They don’t necessarily require a starter explosive, certain types do of course. It’s more about overcoming the initial energy required, for example the arc from an electric arc lighter could probably overcome that requirement in a lot of scenarios.

Idk how true that is, it’ll be highly dependent on what you’re trying to dissolve.
This sounds to me more like the advice I’ve heard for using isopropyl for sterilizing equipment and surfaces, its more to do with how quickly the pure stuff evaporates. Evaporate too quickly and it doesn’t sterilize, whereas 70% is best of both worlds.
I believe Australia has mandatory voting and achieves a ~95% participation of registered voters basically every election, though they do enforce it with either a day in court or a fine.
I do wonder if you fined people, or wasted a day of theirs with court, whether it would have an impact in Greece after a couple of elections?
The linked app Stremio will work on android, you just download the apk directly as it’s not on available on Fdroid, the add-on will work with android and VPNs work on android either natively or via there own app, depends on who your VPN provider is.
I’d suggest using a VPN, if you’re in a first works country, basically torrenting can be recorded by your ISP/movie studios etc, whereas streaming typically won’t be
Most VPNs typically will have a desktop app (if using windows) that you can use to make sure it’s on and functional etc (and can even force apps to not be able to torrent when its turned off)
If you live in a 3rd world country don’t worry about the VPN
Beyond that, what you want is in terms of simplicity is something like Stremio with the torrentio add-on installed, this will allow Stremio to find torrents for whatever you want to watch, you can select quality, language, etc with it. It’ll work for film and TV.
Install Stremio and then install Torrentio
You can download the apk from the website below: Apk here: https://www.stremio.com/downloads Add-on for Stremio here: https://torrentio.strem.fun/
They’re explicitly not sending out review codes until launch suggesting that it’s likely a bad game, but also means they’re likely just going to try and make their money with unrefundable day 1 sales on Playstation/Xbox store
To freak us out when we’re a little bit too high…
Whilst I’ve got no particular suggestions for it, I’d suggest taking a look at humble bundle, they do games bundles (and other book/asset bundles) at very good prices, normally focusing on a genre/publishes/studio/franchise. This is how a lot of people get going with steam and start to build a library of games, the bundles are often cheaper than the listed price of a single game.
Very true, I don’t disagree there
I have no disagreement with your assertion, aside from the neglected aspect of in terms of energy in Vs energy out; the research is likely to help inform nuclear weapons design, yet if they are able to achieve more energy out than in (3mj out Vs 2mj in (though of course they required 300mj to run the lasers to produce this reaction)) then they are providing important data that may help inform different future designs of power generating fusion reactors, this is something that current other designs don’t appear to have achieved afaik.
I doubt they will ever really use this style as a functional form of power generation, but if what they learn from the research allows eventually for a longer functioning fusion reaction that has an overall positive energy output, then it may be rather valuable.
Thermonuclear bombs are a mixture of fission AND fusion, the amount of energy required to achieve fusion requires fission to provide said energy.
Lasers igniting fusion is a bit of a more of a stretch to create a weapon from (the lasers require 300 mega joules of energy which in turn is 2mj of energy into the reaction and 3mj energy out); it may provide context and more information for fusion as a whole but that information is relevant to both weapons and energy research, not one or the other.
Researching this doesn’t prevent renewables being researched or rolled out? I think the nuclear scientists developing this might be better researching this as opposed to researching fission reactors or researching renewables as this is likely their area of expertise.
Fusion is a long shot but if it was achieved it would be world changing (hopefully for the better)
Outta curiosity, how is fusion viable for bomb research? (Ignoring the fact that the world’s current nuclear arsenal is already incredibly powerful, and that 100mega ton bombs have been designed and 50Mton bombs have been tested)
Edit: thank you to all for providing additional context, I see your point regarding more research is valuable for both weapons and energy research, though to say definitively that it is used for weapons research is neither here nor there.
I find it interesting how it appeared clear in 2016 US election that Reddit for example was being a target of Russian interference, (alongside other places like Facebook and Britain during Brexit), even with Russia in a weakened state China appears to have seen what was being done as valuable and taken up the task
The playbook always seems to be to stoke wedge issues, including funding groups on both sides of the political isle; funding the NRA and BLM seems to be two of the most common examples. The reality being that the amount of disruption and destabilisation that is achieved, it must be that these governments must see it as good value for their money.
I read through the link, both the details on the air forces vehicle plans and the ‘encounter’ later.
This one is odd but I do still wonder what the feasible explanations of this may be.
The smell of sulphur can be cause by many things, including burning vulcanised rubber or geological activety. The radiation might be explainable, but I have no indication of what the readings were (background and of the area/objects/burns), which makes it more hard to make any suggestions. Though his injuries did immediately make me think radiation exposure…
Lastly, the molten metal recovered from the site.
What is the composition of the metal? And if they say they pried it from a crack in the rock, the shape that it has taken is too perfect… The angle on each bend is near identical, and the length of each straight is once again identical (something screams not pulled from a natural crack in rock to me).
Nothing concrete can be explained by this, but it is intriguing…
But storage without inpacting available energy requires an excess, and the current shortfall of renewables is that there isn’t enough energy produced for a significant excess (same goes for nuclear). Either way I was addressing the literal aspect of energy generation being 24/7 with nuclear.
Not to mention I could see viable uses for nuclear still, especially in processes that are effectively 24/7 hot water production via heat exchangers for providing heating to literal cities, energy production for large arc furnaces.
And don’t mistake my view of nuclear as not seeing the benefits of renewable, my father lived on a boat where the heating and appliances were all run via solar panels and forklift batteries for more than 10 years of his life.
I mean you can vary it pretty significantly depending on the reactor type, but even if you couldn’t you can still put the energy to work in alternative ways, such as pumping water up into reservoirs/damns to generate energy at other points, or using the excess energy to split water. There are many ways to use excess energy.
Did you read the description of the book the guy linked?
This is an objective biographical study of Crowley written by someone who lived and worked intimately with him. Dr. Regardie observed “The Great Beast” at close quarters while serving as his personal secretary. The Eye in the Triangle was written many years later, after long contemplation. Regardie combines the psychological insight afforded by his professional training as a Reichian analyst with his grasp of Crowley’s magical personality.
It’s likely that the passage wasn’t written by Crowley himself, so a source like the one linked may be useful.
Also Libgen if you’d rather download the book and ctrl+f the passage you’re looking for
They can work, though I’m always reluctant to suggest using them, unless you have one that you can spare without worry of ruining the oven (offgassing from components/PCB/flux), the other problem is ovens can be a lot more variable in temperature than you’d think, and in this scenario where it may even be the chips showing their age, subjecting them to very high temperatures isn’t recommended.
Honestly when I bought a small £20 heatgun (smaller than the type you’d use to strip paint), I was kicking myself for not having bought one sooner, they make surface mounted components an absolute breeze Vs using a soldering iron.
The one exception for using ovens is if you’re having to do an intricate board with hundreds of components, then I’d suggest buying a small/medium toaster over, and an oven thermometer for more accurate readings.
Are you meaning because people are excited about “fusion” being a possible future energy source, whereas when they here “nuclear” their minds immediately go to weapons and fission accidents and pollution?
