  • I enjoyed Portal because I had to plan out what I’m doing before I act (without being pressured to act), the atmosphere of the game was legendary and I liked that little robot following me

    Portal 2 has two community made “Valve Quality” DLCs. “Portal Stories: Mel” and “Portal: Revolution”. Mel seems playable on macOS at least. Revolution is basically a Portal 2 presequel. (It’s also so long I would have payed for it.)

    I’m a hobby software developer and a fan of reading a lot of about physics. To me, “alpha” means an highly unstable configuation with massive amount of over optimistic excitement and just one wrong nudge will have catastrohic emmission of high energy photons and sounds. But it all decays away eventually and reaches stable state. xD

    I’m quite sociable but also very quiet. I’m thinking being polite of not disturbing or interrupting people. However, at some point I start to wonder why nobody is talking to me. Well, duh, I should ask or talk to people, but this never crosses my mind or just flys past me.





  • 1st problem is that the mercury will highly likely poison the fusion plasma. The blanket is already a hard engineering problem to have it work in a “regular fusion reactor”. 2nd problem nobody has said anything about is that you get a mixture of radioactive isotopes out of (a supposedly working) a transmutation reactor. This adds to required enrichment processes: to get 100% mercury-198 (from 10%) and possibly a purification of the freshly radioactive gold.

    I’d imagine radioactive gold is pretty much worthless. The Au-197 is metastable, and to my flaky understanding will emit gamma-rays, not to mention the other isotopes generated around Au-197.

    Sure it’s terrifying, but you can start a sparky plasma show in a resilient enough container and keep it going for hours and the microwave won’t break. (except maybe overheat.) The microwave will be fine as long as the arcs don’t reach the waveguide cover. (which would risk burning/shorting the magnetron.)

    I have done the microwave grape plasma trick myself and started an arc in a microwave. The current between the two objects goes through a very narrow point, which is enough vaporize the contact point to plasma. This then can grow as the microwave continues to pump more energy into the spark.
