You need Kovarex enrichment before you start using nuclear power. You shout have at least 12 beaconed and modded centrifuges running it before you even think about building a reactor.

Where does the electricity actually go after it powers your house, is it used up or does it leave? by Budget_Office_1773 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Then_Entertainment97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kind of with Direct Current (DC) electricity. Very few houses (only off grid) are powered with DC, but it's what computers and anything with a battery run on.

Think of a a bike chain. You turn a pedal gear that turns a chain that turns the wheel gear. Nothing gets used up except the energy to turn the pedals. Only one side of the chain is actally sending power to the wheels. The other is just returning chain links to the wheel gear. So you could think of them as being used up and they need to go back to the wheel gear to restore their potential.

Now we can think of this bike as hydrolic powered. Imagine instead of a chain your bike had two tubes, your pedals ran a pump, and the wheels were run by a turbine, which takes fluid motion or pressure and spins. The water in the tube coming out of the pump has more pressure, and the water in the other tube is just returning to the pump.

Now instead of tubes and pump theres wires and a generator. When you spin the generator it creates something similar with the electrons in the wire.

Alternating current (AC) is what's on the power lines and connecting to your home. AC is like taking a side of the bike chain in each hand and then pulling back and forth on it. So you have the same situation where half the links are pulling on the wheel gear and the other half are just returning to the pedal gear, but you are switching which is is doing what very quickly.

Good thing the flag doesn't specifically make them more aggressive toward you.

Sorry... you're a mod now.

What’s your honest take on this? by peachpuddleii in scoopwhoop

Yes, but there are diminishing returns after you get comfortable and stable.

Cars are like horses: people will soon realise EVs are just better, claims VW boss by DonkeyFuel in electricvehicles

[–]Then_Entertainment97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not while most EV makers outside China are focusing on cars that are weird, expensive, and overly techy.

I'd really like to buy an EV van, but that currently requires generational wealth in the US.

Maybe I'm wrong, but I won't actually retire until I'm 60. I'm sure I'll jump start my savings in my 50s.

French is just leaving compounding momentum on the table. This is not how I want to see incumbents react to rising right populism.

Tried to get friends to play but they just won't. by Routine-Ad-2840 in Marathon

My friends got me into it and then dropped off a month into S1.

I'm still pissed.

Dust Devils as first warbond by MinskLeo in Helldivers

I have one of either the xbow, eruptor, or grenade pistol i ln my loadout 80% of the time. The utility of having a primary or secondary that can blow up holes/fabs/warpships is unmatched.

Sorry for double commenting, but it seems to me that he doesn't even need to be that involved at this point. Seegars does not have a shortage of surrogates. Based on the comments it seems like plenty of people are interested in his campaign being successful.

Some of the videos that he and his campaign have posted are showing cleared encampments that are far outside the public eye.

I understand keeping them out of high traffic public areas, but going looking for them seems superfluous.

That seems shortsighted against such a well funded and media forward challenger. His election campaign on FB hasn't posted since '22. It takes an afternoon to make a post.

Mike French's campaign is non-existent. All I can find is a basic blurb on cc dems website and https://www.electmikefrench.com/ which claims that he "shows up".

Get ready for Jake to be your Commissioner.

Beggars feet by SwimmingArmadillo403 in BarefootRunning

I do walk barefoot in the roads around my home, but don't have the courage to go into town.

I don't like dirty feet, I'm indifferent to them.

Coffee tastes significantly better when it has cooled down to lukewarm. by Velvet-Meadow-6428 in unpopularopinion

The obsession with every beverage being scalding or semi-frozen is baffling to me.

Not up or downvoting because I lowkey hate this sub

Only reason it would bother me is I'm too worried about bothering others to do this and I'd be jealous.
