  • Heck, I have about 10 phones in my own house, there's about 20-25 at my in-laws.

    Me because I keep old gadgets

    In-laws because they have 8 children, and instead of the trash they just toss old phones into a box for anyone who breaks the new one.

  • I haven't really been keeping up with nuclear news, so that's actually a surprise to me that so many reactors are in-progress!

    I guess I shouldn't be surprised that the narrative of some is "nuclear is evil" instead of "China is beating us on energy, BUILD MORE TO BEAT THEM!" But oil lobbies really do have their claws into every facet of government... Quadruple down on fossil fuels and smear campaigns, money machine go brrr.

  • Have you tried saying the magic words "these edibles ain't shit" after half an hour?

    In seriousness, that's odd that edibles don't do much for you. I wonder if it's a dosage issue or if there's something different about your digestive system. I guess the former implies the latter...

  • Personally I vape, but I do like edibles. I need to stop vaping as mY primary source, I've been noticing a decrease in lung capacity beyond what covid did. I did not enjoy biking long distance last week.

    I'm pretty good at baking, and have always wanted to try my hand at making edibles, but I think I'd rather try and find some chocolate chips or butter or something that I can use in a normal recipe first. I make a mean chocolate chip cookie.

    The Voth are pushovers, I can destroy one of their city ships with a Miranda Class.

    Oh what's with the 15 other ships flying around the area? Don't mind them. Just my bros. Totally solo'd. Mhmm.

    Man, what is it with Sci fi and having futuristic tech from Dino-descendants.

    I'm not complaining, I want more.

  • no Democrat is likely to do that

    Honestly this is what pisses me off.

    When an opponent who literally wants you or yours dead hands you a gun, shoot them with it. Because if you don't shoot, they will.

    Republicans have handed democrats so many tools over the years they could easily wield against Republicans.... But they don't.

    They take the "high road."

  • Brotherly love didn't even last in my parents church while inside the building. They convinced a pastor to move his family across the country, and then when ONE PERSON got offended by a difference in interpretation, they managed to strong arm their church leaders into firing the pastor.

  • Fun fact! This is also how we know when certain asteroids smashed into the earth, because the impact deposits a layer of minerals and elements not found super common in the crust.

    Also, sensing equipment that uses or detects radiation as part of its function has to be made of non-radioactive materials in order to not interfere. And since hairless apes started cracking atoms open, all steel is ever so slightly radioactive. They need special preparations to make steel without any isotopes present. This also means pre-1945 steel fetches a higher price in some instances.

  • That's the whole point of things like this.

    Make it seem super scary, turn public opinion against anything nuclear.

    Usually you see articles like this pop up whenever there are renewed discussions for nuclear power plants. Not sure if this is one of those, or just clickbait.

  • Plutonium levels near US atomic site in Los Alamos similar to Chornobyl, study finds

    Jump

  • Okay this might sound like conspiracy theory bullshit.... But is there any major country preparing to construct nuclear power plants, or is there a looming decision about nuclear power over fossil fuels coming soon?

    Because this is the exact kind of news article you see get pushed whenever someone starts making nuclear power seem like the viable option that it is.

    Anything that makes it seem like it's seconds from ending all life on the planet as we know it.

    Anything to demonize it.

    Anything to turn public perception negative.

  • New leaks suggest Half-Life 3 is indeed real and a massive step for the series, though that doesn't mean you'll ever get to play it.

    Jump

  • "But that still doesn't mean you'll get to play it"

    Well then it doesn't exist.

    And until I actually am staring at the introduction screens, it's vaporware.

    Have we gone on long enough to see the endless wheel of "HALF LIFE 3?????" once again spin back around? I remember seeing a handful of these a year, every time valve did anything.

    Expect nothing, and you can't be disappointed.

  • Hungary’s debt to China skyrockets, raising financial concerns

    Jump

  • At this point I'm convinced Hungary could outright launch a military assault on one of its neighbors and the EU as a whole would just say "no" and wag their fingers at the problem.

    I'm sure the various heads of state would also take the situations into consideration as they are deeply concerned

    Is it just me or does every government all over the world just drag its feet when it comes to opposing blatant fascism and bad-faith actors?

    Ghost light (theatre) - light left burning on a theater stage overnight

    Jump

  • Tldr long rambling anecdotes of a single haunted theater

    One of the theaters I've performed in is over 200 years old, and the alley it sits against was used to store corpses during the Civil War before they were carted off.

    Supposedly if you walk down the alley on a particularly hot night you can still smell the mettalic coppery smell of large amounts of blood.

    Also, after the show is over, and most people have gone home, sometimes you can see a couple ghosts walking through the air straight toward the stage. This is because the theater used to be flat, but in the early 1900s they redid the foundation and sloped the audience downward. The ghosts don't care and continue using the floor they always used. I guess the floor is a ghost too.

    I never actually looked into the real events, but apparently someone hung themselves from the pulley system 100ft above the stage in the 60s. And now nobody can use one of the tie-off points for the whole system because it has a steel plate bolted over it because "it kept coming undone".

    The basement contains the dressing rooms and makeup room, and the access points to the sub-basement areas that contain the air circulation systems. One is just a gas line busted through the wall going to a large boiler. Another room contains the actual air pump, which is the size of a school bus.

    There are pipes that go some distance under the theater to keep the circulating water cool. That's the original AC system, although they have since added modern ones to the main hall. So once the hall is cooling, they turn on the big one and the whole building gets cooler for a few hours. Just long enough for a play or musical.

    The problem is that sometimes, and for reasons we can't figure out (probably just a factor of how humid it gets) the main motor will stick, and you have to crawl down to the housing and kick on its side. I think it gets a little rusty and the kicks are enough to dislodge it from the thin surface level stuff.

    I have spent countless hours alone in the building just checking out the rooms and nooks and crannies they like to keep people out of during normal operation.

    What most people don't know is there are open areas under some of the dressing rooms. It's not just a wooden floor and supporting lattice, it's a couple of half-sized rooms, possibly intended for storage. There's a lot of rusty blades in one corner, an insane amount of what appears to be dried blood splashed on the walls and floor of one. Legit looks like someone used the areas as their Dexter style murder hole, without the plastic to keep things clean. I placed a single cheese it cracker in the middle of the floor in 2007. It's still there as of 2023. Which really makes me wonder if anyone else even knows the rooms are there anymore.

    And the local police have been called multiple times over someone breaking in and using the ballroom, blasting Orchestra music. Apparently nobody is ever found, nothing is broken into, and the security system says nobody has been inside since it's last performance, or maintainence.

    So yeah. Haunted theaters are neat.

  • Yup… my aunt told me she sent me an important message via FB. I was inspired.

    Jump

  • My mother keeps sending stuff over Facebook, my sister keeps inviting me to supposedly important events over Facebook, my work wants me to use twitter, and my brother in law keeps sending tiktock videos.

    I remind all of them that I don't use social media, and my Facebook account is only up for the 2 times a year I need it to get ahold of otherwise-unreachable people. If you want something, send me a text or email and be direct.

  • So like.... I don't need my preferred substance to get through the day. I think all the days I go without it kind of prove that.

    But sometimes I just am done dealing with the week and want to spend my remaining free time smoking a bowl and listening to Sci fi and fantasy lore videos so I can pretend I'm chilling somewhere near the Anduin or on the holodeck.

    Damn, if holodecks became real, humanity is basically over.
