  • US operates its nuclear arms across 11 states:

    New Mexico: Hosts the largest stockpile of weapons at the Kirtland Underground Munitions and Maintenance Storage Complex.

    Washington: Home to Naval Base Kitsap-Bangor, which houses the Pacific ballistic missile submarine fleet.

    Montana: Features 150 active Minuteman III Intercontinental Ballistic Missile (ICBM) silos at Malmstrom Air Force Base.

    North Dakota: Houses 150 active ICBM silos at Minot Air Force Base.

    Wyoming & Colorado: F.E. Warren Air Force Base straddles both states, controlling another 150 operational ICBM silos.

    Texas: Home to the Pantex Plant near Amarillo, the primary facility responsible for assembling and dismantling the U.S. nuclear arsenal.

    Georgia: Base for the Atlantic ballistic missile submarine fleet at Naval Submarine Base Kings Bay.

    Nevada: Nellis Air Force Base stores gravity bombs for nuclear-capable aircraft.

    Missouri: Whiteman Air Force Base maintains the fleet of B-2 nuclear stealth bombers.

    Louisiana: Barksdale Air Force Base is a key storage and operating hub for nuclear-capable B-52 heavy bombers.


  • Well, you can’t really come up with a novel material to dissipate faster because the math I presented is actually assuming perfect efficiency. If you understood the math you would have noticed the physical constant governing that process. I never came up with any arguments against it, I am just stating a fact that it would take a 100 megawatt data center a 250k ish square meters of radiating surface.

    I am against data centers in space for more practical reasons though, space isn’t a good environment to really build anything and we are decades or centuries away from doing anything like it. The data transfer won’t be ideal via microwave transmissions for many of the things you are going to want to use the data centers for. Getting the material itself to space is far fetched and manufacturing in space requires an entire earth bound supply chain and adding the step of launching into space isn’t going to be cost effective at any scale.

    Data centers they should be smaller, distributed and hooked up to the L3 fiberoptics network and instead of subsidizing mega corporations we should be educating and empowering people to self host hardware they own and control in their own home to build a distributed cloud. I don’t care about data centers in and of themselves or where they are. I care that the capitalist governments are going to squander the capital build out for things I don’t like such as surveillance, military industrial tech and bull shit. Since they operate as a get rich quarterly scheme and not a long term asset for man kind, the build outs are going to be where the land use is cheapest and those all happen to be sensitive ecosystems facing other challenges already, otherwise they’d be desirable and expensive.








  • But you understand right that the majority of the cases where people are enforcing dress on women it is people forcing western clothing on them? Do you not understand the hypocrisy of posting an image like what you did and saying that this has to be what the women want but implying that they want the thing that is repeatedly forced on them? The people in Iran chose this government with revolution and they have a constitutional democracy, they need to be empowered to work within their system. By posting pictures of women under the Shah wearing American clothes and implying this is best you are simply supporting imperialism against them





  • I do not think things are better in Europe. I would never look to Europe or Europeans for inspiration. I would not be welcome in Europe. Not sure why everyone assumes this from my comments. Just because something is bad doesn’t mean that there is something better that currently exists. Describing a problem is the first step to a solution, it isn’t simply to imply that somewhere else has it better. Especially because the USA goes out of its way to destroy any alternative to itself and its system with a huge monopoly of violence and nuclear weapons.



  • What is unique to the US is their civic religion with the saints of the founding fathers and the reverence of the documents themselves. Most modern countries rewrite their constitutions but the US is stuck with theirs because they worship it.

    Many other governments have a better structure, but that isn’t the point of what I wrote. Maybe the US Americans can write something new that is even incrementally better and it would be a positive. I was raised in the US but have left it behind.


  • You know what is really funny About US Americans and their near religious reverence of their political institutions? You people think that the source of the problem is the solution. The constitution won’t save you. The constitution of the US describes a state that is incapable of operating and leaves open this sort of tyranny. Due the the broken structure of your government you’ve been unable to pass meaningful legislation for decades. There hasn’t been an amendment since the 1992 and that was to give congress a raise. You raise up normal day to day legislation like funding a small amount of infrastructure “build back better” and a right wing guaranteed profits law that only really benefits the insurance industry “america cares act” as major accomplishments.

    The constitution isn’t what is going to fix this. The constitution describes a government written in the preindustrial age to maintain slave owner supremacy and protect the interests of the elite. It describes a system that is subject to a tyranny of the majority that has weakness in the very cultural fabric of Americans like hyper individualism, materialism and anti-intellectualism.

    These aren’t just the rantings of a “tankie” either, this was called out by Tocqueville in 1831 and it has come to pass.
