It'd be like, being assaulted or a blob fish or some poo poo. Money/power must be one hell of an aphrodisiac for some OH this is a bad snipe. 415 is the 10th Iccanobif number, where each term is the reverse of the sum of the previous two numbers.

Tenebrais posted:Isn't there someone who points this out every year, who gets totally ignored? They probably have someone quietly explain to them the maths of a situation in which everyone was accumulating capital. Then they either reconsider their ideology, or their morality. I mean, it is actually just about viable, in the short term, to have a situation where maybe 30% of the population are accumulating capital, Thatcher’s insight was that you can use that 30% as a base from which to win fairish democratic elections. The thing is, it requires massive expenditure to maintain that as an economic equilibrium in the face of economies of scale. It is not something the invisible hand of the free market is going to deliver, because the free market can or by itself care about maintaining a Tory majority any more than it can care about climate change.

You can't sell capitalism to people who can't accumulate capital, so we need to trick people into believing that they can. Do it harder I mean.

jaete posted:Also, Jesus, hydrogen in place of gas sounds like even more of a loving disaster than gas already is. Is that an actual serious plan? What the gently caress I actually know someone who's working on investigative work into switching to Hydrogen. Yes Hydrogen gas is more explosive, but because they're such light molecules if you have a leak they disperse VERY quickly and escape out of your house through the tiniest gaps. Heavier gases hang around more and actually present more of an explosion risk even if the gas itself is less explosive.

My new place (not moved yet) is heated only by an air source heat pump but this will apparently will work down to -20 C.

It amazes me how expensive air source hydronic heat pumps are compared to normal air conditioners. Like you can get a split AC unit that will do both hot and cold for about a tenth of the price of an air source hydronic unit that will only do hot water but will do it for taps and heating.

WhatEvil posted:I actually know someone who's working on investigative work into switching to Hydrogen. But the only ways of getting it are extracting it from oil and natural gas deposits, or electrolysis - we really don't want to be doing any more of the former and there's no point in doing the latter when we could just, you know, deliver the electricity and use that for cooking and heating. Hydrogen makes a sort of sense for fueling vehicles because of the speed and (relative) ease of refuelling, I just don't see the advantage of using it as a replacement for static applications we can already do with electricity.

You can get it by spraying water onto hot coals, but I'm not sure we want to do more of that really, even though it is a clean process (by coal standards).

Power storage and off the grid stuff? It's a lot easier to store hydrogen than it is to store electricity. Not that most of that applies to heating homes, unless those homes are cut off from the grid for some reason.

Isn't hydrogen the only thing that successfully blocks some forms of radiation (neutrons?). But nuclear power plants just choose to let workers get exposed to it briefly instead and do the work in shifts because hydrogen is so stupidly flammable that the guys who harvest the power of the apocalypse for a living think it's too dangerous?

I guess there are different "grades" of geothermal things? If this is ground heat exhange heating, or bergvärme / maalämpö in swe/fin as is commonly used here to heat houses, then it's not just for equilibrium but actual heating, I don't know how the heat pump actually works, but the system allows it to heat stuff up to 50 degrees C or so using just the little heat that is in the ground water, some kind of clever system using a compressor. Most boreholes are 120-200 meters deep. COP is around 4-5 on our model. This system can also work by laying down lines of heat exhanging pipe shallowly around the yard. The pro is you don't have to drill an expensive deep borehole, the con is you have to dig up your yard, and it needs to be big enough too.

Yeah, I've heard of plans to pair up electrolysis plants with existing natural gas power stations for load balancing - it's not as efficient as other forms of storage but it does allow you to leverage a load of existing infrastructure.

Guavanaut posted:Neutrons are best blocked by stuff with lots of hydrogen atoms, like paraffin waxes, or heavy cheap dense stuff like concrete or packed earth. Hydrogen gas would be a bad blocker, but it's useful for neutron scattering experiments. I heard hard materials was bad for that because the neutrons just ricochets off them and becomes even angrier.

Light molecules are better for stopping neutrons, but everything will do it. Your neutron shielding material will be heavy in hydrogen for this purpose, but it needn't be molecular hydrogen, it can be water or hydrocarbon polymers. Given the really strict radiation limits nuclear workers are subject to, I doubt there's much in terms of intentional exposure like that. Where's Honky Dong Country when you need him?

They can ricochet off heavy elements, but they don't get more angry in the process. They just bounce.
