NK's conventional army would kill hundreds of thousands before they get clapped. They have relatively little staying power, but they have lots of "sting" until they're taken down. Tons of tubes near the border. Also lots of CBW. It's how they deterred attack when developing nukes.

* What if we burn 91 TWh a year endlessly playing "Guess The Magic Number!" with cryptography algos to process four to seven write-only transactions per second to record on a fully-public-readable database which user has paid for heroin on the dark web?

I iterate back once again to my initial reply, re: being unhealthy, and being processed:

1) What canned soup isn't?

2) The question shouldn't it be "is it highly processed?", but "is it unhealthy?"

And once again to the latter, the answer "yeah, sort of, but there's ample worse stuff out there."

Gemini really isn't having any of it. 😀

Like, seriously, this is direct from a peer-reviewed article in a legitimate physics journal.

OMG.

I'm really loving the "personality" of the new Gemini. Way better than the last one, which was kind of manic, alternating between being manic, obsequious, and needlessly apologetic. The new one just gets down to business, but injects wit in places where it's appropriate.

You get all the extra nutrients and fibre from the veggies, and the salt and sugar are diluted among a larger mass.
November 26, 2025 at 9:07 PM
(again, this is a relative term, there's a lot of other worse things you could be eating) is how loaded it is with salt it is. It's not about "ultraprocessing", it's very specifically about the salt (and some of them, sugar as well).

Add some veggies in to bulk it up, though, & it flips the story.
November 26, 2025 at 9:07 PM
... in the "ultraprocessed" category doesn't make it unhealthy. What matters is if there's *specific unhealthy things in it*. There's a *correlation* between heavily processed foods and containing unhealthy things, not a *cause*.

In the case of Campbell's Soup: what makes it "unhealthy"...

"All responses to a Google search say it's not healthy"

Meanwhile I wrote: "Which it kinda is (lots of salt, some with excess sugar), but there's also lots of worse stuff you could be eating. Add some extra veg and it'll be a pretty healthy dish."

And as for: "Highly processed food is generally...

That answers nothing that I wrote.

2) The question shouldn't it be "is it highly processed?", but "is it unhealthy?"

It's not "instructive about what Russia fears", it's *instructive about what Russia thinks it can use to sway gullible westerners*.

And you're repeating it.
November 26, 2025 at 7:57 PM
It's *literally a category the Wikipedia article about Russian disinformation in the Ukraine war*

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disinfo...

I'll repeat: it's stupid bullshit made up by Russians, targeted at people who don't know about dirty bombs, to try to make Ukraine look bad. And you're repeating it.

It is not part of "Ukraine's existing counter-value nuclear deterrence*, it is *Russian propaganda against Ukraine*. Just like the "Ukrainian biolabs" nonsense. Which you are now repeating.
November 26, 2025 at 7:48 PM
And which is *easier* to handle than the more radioactive, dirtier isotopes. Without reprocessing, with just nuclear waste, your contamination radius is a couple hundred m to a few km

"Having Ukraine make dirty bombs" is just a nonsensical suggestion and it makes people stop taking you seriously.
November 26, 2025 at 7:36 PM
And if you're going to reprocess it, to extract the more radioactive and easily dispersed isotopes, then *why are you making a dirty bomb instead of an actual nuclear weapon*? If you're reprocessing it then the easiest thing to get out is *the plutonium*. Which you can make a nuclear bomb out of.
November 26, 2025 at 7:36 PM
were dispersed in the environment . The dispersement was fueled by a fire of ***2000 tonnes*** of graphite, which created a long-lasting chimney effect that lofted fine nuclear material up into the upper atmosphere. Normally nuclear waste doesn't disperse radioactive material *at all*.
November 26, 2025 at 7:36 PM
it's also not a Chornobyl. The fuel at the Chornobyl reactor was *fresh*. Most of the reactivity from a reactor is lost within minutes to hours, then days, then weeks. Stored waste is *old*. It is *many orders of magnitude less radioactive*. And Chornobyl had *192 tonnes of fuel*. 6-8 tonnes...
November 26, 2025 at 7:36 PM
No. Just no. Dirty bombs are simply scare weapons / economic harm weapons - they are not significant enough to deter governments. You cause some evacuations and some freakouts, and they... wipe your cities and your people off the face of the Earth in response. It's not the same.

(Good reasoning trace and use of RAG, though)
November 26, 2025 at 5:33 PM
Also, "dirty bombs" are not WMDs. They don't deter anyone.
