    Russian propaganda makes Republicans weird
  • Eh, I'd say willingly believing obvious Russian Propaganda, and then even going so far as to say, *What's wrong with Russia? They aren't our enemy," in an attempt excuse their gullibility, makes them weird.

    Yes, I have had this conversation with obviously gullible people here on Lemmy over the past year. I remember some guy saying how Tim Pool is such an intellectual. How he used to be this super liberal guy from Vice News until he saw the "truth" and became a hardcore Alt-Right nutjob staunch conservative.

    Ukrainian group says it plans court challenge to prevent release of names of alleged Nazi war criminals
  • Hundreds TO thousands. And crazy people.

    Hell, look at the Arlington Cemetery worker that is scared to press charges because of the threats of crazy people. You tell people that REAL LIFE (descendants of) NAZI'S exist down the street and who the fuck knows what they'll do. People can be monstrous, especially so when you give them a reason to despise/fear/be enraged at someone else.

  • Mate, you be huffing so much of that Fox News, you done lost the plot. Your a conservative think-tanks favorite sort of stupid - easily swayed by fear and rage, moldable to be whatever zealot they need, and able to parrot a talking point without actually knowing what your talking about. Your a sheep brother. Baa! Lol

    www.sciencedaily.com Little bacterium may make big impact on rare-earth processing

    A tiny, hard-working bacterium -- which weighs one-trillionth of a gram -- may soon have a large influence on processing rare earth elements in an eco-friendly way.

    A tiny, hard-working bacterium -- which weighs one-trillionth of a gram -- may soon have a large influence on processing rare earth elements in an eco-friendly way.

    "Traditional thermochemical methods for separating lanthanides are environmentally horrible," said Buz Barstow, assistant professor of biological and environmental engineering at Cornell, the corresponding author. "It's difficult to refine these elements. That's why we send rare earth elements offshore -- generally to China -- to process them."

    In a surprising new study, researchers have found that the electron beam radiation that they previously thought degraded crystals can actually repair cracks in these nanostructures. The groundbreaking discovery provides a new pathway to create more perfect crystal nanostructures, a process that is c...

    Not sure how useful it is yet, but it sounds like with some AI and proper cameras you could use it to completely repair certain components. Theres something similar to this using electrochemical plating to repair microfractures throughout a component - only downside is that it takes like weeks to do it properly (I'll see if I can dig up the paper later)

    www.sciencedaily.com Researchers create method for making net-zero aviation fuel

    An interdisciplinary team of researchers has developed a potential breakthrough in green aviation: a recipe for a net-zero fuel for planes that will pull carbon dioxide (CO2) out of the air.

    The proposed fuel is not SAF, it's a combination of magnesium and hydrogen mixed with hydrocarbon fuel. It's estimated to give 8% more range over other existing aviation fuels.

    MechE's, what would you like to see in this community?

    Hello everyone!

    I'm looking for suggestions in how we can grow and develop this community. We have a chance to develop something interesting and the impetus of this change will rely upon all of us to make it happen. Are there any ideas that you'd like to see implemented here? Community events? Challenges? Support?

    I'd love to see this place flourish, and anything that I can do to draw interest would be fantastic.

    Thanks for your suggestions!
