Hardness isn’t the best thing to have in armor. In fact, extreme hardness means extreme brittleness.

Tensile strength is more desirable in armor. That’s the sort of strength that a string or rope, or Kevlar will have.

Those can stretch a bit before breaking.

Kevlar will stretch a bit when catching a bullet, this does a few things, but importantly it slows the bullet before stopping it.

So this new material will likely show extreme tensile strength rather than hardness.

Notch was primed for that shit long before Minecraft took off. He posted early builds to 4chan, and was an active shitposter there.

The money just made him stop paying attention to anything else.

Yup, first and foremost, figure out your gameplay loops.

Get that right and you can pretty it all up later.

2009, that’s about the time that smartphones were really taking off.

Chrome on Android and Safari on Apple now make up almost 90% of all internet browsing.

Engage the core.

The time when they had to upload a virus to the Packlad ship.

Burger King just hasn’t died yet.

Vaporization would certainly slow the material. It’s transitioning kinetic energy into thermal.

Also, the vaporized iron would disperse outward rather than stay coherent.

Steam isn’t a publicly traded company. Which means they can focus on customers and not investors.

Yeah. No one cares if you’re rambling in a comment. Just be interesting enough that someone can pause their doom scrolling to read it.

I personally have about 5 subjects where I can chime in with fun (to me) little facts.

Or essays on the subject…

I’m not sure where they got those numbers.

All nuclear waste produced to date isn’t 500-1500 cubic meters.

As to storage. Just bury it again. We dug it up, we can bury it. There are a few places that are currently doing just that.

Or, here a wild idea. Just burn the waste. It’s something like 90% unburned fuel, just reprocess it and burn it.

More of a global depression after these yahoos purposefully crash the economy.

The plan is to repeal it first, and then figure out what to do from there.

Probably whatever makes the most money for insurance companies.

Except, even then, an average coal plant will release more radioactive material over its lifetime than Fukushima did.

It’s just Chernobyl that you have to top. And even then there are coal plants that come close.

Now, it’s not apples to apples. Coal plants release uranium and thorium. Not ceasium and strontium.

But yeah, never go swimming in a coal plant ash pit. For more than the obvious reasons.

Adding more radiation to tobacco. Sure.

But slightly serious here. The actual mechanism of about 75% of tobacco related cancer, is the fact that tobacco leaves bioaccumulate natural radioactive elements from the soil.

If you smoke, you have radioactive lead and polonium in your lungs.

Molten salt?

We can then use compressed CO2 in the place of steam to drive the turbine.

Is blue sky federated? I thought it was another closed garden. If slightly more open than Twitter.

The definition is that Tesla is shit.

They’re selling a spotty lane assist as Self Driving when it is not.

Other companies are selling actual self-driving cars, (even if those companies are fucking up as well) but Tesla is nowhere near that level of autonomy. All because Musk cheaped out on the sensor package.

Teslas will never be self-driving, because they literally cannot detect the road and obstacles with just their little camera setup.

They should not be allowed to call it self-driving, or autopilot, or anything else that implies that you can take your hands off the steering wheel.

but you need to supervise it because you are both responsible and because it’s not perfect

Not self-driving then. Words have meanings.

Then it’s not “Full self driving”. It’s at best lane assistance, but I wouldn’t trust that either.

Elon needs to shut the fuck up about self driving and maybe issue a full recall, because he’s going to get people killed.
