Rev. Poppy Haze 𓅋

being fired from my job at the weighted blanket factory for suggesting the new super weighted blanket should use depleted uranium pellets

@poppyhaze clearly that should be enriched uranium pellets, we only want the best for our customers

@poppyhaze just pack an equivalent amount of boron-10 carbide pellets in there and you've got yourself an RTG blanket.

@poppyhaze understandable, lead would be much more cost effective

@kirin depleted uranium is a waste product and very cheap

@poppyhaze crm.jrc.ec.europa.eu/graphics/ it doesn't seem to be at all cheaper than natural or enriched uranium, though I'm learning the price varies a lot regardless of enrichment level

@kirin @poppyhaze that's reference materials, not something you'd ever buy in bulk

@whitequark @kirin Boeing for instance used to put depleted uranium as counterweights in airplane mechanisms because it was essentially free for them.
