All you liberals in love with Obama would do well to consider this. http://commentarius-ioannis.blogspot.com/2009/05/dr-pournelle-on-chrysler-porkulus-and.html...
Paulus, How can you seriously expect anyone to *believe* that "morally, economically or energy-wise" Obama is going to be MORE of a disaster than Bush? You...
I don't consider 200 billion in debt to 3 trillion in debt to be incrementally worse - perhaps however an order of magnitude worse. Besides, you know from our...
Paul, the debt was in the fall of 2008, on Bush's watch, around 11 trillion USD. Not 200 billion. Don't confuse the "deficit" wit the "debt". It was Bush, the...
Dave, I disagree for reasons you already know. I won't waste time because we have fundamental differences in opinion. I respect your opinion, but remember how...
hi, does anyone know any soldiers or civilians that have been exposed to depleted uranium? I understand that DU testing of vets is mandatory in Connecticut...
... Personally, no. Sorry! :) ... http://www.wtopnews.com/?nid=428&sid=746356 Looks sort of accurate. Also looks like a ridiculous waste of money, but hey,...
Here's a bit of interesting news. http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2009/may/07/inside-the-ring-98368565/ A surprising number of details in there. Anyone...
... Hi Mauk, Thanks for writing back. Peer-reviewed study like this http://www.ehjournal.net/content/4/1/17 suggest that 10-30% and sometimes 70% of DU...
... Shouldn't the test go like... 1) One person (representing the good guys) eats some DU-laced brownies. 2) Another person (representing the bad guys)...
... It depends how many of the newer IR-2 centrifuges they have working. The older P-1 machines have a throughput of 2 SWU per year. Assuming 4000 of only the...
Eating DU is not an issue. It's breathing it hat is. It's chemical toxicity is slightly less than that of mercury. It's a heavy metal for goodness sakes and is...
Are you sure about that David? The tungsten replacement material for DU produces cancers in 100% of lab rats. Why would you want to replace a relatively benign...
... David, It is true, eating them is not as toxic as breathing the aerosolized nanoparticles left by DU munitions. When do you want to eat the the brownies?...
Y'know, maybe I'm just a dumb ol' Texas country boy, but it seems to me that a country that wants to get into a scrap with the United States. knowing that we...
David, DU has not really been banned and the reason the DU kinetic energy penetrator was developed in the mid-70's is because nothing else worked - tungsten...
I just joined some assorted nukes groups in the last few days and they're obviously teaming with trolls and operatives and other useful um, characters. The...
That would not be this group you refer to, then. I mainly lurk, as the degree of scientific knowledge here goes far beyond my education and training. I'm what...
Apparently tungsten disintegrate differently than DU, larger particle mass, or so I read once, thus not as inhalable as DU dust. I'm no expert, but the point...
This so-called scientific article by Rita Hindin et al (one of whom was an undergrad) was heavily influenced by the Traprock Peace Center which has been...
On 28th October 1993 an industrial pharmacist was admitted to Royal North Shore Hospital in Sydney having deliberately ingested 15g of uranium acetate and an...
Yeah, the analysis below is about what I expected. Good grief. If, IF, the Iranians have a reasonable implosion system, they can almost certainly make the pit...
... LOL, yes, he's still around. And he ate 15,000 milligrams of DU in acetate form, which did precisely nothing to him that any OTHER heavy metal would not...
... Oh, yeah. All those years of hysterical anti-nuclear lies have had their effect. The USA has embraced superstition. Thermodynamics is a dirty lie, wind...
