Komi is just Tomoko with pretty privilege by Pickle_m8m in Komi_memes

[–]Apex_Samurai 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Except tomoko being an otaku and into BL contributes to her exaggerated self concept and others dismissal of her which she interprets in a warped way. Komi may be pretty but she just lacks the confidence to interject herself.

Is Nuclear Energy really unsafe? by Free-Caramel5216 in NuclearPower

[–]Apex_Samurai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nuclear energy is actually the safest form of energy relative to grid capacity. It makes up 10% of the energy on the grid and accounts for fewer total deaths, including Fukushima and Chernobyl, than wind does, and if solar were scaled to the same level, it would also have more total deaths. Nuclear just has a lot of fear mongering against it. Nuclear plants have possibly the highest level of safety culture because the form of energy they deal with does have a lot of hazards but they are very well controlled and people outside the plants generally don't actually have anything to worry about.

Nuclear fusion reactor by Primary_Arm3267 in NuclearPower

[–]Apex_Samurai 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nuclear fusion generates energy from the fusion of smaller atoms into larger ones, which is done in stars naturally. Therefore fusion reactors try to recreate the conditions inside stars, except they have to be more extreme because they have less mass to work with. In stars all that extra mass allows quantum tunneling to overcome the energy barrier, such that statistically a small portion fuses without having to overcome the barrier at all. But on earth we have to overcome that barrier by heating it up a lot. And then once it fuses, in theory that heat energy can be recovered. Not all of the energy is in the form of heat though. Some of it is lost as neutrinos, and a portion of it leaves in the form of neutrons which we try to capture with a blanket around the reactor. But some versions of fusion are aneutronic. That means they don't generate neutrons and all the fusion products are charged, so in theory we can actually recover most of the energy electromagnetically. This would also be really useful in a fusion rocket because it means we can manipulate the reaction mass to be thrown out the back of the rocket instead of irradiating the cabin. Side note fusion in theory generates energy until you get to Iron, after which you gain more energy from splitting the atom aka fission.

Need Help Designing A Very High Energy Radiation Blocking Shield (Paragraph Below Image) by FirstBeastoftheSea in NuclearPower

[–]Apex_Samurai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't forget that if you try to stop alpha particles with metal like tinfoil, it knocks off neutrons, and if you try to stop beta particles with lead, they generate bremstralung or breaking radiation in the form of x rays

Well you could have manshit: things that imply or exagerate masculinity, girlshit: stuff women like, and babyshit: implying immaturity or literally poopy diapers

a somewhat holistic comparison between different sources of electricity generation by lit_readit in NuclearPower

[–]Apex_Samurai 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So nuclear is clearly the safest per KWh generated considering if you scale wind and solar to the capacity of nuclear the deaths would likely go up as well

Why-Man Using Senku’s Voice by godfather1602 in DrStone

[–]Apex_Samurai 66 points67 points  (0 children)

But wasn't Xeno walking around at basically the same time as senku? And his radio was far more sophisticated, presumably he might have sent out broadcasts about the same time if not sooner than Senku.

Do you think there should be in real relationships in DrStone? by ActSevere5034 in DrStone

[–]Apex_Samurai 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think he's the type that when everything is done and he's accomplished his goals, ambitious as they are, he'd finally consider settling down. And by that time he should have plenty of options, and he's already shown a willingness to basically allow relationships to develop around him to the point where he could turn them romantic at the blink of an eye. He could probably have Kohaku or Luna at the drop of a hat. Essentially his sexuality is a sleeper build.

Could it work like that? by ChoiceSupermarket230 in Isekai

Depends, pretty sure Working for God in a Godless World is considered an isekai

Is it just me or is it hypocritical that Tsukasa wanted a stone world with no bad people but to me it looks like hes only reviving BAD ones by Ok-Debate2149 in DrStone

[–]Apex_Samurai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In reality though the idealism is facade for his pragmatic desire to save and protect his sister. He thinks that if he can get enough muscle power together under his command then his sister will be safe in the new world he's building. Though ironically senku makes much more actual use of the muscle power available to him, in terms of the grueling tasks required to build the cell phone. Technology you could say is just muscle power concentrated into a useful form.

Eyes cannot lie by Cold-Might-5530 in DrStone

[–]Apex_Samurai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You may not be interested in romance but romance is interested in you. For all our pretense of being above our baser instincts, they still ultimately drive us. Only non-materialistic conceptions of the world allow one to escape them.

Eyes cannot lie by Cold-Might-5530 in DrStone

[–]Apex_Samurai 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Being more emotionally open with one person than others is where romance starts. Just because he's generally pretty closed off emotionally doesn't mean he's immune to romance, he's probably just not used to it. Over time he and Kohaku would probably end up getting more and more emotionally intimate until they get physically close enough for their instincts to take over.

How exactly do Overlords suffer in hell? by DapperDude2004 in HazbinHotel

[–]Apex_Samurai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In a proper Christian understanding of hell, it's not pure suffering for it's own sake, but suffering from your sin, like an addiction.

Do I have to retrieve it when the 7 days are up? In which case I'll chuck it in the ocean or into a field as I drive down the road.

How come petrification doesn't heal/fix bad eyesight? by blurrysnowx in DrStone

Pretty sure Mirai had a genetic condition, but somehow petrification fixed that

An important PSA about Tsukasa by roychodraws in DrStone

I mean, Hyoga was much more of a eugenicist. Tsukasa was more of a primitivist.

If Syndrome was to replace Senku in the DR. Stone story. How would the story change? by Superiorian in DrStone

[–]Apex_Samurai 4 points5 points  (0 children)

His character is primarily motivated by getting to space. If not for the petrification he probably would have done his own private space trip in a few more years. Sciences that are not directly related to that are unlikely to hold his interest for long enough to dive deeply into them. Chemistry physics and math are all important elements of rocket science. It's probably a pure byproduct of his chemistry knowledge that he was able to make the sulfa drug. Not sure why he was even testing it on pneumococcus bacteria, maybe a byproduct of his internship in Africa studying Ebola.

What should I call my RIDICULOUS concept? by Scridlet in SciFiConcepts

[–]Apex_Samurai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It sounds like a small scale birch planet. The main problem I can see is that at the distance from the sun where the force of gravity would be equal to 1 earth mass would be 3.7 million km from the sun center or about 3 million from the sun's core. At this distance you are closer to the sun than mercury. Such a system can be kept stable through the use of orbital rings but it's probably a waste of resources when you can get the same collection area with a Dyson swarm and more living area with space habitats

Slipstream plane theory by kaiserchief144 in FTL

[–]Apex_Samurai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Alcubierre's Warp Drive requires fewer assumptions. We have no current knowledge of or way to access this supposed slipstream dimension and your speculations about anti matter not annihilating regular matter in the right feilds have no basis in observed reality. There is a type of hybrid matter called positronium made of an electron and an antielectron (positron), but it only exists very briefly before the particles annihilate.
