Interesting Info


I'm not generally a fan of the X22 report, I think the author is way too optimistic, and I still believe this, I don't believe those of us he refers to as the "patriots" are anywhere near guaranteed victory. I still think we are very much in the thick of this whole thing, but the info he releases in this episode does provide some room for hope. I also believe in the Bible and ultimately, God will prevail over Satan, Good will prevail over Evil. And evil will be cast into the pit of hell and sealed there forever. But I suspect we've got a lot more pain to go through before it gets to that point.

Russia Molten Salt Breeder Reactors in Commercial Operation for 60 Years


He suggests issues with Russias BN-800 Reactor, their data would indicate otherwise: gen-4.org/gif/upload/docs/appl…
in reply to Nanook

The problem with Sodium is that it violently reacts with air. Japan already experienced this with an experimental reactor that used sodium as a coolant and experienced a plumbing leak. Ended up with a difficult to put out fire. Much prefer molten salt, even though the material corrosion is more of an issue, fires do to exposure to air, is not. It's unfortunate that they turned off comments on this video, I think this is really chickenshit on their part.
in reply to Nanook

For the record, I'm not an advocate of small modular reactors if they are of the pebble bed variety, which the majority are. The reason for this is the fuel in such reactors is encased in silicon carbide which is almost impossible to melt down or chemically process for fuel reprocessing so you end up with a lot of very long term waste, with actinides that last millions of years, that you can't recycle and burn. I am very much in favor of molten salt breeders that can burn the actinides leaving only short term fission products for waste. The big challenge with these reactors are materials, you need materials that can withstand a corrosive environment. But they're not significantly pressurized so a failure isn't the end of the world.

Global Warming - Bullshit is Warm Right? That's the only warming I perceive.


Genesis 9:7 In-Context

6 “Whoever sheds human blood, by humans shall their blood be shed; for in the image of God has God made mankind. 7 As for you, be fruitful and increase in number; multiply on the earth and increase upon it.”

I'm not opposed to doing things that provide us with a better energy source for the future, I am violently opposed to ending existing energy sources before a replacement is in place, condemning people to poverty and starvation.

David Bowie and Bing Crosby do Little Drummer Boy


When I was younger, I loathed the time leading up to Christmas, all the Christmas carols taking over the radio. And then I went to prison, and there I was invited to go to the church chapel and I experienced God's spirit like I never had before, it was absolutely palpable. I found joy in singing praises to the Lord, and though I've been out for more than a decade, that joy has never left me.

Josh Groban - O Holy Night


I ran across this version several years ago, he has the most dynamic remarkable voice that I tear up listening to him sing every time.

Last night it was 15.5F, Now it is 22F


I live in Shoreline, WA, grew up in Seattle WA, have lived within 15 miles of this location for 64 years. The COLDEST night I've ever experienced here was 13F, so last night we were within 2-1/2 degrees of the coldest I've ever experienced here. Yea Global Warming my fucking ass. I don't know if Bill Gates and Klaus Schwab are some sort of alien beings trying to freeze us off our planet or just what, but I do know last summer glaciers GREW in Greenland DURING THE SUMMER, last summer was also the coldest winter in Antarctica ever on record, and this Global Warming bullshit is nothing more than intentionally creating artificial scarcity to kill the 99% and remove their remaining wealth to the top 1%.

Friendica.Eskimo.Com Upgraded to Friendica 'Giant Rhubarb' 2023.03-dev - 1503


A couple of notables with regards to this upgrade.

If you upgrade, it does NOT put the site into maintenance mode during the upgrade, and if you try to access the admin page before it has completed, it will tell you the upgrade failed, but this is not the case, it just hasn't finished the database update yet.

A notable change to the user interface is that they've separated the Moderator and Administrative functions into two distinct interfaces now.

Kernel Upgrade Christmas Eve 11pm-Midnight


Barring large amounts of snow on the roads, I will be doing a kernel upgrade this Christmas Eve starting at 11pm. Not really the thing I want to be doing on Christmas Eve but the present kernel has shown some instability that lead to one machine locking up.

This will impact all of Eskimo North’s paid and free services, including virtual private servers, shell servers, web hosting, e-mail, and our fediverse instances, friendica.eskimo.com/, hubzilla.eskimo.com/, nextcloud.eskimo.com/, and yacy.eskimo.com/.

With the exception of Yacy which always takes longer because it rebuilds the index at start-up, the rest of the services should be not down for more than about ten minutes unless a server fails to shut down properly.

Fuel from Seawater (carbon dioxide in Seawater)


Again, why can't we do this for non-naval transportation fuels? And I wonder if this would work on demand, i.e., can you use it with renewable but intermittent sources such as solar and wind when it is producing surplus?

I do not like this particular design because they are not continuously removing fission products. This means the drain tank must be able to dissipate large amounts of heat from decaying fission products in the event of an emergency shutdown. Much better to use a fuel cycle where you are continuously removing the fission products. Also requires active cooling rather than just a melt plug for emergency shut down. This leaves you open to Fukashima type failures.

Global Warming My Ass


Here in Shitline (just seven miles North of Libtardsville Seattle), we're experiencing another round of "global warming". The last snow hasn't melted, I haven't gotten the tree branch that penetrated my roof out and the hole it made repaired, and yet we've just started on a second round of snow. I hear they are expecting snow in Texas again as well. Yep, all that CO2 is really heating the planet. Me thinks the only heat is the hot air coming out of the WEF and all of their shills.

Only problem with this episode of Atlantis is that the visual cortex, otherwise known as the occipital lobe, is in the back of the brain and where they are cutting is the prefrontal cortex responsible for higher reasoning not vision but Atlantis was always a bit heavy on the "Fi" and not so heavy on the "Sci".
