  • 219-212. Oh boy that's close.
    "What did you vote on today honey?" I don't know, they just told me to vote yes so I did.
    "Won't that hurt your constituents?" They will still vote for me so long as I have the right letter next to my name, they haven't even realized I can't read yet.

  • Sure, but we also need to re-define what we call/think of as plastic. When we think of plastic we think of fossil fuel based plastics right? We don't think of biodegradable, compostable, renewable plastics. Plastics made from corn starch and sugarcane exist with processes that can greatly reduce the carbon impact, while also reducing risks of micro plastics being in our water supply, blood, and well everything. Plastics can also be made from algea from what I've heard. So the idea that we need to shift what we are using I believe is 100% true, but that also means we need to do some research into what would be the least impactful, highest yield, best value (or we will never get support in this hellscape) to find replacements.

    Glass can be reused near indefinite, but is heavy and uses a decent amount of energy input to remold it. That doesn't mean we shouldnt use it, it means we should, but for specific purposes. We need to get our governments and businesses to invest in research.... Somehow.

  • Yeah I know it uses waves towards the center but they are throughout the microwave, yet people don't questions the holes in the metal siding, which are metal circles. So if arcing was an issue on smooth sutfaces, it should happen there as well.

  • You mean like a spoon on a glass or ceramic plate? That seems unlikely.

    There is even companies that make glass/stainless steel lids for their microwave safe containers. So the lids won't warp like the plastic ones do and have to be thrown away

  • Yeah the last 2 episodes of season one were great, the last episode of season 2 felt like a great climb and then just collapsed at the end I feel. Like they didn't know where they wanted to go and just put it on a character not knowing where they wanted to go as a cliff hanger

  • I'm lazy and don't use tik tok, but from what I've seen when my spouse is on there this would make an interesting tik tok channel (is that what they are called?). Spoon Spark, where someone collects a shit ton of spoons and people take their guess on whether or not they'll spark or even start a fire. Maybe get different power levels of microwaves to increase to throughout the tournament.

    The E-Waste Arc Spark competition.

  • Comically enough, many spoons put in the microwave would be fine. Not recommending you try it, but the issue comes from arcs. And spoons don't have areas where arcs can occur naturally, like a fork.

  • Nah, this one makes complete sense if there were warrants out for his arrest in Mexico. We have extradition laws with Mexico (and most every other country in the Americas). Which is why we know most of these deportations are bologna. If someone actually had a warrant out for their arrest and was arrested for anything in the U.S. they would have been flagged for extradition when their ID was taken. If we couldn't correctly ID them, then there was no way for the U.S. to suddenly claim they had charges against them in another country. Any way you put it together, the executive branch is lying.

  • Yet breeder plants would be even more sustainable in theory, yet if anyone tries to research them right now and doesn't already have nuclear bombs they may fall into the same situation Iran just did.

    Less fuel use, Less waste. Requires more technological testing/improvements long term, but everyone is worried about people weaponizing higher enrichment uranium from an outside perspective.. I could be wrong

  • I wanted to make a joke about plug flow electricity because your in the UK I believe from what you said, but I don't know enough about it. Doesn't sound like it could supplement much energy in its current stages. I am curious to see if it ever makes any substantial amount in the next 10 years. (Right now it's so early they are talking only about a few LEDs sort of electricity)

    If you haven't heard of it, it is a process of maximizing the use of air pockets created in catching falling water (rain) and allowing it to split in a way that can convert the kinetic energy of it essentially to about 10% electrical energy. Supposedily about 5x as effective as just letting the water fall on its own and turning it to mechanical energy. There's something about it that seems whimsical about it to me. Not sure why.
