I'm guessing he's referring to a gun-type device, so this is possibly true with some caveats. For starters, it'd be heavily dependent upon the fissile material.For example weapons grade plutonium probably wouldn't actually work as it's so radioactive it'd go prompt-critical as the tamper approaches the plug and heat up considerably, dropping the rate of emission below that required for supercriticality (so it'd just sit there cycling through criticality-induced heating -> cooling -> heating, letting off bursts of Cerenkov radiation all the while). You'd want some weak poo poo like U-235 and even then it'd be "uhhh maybe" territory, at least at a first guess.

i think this guy knows more nuclear physics than anyone else here. I've been trying to learn or understand fundamentals of nuclear reactions and with 2 years of a BSc., from a decade ago, i cant make heads or tails of this wizard poo poo.

Still my favourite thing to read about when I'm up early drinking coffee with my cats while my wife sleeps.

I recommend checking out the book The Making of the Atomic Bomb by Richard Rhodes. Seeing as this is the capitalism thread, I encourage you to get it from your library.

It’s easier to recycle the wrapper than the straw and recycling facilities handle wrappers better than straws.

It’s not perfect but it’s not as dumb as that meme suggests.

They're not looking for honest answers, they're looking for people smart enough to answer them correctly.

I scored the lowest in my company for moral aptitude on a site entry test because I figured the giant multinational company would have a decent algorithm for detecting people who were just lying about everything to get the job. I had to retake it and just answered like a nerd robot, even to poo poo like 'I have never taken anything home from a place of work, even just a pencil' and scored the highest the company ever had. Lol, nothing matters.

They're looking for stupid, terminally honest people with no imagination or devious shitheads who're smart enough to tick all the boxes so they can avoid tripping insurance.

I once went to a temp agency interview, and I got the lowest score of all time on their questionnaire. I answered dead honestly to their lovely questions. They were like "in your experience, left unsupervised, bad employees will steal from work." well, ya. I worked in grocery stores all high school. "most employees are simply working for a pay check" well, ya. I've only worked poo poo jobs, so or course.

Luckily the woman saw I was too drat smart for their test. I got their best placement and have leveraged it into 17 years of employment, making senior management. Those tests are poo poo.

According to a googlin' it's 2.9% "payment processor" fee plus a flat $0.30 per donation. Apparently if you're a registered nonprofit that payment processor fee goes up to 7.9% because gently caress you
