slightly more seriously: lots of lemmy users came from reddit, but mostly from older demographic (because of old reddit phaseout) and more FOSS-oriented, privacy-aware, tech-literate part (because of API shitshow/alternative apps blockage). there's some barrier to entry (choice of instance) that would filter off the least technical users. there are some prominent programming oriented fedi servers (programming.dev, infosec.exchange). lemmy in general seems to be more lefty than reddit, less americacentric, and i guess that over half are linux users. i suspect that because of combination of technical skill and older age (compared to reddit) lots of lemmitors have well paying technical jobs (again compared to reddit) which allows/requires them to live in nicer parts of their countries (not specifically cali)

These are mostly combustion byproducts btw. Mercury emissions come from coal fired powerplants, PCBs are an old and long discontinued type of nonflammable coolant, HCB also isn't even manufactured probably

wtf leaded gasoline is back too? (there are very few other uses for alkyllead compounds and it would be hard to make it accidentally)

These were not supposed to be breeders, but this is only due to agreements that are ignored ny now. Technical capability is there

This sounds like that material would be more useful in high performance radars, not as flash memory

time travel (backwards) would break physics as we know it, what are you talking about lol

These are fast reactors and operate on different principles. The coolant there is sodium and while hard to design and run, it's doable. French had similar reactor but only one and it was shut down. Nice thing about fast reactors is that these can burn even-numbered isotopes of plutonium, useless in water moderated reactor, and give fresh mostly 239Pu plutonium of good quality. weapons grade even, and IAEA doesn't like it. But who cares since nonproliferation is dead anyway?

yeah either that or sometimes that one biologist illegally gene-editing embryos shows up
