  • Yes. Only in fantasy land. As Logi above said, nuclear detonation is an extremely precise, controlled process that has very specific conditions to achieve successfully. Even an actual fission bomb only manages to consume a fraction of the radioactive material.

    The only thing someone would achieve by denotating a conventional explosive near a reactor or nuclear stockpile is spreading highly radioactive dust around. That does not nor will ever look like uncontrolled nuclear fission, let alone a detonation from a thermonuclear warhead.




  • The magic cable typically goes into ISP-owned hardware sitting in a box somewhere down the street. From there, it’s either converted into fiber optic signals or repeated until it reaches an ISP-owned building where the data can be exchanged with the wider internet.

    How does so much data go through a single-pin coax cable?

    It uses multiple channels (frequency ranges) in parallel, bonding (combining) them to increase throughput.

    A surprising amount of bandwidth can be achieved this way. DOCSIS 4.0 can do 10 gigabits per second in download and 6 gigabits per second in upload.





  • Might be. It is definitely a thing, though.

    When I used to work for a large American corporation that sold products to consumers, they took it extremely seriously and breaking it would result in disciplinary action. It probably had something to do with advertisement laws, but it also easily could have just been because it makes the company look very bad.

    one place even asked people to write fake reviews on Trustpilot/job sites

    That sounds unethical, to say the least. Did they verify if you actually did it, or just “suggest” you do?

    In a Musk-approved world:

    • You’re hit by a Tesla in FSD mode, the driver gets sued for not driving.
    • You’re hit by a fully autonomous Tesla taxi, you get sued for vandalism.
    • You’re the driver and FSD hit someone, you get sued.
    • You’re the owner and the car hits someone while you’re not in it, you get sued for owning it.
    • You’re the owner and it catches fire with you inside, you(r estate) gets sued for “not maintaining it”.
