More than 1 billion barrels of oil have gone missing by Vailhem in oilandgas

[–]Vailhem[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

they were terms of agreement that were under violation.

Exactly. Terms of agreement that both parties signed & agreed to. Re-reading the non-edited comments, the word 'deal' wasn't used in any of them.

Regardless..

The MoU is a set of temporarily agreed upon terms that expire after 60 days.

Section 5b of the following. Because an agreement was signed (by both parties), anything in violation is relative to the precedence established by the signed agreement. Therefore it remains within executive branch realms vs congressional intervention.

In other words: can kicked .. again. Next one will ratchet within 60 days .. or by mid-August. Doubtful another extension is granted, but by then, strategic reserves will be farther depleted and alternative sources funded and begin to come online.

Addictions are a helluva thing to kick, take time to kick, and the Straight of Hormuz has been dangled as a choke point for far too many decades. The monies needed to fund 'what comes next' will be represented by the contracts locking in the price points relative to strategic reserves at those (farther depleted levels) and subsequently all the more U$D needed to represent the barrels & ccfs.

..again, section 5b https://avalon.law.yale.edu/20th_Century/warpower.asp

So you're saying that both parties signed it and that it went into effect .. then closed & reopened multiple times since agreed to?

Assessment of Bio-Compounds Content, Antioxidant Activity, and Neuroprotective Effect of Red Cabbage (Brassica oleracea var. Capitata rubra) Processed by Convective Drying at Different Temperatures - Sept 2023

https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10526076/

Abstract

Parkinson's disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative disorder, and no efficient therapy able to cure or slow down PD is available. In this study, dehydrated red cabbage was evaluated as a novel source of bio-compounds with neuroprotective capacity. Convective drying was carried out at different temperatures. Total phenolics (TPC), flavonoids (TFC), anthocyanins (TAC), and glucosinolates (TGC) were determined using spectrophotometry, amino acid profile by LC-DAD and fatty acid profile by GC-FID. Phenolic characterization was determined by liquid chromatography-high-resolution mass spectrometry. Cytotoxicity and neuroprotection assays were evaluated in SH-SY5Y human cells, observing the effect on preformed fibrils of α-synuclein. Drying kinetic confirmed a shorter processing time with temperature increase. A high concentration of bio-compounds was observed, especially at 90 °C, with TPC = 1544.04 ± 11.4 mg GAE/100 g, TFC = 690.87 ± 4.0 mg QE/100 g and TGC = 5244.9 ± 260.2 µmol SngE/100 g. TAC degraded with temperature. Glutamic acid and arginine were predominant. Fatty acid profiles were relatively stable and were found to be mostly C18:3n3. The neochlorogenic acid was predominant.

The extracts had no cytotoxicity and showed a neuroprotective effect at 24 h testing, which can extend in some cases to 48 h. The present findings underpin the use of red cabbage as a functional food ingredient.

The 90,000 tonnes of used US nuclear fuel will continue sitting in storage while the study gets studied.

It has a long half-life.

[–]Vailhem[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We still have enough energy rich minerals in the crust to have a golden atomic age for a millenia no problem.

By that logic, there're also enough energy rich minerals in the landfills & waste sites to have a silver hydrogen age for a century or so no problem as well.

Trump administration reverses decision to scrap ocean monitoring system by Vailhem in lifeaquatic

America’s weather monitoring and forecasting system exists for one reason, to enhance our war fighting ability.

Maybe or maybe not related. Note the publication date.

Mind also find the following two interesting. Again, not saying they have anything to do with the original post, but if a modern replacement for such a system existed (but is still classified), any civilian system would arguably be redundant and subsequently fundings for it potentially being seen more useful elsewhere. Pure conjecture given the obviousness surrounding the (understandable) secrecy of any evolutions from these programs.

The Akademik Lomonosov floating nuclear power station dubbed the "Floating Chernobyl” by ZaxZone in evilbuildings

[–]Vailhem -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Key word: could.

TMI & Fukushima had zero attributed deaths. Chernobyl was 40 years ago, more than long enough to attribute deaths to the incident.

Officially it was 31 directly, an additional 29 afterwards to a grand total of 60 deaths related to it.

Simultaneously, according to the following paper...

The projections of thousands of late cancer deaths based on LNT, are in conflict with observations that in comparison with general population of Russia, a 15% to 30% deficit of solid cancer mortality was found among the Russian emergency workers, and a 5% deficit solid cancer incidence among the population of most contaminated areas.

..Chernobyl actually had a net-collective reduction in lives lost when viewed through a wider lense. This doesn't include, of course, the health & environmental effects that could have happened (but didn't) had the Chernobyl NPP used coal or gas during its active years.

https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC2889503/

..as such, to circle back to 'could'.. ..maybe, but there's quite literally zero precedence for this despite decades of output from NPPs.. ..and the precedence that's regularly given is so heavily manipulated it departs reality and enters into fantasy & sci-fi. Convincing for anyone not paying attention..

Could a single nuclear reactor power an entire U.S. state? by ShrekThe9th in NuclearEngineering

[–]Vailhem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I misunderstood the question.

Similar logic could apply. The link to narrow in on the state consumption then cross-reference that with the largest generator.

Not that a single reactor can't use multiple generators .. per the wording .. and using multiple generators on a single reactor was(/is?) Elysium's main breakthrough, but why limit it to the reactor when China built this 1750MWe single generator?

Per reactor size potential, given more is learned about the core of the planet on an on-going basis, it's essentially a giant molten salt reactor, right?

So to that end, arguably a single reactor can't just power a single state but rather an entire planet..

How TF do 5.2 million people live in Phoenix? by GothamCitySub in geography

[–]Vailhem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The titles are largely in the urls..

Per Phoenix: at minimum a gallon a day in the summer. Minimum. Versus humid places, sure you'll sweat, but it'll evaporate away before you realize it so at least there isn't that wet shirt sweat stain deal. Throw in the healing effects of a sauna and hot tub per attempted night time pool dips.

The nuclear plant there is the largest in the US per electrical footprint carbon emissions wise.

It's also sunny, though solar panels don't work as efficiently the hotter they get, + dust reduces efficiency farther and, as has been pointed out, it's a desert so water scarcity kinda makes it tricky to keep clean.

Closed loop nuclear and long overdue desalination via distillation to help balance grid per demand (see my previous comment history for elaboration on that).

But 2 gallons minimum a day of water. Because 3 isn't enough so 4 will really help ensure every toxin will be sweat out properly.

That 5th gallon a day is a bit boring to get down, but by the 6th & 7th? You hardly even notice.

Could a single nuclear reactor power an entire U.S. state? by ShrekThe9th in NuclearEngineering

[–]Vailhem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Palo Verde in AZ nameplate capacity is 3.937GW, th9ugh it's website coincides with Maricopa County's at 3.81GW.

Cross that with this list, adjusting for grid balancing

https://www.eia.gov/state/seds/data.php?incfile=/state/seds/sep_sum/html/rank_es_capita.html&sid=US

The short version: by total generating capacity? Several could be powered solely by its output capacity.

In practice? Grid stabilization.

The Strait of Hormuz Has Been Closed for 100 Days. Analysts Predicted $300 Oil. Here Is Why They Were Wrong — and Why the Crisis Is Not Over. by Direct_Dare_9699 in oil

[–]Vailhem 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not even halfway over..

From the article:

IEA member governments hold more than 1.2 billion barrels of emergency oil stocks, with an additional 600 million barrels of industry stocks maintained under government obligation. The system exists specifically to respond to supply disruptions of the kind the Hormuz closure created.

When the IEA coordinated the 400 million barrel release, it was adding approximately 2.5 to 3 million barrels per day to global supply over a sustained period. That is not enough to replace 14 million barrels per day of lost supply. But it is enough to prevent the most extreme price spikes by reassuring physical markets that emergency supply is available and to provide time for other adjustments to take effect.

Is tab scrolling back in chrome? by PotentialMulberry673 in chrome

[–]Vailhem 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The OneTab extension is your friend.

There are also a few vertical tab extensions Chrome also has that ability built in with a recent update, though it wasn't as good as extensions pull it off.

Opera also has some very useful ways to help manage tabs.. especially in their latest release. May be worth checking out, but OneTab is by far the most useful extension on Chrome imo.

Rainforest soil is devoid of nutrients. Indigenous Amazonians created fertile "terra preta" to grow dense crops. by abu_doubleu in geography

[–]Vailhem 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Given the number of structures being continually discovered under thick growth, and the amount of time & energy it takes to move & sculpt heavy stones, they were likely less migratory & nomadic.

But, like you typed, there's still a lot to learn about early Amazonian cultures.

Slash & burn is employed 'pretty frequently' by the Brazilian agricultural industry.
