No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•If someone's injected with cancer cells, they develop cancer. Could at least part of the increase in cancer be to do with people getting other people's cancer cells inside their bodies?
2·2 months agocancer is in large part an old people disease, if you avoided dying of cholera you’re more likely to die of something else. also now there’s a lot of people who were exposed to carcinogens decades back, and we got better at treating pr preventing some other common causes of death like stroke or heart disease

News@lemmy.world•Trump orders Pentagon to redesign US aircraft carrier to use steam catapults to launch jets
1·2 months agoNo they don’t, there’s still 4 units one per launcher. Most of problems you mention seems to come from energy storage system. Energy is stored in the flywheels, which requires annoying converter, so chinese variant uses giant set of supercapacitors instead which is just a bit heavier and has less problems with communications interference. Also can be split in many parts and fit in any space you have. Mostly benefit of being designed later. Zero surprises if americans figure it’s better but institutional inertia keeps them using the old one

News@lemmy.world•Trump orders Pentagon to redesign US aircraft carrier to use steam catapults to launch jets
2·2 months agoThey don’t actually. Steam catapult is operated with completely separate steam supply, and major design goal of ford class was to remove it so even if pedo in chief wanted, retrofit is physically impossible. That separate steam supply needs extra freshwater because it’s not condensed and recovered. EMALS is much milder on plane and pilot because it’s a big linear motor that gives constant acceleration instead of spike then decreasing like with steam. Efficiency of steam catapult is also dogshit compared to turbine + energy storage system
