Economies require population growth
No it does not.
The best thing is a stable population, then you have not to plan ahead into the unknown.
For what anyone need population growth? Two where should that lead when the planet is full?
Clippy has your back! "It looks like you're trying to write a letter! Would you like some help with that?"
Yeah, the new AI clippy is around the corner, haha!!
A wrong estimation is not a lie.
It is a wrong estimation.
The 50:50 lethal dose is a few milligram per kg body weight.
As you are around 120kg, your dose with a 50% chance to die is roughly 240mg
All those things are dangerous if inhaled or digested. Not only because of its radioactivity, but the fact that basically everything is a heavy metal
I assumed our algobraic idiot keeps it in a save box
The danger of plutonium is leukemia. It accumulates in bone marrow. The 50/50 lethal dose is in a milligram range per kg body weight.
So, assuming your weight is in the 60kg range, the deadly dose is in the 200mg range. That is not "that low", but still a very low amount. Assuming you get 0.5 mg a day, you get that dose in 400 days
Lets check our famous voyager probes, how much plutonium they had
Ah, look here: https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fen.wikipedia.org%2Fwiki%2F... Voyager has an RTG with Pu(238)O2 with 4.5kg fuel
And that atomic idiot would love to have one under his bed to keep him warm (he posted such nonsense a few years ago)
Then he seems not to know: plenty of decays follow up in a secondary decay of the decay products. Sometimes just a few spit seconds later. And then stupid claims: oh, this is just alpha
And then the idiotic idea that beta radiation does not penetrate the skin. Who the fuck cares? It is in a cask. The cask is shielding. The Bata radiation produces X-Ray and gamma radiation via bremsstrahlung.
Everything radioactive is so fucking harmless, but a little bit of UV-C and UV-B causes skin cancer
He learned some bullshit from a school boy magazine when he was 12
Pu238 is a niche isotope
Then again: Pu238 does not come alone. In RTGs as mentioned above, it is PuO2
Good luck atomicalgebra
Anyway, not important. I just wonder how one can stay utterly stupid all his life.
No idea how that can escape an "investor".
Scale etc. is a conglomerate of Bitcoin/stable coin scam companies.
One must be pretty daft to "invest" something into them.

And half a dozen more, which I do not recall from memory.
Good luck with them.
Germany did not fail.
It reduced its carbon footprint by roughly 50%.
Stupid idiot.
They deep decarbonized their grid decades ago with nuclear.
No they did not. They were low carbon already since decades. Stupid idiot.
And the nukes were/are in no way cheaper than Germanies renewables. How farking daft are you?
Used fuel (aka nuclear waste from a nuclear power plant) has never killed a single human being.
A) fuel is not waste.
B) waste is waste, and that is what happens to be created when fuel is used up, aka burned
C) plenty of workers died by misusing waste - especially in Japan in the 1980s
I have no problem with people being pro nuclear, and I actually have no problem with "SAFE NUCLEAR PLANTS" - however the German plants for example: were not safe.
And Germany has a waste problem, we have no idea what to do with it.
And I have a problem with idiots like you: who know nothing about nuclear energy.
Anything with a half life in the thousands of years is not dangerous enough to harm a human being.
That is simply nonsense. A 10g pellet in a box is perhaps harmless, as long as it stays in the box.
Make it a 2kg ball
And that underlies the reality of WYSIWYG, that there are limits to what any word processor can actually do to guarantee formatting and fixed placement. It's why Tex/LaTeX and PDF were invented to begin with, and why there's really a point at which trying to force any WYSIWYG word processor to behave that way is going to lead to fragile misbehaving documents that fall apart. As a very good example, the use of tables and frames in documents (both docx and odt) to guarantee the positioning of various elements creates can quickly lead to documents so fragile that any attempt to update styles causes havoc.
I'm working my way through some biology and general science courses right now in my spare time, and I'm seriously looking at re-familiarizing myself with LaTeX to produce reports and papers, because the amount of work I've had to do to get diagrams and images to stay put, and to break my cardinal rule relying solely on styles for formatting makes me think the kind of work I'm doing is much more in typesetting than in word processing.
My ex GF did not know how to save a file.
She quits word/excel etc. to wait for the "do you want to safe" dialog.
Even telling her to use ctrl-s from time to time was beyond her grasp.
It does not work "just fine".
It works and that's it. It is the same mess as office, just without ribbons.
Everything that was straight forward in a "advanced text editor", oh we call it "Word Processor" 30 years ago, is now a complete incomprehensible mess. It requires a training to be able to write document that goes beyond a letter. Ridiculous.
It has been a while since I've used Word, but I remember it was really good at propagating tiny changes through a document that made it important that you keep an extra copy around because some seemed to have no easy way back to what you wanted.
This "feature" actually saved me quite a bit of work at a job I had a few years back. The documentation people were so afraid that anyone who was not a full-time Word expert would irrecoverably screw up the corporate branding (IOW, formatting) of their docs, they didn't want developers to directly edit them. So I was often able to get away with emailing a quick text summary to them, and they had to do all the fidgety proof reading, formatting, etc.
I don't know how they managed to get their jobs done, given that they had no real source control and mainly juggled each update amongst themselves over email and random impoossible-to-find folders on Sharepoint.
Since all the docs had the same basic layout and they were mainly trying to make them look consistent with whatever corporate branding was being promulgated that week, it could easily have been done by writing them in "markdown" and having a script that converted them directly to PDF. Or maybe even learn LaTeX. Then the docs could all be maintained and diffed in github like all the other project artifacts. I didn't even bring that up because I knew that their heads would explode.
Selecting office software so that you aren't held digitally hostage to a government that is, say, threatening to annex a significant proportion of your territory, is both eminently defensible for operational, security AND political reasons.
Providing you have control of your DNS, it means using DKIM , SPF or similar measures. I've been self-hosting email for three decades, and it ain't complicated.
I have 8GB on my Macs and 8GB on this Acer.
A few hundred tabs are no problem.
I guess you have a xxx movie in each of your tabs running?
"Likes long romantic walks in the park, binging Buffy the Vampire, pasta, and overthrowing the US government by lynching the Vice-President and the Speaker of the House."
You know you've been spending too much time on the computer when your friend misdates a check, and you suggest adding a "++" to fix it.
