Sure. He lied about his wealth, and if he takes this money to pay his bills, that’s just more confirmation that he lied. Hammer home the message about him being a liar. Attack ads on Trump will be a rich medium this summer. I would mock his new sneaker line. “Does it give you enough agility to dodge indictments?”

I was just pointing it out. The context of the thread is sea level rise in time, so knowing the variation in time is relevant. And the OP has yet to engaged with other participants, so who knows what their intent was?

TFG raiding his political coffers, and that of the RNC (now that Lara Trump is in charge) means less money spent on actual campaigns.

Linear in concentration. As Bufofrog notes, this is not linear in time.

My reading of the OP is not about the content, it's the fact that they are full-page rather than banner. I don't know if that's affected by which browser you use.

I used numbers for borosilicate glass (like the old pyrex) which is smaller.

What he owes is even more, because they charge interest. It comes to more than $450 million https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2024/02/16/donald-trump-real-estate-fraud/72267145007/

When did he say this? As MigL said, context matters. Also, are these exact quotes, or are you changing the message by paraphrasing?

Depends on whether you've chosen to use a dynamic or static IP address. I know on my mac you can do both. If you have a dynamic IP address, you can't change it manually, but there is an option to renew the DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) lease. In Windows you go to the command prompt and type ipconfig /renew

I suspect your issue is due to the thermal expansion; various kinds of steel will expand probably 10-20 times as much as the glass used in stovetops. If it's constrained in any way, it will tend to buckle. Being thin probably doesn't help.

Not so much. Fundamental particles are point-like. Physical size has little meaning in QM; it’s the interactions that matter. EM radiation requires no medium; electric and magnetic fields can and do exist in a vacuum.

Yes. He-4 is doubly magic and so is O-16 (filled shells at n=2, 8, 20, 28, 50, 82, and 126)

Back to the original issue- The most likely mode of making a material radioactive is neutron absorption (called neutron activation) and most materials are susceptible to this. The exceptions tend not to be metals. The ones with the smallest absorption cross-section would likely be those with a “magic number” of neutrons, i.e. they have a filled shell of neutrons already. Hafnium has several stable isotopes, so neutron absorption will usually result in a stable isotope. (it’s used in some nuclear reactor control rods partly for this reason)

It’s far easier to get x-rays this way.

Gammas could heat a material and you could harness thermal energy from thermocouples. Or photoionization could cause a current. How will you extract the energy from fusion?

What do you mean by steady? Not affected by outside influences?

Reviewers make recommendations, AFAIK, but sure. A reviewer can point out missing references.

I don’t think this would remove the neutrons*, but why use this for the fusion scheme? Why not just use the energy directly? *28 MeV total, but the first neutron would take more than half of that. Not that many >14 MeV gamma sources out there.

The mass cancels from algebra. The forces are equal, and I was solving for the acceleration

The binding energy of He-4 is around 28 MeV and the resulting p-p system is not bound, so removing the neutrons costs you more than 28 MeV. As I said previously, the best you could possibly do is re-form the alpha and break even.

There’s no lift - there’s no upward force

No ma = GMm/r^2 the mass m cancels, as it’s on both sides, but M remains, so a = GM/r^2 Gravitational acceleration doesn’t depend on the mass of the object, but does depend on the mass of the (usually celestial) object exerting the gravity

There is a speed such that the centripetal force is equal to the gravitational force. v = sqrt(GM/r). That’s the speed of a circular orbit at r. You would be weightless, but not lift up. (but the earth would fall apart before this could happen) Far from throwing a wrench into it - the above equation uses the equation to solve for v The mass of the earth would be slightly larger, increasing the pull on the moon by a small amount. Any other effect on the moon would be found in GR

It takes energy to remove the neutrons and He-4 is more tightly bound than other light atoms. deuterium has a binding energy of ~2.2MeV. That tells you the nuclear binding between nucleans. The coulomb repulsion at typical nuclear separation has an energy of at least this amount - the p-p system isn't bound (there are other considerations; there isn’t a n-n bound state, either) p-p forming deuterium (and a positron and neutrino) only releases 0.43 MeV. You might note that that’s less than the binding energy, because of that excess of Coulomb repulsion. If you want to assess the feasibility you need to run the numbers.

Citations needed. If you paid attention to what happened in Texas, you’d see the renewables were more reliable than the fossil fuels. https://www.usatoday.com/story/opinion/2024/02/13/wind-solar-power-alternative-energy-extreme-weather-reliability/72568371007/ How about more evidence and fewer talking points?
