  2. 1 t of aluminium requires spending of 600 kg of graphite electrodes, ru-wiki says. Alternatively, you can reduce it chemically from chloride with sodium or potassium amalgam (the historicaly first process, used in mid-XIX), much more expensive. Or you can reduce it with CO at 2000+ C temperatures, which is also not the easiest and the cheapest way. The alumina together with silica are one of the most stable compounds in the universe, that's why the rockey planets consist mostly of them. So, as Mercury is solid, the direct splitting of the alumina with solar power looks having problems. Iirc, to the date the real achievement was to split several hundred grams of stones, and just to extract the oxygen. As the solid waste would consist of aluminium, magnesium, titanium, and iron, and be polluted with sulfur, so their further separation will result into something not very different from the current process. Maybe also, they will need to oxidize them to separate the stable Al2O3 from others, lol. "To produce 1000 kg of raw aluminium, you need 1920 kg of alumina, 65 kg of cryolite (Na3AlF6, sodium hexafluoroaluminate, the deposists are very rare, but is produced from fluorite), 35 kg of aluminium fluoride (still requires fluorite), 600 kg of anode graphite electrodes, and about 17 MWh = 61 GJ of electric energy."
  3. When? Once you have killed it with fire. It's Phoenix, after all. It works this way.
  4. The pessimists tell that KSP2 is KIA. The optimists tell that KSP2 is MIA.
  5. So, the part of the superserious servers, powered with Linux, has appeared to be much smaller than the Linux enthusiasts were telling.
  6. "What do you mean: 'Some parts are incompatible with RSS/RO, and will be removed' ?"
  7. True Borg could not say "We are Borg" to somebody, because there is only one single Borg, and because any non-Borg is already Borg, just temporarily separated.
  8. They use their tongues to steal a bit of coins from the pockets. As there are bullsquids, are there dogsquids and horsesquids?
  9. The hungry vegans. If you have a barnacle farm, are you farming or herding?
  10. When the e-cash gets completely broken, you still can use a flash as the cash.
  11. Calling 911 because there was no such company.
  12. Granted. You download bomfunk_freestyler.mp3 I wish the rap music was never invented.
  13. Floor 5386: Two palindromes merged together: cic + ada.
  14. The cicadas appear to be an arthropod cockatrice, a cicatrice, and ban you.
  15. How could Hamlet know about the porcupines in his forgotten century? In his banned century.
  16. Based on porcupines and exclamation, some banned poetry by Kipling. Googled. Hamlet. Wait, so Kipling has written Hamlet instead of Shakespeare? Or it was his nickname?

  18. Banned for banning for honesty.
  19. He what? Helium or Heinkel? Banned for uncertainty. Also, why do the missiles speak?
  20. Gets Martin. Inserts the fake Winterfell key.
