It kind of makes the FFVII house look like a well reasoned idea, in that it was basically an exploitative cult and not a deluded attempt at social justice.

I like that the "low income" rooms all went to poets. Okay we'll let in a few poor people, but they need to be cool poor people.

The best part of capitalism is the alienation and never having to interact with other human beings, so this just sounds like the worst of both worlds Tiggum posted:Forget "commune", they don't even know what "free" means. Taxing people to provide public services, this is more like a social-democratic commune at best Phlegmish has a new favorite as of 15:13 on Dec 19, 2020 |

Ah sounds like they're having an easier time of it than Western Australia this year e: the latter probably have hyper-aggressive birds (that are on fire) flying around while dropping huge venomous spiders on them

There is a trail of shipping containers lining the ocean floor amongst the shipping lanes. Between the difficulty of bringing them up, and the value of the items inside, they just leave them.

Not sure why fresh mined Lead has unstable isotopes, and these ignots have all decayed, but that is above my paygrade. For the metal containers, they are actually becoming mini-reefs and ecosystems. Coral is growing on the older ones, and that draws in other creatures, which draws in other creatures, etc etc etc

Johnny Aztec posted:That is really neat! Uranium is found in small amounts essentially everywhere in the ground - naturally occurring, not due to nuclear weapons or anything like that. There are a couple of radioactive isotopes of lead in the uranium decay chain, so accompanying that uranium will be a particular amount of radioactive lead. The radioactive lead decays, but is also constantly being replenished, so it exists in a steady state where the quantity is fairly constant. This radioactive lead will get mixed in with any lead ore in the ground, so even after you refine it into pure lead, a portion of that lead will be radioactive. However, once it's removed from the presence of uranium, there will no longer be any new production of radioactive lead. After enough time, all of the radioactive lead will decay and there will only be pure lead - the end of the uranium decay chain is a stable isotope of lead. So you could just make a lead ingot and wait for all the radioactive lead to disappear - but the half-life of lead-210 is 22.2 years. So you'll be waiting a while! But fortunately, Roman lead ingots that have been sitting at the bottom of the sea for a couple thousand years have been removed from the presence of uranium for long enough that all of the radioactive stuff is gone. The radioactivity of modern lead isn't terribly huge, but it's too much for very sensitive physics experiments, so this "low-background lead" is really nice to have. edit: There's also low-background steel, harvested from sunken pre-nuclear warships, which lacks the cobalt-60 and other crap that got into the air thanks to nuclear testing. Generally from scuttled ships, though, no one is tearing apart war graves for physics experiments. BattleMaster has a new favorite as of 21:14 on Dec 24, 2020 |

Also because that contamination is all airborne I believe it's relatively easy to filter out and make more low-background steel, at moderate cost. Lead we're much more stuck with.

I believe I read that the demand for Pre-WW2 steel has been dropping because (due to the passage of time) the radioactivity has decayed enough that things are returning to Pre-WW2 levels? Okay, instead of me just regurgitating some half-remembered line, I went and did a quick google: quote:So where do you get steel, which is a man-made material, that was made before 1945? Primarily from the ocean, in sunken ships from WWII. They weren’t exposed to the atomic age air when they were made, and haven’t been recycled and mixed with newer radioactive steel. We literally cut the ships apart underwater, scrape off the barnacles, and reuse the steel. So, background radiation levels are dropping, and will eventually return to Pre-WW2 levels(barring any new Atomic events, of course)
