I kinda hope Trump lives and runs in the 2028 GOP primaries—the GOP deserves it.

Who’re “they”?

Love of money, that is: a pile of gold coins is a pile of gold coins.

Good point, but here in Toronto it’s the geese that seem the most determined.

wt:MAGAt: both words rhyme with a word for a “bundle of sticks or brushwood intended to be used for fuel tied together for carrying.” Apparently this word I’m not mentioning has other definitions by British and Irish.

a slur against bigots.

FWIW,

In 2024 Trump won:

49.8% of the popular vote,

312 Electoral College votes,

and,

31 states + ME-02

​

In 1972 Nixon won:

60.7% of the popular vote,

520 Electoral College votes,

and,

49 states

Two months and 2 days later, Nixon turned 60.

Nixon played football, and at 32 years of age, became a lieutenant commander in the United States Navy;

Cadet Bone Spurs, however, plays golf.

Nixon talked with Armstrong and Aldrin during their moonwalk: “the most historic phone call ever made from the White House”.

Trump, however, has a hissyfit while on his stupid website on Easter.

2. “Are you pregnant or is your belly fat?”

3. Say nothing as the question might be too personal.

wp:Underwater explosion#Properties of water

(my bold)

Effect of neutron exposure on salt water (nuclear explosions only) – most underwater blast scenarios happen in seawater, not fresh or pure water. The water itself is not much affected by neutrons but salt is strongly affected. When exposed to neutron radiation during the microsecond of active detonation of a nuclear pit, water itself does not typically “activate”, or become radioactive. The two elements in water, hydrogen and oxygen, can absorb an extra neutron, becoming deuterium and oxygen-17 respectively, both of which are stable isotopes. Even oxygen-18 is stable. Radioactive atoms can result if a hydrogen atom absorbs two neutrons, an oxygen atom absorbs three neutrons, or oxygen-16 undergoes a high energy neutron (n-p) reaction to produce a short-lived nitrogen-16. In any typical scenario, the probability of such multiple captures in significant numbers in the short time of active nuclear reactions around a bomb is very low. Salt in seawater readily absorbs neutrons into both the sodium-23 and chlorine-35 atoms, which change to radioactive isotopes. Sodium-24 has a half-life of about 15 hours, while that of chlorine-36 (which has a lower activation cross-section) is 300,000 years. The sodium is the most dangerous contaminant after the explosion because it has a short half-life.[2][self-published source?] These are generally the main radioactive contaminants in an underwater blast; others are the usual blend of irradiated minerals, coral, unused nuclear fuel, and bomb case components present in a surface blast nuclear fallout, carried in suspension or dissolved in the water. Distillation or evaporating water (clouds, humidity, and precipitation) removes radiation contamination, leaving behind the radioactive salts.

15 hrs per half-life x 10 half-lives

= 150 hrs

= 6.25 days

It probably wouldn’t stop the drone attacks.

IIUC, it’d create little lasting radiation, but yes, it’d kill a lot of fish.

He supported US involvement in the Second World War and initially supported a hard-line against Communism, but moderated over time.[149] However, Friedman did state in a 1995 interview that he was an anti-interventionist.[150] He opposed the Gulf War and the Iraq War. In a spring 2006 interview, Friedman said the US’s stature in the world had been eroded by the Iraq War, but that it might be improved if Iraq were to become a peaceful and independent country.[151][149]

affecting more than 340 million people.

Maybe we can build even more big beautiful windmills.

Strikingly, the impacts weren’t limited to a data center’s immediate surroundings; temperature increases affected areas up to 6.2 miles away, the research found, affecting more than 340 million people.

Huh?

Sounds good. 🙂

I wonder if Lemmy would allow me to create a poll community here where the posts are links to this StrawPoll?

I figure they have a few years to beat the US to the Moon (this century).
