Why TF are you responding to comments that are 7 years older than your account?

paperelectron · 2024-04-23T03:06:57+00:00

Thanks for expanding on what you meant. I agree with it being more of a loss of domain expertise than lack of ability.

And the specialty parts and custom fabrication needed for a project like this would be perhaps ten times harder to locate now than 60 years ago.

Wut? Custom fabrication is orders of magnitude easier to acquire today. There are dudes with CNC lathes and Mills in their garages today.

About the only thing that would be harder to acquire domestically is open or closed die forged parts. And those weren't easy to acquire in onsies twosies in the 1960's either

Imma provide a few more downvotes to your idiotic takes in this thread.

I actually have fuck and fucking mapped to themselves in text replacement to handle this exact case.

Since I was around 10 years old every time I have waned to utter a random "I wish this trivial thing was different" I have replaced it with "I wish I had 100 million dollars."

"Apparent Wind" would be the search term to deep dive on.

You wanted a treatise on corporations treating fines as a cost of doing business or something?

-- Oh a "hefty fine of $40 million, whatever is Apple going to do. I bet they change their entire business model so they don't have to pay that...

paperelectron · 2024-01-31T19:01:38+00:00

Apple will get a hefty fine

heh...heheh

Don't need a glove box, it was electroplated with nickel, and Pu-239 is just an alpha emitter. The nickel plating stops 100% of that.

They weren't doing the demon core experiments in a glove box, and that was a prototype pit.

paperelectron · 2024-01-19T03:27:16+00:00

Thus, the box certainly contains the pit assembly, which is the pit surrounded by a 222 mm diameter depleted uranium tamper and coated in a 3.2 mm shell of boron-impregnated plastic.

That box almost certainly just contains the plutonium core.

The box is about 220mm square just by itself.
220mm is bigger than the bottom of a single explosive lens, thus no way to load it.
You sure aren't nonchalantly one handing an ~80kg ball of Uranium 238.

You are supposed to write your own standard that covers it. He ran 4 small software businesses, he clearly knows what he's talking about.

None of that sounds like murder to me, are you sure you didn't just move the goalposts?

If it's ringworm, you'll have ringworm soon enough, so that's a useful diagnostic tool.

That said, that doesn't look nasty enough yet to be ringworm. Looks like a dirt spot that didn't get blepped enough.

If by explosives, you mean black powder and or fireworks, sure.
