Why the fuck would we evacuate Hawaii just because of nuclear accidents a quarter of the way around the world from it? The Pacific is big, really big, and water is very good at absorbing radiation. I mean, vast quantities of nuclear pollution in the SCS would be an environmental disaster of unprecedented magnitude, but it's not like everyone in Japan is going to get radiation poisoning suddenly, let alone the people in Hawaii. Remember how many times we nuked random islands in the '50s and '60s, just to test things out? Not a good thing to do, since it kicked a lot of radioactive dust into the atmosphere, but you'll note Hawaii is still inhabited.

One thing I would like to add to that point is the amount of nuclear testing that was done in the Nevada desert in the 1950's and 60's as well. Iodine 131 exposure leads to thyroid disease, hence how come there is such a high prevalence of endocrine associated disorders since the nuke age in certain portions of North America. This event unfolding, I wouldn't say that it would ruin the entire Pacific, quite a bit of a hysterical take. Though it will for sure fuck a lot of the marine life, and considering that the Pacific Ocean is where the marine life thrive. We could see some serious consequences to the food supply in Asia, a long with the amount of agriculture it would destroy (on top of the pandemic && epidemic(s) ).

People also tend to forget the amount of environmental damage the non-nuke factor would cause, because think about how China essentially is the worlds industrial waste land at this point. If even some of the residual chemical waste, let alone the bio-hazards that are going to get leached in the ocean, will probably fuck a lot of things up in that neighborhood for a long time. That would the untimely demise of the CPP at that point, no need for any type of conflict what so ever at that point, and then the commie cannibalization can begin. Either way though, I don't see the current communist China surviving beyond the mid 2020's at this stage in the game, too much bad shit in too little of time.

Salt water is quite an efficient neutron sink; so yeah, the Pacific ocean & sealife won't be irradiated by garbage just floating by, even if it's literally glowing. The risk comes from anything ingesting/touching made-in-China shit.

There's a reason why US/Russian/etc naval vessels (submarines & surface attack) still carry nuke torpedos; glowing holes in the ocean disappear very fast.
 
I was wondering when a thread like this would pop up. Serpentza had a thing about the dams on ADV Podcasts a while back.
 
Presented without comment:
After watching this video, and thinking about the hold the Chinese have over Western media (American specifically), I'm curious if they in fact are the ones to, if not starting then at least perpetuating the idea of Jewish people being superior, as well as other Jewish-like things. After all, the ADL, SPLC, and other (((organizations))) have a lot of similarities with the CCP. :thinking:
 
i love this video, at 9:38 she pretty much spells it out for him and he still doesnt want to admit it

re: Chinese Products. Youtube is absolutely filled with Tech Youtubers exposing fake nVidia video card scams. No matter how you slice it, from a joe consumer point of view, a video card regardless of age is a high-tech item, manufacturing one means a rather extensive parts supply chain, specialized machinery and tooling, trained workers, etc. You don't do it for a one-off or even a ten-off, you make thousands of them in a single go. No factory in China operates without the full involvement of the ChiCom gov't. No I don't mean Winnie the Pooh himself inspecting it, but there are party members at pretty much every level. Ipso facto that GTX 1050 6gb ultra super overclocked 4k VR ready PCIe-32 card you bought off Amazon (yep, they're on Amazon) or Wish or Ebay or Ali Baba for $90 USD, that wasn't made by some back-alley scammer in Shenzhen, that was a 3rd-shift, mass produced card with dozens of people in the chain - including Chinese gov't officials. Every fake pirate good from China isn't just being sent west by some mustache twirling douchebag, it's all part and parcel of government policy. Imagine if the US Gov't had a shadow Bureau of Dodgy Goods that made sure our less expensive exports were just garbage products, made from junk parts. That's what goes on in Grorious Chinee Pepers Lepubrick.


I was looking in to getting some guitars made in China. Fantasy land really. But I had a spare few dollars and just wanted to work out the logistics of it. I'm glad I did. You can get super cheap guitar parts on alibaba or wtf, or you can get them made up at 'source' in the chink factories, but even though it's not SUPER industrial grade metal needed, a guitar bridge or tuner or whatever still needs to be able to bear a certain load. I read too many examples of them making shit out of tin pots and whatnot that failed as soon as any load bearing stress was put on them (to be fair, a tightened guitar string does bear a certain amount of stress). So not really worth it. You could pay more to get better quality stuff, but they pulled the same tricks as well so there really was no way to know if you were going to save a decent amount of money or waste all the cash you put in. I gave up in the end.

The last thing you want is some tuner or guitar bridge snapping in half and a high-tension string taking your eye out. And apparently some of these things did just fall apart - even when they were just being screwed on to the guitar body! No thanks.


The thing is there are some high quality factories in China if you can oversee the quality control, but you pretty much have to live there or have a very trusted associate. So no go for me. It was going to be a fun vanity project that maybe I might have made a few quid on - I certainly didn't want to lose money. They lost out by being untrustworthy. They have the cheap labour, they have the industrial CNC machines, and they have enough high IQ managers to oversee the project. But there seems to be this culture of everyone expecting their bit for favors owed or favors future...


Funny thing. Got a door hanger on the back of my door for you know, hanging coats and whatnot. Only been up a couple of months. Put a 'light' shirt on it the other day and the fucking thing snapped off and my shirt fell to the floor. I mean, it snapped in the main metal part of it, under hardly any load bearing stress. Probably made out of tin pots as well.

When I grew up, I don't remember any small metal object like that just disentegrating under hardly any pressure at all. They make this shit out of old coke cans I swear it and just give it a lick of paint.

Exactly. You can safely swim in a nuclear rod storage pond in a nuclear plant as long as you don't get within about 2m of the rods themselves. Long-term space missions propose using the craft's water supply as a shielding material around the inhabited areas because it's so effective at absorbing particle radiation.

I mean, when you consider how much natural uranium there is in sea water (including the high neutron isotopes), anything that humans could dump in it would be insignificant by comparison. The main worry from nuclear fuel washing out to sea is that it's a toxic heavy metal. The far bigger issue would be all the toxic waste from the extraction and refinement of rare earths and heavy metals that takes place in central China. That shit turned huge swathes of the country orange and purple. It'll fuck over the south china sea for decades if it gets washed out there.

If I may amend your poem slightly to make it flow better:

"tfw> of all sad words of ink and pen, /pol/ was right again."

A very minor change makes the syllable count equal on both sides of the comma which is more pleasing to read and hear. I am treating "tfw>" as a separate part; to me it seemed like the title.

"tfw> of all sad words of ink and pen, it looks like /pol/ was right again."

This is a forum full of wumao types that a /pol/ user accidentally stumbled upon. In the/tgdg/ threads, there have been countless wumao trying their best to derail it. After linking the below thread, it was deleted, and unfortunately there is no archive.

I think the original is "Of all the sad words of ink and pen / the worst are '/pol/ was right again' "
 
Found a few more videos of the utter carnage taking place in China today re: the floods.

I'm a twitter moron and they aren't archived. But it's late here and I don't think these will be taken down any time soon. This is a new channel or rather these vids only have a couple of hundred views, so I'm pretty sure this hasn't been posted here already. The videos are from today apparently. Bold captions are mine.

Serious flooding, cars submerged, general chaos -


Hailstones the size of golfballs. Breaking windscreens on cars -



Serious flooding -


Hurricane like conditions. Trees felled. More chaos -


...


This is from a few days ago. Infrastructure collapsing. Fukushima level disaster zone -




I think the chinks are probably just trying to shore up the resources to deal with this humanitarian disaster on their doorstep. So yeah, now would be a good time to hit them with all this diplomatic shit that has been going on in the UK and US. Not a political bod really so won't offer any more than that. Strange timing though. All of a sudden.

Hopefully they do the right thing and look after their own people who have been displaced and affected by this. There must be hundreds dead if not thousands by this point. Water borne diseases to follow. Again, not my area of expertise. But you don't need to have a crystal ball to see this alone is going to have long term impact. And that's without the 'Big One' kicking off, which hopefully it won't. If nothing else, it puts too much of a spanner in international geo-politics at a time when there are already enough spanners in there sabotaging the system anyway.

Most of that infrastructure isn't built to last anyway, like in Japan. There's something like a 30-40 year lifecycle for reasons that escape me at the moment. Then again, building 20 story hotels on the banks of rivers that are prone to flooding - well, 30-40 years becomes extremely optimistic by that point. You are gonna get some kind of bad natural disaster within that time frame.

Man plans.
God laughs.
The chinks build more 30 story hotels 40 feet below a critical flood plain.

Wew.
 
Even if the dam doesn't fall, it's kind of crazy to me that China built a dam that will set back civilization if it collapses. I knew it had issues, but didn't realize the extent.
What are some other things like that, besides the obvious nuclear power plants? I knew someone who claimed you could bring the world down by blocking some specific canal where most cargo ships go through or something.

The two really big canals are the Panama and the Suez. Panama is a bigger deal IIRC. There's also the Strait of Hormuz and the Malacca Straits
