What is the total mass gain if all lithium(3) became sulfur(16)?

Related, there's a Kurzgesagt video on what happens if you turn the entire earth into gold: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VB_GWz25B3Q

You have to make assumptions on what you keep constant: mass? volume? density? Each scenario is amusing in its own apocalyptic way.

Then it's just sparkling security.

I don't get it. How is this a meme? It's like a screenshot of a wiki page.

First thought: Is this just another RTG model? I've worked in that field. They've been around a long time. They power satellites, etc. They're expensive, heavy and inefficient.

Second though: Oh, they're going with direct electron capture. That's neat. I don't know much about those. Carbon/diamond as a capture material is good and cheap.

FTA:

The nuclear battery generates power every second and minute, producing 8.64 joules of energy per day and 3,153 joules of energy per year.

That's not how radioactive decay works. I mean, yeah, the half life is 100 years, so this is pretty stable, but it's gonna go down. (Incidentally, daughter products are Cu63 (stable) and an electron.)

Also, you do NOT want radio isotopes floating out in the wild. Watch any of Plainly Difficult's videos on nuclear incidents and it's not good.

This is how I find out matpat is retiring?!

Here are 2 I found on the main page sidebar.

Loving the new speed.

No worries about the downtime. If that's what's needed to get back to 0.18 levels of performance, go for it! Thanks for all the work y'all do.

I'd noticed my own posts/comments getting way less votes than usual. This kinda explains it.

OP. I was wondering similarly, but I didn't know how to ask, especially with the holidays. Thanks for asking.

Found the bug report too https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/4290

There's a 19.1? I've not heard of it. I'll look into that, thanks.

Edit. Yep it should be fixed https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/4290

Connect loads way slower and sometimes not at all.

Web is slightly slower.

I haven't seen any official word acknowledging it.

fill an endless pit with fake money bought with real money.

Honest question, if the money is the issue, then why not let him play the free stuff and not spend money on it?

Still seeing "read" posts, even thought "show read posts" is unchecked. This didn't happen in 0.18.

Would fit right into Hardspace Shipbreaker. It's got a few cassettes. The color scheme and ware-damage are spot on.

I relate to this. My father isn't as openly hostile as yours sounds, but he's a narcissist. One year, he decided he was to busy to visit my kids, his grandkids. He's retired.

For me, there is an emotional tug that will always be there, not for him, but for a father that loves me. Rationally, I remind myself of why I haven't talked to him in 5 years. It's gotten easier over time, but it still flares up occasionally.

For TV and movies, I like Screen Crush. Their humor is perfect for me, I like their mascot dog, and the ads aren't as bad as New Rockstars.

I used to follow corridor crew before they started huffing their own farts.
