The paper you linked says “1 microgram is sufficient to trigger one thermonuclear weapon” which corresponds to 6×10^17.
This makes your “few thousand” of by 14 orders of magnitude instead of 15, I bet you feel vindicated now.
For example, a device the size of a hand grenade with tons of TNT equivalent output
A man portable nuke has existed since the 60’s so it wouldn’t be a game changer.
[…] then once plants get started it will work towards making even more compost/soil.
Compost is biomaterial so it manly consists of carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen and oxygen. The only part of that you can find on the moon is oxygen, so you can’t expand beyond the amount of air and biomass (manly food) you ship from earth.
The Merz who told the US, “You need partners in the world. And one of those partners can be Europe and if you can’t do anything with Europe, at least make Germany your partner.”
That Merz? Good luck
Cant recall if this also happened in the book.
They certainly paid in bullets.
I stopped reading when the vibe shifted from post apocalypse to fantasy, but that was probably meant to be the madness induced by the darkness and not a genuine change in setting. I should probably go find the book and keep reading.
Edit: I really like fantasy and the dangerous outside mutants or whatever they where also fit the vibe but when the protagonist had a weird connection to the tunnel it didn’t sit right with me.
Why would Zelenskyy even contemplate a deal with the US with the current fascist administration?
Because the only way to hold a capitalists attention is with money.
obviously he knows they are liars and cheats and won’t uphold any part of the agreement they don’t want to.
Minerals take time to dig up, during those decades attacks on Ukraine would cut into the profits of American oligarchs.
surely he wouldn’t tie up his national minerals for generations so they can get the old US stockpiles of weapons?
Considering the GOPs ties to Russia, there is some fear that the USA could switch sides entirely and help Russia.

I understand the issue of shutting down starlink would currently severely impact Ukraine, but I can also see how starlink won’t be necessary in the near future as drones switch to AI and fibre, and a bunch of tech we don’t know about yet.
It’s only used in some large (manly naval) drones, as it is big and heavy. I think starlink is more important for communication between units and command.
so what’s the deal with the ‘deal’? surely it’s not being entertained seriously?
It’s trying to buy peace and sovereignty in a world the America only values money.
or is it all bluster for Trump to feel he’s achieving something whilst the real power brokers get EU assistance?
While the new german government might be more likely to send missiles, I don’t see any large changes in the near future. Unless countries can be convinced to give Ukraine unlimited acces to their own military’s modern equipment or commit their own soldiers.
Thanks, they always look so small in pictures where they fly.
What are you gonna do about it, fight me?
As a fellow leftist, I don’t think it will happen on the week end, give it 'till Monday.
Ban the use of chatgpt for your employees because of data protection concerns and open similar capabilities to the public a month later. The is no way this can possibly go wrong.
Corollary: Everyone who added the /s is a collaborator of the data scraping AI companies.
Um actually🤓, that’s not pizza specific.
E = mc^2 and E = mc^2 + AI
mc^2 = mc^2 + AI
0 = AI
Therefore AI is worthless.
Yes, but if you take the train or a private car you won’t be searched. To get it across international borders try smuggling among other cargo or by submarine, maybe even diplomatic courier.
