  • Achtually, most Uranium is uranium-238, which is mostly stable. People use it in glass and decorations and it causes them to glow in blacklight. It's safe as long as you aren't in daily constant contact with it or eat it.

    Uranium-235 is less stable, but makes up less than 1% of Uranium on Earth. The quantity in natural uranium isn't much riskier unless you're exposed to enriched uranium which has more Uranium-235.

    The byproducts of a chain reaction of U-235 fission are what cause most of the dangerous radiation. Which is to say, the leftovers of a nuclear explosion are very radioactive and dangerous, but natural uranium before exploding is mostly safe and it won't explode unless you enrich it and set up the correct conditions.

  • You order a burger at the drivethru for 0.000093 Bitcoin. By the time you pull up to pay, the burger cost 0.000095 because of the market. A burger can cost twice as much this time next year, or half as much. Can you imagine a 100% inflation rate? Can you imagine the shit show it would be managing wages? Either your employer may keep your current income and not adjust for the 100% inflation, or be have to update it every pay period.

    The idea behind crypto currency was a solid attempt at an independent, universal, and private currency system, but it's volatile pricing and possible abuse is too great. Even the crypto currencies that attempt to fix this aren't doing a great job. At the end of the day, any form of currency generation is going to be abused. I know the US can print more dollars, but other countries can hold the US accountable for that and compensate for inflation in their exchange rates. Only the market decides on Cryptocurrency exchange rates, which is far more volatile.

  • To my understanding, the arcing is caused by hard edges. E.g. all the elections could be at the end of a fork's tines, and EM field forces them to jump to another tine instead of going through the root of the fork.

    Since spoons are rounded, they don't need to jump. I don't think the material plays much of a role in arcing other than providing resistance. They would heat up, but they'd melt before they arc. Still, they can arc from one spoon to another spoon when there multiple spoons close enough.

  • The contact points between the spoons will heat up and may melt or spark.

  • How Nintendo locked down the Switch 2’s USB-C port and broke third-party docking

    Jump

  • I have an USB hub with a Type C to HDMI output. I switch with my laptop, Steam Deck, and Switch 1.

    Additionally, when I'm traveling, I prefer to take the small USB hub over the chunky switch dock.

    My biggest gripe is how petty it is to disallow it. That's like HP levels of petty... Actually, they're really starting to adopt a lot of shitty HP policies.
