this was before we figured out that you can use stranded aluminum wire and it's fine this way

that, or copper clad aluminum

only residential wiring uses copper, everything from 350kV down to 400V lines is aluminum, and even in houses aluminum can be used too

most of pleroma instances are packed with nazis, go figure

also nostr is mostly altright and cryptobros (but it's not activitypub)

old power supplies used transformers, which when not loaded behave like inductors, and this causes reactive current to flow. not a problem for the last 15+ years because everything uses switching mode power supplies now

both of them are cryptobros

ai can't generate anything that is not averaged dogshit made by grinding every political cartoon to pixels and compressing it to paste. it categorically can't generate caricatures, for example. it also shows a degree of creativity and familiarity with literature unlikely in average propmptfan. and also text is legible

you would need something silly like 50x more interceptors than ICBMs and SLBMs and these are more expensive and technically harder than either

[–] fullsquare@awful.systems 2 points 1 week ago

The NMD program is limited in scope and designed to counter a relatively small ICBM attack from a less sophisticated adversary.

also ground-based interceptor is more expensive than ICBM, and you need one for each warhead and maybe also for decoys, and probably more than one to be reasonably sure. since everyone operates under MAD it doesn't matter if you destroy most probable adversary's nukes on the ground or in the air, so that's one of reasons why ICBMs are a thing, and then SLBMs as a second line. cue arms race. ABM are considered destabilizing and are limited by treaties
