This time next year, President Trump moves back into the Whitehouse...

“You know what uranium is, right? It’s this thing called nuclear weapons. And other things. Like lots of things are done with uranium. Including some bad things. But nobody talks about that.”

I'll just leave that there.

You evidently understand nothing about wespons grade uranium.

I'll just leave that there.

Let's not forget Kamala kept people in prison in Calizuela past their release dates so the State could benefit from their labour.

No she didn't.

She tried, unsuccessfully, to prevent the early release of some prisoners. Seriously fella, these claims are ridiculously easy to check.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kamala_Harris?wprov=sfla1

In September 2014, Harris's office argued unsuccessfully in a court filing against the early release of prisoners, citing the need for inmate firefighting labor

Nothing to do with the firefighting teams.

I wish they had live-streamed Jill's meltdown after the DNC decided Joe was quitting...

Surely avoiding tax in that amounts is bad for people lower down the chain? so, yes, it's pretty bad!!

Sometimes it's illegal to avoid taxes.
Trump org tax fraud

It may be different in the USA but in the UK avoiding tax is always legal. Evading tax is illegal. "Avoid" and "evade" have two very different legal definitions.

I stand corrected. Yes, his business entities have been found guilty of tax evasion. Among other issues. Trump University - Trump was found guilty of operating a company without the require business license. Trump foundation found guilty of fraud with charity scam. He's a bit of a scumbag.

You do realize that Slenver is merely quoting Trump, don't you?

I’m no wespons expert, no.

It is true though, you can do some bad things with Uranium.

Apart from making bigly explosions? covfefe

[Mr. Dazzle]

Are explosions intrinsically bad though?

Oops.

Project Gnome vented radioactive steam over the very press gallery that was called to confirm its safety. The next blast, a 104-kiloton detonation at Yucca Flat, Nevada, displaced 12 million tons of soil and resulted in a radioactive dust cloud that rose 12,000 feet [3,700 m] and plumed toward the Mississippi River. Other consequences – blighted land, relocated communities, tritium-contaminated water, radioactivity, and fallout from debris being hurled high into the atmosphere – were ignored and downplayed until the program was terminated in 1977, due in large part to public opposition.

[Mr. Dazzle]

It was a really nice hole they made though

My favourite one was the idea to nuke "Panama Canal 2".

This is my favourite, we could be exploring the solar system properly with these.

THere's a good book about that, which I completely forget the name of. I borrowed it at work years ago, we had a library of books about the nuclear industry (what with being a company in that bizz ) and that made the cut for inclusion.

Gonna bug me now - I can't see it on the list of references in that ^ wiki article. It was full of interviews with the people who were actually involved.

I used to have a load of Scientific Book Club books, there were quite a few being really positive and gung ho about nuclear technology.

[MingtheMerciless]

Oh and for really big bangs you need to add lithium deuteride to the uranium (fission bomb max size is about a megaton before the weapon blows itself apart without fissioning all its “explosive metal”). Fusion weapons have no theoretical limit but need a fission bomb to light them off and on a planetary use weapon there’s no point going over 50 megatons, anything over that and the excess energy lifts a chunk of atmosphere and directs the blast upwards (path of least resistance). Also at the multimegaton scale the device is a 3 stage fission-fusion-fission weapon and is very “dirty”.

Great book , I think I’ve got it in the loft. If you want I can dig it out and loan it.

I look forward to these things being tested again in the next few months

Real live data on what a tactical nuke does.
