  2. Re:Hydrogen is indeed quite dangerous... on Tesla CEO Elon Musk: Fuel Cells Are 'So Bull@%!#' · · Score: 5, Funny

    Hydrogen gas is quite safe, if a tank is just punctured, it will remove itself harmlessly from the vicinity.
    If the tank is ruptured and the gas set on fire, you might set a tree overhang on fire, but the car will avoid most of the damage. Unlike gas that pools under the car in a manner perfect for human BBQ.

    Given their criminal abuse of the written word that sounds that sounds like a reasonable punishment.
    I mean for fucks flying sake, we have Swype and full phone keyboards, STT and probably thought reading touchtyping too, and they still use deprecated SMS shorthand.

    No wonder the other girl killed herself if that's how their messages looked like.

  4. Re:this is excellent news about generating power. on ITER Fusion Reactor On Track To Generating Power By 2028 · · Score: 3, Insightful

    The problem with the ITER approach is that the commercial reactor types based on it will cost too much to compete with traditional nuclear and coal. As It's based on a GIGANTIC no-financial-holds-barred approach.

    The smaller approaches like LPP, General fusion, TriAlpha and whatever they're called nowdays that have shoestring to moderate budget will likely not only succeed to produce viable fusion energy sooner, they'll do so much cheaper too.

    I see the anti-nuclear camp blending fire detectors and dusting them all over the place to ensure Fukushima is "taken as seriously as it deserves!"

    It's a spent fuel pool, not a reactor core, and even so the backup kicked in with short notice and even if it hadn't, other sensors would've likely flagged down the problem or tripped alarms if it had been left unattended for a very long time.

    It was 430 liters of wastewater with a comparatively low radiation level(0.2kBq, for nuclear medicine image studies you're counting mega-Bq and you're injecting it, for radionuclide therapy you're up in high and wild GBq numbers). So yes indeed no worries, really.

    Regarding the safety limit of 30 becquerel: that's two banana equivalent doses, meaning that a banana shake can exceed the safety limit. And 6 million bananas being equivalent to the total leaked value.

    Trying to present it as more dangerous by saying "you're too stupid to understand this terribly complex affliction" is just a bullshit alarmism tactic for hiding your ignorance.

    That you give us actual fucking measurement numbers in millisievert per unit of time instead of scaremongering with ambigious definitions.
