looks like the refined version of this map was actually made by a worldbuilder integrating every conspiracy into one for a real world fantasy setting

it’s actually really cool i want to do a steampunk TTRPG there

is that alt-text or just the AI image prompt or both?

ahh i guess there will be more unhinged fetish-fueled slur filled screeds

one of the most common anti-nuclear arguments these days is basically against conventional water cooled reactors which need a large supply of water (basically a small lake or pond) to provide reliable cooling to the reactors. (this is what those big “smoke stacks” are for) this was made worse recently when europe had a drought and the rivers there were drying up and France had to shut down reactors due to the risk of running out of coolant water

molten salt reactors don’t require water for coolant. the molten salt is the coolant (and fuel!) itself, since these reactors run hotter overall. thus they can be built anywhere as long as you pair them with a chemical plant that can produce additional salt when needed (which is very minimal compared to water needs)

as for the meltdown fears, these reactors can’t create a steam explosion or other issues relating to water cooled reactors. if they risk meltdown, you simply cut external power and the molten salt starts to solidify which ends the reaction on it’s own. water reactors need power (either external or from the reactor) to run pumps to keep them cool. molten salt needs power simply to not shut down.

(i just typed this off the top of my head and if you need to i can find some more detailed sources and info since i may have some things wrong)

yeah super excited about this too. every modern operating reactor should have been molten salt a long time ago. eliminates both “we can’t risk water supplies in climate change!” and meltdown fears in a one-two punch

plus very adaptable for use in space

the ultimate will be adding an MHD generator to the mix

if they can pull this off and get a throium cycle going it’s like having a practically unlimited fuel supply

but at what cost?

i’d much rather extrapolate what a emotions a robot is trying to convey from a plastic shell then a flayed meat pancake thank you very much

MDMA sounds fucking horrifying to use in a combat situation

ole Genocide joe is sailing this ship into fascism just as fast as any republican

can’t wait to find out from some investigation that the robots have been choosing to fire on their own for like 1.5 of the 2 years they were deployed in combat

instead of reserve army of labor you have a reserve army of reaction (or just an internal gladio force)

so far im just the first two guys haven’t gotten to the third yet (the first two guys in Acceptance)

and i thought these types of spiders were just big dummies

also this just reminded me to finish reading Children of Time!

this is going to go very poorly for the U.S. in every theater imaginable

i think america is the main reason they still have shitty work conditions. i mean they still are better then the U.S. but it’s sort of the inverse of the U.S.-Soviet competition over working conditions

so either way America has got to go

hopefully they would ramp up the social services to at least socdem levels in that scenerio

absolutely shame the west

Leninhammer 40k

goes hard

he3 maybe for fusion but that would require some long term planning that the west would never do and it’s not concentrated anywhere it’s trapped in crystals mostly on the far side

concentrations of water ice for rocket fuel. there’s also a few primo spots in craters that would allow nearly 24/7 solar power and also have water ice in shadows under the regolith

i could see china planning for space industrialization way down the line and the U.S. haphazardly chasing behind them throwing dumb money and elon at it
