghz. nevermind, there's something better because bigger aperture can get you more directivity like this https://lea.hamradio.si/~s53mv/wumca/cup.html i made two out of cookie tins and it works over 500m at least

  • Microwave Intensifies
  • pringles can is too small for 2.4ghz cantenna, it's near cutoff frequency but just barely, you need 10cm-ish diameter can or shorter 16cm-ish can

  • if it's opt-out, it also keeps use of the shitty ai dubbing high thus making it an artficial use case. it's like with gemini counting every google search as single use of it
