They still had the mens rea to defraud the state as false electors even if they were delusional enough to believe the election was fraudulent. They didn't believe they were the actual electors at any point.

That's the fun part. If you take just one proton off, you'll often end up with some gold that just decays back into mercury in a few days. Sell it for a quick prank.

So it's not real. It's a meme that serious journalists are asking him about.

YouTube knows Modi would love to make hay out of them censoring Hindus. They're like the evangelicals in that way. Always oppressed.

Tritated water is toxic just like heavy water. You'd just have to drink a truly ridiculous amount for it to be toxic, to the point that the radiation is a much bigger problem than the toxicity.

Edit: fully tritated water is actually worse, now that I think about it. The radioactive decay will periodically knock off a hydrogen atom, which makes it very reactive. That's not what this is though.

I don't think it would hurt their image at all. They would be well within their rights to imprison him for the crossing. The US would do the same. I think they more want to exemplify US soldiers as incompetent fuckups by using him as an example.

Nobody's particularly concerned about the actual radiation of the tritium. It's just that it is actively picked up by your body and used like any other water with the same biological half life of water at 7 days. It can cause some problems in that time. It's not really a problem of it getting integrated into anything, since all it'll do is knock itself off of and destroy whatever it gets incorporated into when it decays.

I was just hoping for more cyberpunk style corporate warfare. I mean a gambling company and a corrupt monopoly decide to fight? Where are the bombings of corporate headquarters? You can't tell me they can't recruit a bunch of mercs to try and save them that 150 million.

I think most reasonable objections to this were that they would be unable to filter out the actual bioaccumulating radioisotopes from the water and it should've been kept in retention. In the end you either trust they will or not. I trust they will.

If their reporting of the quantity of tritium is accurate, India's candu style plants release more incidentally than this will.
