yes, actually yes. I would do it differently though, I would use sodium and burn it in water to create the particulate matter, this would accomplish more than one goal, it would block a percentage point of the Solar energy and would percipitate into the ocean water deacidifying it. If done xorrectly, maybe as NaK alloy it can also be used to generate power while burning in water.

Could you end up with trying to install a not-so-great distro on a machine that has some unusual hardware? And have to take a dive into stuff? Sure. But that is the exception, not the rule, at least not in 2025.

And, to be fair, I've had friends and co-workers run into that sort of thing on Windows. Quite a lot.

During my power company career a few decades ago, this was a real thing. But that was due to the use of power-hungry HID lamps. Today, it's mainly LED lamps, which consume much less power. Small grow operations consumption data drops down into the noise level of typical home use.

Large grows can be found by walking drug dogs through your neighborhood. Or drones equiped with chemical sensors.

disproportionately harming the Asian community.

I wasn't aware that cannabis use (drugs in particular) were a serious problem in the Asian comunity. Particularly due to the exploitation of the Chinese by the British opium trade in the 19th century, most of the people of Asian descent that I associate with steer clear of the "white man's drugs".

The US did not even had to mine the uranium for the bomb. They got it from Germany in April 1945,

Not completely correct. We had all the U-235 we needed for a bomb plus plutonium production by that date. We did seize and ship back the German supplies captured. But that was in part to keep them out of other parties (Soviet) hands.

No, he chose war in Europe, this is the next step for putin. You didn't really think the ruzzian murderers that make up their armed forces will be allowed to return back to the motherland alive, did you? The next target is Estonia or Latvia, then Poland and the rest will follow. Regardless what anyone thinks, ruzzia has learned to fight the next type of war and nobody is ready for this except for one nation, that is holding the orcs - Ukraine.
