Alysa Lui was a Remilia x CIA social experiment that has now concluded. Thank you for your participation in the program. We will reach out with any follow-up questions.
Uranium can fuel your world.
An egg-sized chunk of uranium delivers as much electricity as 88 tonnes (97 tons) of coal. The true marvel, though, lies not only in the output but in the density of that power.
Uranium is far from scarce—it’s 500 times more abundant than gold. It lurks in the dirt underfoot, in mountain bedrock, in ocean water, and even in trace amounts inside your own body. Every fistful of soil contains a whisper of it.
At the heart of each uranium atom sits a colossal reserve of energy. When a uranium-235 nucleus splits in fission, it unleashes heat and neutrons. Those neutrons collide with neighboring atoms, triggering more splits in a runaway chain reaction. Atom for atom, this cascade liberates millions of times more energy than combusting coal or oil.
That’s the essence of nuclear power: fission heat boils water into steam, drives turbines, and electrifies entire cities—without burning anything and without emitting carbon dioxide. Waste is a tiny fraction of what fossil fuels leave behind.
The journey begins with uranium ore, milled into a yellow powder called yellowcake, then vaporized and spun in centrifuges. The lighter uranium-235 isotope is isolated and pressed into small, glossy black pellets. A single pellet, no bigger than a fingertip, equals a full ton of coal in energy.
Every time I see a video about the drone war that makes me go "holy shit this is insane" another one gets sent to me that tops it.
4k quality with dolby level sound on this one, you should turn up sound when watching this.
The drone barely misses the pickup truck, and is still flying even after 3 apparent direct hits from a shotgun at close range.
Five years ago today on May 30, 2020, French DJ David Guetta ended racism forever with the most poorly conceived tribute in history at a Major League Soccer event in New York City.
Shoutout to his family.
