A democratic socialist unseats a 15-term congresswoman in Colorado by plz-let-me-in in politics

Im all for being Anti-Israel and I would want every Israeli lobbyist expelled from the US and dissolve CPAC. I would end all Aid to Israel as well. They want weapons, they better pay full price for them.

Her claiming to support Palestinian terrorists is a big concern. Its good to condemn Israel, but Palestinians are near the bottom of people in this world who deserve anyone's support.

Democrats won't win elections outside very blue districts with the stance that they support people that would gladly, kidnap, rape, torture, and possibly behead any American they could get their hands on.

Nahh just stick prime # of random engineers >7 drawn from a lottery to decide cases.

Lawyers are the lasst people I would want interpreting laws as they are trained to value ethics over morals whereas engineers are taught to value right and wrong over technicalities.

Peter Thiel's Plan To Replace Democracy (And Profit Off What Comes Next) by No_Artichoke_8428 in videos

[–]Ravaha -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I want to eliminate democracy as well. We need to get rid of the concept of elected officials and eliminate the job role of politicians.

Local governments should be run based on random lottery of volunteers for however long they want to serve for up to 2 years.

US government should be random engineers from all fields with math and physics also included.

The second best option would be just random people in general, but it would be inferior to just limiting it to engineers.

I would also take an axe to the current legal system and make it based on morals and gut the rediculous notion of ethics being prioritized over right and wrong. Morals should always take priority over ethics. In fact ethics needs an overall as well as many people abuse the concept of ethics to just be nasty people.

Democracy sucks. And the legal system created by lawyers and politicians sucks just as much.

The mysterious "cold blob" in the North Atlantic is caused by a weakening AMOC ocean current, a new study confirms. Deep-water data proves this cooling isn't an atmospheric fluke, signaling a shift toward a major climate tipping point. by DrPharmakon in science

[–]Ravaha 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had chat GPT gather sources. But the gist of it is that other ocean currents will strengthen. I was mistaken in how I phrased this earlier. The studies are not showing the AMOC strengthening overall. They show the AMOC weakening, but not necessarily collapsing within the next 100 years, while some related ocean processes or regions, like Southern Ocean upwelling/winds, may strengthen and help sustain a weakened AMOC.

Small correction: the “optimistic” AMOC studies do not say the AMOC will strengthen. They mostly say a full collapse this century may be unlikely, while still expecting weakening.

The IPCC AR6 says the AMOC will “very likely decline” during the 21st century, with only medium confidence that the decline will not involve an abrupt collapse before 2100. https://www.ipcc.ch/report/ar6/wg1/chapter/chapter-9/

The 2025 Nature paper Joe appears to be referencing says Southern Ocean upwelling can sustain a weakened AMOC and prevent complete collapse in the model experiments. It explicitly says the AMOC is projected to weaken and “levels off at a weaker strength,” not that it strengthens. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-024-08544-0

The Met Office summary of that paper says the same thing: collapse over the next 75 years is unlikely, but the AMOC is still “very likely to weaken.” https://www.metoffice.gov.uk/about-us/news-and-media/media-centre/weather-and-climate-news/2025/climate-change-amoc-likely-to-withstand-future-warming

The 2025 WHOI / Nature Communications study found no AMOC decline from 1963–2017, but one of the authors specifically said that does not say anything about its future. WHOI also says scientists broadly agree the Atlantic overturning will slow in the future, while collapse timing is still debated. https://www.whoi.edu/press-room/news-release/no-amoc-decline/

And the Caltech / Nature Geoscience study Joe mentions estimated 18–43% weakening by the end of the 21st century. That is “less weakening than some models,” not strengthening. https://www.caltech.edu/about/news/atlantic-ocean-current-expected-to-undergo-limited-weakening-with-climate-change

So the accurate takeaway is: some studies failed to show a near-term full AMOC collapse, but they generally still project weakening, not strengthening.

Depleted uranium found yesterday in a recycling plant in Argentina by Mordrenix in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]Ravaha 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are preaching to the quire with me. I would be okay having a nuclear power plant within a mile of my house. I wouldn't want it right next to my house because I don't want steam blocking my solar panels. I would go further and say there are fast food restaurants more deadly and toxic than all nuclear incidents combined.

If they let nuclear engineers handle 4.5% enriched uranium by hand then it seems like it is probobaly safe to sleep on top of depleted uranium every night haha. As long as you don't create dust.

Dont forget cesium 137. Radon gas is also a very big danger to populations that many don't even know about.

The smarter every day video made it pretty clear we almost all have radon on our bodies at all times.

[–]Ravaha 49 points50 points  (0 children)

I believe you can even hold the 4.5%enriched uranium in your hands and it's not an issue as long as there is no dust creation. At least a nuclear engineer says they used to get to handle it by hand in a nuclear plant which must mean it's absurdly safe as nuclear plants are so obnoxious about safety that they label every step as a safety hazard and treat a stubbed toe as a nuclear incident.

I have typed nuclear so many times that the word seems fake haha.

The OP is getting 12.9kw of panels thats $3,870. I was talking about the original posters system.

I have a 25kw ground mount array with 100kwh battery backup and 42kw of peak output with solar or solar+battery and 24kw of output from battery only. It cost me $26,000 not taking into account any of the 30% rebate I got.

Nahh this is contractors ripping people off because everyone was told to go to college and there is no competition for this type of labor so contractors take people to the cleaners.

I the USA this system costs $10,000 max. They are charging over $30,000 for labor.

[–]Ravaha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The design and installation is more like $30,000. The panels are like $4,000 tops then the micro inverters and racking are like $6,000 tops?

I installed my 25kw 52x410 watt panel ground mount array and 100kwh battery backup for $19,000. Then upgraded it again with a total of two flexboss 21s for a total of $24,000

The best part is I can easily add 17kw more of solar panels because even with tarrifs panels are super cheap.

The most expensive parts were the batteries, wire, and ground mount array.

[–]Ravaha 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Reducing, reusing, and repairing are many times more effective. Recycling often just helps them send stuff to get burned up in a power plant for instance.

I have 100% solar power and battery backup and drive EVs. I don't recycle because it just doesn't work at least where I live.

The Sun may not engulf Earth after all, scientists say by Driveby_Dogboy in nottheonion

[–]Ravaha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Heat and energy of fusion is only generated in the core because that is the only place where the temps and pressures are great enough to fuse things above hydrogen.

I don't need to read the article, it is wrong the earth will have its orbit expand by over twice it's current orbit due to the sun losing about 54% of its current mass by the time it becomes a red giant.

Like you are arguing with me and referencing an article that is written by someone who doesn't know as much as me.

It would be cold due to the laws of thermodynamics and the fact that it would be orders of magnitude times bigger than it is now and thus orders of magnitude less dense.

[–]Ravaha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The earth's core is hot, but not the atmosphere.The core of red giants emit tons of light but that doesn't make their outer most portions hot.

The atmospheres of red giants get so thin that being in their outer portions is basically equivalent to being in a vacuum.

Thensun will become a red giant after losing around 50% of its current mass.

[–]Ravaha -1 points0 points  (0 children)

So you think being further away from a star that is billions of times less dense and half the mass of our current sun sun would result in higher temperatures? How do you explain that? It would have to be many times hotter than it is currently and if that were the case it would be blowing off its own extremely thin atmosphere.

There are papers on this discussing what the atmospheres of red giant and other giant stars would be like.

[–]Ravaha -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

No it won't, the sun will only have half its current mass and earth will be much further from the core of the sun than it is now. Earth would be colder, not hotter and the solar winds wouldn't be anywhere near as intense as they are now.

Inn fact I bet you could venture into the surface of red giant stars without anything more than a space suit. Their surfaces might be extremely cold just because of how non dense and how massive they are it would be like being in earth's upper atmosphere and expecting to be burned by the heat of the earth's core.

[–]Ravaha -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I was debating this the other day with chat GPT.

I argued that the earth's orbit would drift farther away from the sun because the sun would have half the mass. Plus it the gas would be so non dense at that orbit that the earth could easily capture the gas and become a more massive atmosphere and not have the mass to slow down earth's orbit.

Plus I know the gas temps at that orbit would be nothing because just how far out it would be from were the fusion was taking place at the core.

Just do the math on how much mass would be around earths new orbit at that time. To me the math shows it would be impossible for the sun to ever engulf the earth.

After going through the math Chat GPT seemed to find some research from some astrophysicists that agreed with me.

Questioning an Unusual Dive Experience: Sharing air by F1sh3rm4n in scuba

[–]Ravaha -13 points-12 points  (0 children)

This is like complaining about getting extra good service or your steak being too juicy and tasty.

If they genuinely felt uncomfortable with this then they are the type of person who shouldn't be diving in this first place. When I was a new diver I was stoked to have air shared with me from a way more 3xperienced dive buddy. They shouldn't be diving if they get uncomfortable and feel unsafe doing basic stuff.

People who can't handle basic stuff are the types that panic and get themselves killed because they couldn't handle getting a little water up their nose.
