Everything about boats is 5 to 10 times more expensive than the normal version.
@weknowwhygary @CobaltSasquatch wait until you hear about the US taxes on solar panels just generally
@WandererUber @weknowwhygary @CobaltSasquatch I think you mean subsidies
@egirlyuumimain @weknowwhygary @CobaltSasquatch no I don't. A Chinese panel costs almost 3x in the US than what it costs anywhere else
Solar panels are based because they've created a colossal industrial demand for silver that will make me rich. Therefore I support removing all taxes, tariffs or whatever on chink panels so the people can be enabled to install them on every surface imaginable.
@Hoss @WandererUber @CobaltSasquatch @weknowwhygary Tbf its probably just the tariffs every green power is the most subsidized industry there is.
The best green power comes from glowing green rocks. Nuclear comeback tour gonna be lit.

Brb shoving a reactor in my rv
@Dudebro @egirlyuumimain @CobaltSasquatch @weknowwhygary @WandererUber @Hoss That's always been my dream ..
@Dudebro @egirlyuumimain @CobaltSasquatch @weknowwhygary @WandererUber @Hoss But thanks to Nixon, America's thorium tech still looks like this instead of something ya could throw in a truck..
I have a real conflicted opinion about Nixon because he signed off on a lot of bad policies but was allegedly ultra based in private. Surely this was somehow Kissinger's fault.
The Nixon tapes are a window in to a soul that was too based for his time even.

Nixon: Why don't we just nuke the gooks?

@CobaltSasquatch @Hoss @Dudebro @weknowwhygary @WandererUber @egirlyuumimain Aye, He had a lot of great aspects, but, like all the others, he was swayed by bombs that Mox reactors could make rather than the infinite power, lack of waste, and amazing efficiency of thorium... Plus, Thorium reactors don't give the US an excuse to invade, because they cant be used for enrichment..
@HonkHonkBoom @CobaltSasquatch @Dudebro @weknowwhygary @WandererUber @egirlyuumimain @Hoss thorium reactors fail deadly and that's their major problem (not that that stopped Russia from building RBMKs)
@sapphire @CobaltSasquatch @Dudebro @weknowwhygary @HonkHonkBoom @egirlyuumimain @Hoss I thought the whole idea of Thorium (salt) reactors was that they cool and stop themselves without continuous power flow somehow? Wasn't there some type of freeze plug or something or other that would drain the molten material if the power went out?
@WandererUber @sapphire @CobaltSasquatch @Dudebro @weknowwhygary @HonkHonkBoom @Hoss Thorium reactors are soyence psuedo magic gobilty gook
They seemingly do anything and everything, but are somehow unable to be built. See also cold fusion

Sometimes I'll see a car, or a computer, or hell even a coffee maker, and I'll think to myself "3000 years ago that was in the fucking ground. Some guy woke up one day, looked at a rock and started changing it. We eventually changed rocks so much that we could turn them in to this stuff" and even with the benefit of a White IQ it seems like some low level sorcery
@CobaltSasquatch @Dudebro @weknowwhygary @HonkHonkBoom @WandererUber @egirlyuumimain @Hoss it took 4.4 billion with a b years for life to go from rock to pointy rock
It took less than 1/1000 of that to go from pointy rock to iPhone

I wonder what went through the head of the first guy that found copper and realized if he put it in a campfire and then let it get cold it would hold the shape. We talk about advancements in technology but copper weapons were the start of empire building. You take that away and we're all sitting in a forest eating squirrel bits
@CobaltSasquatch @Dudebro @weknowwhygary @HonkHonkBoom @WandererUber @Hoss @sapphire I often wonder similiar things about how we developed food or drug use
Day 47: Fed Grug the red berries we found. Grug dead. Now will make red berries hot with fire and feed to Grug Jr to see if change outcome
@CobaltSasquatch @Dudebro @weknowwhygary @HonkHonkBoom @WandererUber @egirlyuumimain @Hoss the US Army Survival Manual actually has pretty good instructions on how to feed grug unknown berries (its you, you're grug)
I remember being in the woods with a friend, and grabbing these wild blackberries and eating them in front of him and him freaking out worried they were poisonous. He was like "HOW DO YOU KNOW YOU CAN'T JUST EAT RANDOM SHIT". I told him I'd seen it on TV, he was not amused
"Its a game but if you do it wrong you die"
One of my lieutenants asked me, "do you know the process for giving the all clear?"
No.
"you find the most insignificant, disposable soldier around, and you get your senior nco as well, 'private hand your weapon to sgt so and so.' you have your weapons trained on him when you do this. then, 'private, take off your mask.'"
No.

Why would I hog all the wonderful VX vapors for myself? There's enough for everyone!
@Hoss @CobaltSasquatch @Dudebro @weknowwhygary @HonkHonkBoom @WandererUber @egirlyuumimain This results in initial violent contractions, followed by sustained supercontraction restricted to the fluid (sarcoplasm) of the subjunctional endplate and prolonged, depolarizing neuromuscular blockade.[23] The prolonged blockade results in flaccid paralysis of all the muscles in the body, and it is such sustained paralysis of the diaphragm muscle that causes death by asphyxiation.[7] Accumulation of acetylcholine in the brain also causes neuronal excitotoxicity, due to activation of nicotinic receptors and glutamate release
hahahahahaha how horrifying

A real chemical weapon so horrifying that Nick Cage's trademark over-acting actually compliments it perfectly.
@Hoss @CobaltSasquatch @Dudebro @weknowwhygary @HonkHonkBoom @WandererUber @egirlyuumimain and to think we made enough VX during the cold war to kill every single person on the continent
And you can guarantee we still have stockpiles of it somewhere because the Chemical Weapons Convention really only exists to manufacture casus belli for uncooperative states that don't even possess the WMDs they're accused of using.
@Hoss @CobaltSasquatch @Dudebro @weknowwhygary @HonkHonkBoom @WandererUber @egirlyuumimain just like the NPT only applies to our enemies and not Israel or India
@Hoss @CobaltSasquatch @Dudebro @HonkHonkBoom @WandererUber @egirlyuumimain @weknowwhygary >In fiscal year 2008, the U.S. Department of Defense released a study finding that the United States had dumped at least 112 tonnes (124 short tons) of VX into the Atlantic Ocean off the coasts of New York/New Jersey and Florida between 1969 and 1970.

>The United States was the last of the eight countries that signed the Chemical Weapons Convention to destroy its entire stockpile, this was due to adhering to higher safety protocols than other countries
I feel like there are much safer ways to destroy something like VX than dumping it in the ocean. Hell, even if it's way more expensive to properly destroy it I would rather they have done that. Of course, this assumes they actually destroyed the stockpile, which they obviously didn't.
