wait is this development also related to permanent magnet synchronous generators as found in offshore wind turbines?

Sr-90 that was involved in cases you mention is strong beta emitter, but Pu-238 isn't, it's mostly-alpha emitter, so it'll only get dangerous if somebody ingests it, but it's a piece of ceramic inside a strong case

it's not the type of plutonium that is fissile, 40% of it decayed by now, and it was formed into hard, chemically resistant ceramic in the first place

Catholic practice of adolescent confirmation

this must be country-specific, because the way i know it, it happens at age when people still can be pressured by parents/grandparents (under 15 or so), it's about the only reason why it happens, and it marks the last time they are seen in church before marriage (formal requirement for catholic marriage), if at all (country secularizes and many ditch catholic marriage entirely). there's also very little on the "inside" (you're picking a saint and write an essay on them that nobody reads; unless you want to become a priest, it has absolutely zero bearing on your life)

They’re only about 40% efficient. Boom says the Superpower turbine will be about the same, and it’s up to the customer to bring the turbine up to 60% efficiency. And to limit the pollution and noise.

They also say that there's an future option for carbon capture, but they say a lot of things, this requires small chemical plant and no one is gonna make it work, and these gas turbines will stay just like this without heat recovery system and steam turbines

if these get delivered at all before crusoe craters, that is

i just assumed that mac users simply get a new mac when they run out of space

this is just another iteration of seo aiding in phishing. it sounds insane to me that people trust chatbots and that chatbot provider page is considered in any way "trusted"

that malicious domain is down now btw

it's hacky and wrong. or you could use different hardware, maybe from competition, because result isn't worth electricity it used
