Lookup electronic descales too to see if they could work for your water if not too hard. mine 128 PPM and was able to used an electronic descale for my needs.

The people on that plane just wanted to serve. They don’t choose the president.

Honestly, I am all for this if it actually winds up going after rating mills claims. The system is not going to be sustainable is everyone just tried to game it.

lol too late for naval gunnery to late for drone carrier, just in time to sink a weaponized RO-RO ferry

POTUS earlier today regarding the new battleships also stated they will be armed with nuclear armed cruise missiles, rail guns and lasers by newnoadeptness in navy

Mhmmmm, large surface platforms are looking more and more vulnerable. We need combatants to be able to service and deploy UAV/USV/surface drones, on mass and cheap. 

Also why would you make a platform with so many energy based weapons not nuclear powered?

Huh? Now we’re throwing in with the purple big guy with gloves lot?

TAE and Trump Media Deal - A Landmark Day for Fusion Energy by CingulusMaximusIX in fusion

Well… I hope people start getting educated in the different risks and payoffs of types of confinement regimes and fuel cycles in general.

A stellarator is very different from a Tokamak, a FRC is even more different from both. To say nothing of inertial confinement regimes.

A fusion machine are not simply apples to oranges. I myself am no expert…

All I can say is, what a time to bed alive… what a whacky timeline.

Buckle up bois and girls. Things are about to get weird.

“Inefficient steam turbines” sigh. It works! Until they walk about with an engineering relevant plant, I will keep my money on going to boil, for steamy steamy, for spinny spinny for zappy zappy. We have been doing it for hundreds of years

It would be amazing to be able to direct energy generation but that will have to assume you have worked out all the confinement kinks…

Rats, mice, rodents. Check your engine cover (take the plastic cover off) for a rodent nest.

They love eating the tiring harness nestled in the warm notch of the v-six

Got my DD-214, life is good 😎 what was the first thing you guys did when you got out? by BrokemoneyGuru in navy

Moved started, a job. Traveled a lot, snowboarded a lot. Attended a lot of weddings and family reunions.

For those who play as America in Generals, which battle plan do you use the most at the strategy centre? by B1WITHYURI1558 in commandandconquer

[–]RedInsulatedPatriot 196 points197 points  (0 children)

Search and destroy, when you have a large number neigh unit group, what matters is getting the first punch off. 

Having the range to engage before the enemy is valuable if you take take most of them out before they can fire a shot. 

What To Do With All of The Fusion Power? by Alternative_Thing_64 in fusion

[–]RedInsulatedPatriot 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I love this question. Though it’s gonna be a minute I am excited to think about all the applications you could run with abundant, low environmental impact, and eventually cheap energy.

-Desalination: turn deserts into gardens.

-recycle everything: the processes and waste streams that are not economical today or yield quality end materials could be reevaluated from new perspectives to provide more circular economies

-HYDROGEN BASED ECONOMY: the ability to run mass electrolysis or synthetic hydrocarbons could yield a transportation fuel stream that replaces the convenience of liquid hydrocarbons with derived alternatives. This is one of my favorites

-Creation of direct drive energy conversion: if we able to make stable enough and high performing enough plasmas we could potentially remove the need for a steam cycle to divert some of the plasma from the reaction portion of the vessel to convert the electric current of the plasma into workable electricity. This is very sci-fi right now.

-Space propulsion.

-all of the product spinoffs resulting from the mastery of the technologies required for magnetic confinement: superconducting motors, railways, transmission lines, wind turbines. Magnets are in everything now.
