In 1940, Scientific American published an article titled “Don’t Worry—It Can’t Happen” explaining that uranium fission couldn’t sustain a chain reaction - and therefore atomic bombs were nothing to fear. The reaction, they argued, would simply “fizzle out” Five years later,

bob Nov 6, 2025 6:52 AM general

uranium can't sustain a nuclear reaction on its own and the bomb uses an extra charge of plutonium to jumpstart it into being a bomb

TinyBomby Nov 6, 2025 9:33 AM general

Huh, didn’t actually know that, I thought Plutonium came later. Neat.

Spooky Phijkchu Nov 6, 2025 10:15 AM general

It's not true, but it's sort of related to why we use Pu in the first place

Spooky Phijkchu Nov 6, 2025 10:17 AM general

gun-type bombs (which are the ones a semi-educated person can build in their backyard) have the whole supercritical primer thing

Spooky Phijkchu Nov 6, 2025 10:18 AM general

There's a lot of interesting physics related to nuclear reactions, and we really don't understand a lot in regards to the limits of chain-reactions

Spooky Phijkchu Nov 6, 2025 10:20 AM general

because the high school science explanation of neutron cascades doesn't fully satisfy the model of what's happening

Spooky Phijkchu Nov 6, 2025 11:41 PM general

My university published their numbers, they're running their parking lots at a *significant* loss in the most hilarious way

Spooky Phijkchu Nov 6, 2025 11:42 PM general

they spend more money on parking enforcement and ticketing/booting cars then they generate in revenue from tickets and paid parking

Spooky Phijkchu Nov 6, 2025 11:42 PM general

the campus is 100% paid parking, and they sell out of permits every year

Spooky Phijkchu Nov 6, 2025 11:44 PM general

and given how much they were fighting to keep this information private, I give it a week before autists connect the dots and they figure out who is siphoning $1M+ of parking funds for themselves

Phijkchu_Pikachu Nov 6, 2025 11:44 PM general

lol

Phijkchu_Pikachu Nov 6, 2025 11:44 PM general

amazing

Spooky Phijkchu Nov 6, 2025 11:46 PM general

they pay some non-existent company for "parking enforcement" nearly 140% of all parking revenue, not to include the school paying for maintenance/infrastructure and any sort of bus/shuttle services

Spooky Phijkchu Nov 6, 2025 11:46 PM general

so like.... it's just so fucking obvious

Spooky Phijkchu Nov 6, 2025 11:47 PM general

when you're losing millions of dollars a year running a literal parking lot

Spooky Phijkchu Nov 6, 2025 11:47 PM general

something went fucking wrong

Reaper Bird Nov 8, 2025 9:24 AM general

is there a reason why @polu is randomly friending me? I'm not that likeable of a person.

polu Nov 8, 2025 9:25 AM general

I thought we were closer than that...

brave of you to come forward with this. I too am a victim of a random friending from polu. Stay strong! ✊

It snowed here already

TinyBomby Nov 10, 2025 6:57 PM general

what's snow?

TinyBomby Nov 10, 2025 6:57 PM general

don't think that exists here

mint Nov 10, 2025 10:58 PM general

we got snow starting the 1st. not much last week, but been snowing now 3 days in a row

mint Nov 10, 2025 11:00 PM general

winter is finally here, gonna be a good one this year

mint Nov 10, 2025 11:00 PM general

too many awful winters last 5 years

too many awful winters last 5 years

I think it was 2019 but I think of that one winter where it snowed 3 feet in a day and US-41 shut down. It took us 3 days to get out of our neighborhood lol

Kribbles Nov 11, 2025 8:26 AM general

mint Nov 11, 2025 9:03 AM general

2019 is the 5 years ago i was refering to yes

mint Nov 11, 2025 9:04 AM general

2020 wasnt bad

mint Nov 11, 2025 9:04 AM general

and eveey year we get a good storm or too. bjt they are sayibg consistent high snow this year. very excited

Kribbles Nov 11, 2025 9:06 AM general

I definitely get jealous seeing the snowfall there, but also my lower back loves the winters here

mint Nov 11, 2025 9:08 AM general

im always jealous of the keweenaw. yall get better snow than we do, protected by the high elevation to our west

Kribbles Nov 11, 2025 9:13 AM general

I have always love the aesthetic of major cities being pummeled with snow. I got to see Boston hit with a nor'easter and it's just so fun to see a big city grind to a halt.

mint Nov 11, 2025 9:19 AM general

solution, turn calumet into the major city it was always supposed to be

Kribbles Nov 11, 2025 9:19 AM general

That would be such a fascinating alternative history were Calumet to be the capital of Michigan.

mint Nov 11, 2025 9:20 AM general

ik ik

Kribbles Nov 11, 2025 9:20 AM general

It was going to be the capital, right?

mint Nov 11, 2025 9:20 AM general

yup

Kribbles Nov 11, 2025 9:20 AM general

Calumet is such a nice city. Oh, Mint, I highly recommend an airbnb in Calumet, hold on.

mint Nov 11, 2025 9:20 AM general

it was a big city once a upon a time

mint Nov 11, 2025 9:20 AM general

oh huge, genuinely could use it

Kribbles Nov 11, 2025 9:21 AM general

Yes, during the copper country mine.

mint Nov 11, 2025 9:21 AM general

gonna be skiing in boho lots this yeat i hope

Kribbles Nov 11, 2025 9:22 AM general

The Laurium Manor Inn (sorry, Laurium, not Calumet, whatever)

mint Nov 11, 2025 9:22 AM general

same thing

Kribbles Nov 11, 2025 9:22 AM general

You can just book a fucking mansion and live there. My mom did it and she loved it.

mint Nov 11, 2025 9:22 AM general

theres a third city thats also same thing, blanking on it

Kribbles Nov 11, 2025 9:22 AM general

You sleep in a museum, it was so cool.

Kribbles Nov 11, 2025 9:23 AM general

Osceola and Taramack. Never heard of Osceola, though. I know Taramack.

i slept at the childrens museum here in marquette once

mint Nov 11, 2025 9:25 AM general

we threw a big party in it too while we had the place lol

mint Nov 11, 2025 9:25 AM general

deal with the owners was wed leave it cleaner than we found it

Kribbles Nov 11, 2025 9:26 AM general

This was the nor'easter in Boston. Honestly, I got my ass kicked by the storm and I had to pull over and wait it out lol. My ex was mad at me for not believing her storms on the east coast can get bad, but honestly I'd never had a bad one here before or since.
