Putting it in my underwear later...

Well I'm licking it first!

Wonder if a convenient wall mount would even be worth it, isn't a golf ball sized pellet enough for a lifetime of consumer usage or something?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

That's Thorium that will do that.

With Uranium, a reactor only extracts 5% of the enemy in the pellet and the 95% left is called "waste".

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 days ago

Well I rather prefer 95% of my enemies be left as waste and only deal with 5% of them!

She's right there. This is literally a power play to force her kid to do a pointless task.

Wait a sec, I was told American's don't use the metric system...

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 days ago

Do you know which comics is it?

We also don't use apostrophes for plural words.

Speak for yourselv’es

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 days ago

Plenty of us do, unfortunately!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago

You were lied to. We use a mix of both, just like the UK.

The imperial system doesn't have any electromagnetism units that I'm aware of, so they borrow from SI.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 3 days ago

The Watt predates the SI itself. SI borrows the Watt much as it dues with other units.

We can use horsepower hours if you’d like. Or BTU

[–] [email protected] 16 points 3 days ago (2 children)

I'm all for paying my electric bill in horsepower/hours. That feels very American. How many V8s is my house?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I'd be horsepower * hour, since horsepower is a unit, of, well, power, and [Energy] = [Power]*[Time]

But might as well go for an obscure time unit as well at that point. Horsepower Sennights, baby

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago

Hmm but couldn't we then also go even further and assume an idealized muscle car with an effective transmission to its wheels of 1:1 running at its optimal torque vs speed point and thus with a given speed of its wheels rotation for a given time?

Aka convert energy into miles (traveled) or something (with the choice of motor and wheel diameter and everything else standardized ofc.)?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I’m gonna need you to repent and convert to metric
