Hence a "dirty" bomb not really having much nuclear material.

Then everyone gets the Big Sick

Also, the higher the fission, the bigger the blast. The lower the fission, the lower the blast, but the stuff that was supposed to explode is much more radioactive, and is suddenly everywhere.

To end this physics lecture: Uranium 235 is the rare stuff that's dangerous, and uranium 238 isn't as dangerous. In a payload they use uranium enriched with 20% 235 which when fissioned becomes 238 (and sometimes 236)

Oh my... California wants to live dangerously with the next disaster.

How could they stop using something that sounds so delicious?

I blame the Islamists.

> Last month, repeater operators were sent emails telling them the State would no longer allow them to operate repeaters on public land without paying substantial rental fees.
Put them on private property then 🤷

The communist thinks we should put things on private property, guess those people out on public lands can just die

There is no graphite on the ground move along commrades

Just put the repeaters on private property <:pot_of_kek:544849795433496586>

Why should the state support your dying hobby?

People dont own private property in the hundreds of thousands of miles of national forrest and state parks

The radio signals can still reach them 🤷

The whole reason for those is to open uo communication and co-ordination with search and rescue, wildland firefighters, etc.

People who know nothing of a subject shouldnt open their mouth about it

The whole issue is that the Californian government cannot keep paying the maintenance costs for these repeaters

Signals dont reach over mountains, through areas with variant topography.

Pfft

Hence are asking people to either pay, or host them themselves

The maintenance cost for these are usually covered by operators

And even if they weren't

So they can happily pay the fee and nothing changes then <:pot_of_kek:544849795433496586>

It would be at best a microscopic fraction of the state budget

I wonder where all that money from state and county emergency services budgets they cut is going.

We can afford a high speed rail from bakersfield to Modesto but not keep uo our communications infrastructure in wilderness and high risk areas

Get fucked California

> However, with constantly changing technological advances, there is no longer the same benefit to State as previously provided. Therefore, the Department no longer financially supports HAM operators radios or tenancy. If you desire to enter into a formal agreement to operate and maintain said equipment, you must complete and submit attached collocation application along with fee as outlined on page one of application.

What's wrong with that?

Why are you mad that the state won't subsidies your hobby anymore?

Did you even read the rest of that document

The 14 examples of it being used?

If you want to have a debate with me fine but don't go quote mining to satisfy your bullshit confirmation bias, that was the example email used in a document talking about how such measure would devestate their ability to respond to emergencies both fire and rescue related

Those capabilities which are being replaced?

Through the expansion of cellular networks?

:brainlet:

Cellular networks dont work in shasta area

Neither does HAM without the repeaters, your point?
