| Topic | Julian Castro has had it with bullshit Iowa |
| Great_Reapette 11/14/19 3:18:10 PM #31 | Balrog0 posted... Though to be clear I dont see the video in the OP criticizing Iowa for being first so much as criticizing the fact that they're always first.Oh yeah, no, that's a plenty fair point to make. There have been a number of plans suggested for either changing up the order or randomising it, but always tending to favour smaller states first (because otherwise their voices would be drowned out), and they're all pretty good ideas. Which is why it's a wonder that they've all been shot down. Florida and Michigan lost all of their delegates in 2008 because they did do thisnewsflash: the DNC is dumb, more at 11 --- "A learning experience is one of those things that say, "You know that thing you just did?

The only pairing of states that's whiter than Iowa and New Hampshire(IIRC) is Utah and Vermont.Vermont, Maine, New Hampshire, WV, and then Iowa. Julian Castro is saying that putting them first is sidelining more diverse states that are more representative of not only the Democratic Party's base, but of America at-large.yeah I suppose. man, it sure sucks to have to wait your turn. absolute way to marginalise anyone. California? New York? they don't mean shit when a state with a population less than their largest cities gets a say --- "A learning experience is one of those things that say, "You know that thing you just did?

And as for the polonium thing, you're technically right, but that's still a pretty big risk to be taking, since even a bit of dust could very well put you six feet under, and if you have more than a bit of dust it's probably a bit hot to be handling given the radioactivity. --- "A learning experience is one of those things that say, "You know that thing you just did?

Osmium is also toxicOsmium itself isn't toxic but when exposed to air, especially if powdered, it develops into the tetroxide, which is unpleasant stuff.

Depleted uranium isn't that toxicnot compared to undepleted uranium but it's definitely not something that I'd want to eat a bar of. polonium is worse, of course, but polonium is worse than damn near everything So what are the applications for tungsten?incandescent fillings, tungsten arc welding, X-ray tubes, weights, jewelry (painted gold) far and away its most important uses are in high-temperature situations because of its strength and stupidly high melting point tungsten since it's the hardest substance on the planetdiamond --- "A learning experience is one of those things that say, "You know that thing you just did?

| Great_Reapette 11/13/19 9:52:50 PM #10 | DU is slightly less compact, at 19.1 g/cc, but the main reasons to use tungsten over it are that tungsten's not radioactive, it's not going to catch fire, and it's a bit less toxic. But yeah, most of the applications where tungsten really excels just aren't with weapons. --- "A learning experience is one of those things that say, "You know that thing you just did?

| Great_Reapette 11/13/19 9:40:04 PM #8 | As far as weaponry goes, the only real practical use for tungsten itself is in bullets, which it's admittedly pretty good at, but for some reason I don't think that that's what you're interested in. Also, to touch in on the tungsten carbide thing, it's about 15 g/cc, so I wouldn't call it "light" (still twice as heavy as the steel) but "lighter" is an apt description. --- "A learning experience is one of those things that say, "You know that thing you just did?
