Never forget what was taken from you.
This is a Soviet self-propelled atomic power station. In the format of a tracked heavy truck. From the 1960's.

That's really cool, but how often do you need to move a power station?
I think the point is to be able to construct it in an industrial facility and then move it to a remote area where it can provide energy for both industrial and civilian use
I want one.
That’s pretty cool. I was looking into nuclear powered cars, and the issue was with miniaturization. Tons of aerospace and defence companies are making something similar currently.
FYI, the Soviet union’s space program cost a tenth of the US’s
Did this really work? I didn't realize it was possible to safely perform nuclear fission in such a (relatively) tiny space
It did work. The technology was lost alongside the USSR (yes, it is possible to lose technology). Rosatom is currently fiddling with floating reactors, in the format of a cargo boat
that's amazing and tragic
Can you share some sources for this? This sounds both amazing and extremely tragic.

Someone else posted an authoritative looking PDF that says that the technical plans for the thing were declassified a few years ago. I don't see any basis for describing the tech as lost, actually kinda concerning nobody else called that claim out.
Like don't get me wrong I share the sense of grief for lost potential (esp wrt space exploration) but let's stick to reality
If u read the link it says the whole plant takes up 4 separate platforms like the one in the picture. So not that tiny.
Perks of working at the Union is that I apparently get to watch the documentaries they make as they launch. In a few weeks I will watch a documentary about Colombian syndicalism and violence against activists. I will see if I can link the doc to here somehow.
I like how Republicans completely stopped giving a shit about Hawaii once they found out that it's a blue state. I guess outrage over poor responses are only for other people in the tribe.
I hope you all have a nice week
I hope you have a fantastic week
me irl after going through a federated post and updooting all hexbear commenters
I went out drinking with my friends a few nights ago and some of them said Meloni was based 💀
maybe they were just mispronouncing the fruit
I wish that was the case. It was in the context of Italy's government, and other governments. Apparently Marine LePen is too extreme, and Macron is too left wing, but Meloni is just right.
What kind of world is your friend living in where Macron is "too left wing"?
They live in a predominantly white upper middle class suburb outside of a major city.
They have muh “socialist” healthcare and a couple vacation days. AOC’s always praising them, must be radically leftist.
God damn liberalism lol. Even when I was a lib I was always like "man I wish libs had more teeth"
Meloni in a few years be like: 🙃
British Tabloids might be even Worse than other Western MSM, Theyre like RFA/RFE Levels of Rhetoric
You too, Oppo
preemptive youtooing
What if I didn't do it
I'd cry probably
Frans Timmermans, EU figurehead, has decided to lead the Dutch left Green/Labour coalition in order to get Dutch left back on track.
He has already announced that he wants a mandatory 2% NATO budget... So far for Dutch left, I guess.
I loved the scene at the end of season 3 of For All Mankind,
spoiler
where they find out that North Korea actually beat everyone to Mars
So a Russian moon probe crashed and two days later, India lands a rover.
I hate it here, comrades. It hurts to know what we have been and never will be again
I am so unbelievably sick of reading about Saudi Arabia in regards to European football and the wildly eurocentric and xenophobic “enlightened thinkpieces” that there have been a true glut of recently.
Modern KSA is obviously not an ideal setup, but good lord nothing gets Englishmen foaming at the mouth like a brown person having more money than them. It’s not an issue at all if Americans buy up the league and spend a billion pounds in a year on players, but as soon as it’s an Arab or Chinese it is just a bridge too far for them.
Football is my cognitive dissonance zone, the top level game just cannot be enjoyed if you don’t approach it with a healthy level of dissonance. The corruption and exploitation is rampant all across the sport, please just let me ignore it in peace lol. Can’t even go to r/soccer for news now without getting myself wound up.
This week I discovered a very good korean song. It is called "Millions of miles following the leader, following the party", and I love it.
Upcoming fanfic stuff:
Duncan's duel with Peko (must read!),
Celeste does some spy shit (wild!)
(UDT)Ibuki sings "It's a Good Day to Die" for a room full of Reserves(woah, that's insane!)
