  • First of all, nobody here ever said the USA was great.

    China is an authoritarian state which bans the mere sharing of information as a criminal offense. They have successfully committed multiple genocides. They promote war abroad by backing similar regimes in North Korea, Vietnam, Indonesia, Venezuela, Cuba, and Iran, often funneling weapons in during the process. They singlehandedly kept the Russian invasion of Ukraine afloat. They have conquered Tibet and Hong Kong with millitant force and are preparing to conquer Taiwan and part of India. They used the IRGC to attack a music festival in Israel and jumpstart the most recent round of war across the entire middle east. They now have military footholds across Africa recently. They promoted Donald Trump and the GOP as well as alt-right leaders in Germany and other EU provinces. Even their trade practices are scummy by utilizing largescale slave labor and subsidies to undercut all competition and doing currency manipulation to make countries under hard times have even harder times as their economic recovery is seen as strengthening their enemies: everyone not subservient is their enemy.

    So fuck China. China is the largest threat to human life on earth. China must be destroyed before they destroy us all.

  • Beijing operated psyop TikTok favored Republicans and even promoted Trump by name, leading to the largest ever shift rightwards to conservative among youth voters ever recorded in the USA.

  • Well, now you're contradicting yourself from earlier when you stated we were discussing Calcium Carbonate and Silicate.

    The Calcium Carbonate degrades into Calcium Oxide. Calcium Oxide will form Calcium Hydroxide on the cured surface.

    The only reliable way to seperate the Calcium from the oxidation afaik would be the introduction of Chlorine, so you're definitely not seeing the reverse happening regardless of how much carbon dioxide there is.

  • Its really frustrating that DuoLingo fired a bunch of its linguists for AI a short while back.

  • Counterpoint: China helped elect Trump

  • Only if it is uncoated iron rebar. There are also coated rebar, galvanized rebar, stainless steel rebar, or fiberglass rebar.

    Iron is the most popular rebar among workers for its ability to be shaped by hand and easily cut, but it's lacking in longevity due to its chemical vulnerability.

    Galvanized is also weak to chemical attacks but from Alkaline attacks.

  • Carbonation causes acidity and the traditional methods of creating concrete involves furnaces which introduce various forms of carbonation. The Calcium Carbonate once dissolved in water will start to form the Calcium Hydroxide layer on the surface, thats the alkaline layer, and deeper in the carbonation creates acidity.

  • In outpatient care it's not nearly as skewed from my experience, but at least you bring anecdotal evidence rather than nothing at all so thanks for contributing to the discussion.

    I am a bit jadef against the previous commenter because he is a known slopper promoting these shitbots.

  • The concrete is actually highly acidic but the outer layer cures to become alkaline and the two layers together end up becoming water resistant, so by adding acid to the surface it can lose its water repellent capability and weaken faster.

    If the concrete were sealed with a wax or an acrylic then Acetone would also be effective.

  • Not basically, that's exactly what it is.

    Fun Fact, United Healthcare has been rolling out automated claim handleing and denial for a couple of years now, leading to increased denial rates, even after their CEO was murdered.

  • Thats such a stupid claim that others become more stupid just from reading it

  • It doesn't do any of those things comparably to a trained human being.

    It is also a massive liability for privacy and HIPPA laws, among other more immediate harm it can cause by misdiagnosis or misinformation.

  • I want clinics who rolled this out to be prosecuted for negligence resulting in bodily harm.

  • The NSA has a Github page and I was really surprised to see they use a heck of a lot of Python. This was before the Trump admin.

  • They threw balloons over the fence to weaken concrete with Salt, Acetic Acid, Peroxide, and acrylic paint at some bare concrete and steel where a facility is going to be built.

    I feel like the guy with the paint didn't understand the memo.

  • Reminder that any such coin is commemorative and holds no actual value, nor is it protected from being intentionally destroyed, or else the creation of the coin is illegal.

  • Vice Captain knows. Vice Captain has always known.

  • As long as competition stays high I think corporate scale makes sense for things like logistics, retail, franchises, etc.

  • mobo if it has no soul, otherwise storage

  • Arguably the sealed metal doors on plane cockpits are safer but they didn't cost 14 Trillion.
