Since this board is slower than molasses, I thought we could speculate on what the future might hold in regards to politics. We can talk about current events or our predictions. Then we can come back and see if our predictions were right.

The 2024 U.S. presidential election will end with Trump winning under two conditions:
1) The Democratic Party allows Biden to seek re-election, despite his geriatric age and neoliberal policies.
2) Both Biden and Trump do not die.
>>12
why would the democratic party be opposed to neoliberal policies?
or geriatric age, for that matter
>>13
Nah, I'm just saying he's super old and the general populace dislike his current neoliberal policies.

In the year 2024 there will be a natural catastrophè in an east asian region leading to hunger and starvation, and later war between citizens in the country as they fail to stabilize the country after the happening.

Stop Japs claiming over our territory!!
Please support Korea!!
Korea was allied country with USA during WW2!!
Thanks to Korean support,USA could make victory over Japs!!
ALL American should not forget this fact!!
After a video went around of a TV show in korea that was like an exact replica of an anime called doraemon in japan, it is a running joke that korea copies everything from japan. It gets to a ridiculous level sometimes like now. Japan has always had takeshima and korea tried to take it over when tons of people migrated their illegally from korea

As this is the ever-highly speculative Science board, I put to you a highly speculative scenario: Are you a bad enough dude/construction company/government agency/super villain to stop a volcano? Can you think of a way to take enough energy out of the equation to make a volcano sputter rather than explode?
I say this with the threat of Uturuncu popping its top sometime soon and potentially messing with the weather even worse than Pinatubo did. Also, I'm all about job creation...
Don't hold back! I want to hear crazy ideas.

I have a special porn folder ready for that day.
You could probably earn more than a million bucks by defusing volcanoes.
Someone needs to defuse the Kilauea volcano before it blows its top and kills us all!!
>>22
Kilauea is a shield volcano which means it never does anything except gently burp lava. The only people it's going to kill are locals and dumb tourists, and even that's only likely if there's another pyroclastic flow like in 1790.
Ok, I'm thinking our best bet would be >>15-san's idea.
According to Wikipedia, the Altiplano-Puna Magma Body has a volume of 50,000 km^3. Our goal should to change the melt from felsic/intermediate to mafic. This requires increasing the temperature by ~300 C, and the iron composition by about 7%.
Using a density of 2.5 g/cm^3 for andesite, and a specific heat capacity of 591 J/kg*K, we get 1.25*10^17 kg of magma, containing about 9.5*10^22 J of heat energy. Increasing the temperature by 300 C would require an additional 4*10^22 J. For reference the largest nuke ever set of (Tsar Bomba), released 50,000 tons of TNT worth of energy, or about 2*10^14 J. We'll need about 200,000,000 Tsar Bombas to pull this off. I didn't look in to it too far, but there is probably enough uranium on the planet to make these bombs.
Next is the iron. Probably the easiest way to do this is to drill grid of boreholes (like >>7-san mentioned) across the Altiplano-Puna plateau, and just feed the drill steel straight into the magma. To increase the iron by 7%, we'll need 2,000 km^3 of iron, or 1.4*10^16 kg. World pig iron production was 1180 million metric tons in 2015, so we'll only need 12 years to produce that much.
In short, it is a lot more feasible than you might think. Obviously, I haven't considered the logistics of getting everything to the mountain. Also, I don't really know how we would get the nukes to the magma. More boreholes?
Some additional thoughts:
The nearest town is Antofagasta, which already has a big port due to the mining companies. Also, about half of the distance to the mountain is already covered by Ferrocarril de Antofagasta a Bolivia. We would likely have to lay ~200 km of new rail from Calama to the mountain.
Additionally, the current railway only handles about 2 million tons of freight per year, so it would need to be significantly expanded. The Daqin railway in China can transport 440 million metric tons per year, so three lines similar to that would be sufficient.
The port will need to be expanded, as well. Ningbo-Zhoushan port, also in China, supposedly the largest port in the world by tonnage, would almost be able to handle the load. I couldn't find how many berths are in Antofagasta, but we will likely need about 200.
Finally, I think that producing the uranium for the nukes will probably require the most effort. Refining an entire planet's worth of uranium is a non-trivial task. According to Wikipedia, it takes 62 SWU to produce 10 kg of low-enriched uranium. If current world enrichment capacity is 66700 SWU/yr, we will need at least 100,000 times more enrichment capacity to hit our 12 year schedule. (Someone should double check this calculation.)
>>24-25
Nice work. This seems like a worthwhile endeavor.
Do you think detonating 200,000 large-payload nuclear devices might have any side effects that would need to be managed?
I was thinking fallout, mainly, but I also wonder if there's a risk of the pressure waves triggering a secondary earthquake, since most volcanoes lie near fault lines.
Any ideas how to defuse an earthquake?
>>26
Ok, I lost track of this thread when /science/ got the ax, but take a look at this:
https://www.usgs.gov/faqs/can-nuclear-explosions-cause-earthquakes
I'm no earthquake pro, but it seems like the energy release by the nukes actually helps to reduce the risk of a quake. Remember that earthquakes are caused when stress builds up because rocks at the fault can't move with the rest of the plate. So, if the blast can shake the fault loose a little, it actually serves to reduce the energy stored in the fault line.
You got me thinking about fallout, and I realized a problem with this plan.
Check out the abstract and intro of this paper:
https://www.geothermalresourcegroup.com/site/assets/files/1263/2009_dacite_melt_at_the_puna_geothermal_venture_wellfield.pdf
It sounds like when a drill hits a magma body, the it flows up the borehole and then freezes, and then they drill through the new rock until they hit the magma again, and so on. This makes me think we are going to have a hard time actually getting in to the magma body itself. Originally, I had figured that if we can get the bombs sufficiently deep in to the magma body, the fallout will be contained due to the viscosity of the magma (this also gives us maximum heat transfer in to the magma). Now I am not too sure. Any thoughts? Perhaps there is a better way.
I thought society was collapsing because German Catholic priests were defying Pope Francis with public blessings of gay couples. Which one is it? Pick a root cause for society's collapse and stick to it.

So Afghanistan just fell to the Taliban.
What're your thoughts on that?
Is the future of Afghanistan grim?
Will we see a resurgence of Al-Qaeda?
*Liberation of Afghanistan
Is the future of Afghanistan grim??? Afghanistan has never not been grim. Most Afghans will not notice any difference.
So long as they stay true to their "you don't bother us and we don't bother you" policy I couldn't care less how many of their women and children they stone to death for wanting to be like the trendy thots abd zoomers in the western world.

I don't think Al-Qaeda is coming back. Taliban will convert the country into a sharia ruled islamic state. It will be awful for the women there, countries will avoid doing business with Afghanistan, and the people will be just as poor as always, but with some people having less rights. If foreign nations stay out of Afghanistan I think Taliban will prefer to maintain status quo of them not being invaded so they can focus on building business relationships with other islamic states and rebuild their country, but this will take a very long time. Villagers in general will notice little to no difference, they're poor and isolated either way just doing their own thing.

its a news aggergator, no one asked you to post on it.
Is it already dead or what?
I honestly don't think they will be able to emulate 2/5channel news boards and their aggregator sites.
It's a cool idea, except for the fact that the numbers restart.
What do you mean by the numbers restarting? I'm not sure I understand.
Mistyped. I meant to say "expect for the fact that the numbers don't restart."
There's just something more pleasing about seeing post numbers on textboard threads go from 1 to 1000, instead of hopping all over the place.

Fuck the Han chinese. Fuck china. the govt is so racist and corrupt and Han chinese are so racist and dont give a shit about minority cultures. Fuck china. shithole country without dignity for its citizens
Americans are brainwashed into thinking china is evil and capitalism is great and death free, both those ideas are lies.
The people arent evil and the people cant be blamed for the politics that are imposed on them.
Sorry, chinese are okay, if a little strange to westerners.
As for ethnicity, I dont care, its time we stopped blaming people for the actions of their politicians and rallied round each other. Humans are the most important thing on this planet.
