Thank you Junior. Don't forget to wear you shoes when you go play in the asbestos pit at school. I put two cigarettes in your lunchbox you can have one at lunch if your teacher says its okay and one on the way to home after your shift at the radium watch painting factory.

It’ll come back eventually unless fusion takes over. The power density promises are simply too attractive.

[–] jabathekek@sopuli.xyz 17 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Never mind that pesky burning taste, imagine the power savings!

It always smells like bloody sinus in our house after changing the wafer.

[–] jabathekek@sopuli.xyz 7 points 2 years ago

That means it's working!

All wafers, cookies, chips, biscuits, crispbread and hardtack I've ever seen have been atomic.

I struggle to imagine one that wouldn't be.

"Timmy you left the aluminum foil on the atomic wafer!!"

"By golly Tim you shattered space time and opened a black hole!"

Too 👏 cheap 👏 to 👏 meter

[–] Zink@programming.dev 8 points 2 years ago (6 children)

Given the up-front cost of any kind of reactor, I don’t think the concept of a usage-based electric bill goes away as long as it’s corporations competing for customers. Maybe eventually it would be like ISPs where it’s a flat fee depending on the size of your connection. I guess it could be totally unmetered then.

Like so many things, it gets a lot simpler if it’s the government supplying the service.

Wait a sec, I was told American's don't use the metric system...

[–] austinfloyd@ttrpg.network 17 points 2 years ago (2 children)

The imperial system doesn't have any electromagnetism units that I'm aware of, so they borrow from SI.

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 21 points 2 years ago (1 children)

We can use horsepower hours if you’d like. Or BTU

[–] JoeBigelow@lemmy.ca 16 points 2 years ago (3 children)

I'm all for paying my electric bill in horsepower/hours. That feels very American. How many V8s is my house?

[–] itslilith@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I'd be horsepower * hour, since horsepower is a unit, of, well, power, and [Energy] = [Power]*[Time]

But might as well go for an obscure time unit as well at that point. Horsepower Sennights, baby

The Watt predates the SI itself. SI borrows the Watt much as it dues with other units.

She's right there. This is literally a power play to force her kid to do a pointless task.
