It bio-accumulates. Radio-isotopes mimic micro-nutrients and are used by the body of plants and animals until they are eaten by something else.
Not a lot of plants at 4000 meters.
You mean plankton and zooplankton isn't there bro.
“If this result holds up under peer review, it would indeed be a conceptual break-through,” Karsten Nohl, a cryptography expert and the head of innovation at Allurity, said in an interview. “RSA is as difficult to break as it is to factor large integers, at least so we thought. The researcher suggests that you can practically break RSA without cracking its key.”
I told my Mom that I store my laundry on the floor.
Mom it's a floordrobe!
So yes, the ocean can dilute that, but it does impact the local ecology.

And it does violate the principle of "don't shit where you eat", in that some of the sites are beneath prime fishing areas for the US and EU.
Which is how people accumulate radio-isotopes in the body because it is humans on the top of the food chain. After that it takes about 6 years of internal radiation exposure for body tissues to gestate a tumor. Plutonium Chloride is really good at creating leukemia because it looks like iron to the body and readily absorbed by people.
When the animal (or human) dies the radio-isotope is returned to the environment to begin the cycle again until it goes through enough half-lives to decay energetically.
You wouldn't recognise far left even if it bites you in the arse. Keming really makes your username check out.
Putin is not especially intelligent and by now also half-senile. Although, that doesn't really refute what you claim, to be honest.
It's now the Department of Just ICE, but they haven't got round to updating the letterheads.
It looks like it's the other way around. DP we've had some really good conversations over the years. Of late I've seen a lot of outrage from you which is odd because it seems like we agree on many, but not all, things. With all sincerity, I hope you are ok.
I'm trying to get people on to the bus. Running next to it for a block or two shouting about how complaining to you does nothing does nothing.
I've analyzed roughly 12-18 acts of law, some international agreements and written letter to politician on both sides of politics framed in language they understand. My work here raised awareness amongst politicians who didn't realize some of the things they were endorsing into law, like body cavity searches on minors. The politicians would often write back thanking me, or telling me the party line. Sometimes I see the effect in the media. I've read thousands of pages of legislation, then written formal submissions most in the 10-100 page range. I've lobbied extensively on Human Rights and Freedom of speech issues.
I think that tells you I'm a bus driver except no one pays or thanks me. Tell me about the work you have done.
Come on, stop projecting. You simply are the same as the orange shitgibbon and co - not considering them Iranians human. And no walls of pretext and excuses can change that. You are the extremist who wants to exterminate others. And a disgusting one at that. Go spew your poison elsewhere.
That will trigger an invasion.
Except in this case it has nothing to do with the AI. Neither the orange shitgibbon nor his goons nor his buddies in Israel consider Iranians people.
My Spanish bank this year forced me to install their app for verification because they discontinued the receipt of an SMS for the second factor. I am not amused: SMS works, but seemingly every other time I launch the app to verify an online credit card payment it insists on updating before it will let me do anything, and meanwhile there's a Verified By Visa timer ticking down.
And it is fine that way. They are not supposed to be creative, that is not the job of the editor, that is the job of the writer. Their job is to find mistakes - grammatical, orthographic, plot holes, that kind of stuff.
I have been slowly working on a novel for the past two years and ChatGPT turned out to be a decent editor. Not all it criticised was correct because it did not always "get" the context, but a lot of things have been quite insightful.
Democracy evolved into dumb-ocracy, but it wasn't natural selection, but rather extremely artificial. Humans DECIDED that it should favor the wealthy, and made it happen, it didn't just magically occur and the only natural law at play is that those with the most resources have the most agency
This is exactly what Franklin was trying to warn us about. He was saying "Look this constitution is good and I think government is a good idea but none of it is perfect". He was saying that a day will come when the ideas that make a nation great will be subject to corruption. Look at the Soviet Union, that also collapsed from corruption but I don;t see anyone in the west saying "Hey that could happen to us too". You're not going find any argument from me that corruption is bad. It is the enemy of civilization.
It's not that humans decided the systems should favor the wealthy, it's the wealthy who decided it should favor the wealthy through lobbying over hundreds of years. It was the psychopathic self interested people taking advantage of ok, dumb and also well meaning or even naive people that is destroying democracy - again what Franklin was warning this current right now living generation that this system is imperfect and there simply wasn't facility enough in his day to build a system of government that could resist corruption.
The question is; what are YOU going to do about it. I know what I have done about however I am one person and laws are sometimes thousands of pages long. You think the politicians read all of it? Have a go drinkypoo find an act of law that bothers you, read it, analyze it and write to the policritters. Complaining to me does nothing. Once you do that you will understand why a Technocracy is actually a pretty good idea, especially if we incorporate the lessons Franklin was trying to teach.
Therefore it's crony capitalism that evolved into technocracy, not democracy.
No. Crony capitalism is devolving us towards corporatism, the 21st century version of feudalism. Feudalism is what communism tries to convert capitalistic democracies into - but we're doing it for them with apathy, which is *exactly* what communist leaders predict will happen to us. Pure capitalism is absolutely terrifying which is why democracy is an attempt to moderate it into something that resembles civilization. However a democratic society is open to corruption by it's very nature. It has to be otherwise it would not be democratic and you're observing the vectors for eroding democracy in the triad of apathy, stupidity and self interest that causes corruption.
So don't be blaming democracy or technocracy for human nature because all that is is an excuse to do nothing.
