[16:33:31] + Gentoo/rizon linuxuser, What do you expect when they love sucking up to the CIA?

[16:34:54] + Gentoo/rizon I thought that Pine Gap just contained a bunch of glowers and spying apparatuses, not nukes?

[16:35:01] + Gentoo/rizon Evidence for nukes?

[16:35:57] + Gentoo/rizon Where are they stationed then?

[16:37:03] + Gentoo/rizon Which ones?

[16:37:38] + Gentoo/rizon It's kind of a long way, I'm not sure how strategic missiles that take ages to come at you are.

[16:38:14] + Gentoo/rizon They're targeting Sydneg?

[16:39:54] + Gentoo/rizon I'm pretty sure it's closer if you send the missiles over the north pole.

[16:41:55] + Gentoo/rizon Don't seem to see any nuke launch trapdoors in the satellite image?

[16:49:05] + Gentoo/rizon Nukes really don't last that long in storage - you need to either revamp or upgrade them after 30 years at most.

[16:52:16] + Gentoo/rizon The computers that control the nukes are not the nukes themselves.

[16:53:09] + Gentoo/rizon The computers last just fine, the issue is the fusing - you can't be sure if it'll work properly (instead of fizzling etc) after all that time.

[16:55:09] + Gentoo/rizon Australia doesn't have any nuclear subs though?

[16:55:32] + Gentoo/rizon Just crappy diesel ones that aren't very good.

[16:56:50] + Gentoo/rizon It'll take them at least 10 years to actually get the subs here.

[16:56:57] + Gentoo/rizon *there

[16:57:46] + Gentoo/rizon Frenchies seething.

[16:59:36] + Gentoo/rizon It's not a nuclear reactor.

[17:00:26] + Gentoo/rizon It's contains a limited amount of radioactive material that doesn't require active cooling that isn't used for boiling water.

[17:00:40] + Gentoo/rizon Rather it's used for stuff like doping Silicon.

[17:00:47] + Gentoo/rizon *It contains

[17:01:51] + Gentoo/rizon I was thinking of another thing.

[17:02:15] + Gentoo/rizon The earthquake wasn't the problem at Fukushima.

[17:02:31] + Gentoo/rizon The huge Tsunami that got over the seawall was the problem.

[17:04:16] + Gentoo/rizon I was indeed thinking of OPAL. They stopped using it as a reactor and use it to dope Silicon and produce radioisotopes now.

[17:05:08] + Gentoo/rizon The hundreds of reactors that have worked without issue show it can be done safely and effectively, aside from two very old, terrible designs.

[17:05:41] + Gentoo/rizon Fukushima sounds really bad, but it wasn't really, as like 1 person died from it during the cleanup from Leukemia.

[17:06:34] + Gentoo/rizon That's mostly during the processing, so just shreking the workers and contaminating the processing building.

[17:07:49] + Gentoo/rizon If Fukushima had more generators placed in a better location, or a seawall of sufficient height, it wouldn't have happened.

[17:08:28] + Gentoo/rizon Historic tsunami heights were known, but the sea wall wasn't built to historic tsunami heights.

[17:08:47] + Gentoo/rizon Depleted uranium isn't radioactive at all - you can store it wherever and use it to shield from radiation really.

[17:09:01] + Gentoo/rizon You're thinking of spent uranium.

[17:10:05] + Gentoo/rizon That's stuff is barely spent, it's just contamination with reaction killing elements that means not giving as much heat as wanted.

[17:10:34] + Gentoo/rizon Same.

[17:10:55] + Gentoo/rizon You still need to actively cool it, unless you don't mind it melting at the bottom of the 500m deep hole in the desert.

[17:11:46] + Gentoo/rizon The reason they don't just dump it is because it's quite valuable and you can just process it to get rid of the contaminants.

[17:12:33] + Gentoo/rizon Currently it's cheaper just to mine Uranium though, although eventually maybe processing the "waste" will become cheaper - that's why they're keeping it around.

[17:12:47] + Gentoo/rizon The greens protested against OPAL with "nuclear never safe" lol.

[17:13:03] + Gentoo/rizon !meow

[17:13:23] + Gentoo/rizon China actually built a reactor that works off "waste" fuel

[17:14:13] + Gentoo/rizon Nvm how much radioactive gas those coal plants pump out.

[17:15:23] + Gentoo/rizon Fly ash contains far more radioactive materials than all nuclear waste and that's allowed to go into landfill or into roads (a lot less concentrated, but still).

[17:16:13] + Gentoo/rizon If you're next to it sure, but at least nuclear "waste" has to be dealt with safely.

[17:16:15] + Gentoo/rizon It's like how proprietary software has an iron grip on Australia.

[17:16:50] + Gentoo/rizon Ehh, UV is lower energy than beta or gamma radiations.

[17:17:39] + Gentoo/rizon Solar has its place, but one reactor massively beats countless panels.

[17:18:42] + Gentoo/rizon It's a lot, but Solar panels manage to break even after a year or so.

[17:20:19] + Gentoo/rizon Nuclear is in no way efficient, but it pumps out so much goddamn energy even when all the rods are down, it beats any other energy source by far.

[17:21:17] + Gentoo/rizon Only thing better than fission is fusion, but only 5 more years on that.

[17:22:51] + Gentoo/rizon I'm not sure why you would really need amplification.

[17:23:01] + Gentoo/rizon The source audio should really be loud enough.

[17:24:16] + Gentoo/rizon The fric?

[17:25:07] + Gentoo/rizon A shotgun shot is 120dB, wtf.

[17:25:19] + Gentoo/rizon dB is exponential as well.

[17:25:31] + Gentoo/rizon You clearly don't care about your hearing or anyone else.

[17:26:17] + Gentoo/rizon Of course it would.

[17:27:45] + Gentoo/rizon I know the sensation and I can feel the damage.

[17:28:53] + Gentoo/rizon I typically have ear protection on when I go near sound that loud, so no buzzing.

[17:29:15] + Gentoo/rizon Yes, I'm not stupid.

[17:30:36] + Gentoo/rizon You'll go deaf soon.

[17:31:38] + Gentoo/rizon "Our speakers are so loud they'll make you deaf".
