puts hair on ya chest

Never forget the future that was taken from us.
- Of course, mother!
  
  Thank you Junior. Don't forget to wear you shoes when you go play in the asbestos pit at school. I put two cigarettes in your lunchbox you can have one at lunch if your teacher says its okay and one on the way to home after your shift at the radium watch painting factory.
- It’ll come back eventually unless fusion takes over. The power density promises are simply too attractive.
  
  Never mind that pesky burning taste, imagine the power savings!
  
  The mining and processing of the "fuel" is not. The cost of the plants and the risks neither. That's why nuclear is slowly losing to regenerative.
  Btw, from the World Nuclear Industry Status Report 2024 > Key Insights:
  Russia is also playing a key role in the supply of fuel services, involving uranium mining, conversion, and fuel assembly manufacturing for Soviet-designed VVER pressurized water reactors, of which there are 19 in the E.U. and 15 in Ukraine. International sanctions have had little effect on the business. On the contrary, the share of Russian supply of natural uranium, conversion, and enrichment services to the E.U. all increased between pre-war year 2021 and 2023; VVER fuel imports doubled.
  And you can see all of my points confirmed in that report.
- Thank you Green Peace /s
  Bunch of short sighted uninformed hippies
  
  Funded by fossil fuels. The scariest concept to a capitalist is something being too cheap to matter.
  
  A lot of terrible things have been done by good people with good intentions who had no idea what the fuck they were talking about.

Feeling snackish for an

W A F E R !
- and finally, monsieur, a waferthin mint
- All wafers, cookies, chips, biscuits, crispbread and hardtack I've ever seen have been atomic.
  I struggle to imagine one that wouldn't be.
  
  You don’t eat baryonic baked goods?
- I bet it tastes as good as yellow cake
  
  Or yellow snow

“Mother, why do all my teeth feel itchy?”
- "It's because you haven't been smoking enough. Here, smoke these two before dinner."
- Spit out the wafer.
  
  The Children of the Atom deem you a HERETIC! Embrace the holy atom!
- I'm so out of my depth in this thread. Is this a real side effect of radiation?
  
  I can’t find it now, but I’d swear to having read an anecdote from someone working with radiation who reported tingling teeth during exposure.
  It definitely does a lot of nasty things to the body.

"Timmy you left the aluminum foil on the atomic wafer!!"
"By golly Tim you shattered space time and opened a black hole!"
"My apologies mother and father, I have been absent of clear cognition."

Too 👏 cheap 👏 to 👏 meter
- Given the up-front cost of any kind of reactor, I don’t think the concept of a usage-based electric bill goes away as long as it’s corporations competing for customers. Maybe eventually it would be like ISPs where it’s a flat fee depending on the size of your connection. I guess it could be totally unmetered then.
  Like so many things, it gets a lot simpler if it’s the government supplying the service.
  
  It's not too cheap to meter even when provided as a public service. Nuclear is more expensive than battery + solar, more expensive than wind, more expensive than coal
  "Too cheap to meter" was a lie that ignored costs of safety and decommissioning.
- More people die from wind turbines and hydro than from nuclear on a per tWh basis. If we actually want to save lives we would require higher levels of safety standards on fossil fuels that are magnitudes more dangerous than nuclear

Look at his face, he's 100% gonna eat that.
- Uranium has so many calories, he will never have to eat again
  
  duuude how many degrees celsius do you think one uranium wafer could heat one litre of water by??
- There's a timeliness where tiktok kids are eating atomic wafers as a challenge.
- It's literally called wafer. Can't blame him

This post was brought to you by Isaac Asimov's Foundation gang.
- Atomic wafers made by the techo-church-state? Or have I got this back to front and this is how the non-technical society irradiates its children?
  
  I think this refers to everyday household items being powered by some unspecified kind of uranium engine.

Wait a sec, I was told American's don't use the metric system...
- The imperial system doesn't have any electromagnetism units that I'm aware of, so they borrow from SI.
  
  We can use horsepower hours if you’d like. Or BTU
  
  The Watt predates the SI itself. SI borrows the Watt much as it dues with other units.
- We also don't use apostrophes for plural words.
  
  Plenty of us do, unfortunately!
  
  Speak for yourselv’es
- You were lied to. We use a mix of both, just like the UK.
- Do you know which comics is it?

She's right there. This is literally a power play to force her kid to do a pointless task.
- "pick up that can"
  
  Of course, mother!

- That way you would create more trash.
  They lived making lots of "trash" bcs they loved discarding all the trash.
- Consumers gotta consume

Do you want to be Malons? This is how you become Malons. /s
- What show is that?
  
  Star Trek Voyager
  
  Walker Texas Ranger

Clean! Safe!! Too cheap to meter!!!
/pffft

Kilowat
- wat?
  
  Kilowatt. I don't expect Americans to know how to spell it. The American unit is horsepower or BTU

Atomic Wafer Challenge

I passed out from the flood of Fallout references that just rushed into my brain.

Well, if you're a Stalker, it may put hair on your kids бляать.
- Gotta power the family brain scorcher, for home defensse

About the hairy chest (don't worry, it's harmless).
- Great novel "The Thin Man" by Dashiell Hammett.
  After the narrator's wife does something particularly brave a witness remarks admiringly "That's a dame with hair on her chest!"
- never, ever, ~~shake~~ give a baby blackroot

Putting it in my underwear later...

UWU

Dude spent way too much time drawing those chesticles

Wonder if a convenient wall mount would even be worth it, isn't a golf ball sized pellet enough for a lifetime of consumer usage or something?
- That's Thorium that will do that.
  With Uranium, a reactor only extracts 5% of the enemy in the pellet and the 95% left is called "waste".
  
  Well I rather prefer 95% of my enemies be left as waste and only deal with 5% of them!
