10% of the radiation of something with a half life measured in hours in a lot od radiation. 10 tons of radioactive Na leak. 1 ton is left after 2 days. Thats a lot!

I understand half life. My point moisture currents can spread water soluble things very far very quickly. Think of it this way, what happens if there's a catastrophic sodium leak? The winds carry it far and the Na gets into everything

Run away where? To the next river basin? Na will dissolve into any moisture and be carried away by any moisture.

His understanding appears worse than that. Heat capacity is important, but as a second order. Absolute temperatures is the real deal since it sets the Carnot efficiency. Another way to look at it, if I were doing a back of the envelop calcu

Call me a prude. Call me old fashioned. Call me small minded. But watching a woman getting chocked while DPed in her anus while a half dozen men ejaculate on her is not the type of extra-curricular activity [1] I want my soon to be teenag

Radio in YYZ: Sam Roberts, Celine Dione, Nickleback, Avril Levine. Sounds disturbed.

When I went to visit my parents for Easter I was shocked to hear Sam Roberts' Milky Way song. That was shocking.

That's why I'm not changing my very leaky and drafty windows - I don't want to live in a hermetically sealed Tupperware container. Once I install an HRV system then I'll do the windows!

Its creative license. He's illustrating how a description of the Antichrist from over 100 years ago so neatly describes modern man's deity. You clearly understood the parallel, for you felt manipulated. His manipulation is not onl

First time hearing this, but after I moved into an apartment with a bad bedbug infestation, I really changed my life. I ended up marrying the girl I was dating, finished my PhD that was going nowhere, etc. I attribute it to seeing how bad m

We could slash emissions tomorrow by lowering the speed limit. We aren't because we don't actually care.

You wouldn't cite a random bloke on the internet, a person that has reason and consciousness, why are citing a language model that is trained on what the stupidest of blokes have said on the internet? If we really cared about CO2 emiss

Minivans do have more utility in the hardware store since they open up more, but modern "SUV"s are dressed up minivans and get similar millage as an SUV. So I really don't understand minivan love paired with SUV hate (mid siz

Indeed, and when I was looking to buy my SUV i was gravitating towards the minivan version of my SUV. But it didnt come with AWD, and my wife insisted on it despite my protests. In fact the minivan would have been more practical, but enviro

Dumb weight for one. Structural design for another. Everything in between the teo axles has to be very strong since it keeps forces generated by the road from ripping the car apart. On top of that, outside the axles, you're in the auto
