That would indeed be very helpful. But if all the other usages keep draining the supply, it will only help extend artificial reserves.

Stuff only becomes valuable when it’s mostly gone…

I got the 6 million from this link: https://www.chemanalyst.com/industry-report/helium-gas-market-578

The issue is not how much can be produced right now, but the rate at which we are depleting it.

I found different estimates on how long earth’s helium supply will last, and most of them are between 10 and 100 years. That’s not a long time, considering that it means we will lose access to a whole element.

But not nearly the required amounts. We currently use about 6 million metric tons of helium per year.

If fusion plants ever become a commercially viable thing (and that’s a big if), they will never be able to supply anything close to that.

There’s quite a large amount of the usage which could be labelled “for fun”.

But we are consuming about 6 million tons per year (https://www.chemanalyst.com/industry-report/helium-gas-market-578).

The 3000 tons are just a drop in the water and it’s pretty much impossible to get to all that.

Not in a way that could be scaled up to even cover the childrens birthday parties of a medium sized city.

One relevant part that I couldn’t really find in the article is that helium is so light that it escapes Earth’s atmosphere when released into the air.

So any helium that is released to the air is permanently gone.

There is also no known way to synthesize helium, and it also doesn’t renew itself at all on Earth.

It’s also the only substance we have to cool stuff really far down. That’s why e.g. MRIs depend on it.

And we put this precious, finite and often life saving substance into kids’ balloons to make them bobble nicely through the air.

Put books under it.

Is there a reason why you ask this here and not just ask the staff at the shop?

Stuff like that can differ from shop to shop. So better ask the person who knows the answer.

In this case, you should get a 3D printer.

Yeah, noticed that too. This is really annoying.

They’ll probably have to offload that to a server farm in real time. That’s not gonna be easy.

Now guess how it feels to type German with predictive text. Most of our words can have more than a dozen different word endings depending on time and how the word is used. And that’s not taking into account that we use compound words, which word prediction pretty much cannot predict and often doesn’t even know. So spell check will mark a legal compound word as misspelled, because it doesn’t understand the concept of compound words and doesn’t know this specific word combination.

To show what I mean, the term “Danube steam boat captain’s hat” becomes “DonauDampfSchiffKapitänsMütze” (I added capital letters which shouldn’t be there to show where the next word in the compound word begins).

While this is an extreme example, it’s pretty common for compound words to consist of 4-5 words.

Tell me where Google claimed that they don’t delete comments. They obviously clear spam and other shit. And they do that completely officially.

Then you are probably shadowbanned on Youtube directly. Can happen if you post too much shit too frequently.

Everyone here understand the point. It’s just that this point is dumb.

Tricks like that worked in the early 2000s. Nowadays, these tricks are much more likely to get you banned rather than the other way round.

All of these automod bots have features that can decypher stuff like that.

Are you new to the internet?

The reason is easy. There is no text character that bypasses the non-random deletion by channel admins. If you post enough shit, they’ll put you on the banlist of their 3rd party automod bots. Every time you post anything while you are on their banlist, your comments will be automatically deleted.

And guess what: many channel admins actually share their banlists. So you aren’t on only one channel’s banlist, but on many.

Post less conspiracy shit, and you won’t get banned.

Your Google account is worthless on Youtube now.

These lots of people are a very specific bubble: the idiots who can’t behave on the internet. All the others don’t have that issue.

It’s also not autoblocking by Youtube, but you being banned by channel admins. They use bots to automatically delete any content an user posted who already posted multiple dumb/offensive/toxic posts.

Changing the letters to some similar looking letters won’t help you, because YOU are banned.

If by your own admission 50% of your posts are questionable at best, you deserve bans.
