Well I’m licking it first!
Wonder if a convenient wall mount would even be worth it, isn’t a golf ball sized pellet enough for a lifetime of consumer usage or something?
imagines a nuclear future
also imagines that each home needs to supply its own atomic wafers
She’s right there. This is literally a power play to force her kid to do a pointless task.
Wait a sec, I was told American’s don’t use the metric system…
The imperial system doesn’t have any electromagnetism units that I’m aware of, so they borrow from SI.
We can use horsepower hours if you’d like. Or BTU
I’m all for paying my electric bill in horsepower/hours. That feels very American. How many V8s is my house?
I’d be horsepower * hour, since horsepower is a unit, of, well, power, and [Energy] = [Power]*[Time]
But might as well go for an obscure time unit as well at that point. Horsepower Sennights, baby
I’m gonna need you to repent and convert to metric

Atomic wafers made by the techo-church-state? Or have I got this back to front and this is how the non-technical society irradiates its children?
I think this refers to everyday household items being powered by some unspecified kind of uranium engine.
Rare element, I didn’t think uranium was ever specially mentioned just “atomics”, fusion and fission generally.
Might be my imagination is playing tricks on me.
I could be wrong, it’s been a minute since I reread the series.
Look at his face, he’s 100% gonna eat that.
It’s literally called wafer. Can’t blame him
There’s a timeliness where tiktok kids are eating atomic wafers as a challenge.
Uranium has so many calories, he will never have to eat again

I’m so out of my depth in this thread. Is this a real side effect of radiation?

Funded by fossil fuels. The scariest concept to a capitalist is something being too cheap to matter.
Of course, mother!
Thank you Junior. Don’t forget to wear you shoes when you go play in the asbestos pit at school. I put two cigarettes in your lunchbox you can have one at lunch if your teacher says its okay and one on the way to home after your shift at the radium watch painting factory.
It’ll come back eventually unless fusion takes over. The power density promises are simply too attractive.
The mining and processing of the “fuel” is not. The cost of the plants and the risks neither. That’s why nuclear is slowly losing to regenerative.
Btw, from the World Nuclear Industry Status Report 2024 > Key Insights:
Russia is also playing a key role in the supply of fuel services, involving uranium mining, conversion, and fuel assembly manufacturing for Soviet-designed VVER pressurized water reactors, of which there are 19 in the E.U. and 15 in Ukraine. International sanctions have had little effect on the business. On the contrary, the share of Russian supply of natural uranium, conversion, and enrichment services to the E.U. all increased between pre-war year 2021 and 2023; VVER fuel imports doubled.
And you can see all of my points confirmed in that report.
Well that the enormous initial cost and time to construct
Never mind that pesky burning taste, imagine the power savings!
It always smells like bloody sinus in our house after changing the wafer.
That means it’s working!
“Timmy you left the aluminum foil on the atomic wafer!!”
