Rare Earth Nodules

That moment when you take a drag of your Blue Raspberry vape and the dosimeter next to you maxes out.

Taste: slightly metallic, not great, not terrible.

So a nucler reactor is just a kettle with an extra spicy heating element?

The number of soldiers isn’t the issue. The two issues are the civilian casualties would be unacceptable for SK and the NK civilians would halt progress as they’d need support from the SK army.

The other one is that China would almost certainly invade from the north because NK is a buffer state between it and SK, a US ally.

Yep. Ghosts in Machines are real.

I have witnessed it first hand multiple times.

At university there was an old 1st gen Makerbot 3D printer and if you took away one of it’s prints that were displayed around it, all of your prints would fail, even if you replaced it the printer held a grudge. And never EVER say a 100% certainty statement that the print would succeed like “it is printing ok, it will be finished in an hour”. Only say things like “the print is doing ok so far”.

The electronics lab was throwing out five old Cathode Ray Oscilloscopes so our little maker group took them in and two were working fine. The other three weren’t displaying the trace on the screen. One of our members, a chap from Romania who in his youth spent his time fixing old TVs in his home country, said to let him have a look. I swear down he plugged them in, leant his ear against it, said to the scopes “shh it’s ok, we’ll look after you”, and gave them gentle taps on top just behind the screen, and all three jumped back into life in perfect calibration.

And finally, my girlfriend at the time had a 1st gen iPod that would, at the most inopportune moments randomly wake itself up, play a few seconds of a random song, then shut itself down.

In like 5 to 10 years there’ll be veterans getting horrific flashbacks when the delivery drone comes by to drop off their pizza and / or Amazon package.

My new recipe book:

A Taste of Fire and Ice.

Just don’t expect the sequel to be released anytime soon.

Your MBE is in the post and will arrive in 2-3 business days.

Spoken like someone who hasn’t had a good roast dinner or cottage pie.

Liberals

All authoritarians left AND right. Please learn your political compass so you can have grown up conversations.

Is it shiny and chrome?

The slightly misshapen head and facial features from fetal alcohol syndrome.

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but:

It’s ok.

You took action to remedy the immediate problem. That’s a huge step.

Now you’re grieving for the current state and how it could have gotten this bad. It’s ok to cry and accept that your past self made mistakes, when you’re able to you should forgive your past self. Take as long as you need to do that.

What comes next is getting to your feet and just fix it up a little. Doesn’t have to be a lot and it won’t all get done overnight. All that’s needed is just 1% everyday. It’s ok to take a break, it’s ok to go slower, but a little progress everyday and you’ll get there.

Depends if the current british owners are emotionally abusing their nephew by keeping him there.

The Akira Slide.

I like to think that he forgets, keeps trying and then makes a new post about it

And the Americans give us shit for our food, the fuck is this? America, explain!

Sad trombone noises.
