About 8000 years ago. No one is concerned about a tsunami here, though, nice try to deflect. People are concerned about the next case of shit hitting the fan that "no one would have expected". And since you pro-nuclear trolls are lying with every breath you are taking about containable failure modes, we are voting you out. Now look at that, democracy. Understandable that your ilk hates it.
And the fact that the containment failed secondarily is of importance, how? As soon as the tsunami hit, we were in a failure mode that was beyond what was planned. Of course, that can only happen in soviet russia... errr... in japan.... err.. on old GE designs. Until the next one goes up, and we will all be so surprised that such an unexpected failure mode struck. Excuse me, dear nuclear proponents, I don't trust your corporate overlords as far as I can throw them. Also, I wouldn't piss on them if they were on fire.
It sure helped them. It also helped, though, that the former conservative minister president Mappus can be found in every encyclopedia under "A" for "asshole". They really went a step to far pissing of the population in Stuttgart lately....
The problem is, apart from the heavy metal toxicity, that it has a biological half time of decades. It bioaccumulates. So it's gonna stay around with you - ample time for that 5 MeV alphas to hit your DNA. You don't need a high activity when you carry it around in your liver for the rest of your life.
Yeah. Of course. The containment withstood the quake. That's why it is still CONTAINING that plutonium. And I, Cs, Tc and whatnot. That is why we see dose rates of 1 Sv/h in water OUTSIDE the containment. But hey - no matter. Radiation is healthy and ingesting Pu is like chewing on an iron nail, as read further up this thread. You guys are getting somewhat embarrassing by now.
You are volunteering to ingest a few grams of Plutonium here? Enjoy the accumulation in the liver and skeleton. I recommend to take it finely ground up - as it presents here - and preferably by inhalation. Especially tasty. Fire up that bong, mate!
Well, to be precise, the synthesis of organic compounds from anorganic sources was nothing particularily new in the 50s. The first relevant synthesis was WÃhler's urea synthesis in 1828, that conclusively showed that organic chemistry is nothing special compared to anorganics. All the major reactions needed to get to amino acids from anorganic educts within a planned synthesis path were known in the 50s. The major thing was that it can happen at random, given the main ingredients, energy and surprisingly little time.
So, to go into full nutcase mode for a second, Zeus was in reality a nuclear power driven alien cyborg? When Semele asked him to show himself, that is, to take off his exterior shielding which hid the true form of his biological component, he basically had to expose his reactor core to her? Did DÃniken actually exploit this juicy story?
Been strong worded there, i give you that. However, he is comparing - pardon the pun - apples with bananas. Especially when he is comparing K to I incorporation. The bioaccumulation of both compounds is SO much different, it is not even funny. Biochemist here, btw;) Radiological damage is not only the physics of it. Anyway - of course radiation is everywhere, but Watts is running the same strategy here like he is on the issue of global warming - all harmless, all full of fluffy bunnies - heck bananas, that's the measure for radiation now. Of course he is NOT scaremongering - brushing everything aside as harmless is the core of his strategy.
Nice to see that Watts is taking his personal war on science to the next level. From blabbering about the global warming conspiracy without having any clue about climatology he now moved to an area where his cluelessness is even greater. Perhaps he'll manage to make so big an arse out of himself that last fool finally recognizes that he is a shill and a moron.
If the explosion was not caused by a meltdown, care to tell what was the cause of it? If it indeed was a hydrogen explosion, where did the hydrogen come from? I see only two options - that's radiolytic or thermolytic. Radiolysis is going on all the time, and is taken care of, so in my opinion, it has to be thermolytic - meaning that something is DAMN hot in there. Now what would that be....
Technically, the waters didn't destroy all flesh the first time, either... I guess we need a skilled attorney to figure out what big G's claim does exactly cover. But well, I didn't plan to get into a scholastic debate here, just wanted to point out what the YECs use as an argument here. Not that I really want to defend them...
Well, to be honest, in that context you can't expect them to apply the lesson to AGW - after all, in that particular story, god assured Noah after the flood that he wouldn't pull shit like that anymore. So, it is perfectly reasonable for a young earther to deny any dangers from AGW - it is not part of big G's program anyway.
Not exactly correct. Vaccines do not give you 100% immunity, usually. Unvaccinated people increase the risk for everyone, because they are 100% not immune. Google the whole "herd immunity" concept.
Being preferred doesn't make the reference frame absolute, just useful. That's no contradiction to all inertial reference frames being equivalent. I do agree, though, that the whole dark matter/energy concept seems like a kludge that just cries out for a more elegant theory.
The stuff about the documentary is pure bullshit - bit of sensationalism by history channel, I guess. Video games, however... well you got somewhat of a point there. WW2 games are indeed censored here, but that is actually self-censorship in most cases. The law allows the display of Nazi symbols in works of art - however, the question whether video games are covered by that clause has not been conclusively answered by the courts. The gaming industry has no real interest in pursuing the matter in a lengthy trial, which probably would have to go up to the constitutional court, so they avoid the problem.
To be precise, according to Art. 86 StGB, display of Nazi symbols is allowed under following conditions:
"staatsbuergerlichen Aufklaerung, der Abwehr verfassungswidriger Bestrebungen, der Kunst oder der Wissenschaft, der Forschung oder der Lehre, der Berichterstattung ueber Vorgaenge des Zeitgeschehens oder der Geschichte oder aehnlichen Zwecken"
translating to: "civil education, combating anti-constitutional activities, art or science, research and teaching, reporting on current or historical affairs or similar purposes"
Video games should be covered by "similar purposes" with regards to "art". As I said, however, it hasn't really been tested in court.
Ahh, never let reality get in the way of some good rant, no? You are aware that Germany has no problem whatsoever with showing Nazi paraphernalia in the context of documentaries or works of art, yes?
Important enough to have millions upon millions of his chosen folk go to the gas chamber and burn in the ovens, not by their free will, but by the free will of others. Yeah, nice one, God. Great show of principle there. Now please GET THE FUCK OUT OF THIS UNIVERSE.
To put it into context - must a parent always intervene in their child's life? Or must the parent fill said life with senseless, meaningless, cruel, dehumanizing suffering, so that the child learns nothing but dies in abject agony and pain without sense or reason? That's what the god you are imagining is doing. If that one happens to be real, I gladly side with Satan, because he's the only moral figure in the whole tale by rebelling against that sick fuck. For whatever reason.

Nah, the real question to ask is whether bogosort or bozosort is less efficient... That shows the true wizard.
Nah, I can still sit on my porch and yell at the kids. I'll join you in a couple of months, I guess.

I am pretty sure they'd just nail him to cross or something like that in that case...

You got it wrong. Cube farms are the daftest idea ever.
Easy. Going ahead at 24h/d, steady rate. Just gimme a few years.

Well, he listens to experts and spends his cash accordingly, while Jenny McCarthy talks out of her arse. See the difference?
