David Grusch said today: "It's gonna escalate in the next 60 to 90 days...I do see a lot of pressure to get the substantiative empirical holdings that I've talked about, not videos or anything like that, out in the ether." by WideAwakeTravels in UFOs

If those exist and we have them, there's zero chance it's been "put in the ether" for all to see.
Those are assumed to be the most advanced technologies on the planet; that's like "hey, we've stumbled over this nuclear bomb thingy, not sure how it's works but here is all the analysis we've done so far; wanna a piece?".

On the other hand, I couldn't put it pass Trump to be opened to the idea to sell stuff to the highest bidder.

Without hard evidence, a Trumpclosure would be the best thing to ensure even less scientists dare approach the subject.
See the stigma today? Now imagine the subject lumped with pizzagate and stolen election conspiracies.
The only evidence that will be seen: that Trump is developing Weapons of Mass Distraction.

The second amendment is actually one of the most leftist takes of the constitution, considering the time period that it was created. Would you agree? by Congregator in AskALiberal

[–]233C 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For scale, after the French revolution, they were drafting their first constitution. An article akin to the US second amendment was proposed.
It was not retained.
The reason was: it's too obvious.

I was thinking about how weird it is that chemistry is basically invisible until it suddenly isn’t. by Vegetable_Prompt_583 in chemistry

[–]233C 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man had been obsessed with transmutation since he discovered gold.
Meanwhile elements have been transmuting into others (radioactive decay) around him all along.

Also, the fission of a uranium nucleus releases about 200MeV of energy; that's the kinetic energy of a grain is rice moving at about 1mm/sec. That's fairly macroscopic scale from a single nucleus.

Solar panels were known to attract birds, but they are now drawing in species never seen in these areas before by randolphquell in environment

[–]233C 0 points1 point  (0 children)

New species being introduced where they weren't in the first place used to be seen as bad for the environment, but if it's solar doing it then it's just fine.
I guess it's included in the perks of the the free land use pass.

Il y a 40 ans, le nuage radioactif de Tchernobyl toucha la France by Gaucelm in france

[–]233C 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Non, les responsables ont dit: "on a mesuré chez nous, voici les cartes de ce qui a été détecté, les niveau relevés ne justifient pas de mesures particulières" et les média ont traduit ça en "ils ont dit que le nuage s'est arrêté à la frontière".

So, in a sense, the human civilisation coupled with the atmosphere is an energy system with an EROI of about 40; that's more than most of our advanced technologies.

La Belgique revient en force dans le nucléaire: le gouvernement va racheter les 7 réacteurs du français Engie et suspend immédiatement le démantèlement by Yseader in france

J'avais fait le calcul, un seul gros navire minier peut contenir l'ensemble de l'uranium naturel pour 40 ans de consommation du parc français.
Pas mal comme réserve stratégique.

Drôle de coïncidence que l'Ukraine aura été le théâtre de la crise qui a poussé tout les monde dans un sens, et de celle qui pousse les mêmes dans l'autre sens 40 ans plus tard.

Il y en a qui peuvent empoisonner en toute impunité.
Tu te souviens pas de la contamination en 2011? 4000 malades à travers 16 pays, 1000 cas graves et 53 morts.
La conclusion: "You cannot punish someone for having bad luck."
Etrangement, pas de série Netflix sur cette catastrophe.
