  • There’s actually a somewhat brand new miracle treatment for cancer that uses individual atoms of actinium-225.

    Each cancer cell gets a single atom, and then it dies when that atom decays. And since it’s an alpha decay, the cell gins some high energy helium. That’s it.

    Well, the atomic nucleus of a helium-4 atom. Which then rips some electrons from whatever it collides with.

    And then that happens a few times to produce bismuth-209, which has a halflife of 2x10^19 years. Which means it’s perfectly safe.

    Anyway, this treatment, called targeted alpha therapy is specifically approved for Bone metastasized prostate cancer, and significantly improves survival rates vs placebo.

    It’s not that good against solid tumors














  • The “refuses to elaborate” is simple, Mathew 25 31-46.

    It quite clearly says that you are to welcome the immigrant, feed the poor, care for the sick, and visit the prisoners.

    Failure to do any of that is a straight shot to hell, no matter how much you claim to love god, you actually have to do the work, or it’s off to hell.

    Fun fact, Mathew 25 is the only place in the bible that references sending ordinary people to hell. All that fire and brimstone, it’s actually in that one passage. Nowhere else does hell show up for normal people, just fallen angles and shit.



  • Wind and solar cannot set grid frequency.

    They just can’t. You need a turbine to set frequency.

    And yes, the grid frequency matters.

    So yes, we will always need a base load. And what better way than a small modular reactor, keeping the grid local and modular.

    Or we can build out so much wind and solar that we have to have massive transmission lines running across the country, and then we would still need to curtail that power during peak supply, while also not getting enough generation when solar and wind fail.

    And then you still need a turbine to set the grid frequency.
