CANDU-like or RBMK-like design could work for this purpose, but i have doubts about VVERs that they have

fern? germ factories

there were a few stupidly close calls in soviet biological weapons program

2 means “just” removing earth’s magnetic field, van allen belts don’t shield from anything, these are trapped solar wind

5 could have side effect of disturbing ozone layer, on top of, yknow, just suffocating every animal

7 is not even wrong

10 sounds like CIA’s final plan for assassinating Castro: just let him die of old age

that’d be just as stupid as calling for airstrikes on telegram or discord. i mean, russians do it, but it’s still stupid

there is no way that would make it look like nukes are going to ukraine and not to russia, so this will trigger launch of russian nukes. congratulations??

putin specifically ran on explicitly anticommunist platform (the first time he was elected anyway)

did you just blank out all the rabid mccarthyism and thatcherism

What took them so fucking long?

for now we can dazzle the most probable adversary with invoices

Go to the content you’ve banned them for, then in options instead of Ban there’s Unban. You can find it in modlog

If it’s not there, you can always ask instance admins to do that

that’s a lot of shit takes for 10d old account

eight years ago war looked very different

please not seals, pick any other sof unit

seals will get book deal before even they’re done

this is already second time this happens

Electoral college is fucking weird

That you disallow prisoners to vote, but a felon can run as a candidate

That you end up in situation where there are hours long lines and you don’t have one station per, say, 1000 people at most

Registering to vote is weird, but that is i understand mostly a consequence of not having countrywide ID standard. In my country you’re automatically registered where you live, and IDs are free of charge and mandatory to have (not driving license or passport. there are fees for these)

Election isn’t on weekend, there’s zero reason why it couldn’t be or it could be made national holiday. There was even free public transit for election day in my city, but that one was paid by the city

That some of people (republicans) seem to be into politics in the same way ultras seem to be into football, it’s still fucked up but i’ve seen it in other places so it’s not that weird by now

this is less of a problem when you don’t use it for energy, but instead as a feedstock like in synthesis of ammonia or steelmaking. you can make ammonia in many places, but it’s not the case for steel

you’re probably talking about direct reduced iron and it’s really a problem that can be dealt with easily, just chuck a piece of coke when it’s molten for the second time in electric arc furnace (and maybe electrodes introduce enough carbon). substituting coke with hydrogen works also on “ingredient step” if you mean by that fuel needed to reduce iron ore to iron

maybe there’s a way to make electrowinning iron economical, and it’d be pretty green too, but i don’t know if it is workable

e: you can also avoid need for met coal if you use methane or syngas for direct reduced iron process

no we can’t make hydrogen everywhere, there will be regions with large excess of renewable energy compared to population. these places could export hydrogen. you also don’t need a lot of transport if crude is extracted near place where it’s used, like for example heavy crude from alberta

coal can be substituted to some degree with processes like direct reduction. hydrogen works but syngas from biomass or trash also works
