  • Cringe…

    AI slop?

    Plutonium-238’s half-life is 87.7 years, Americium-241 is 432.6 years. Which… is almost 5 times longer, so… not sure why that’s cringe?

    With an atomic number of 241, it’s hardly small.

    I believe they’re referring to the fact that it’s not an element of major topic. This is the first time I’ve ever heard of it.

    I think this could be compelling given that tech continues to get more power efficient. I don’t know the numbers, but if we were to launch the same tech that’s on Voyager 1/2 today, would we be able to do that with 1/5 the power? If so, those probes could likely still have all their instruments running if they used Americium.



  • I’m in Denver as well, you can’t find regular eggs in stock. The only thing I can find is the cage-free/brown egg stuff. So this price isn’t too far off (especially for King Soopers (Kroger). I’ve seen price tags for as low as $5.50, but never in stock (this was at Trader Joe’s).

    I go to a local grocery store, end of last year a dozen eggs could be had on special (pretty regularly) for $1. I spent $4.50 for a half-dozen on sale… ($9/dozen). It came with a card that said Jubilant Julie is the bird of the month, LMAO. This was the cheapest option, including sold-out stuff.

    My recommendation to OP is stop shopping at King Soopers and Safeway. Shop around, try out Sprouts, Trader Joe’s, Target, etc. Or, better yet, find a local grocery store (Brother’s Market, Max Market, Clark’s Market, Sun Market, Syracuse Market to name a few). Not only will it probably be a better product for the same/less price, but you’ll support a local business and you won’t have to wait in line for 10+ soul-crushing minutes.
