    Even if that aluminium would be harmless, I still doesnt got a normal answer, why a day old child need a Hepatitis B. vaccine right away - its a disease transmitted sexually and by blood… Why cant you get that vaccine when you are 15y.o. for example ? There is no logical reason why an infant would need it, with the exception if the mother has it, and at that point, the child already was exposed to it and possibly creating antibodies, so vaccinate it is even more pointless.

    And yes we are exposed to aluminium in our environment and food, but by digestive track you absorb less than 1%… As I added to my original post, a 2 month old child in all those vaccines receive directly in to veins a larger dose per body weight, than the official safe limit is for oral ingestion. The Aluminium in those vaccines is not an oxide, they are various salts of aluminium.

    Im not an expert, I never stated that, but clearly studied more information on the topic as you or possibly most people.

    All those illnesses are nowhere near life threatening these days. Sure, in the past when you got Tetanus, you got it from some rusty nail possibly covered by fiecies of some farm animal, then it was most likely not cleaned, not even by alcohol… Today you probably get it properly cleaned and even disinfected practically immediately.

    While I also had Tetanus and other shots, I really dont consider them all that necessary these days as it was in the past. What Im however very weary is various aluminium and similar metals, especially in children vaccines. We have only studies of aluminium toxicity on rats, but those got it orally - which is a huge difference. We have no long term studies of aluminium oxides toxicity when directly injected, especially in to children…

    On day 1 of life, infants receive 250 µg of aluminum from the hepatitis B vaccine, equating to ~73 µg/kg for a 3.4 kg newborn—17 times higher than the weight-adjusted PDL (~4.3 µg/kg/day). Cumulative exposure from the CDC schedule (birth to 2 years) ranges from 4.225 to 4.925 mg, exceeding the PDL when adjusted for body weight, especially in the first 6 months (e.g., 1.475 mg by 2 months). Infants receive ~4.4 mg of aluminum from vaccines in the first 6 months, compared to 7 mg (breast milk), 38 mg (formula), or 117 mg (soy formula) from diet, but injectable aluminum is more bioavailable and biopersistent.

    And thats a huge red flag for me. Especially, if the mother is not infected by hep. B before birth, how would a child even get such a disease, which transfers by blood and body fluids, yet we vaccinate them with it at first days of life ?

    There are functioning Thorium based Molten Salt Breeder reactors, which for ~50MW can be built in a shipping container size - they are small, so can be deployed at local sites, thus reducing transmission losses, much harder to use for weapons (thats why the world tilted towards the use of uranium reactors in the first place), dont need prior enrichment, and can use much higher percentage of the fuel - so much less waste product. Also since the whole stuff is a molten salt, you just drain it from the reactor core and the reaction simply comes to halt.

    The technology works, as it was tested when they were deciding if the industry goes with uranium or thorium, but the war lobby win out unfortunately, as they wanted a source for their nuclear weapons, at which the Thorium reactors are not great.

    And yes, nuclear is super clean even if we compare it with solar+wind batteries not even counted in to the equation. BTW you can use “spent” fuel rods from conventional nuclear plants in a breeder reactor, to further diminish waste and use them up. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thorium-based_nuclear_power

    Well not really, cloning is much easier than reinstalling and then configuring everything again…

    I have LVM set up from the start, so usually I just copy the /boot partition to the new disk, and the rest is in a LVM volume group, so I just use pvmove from old disk to the new one, fix the bootloader and fstab UUIDs, and Im ready to reboot from new disk, while I didnt even left my running system, no live USB needed or anything. (Of course I messed it up a first few times, so had to fix from a live OS).

    But once you know all the quirks, I can be up and ready on a new drive withing 20mins (depends mainly on the pvmove), with all the stuff preserved and set

    $ head -3 /var/log/pacman.log

    I installed my Arch on Desktop in 2009 and it was just cloned from one disk to another through multitude of PCs, and sure, there were occasional troubles, like upgrade from SysV init to systemd, when KDE plasma 4 released, or the time, when I had to run a custom kernel and mesa which supported the AMD Vega 56 card ~month after release.

    But nowadays, I didnt had a single breakage for several years, my RX6800 GPU was well supported 3 months after release, and most things just work… BTW I run arch also on my home server, in 6 years it had literally zero issues.
