How? Did they have a straw?

Omg the scarf I cant

This reminded me of “tapa na pantera”.

And that’s just the ones who decide to settle down…

What a nice looking stick you have there…

Yes, that’s the second arc.

In the first accident there were no half-spheres, the neutrons were being reflected back using bars of tungsten carbide placed around the exposed core.

Wiki photo from a recreation of the first incident:

In the second accident, a year later, the reflective material was the two beryllium half-spheres. Shims were used to ensure the two halves were never fully closed, which would trigger the nuclear chain reaction.

Supposedly, this guy liked to show off and had done this demonstration a dozen times in front of different audiences, wearing jeans and cowboy boots and using his screwdriver instead of the shims.

Some report that Fermi told the guy and others that “they would be dead in a year” if they kept doing that… and voila.

The good thing is that he at least was hunched over the core, so he mostly shielded everyone else in the room from the worst of the radiation by absorbing it himself. 9 days later, he was dead. The guy closest to him was in the hospital for several weeks with severe radiation poisoning, but at least survived but died fairly young, in his 50s, which may or may not have been related…

Nobody should be barred from posting their art online, even if it’s abysmal, as long as it’s actually theirs.

Here’s my 15 second, god awful taco:

That’s the brilliant part.

They were led to believe the government could go after them physically, and that’s what they’re looking for, while they steal their healthcare and education and infrastructure, while deporting the cheap labor they were exploiting in their farms and depriving them of income.

They’re tightly watching their front door, ready to shoot the first person getting close to it, while the rest of their house is being robbed blind…

That was hilarious. Also kinda spooky to think that, if Japan hadn’t surrendered, Demon Core-kun would have been the 3rd nuke dropped over them.

The cartoon only covers the second story arc though, the one with the screwdriver.

In the first arc, the core is “nude” and they’re stacking neutron-reflecting bricks around it to bring it close to criticality. A scientist drops a brick by accident on top of the core and boom, blue light and you’re dead (takes 2 weeks for your body to notice though).

I never understood the fixation on IPs. For a kick ass universe with amazing lore etc, ok sure.

I mean I love Jeb and the gang as much as the next guy, but they’re not core to my enjoyment of KSP1. The mechanics were.

That’s because it’s lifted from an actual security flyer, edited for funnies.

The original is probably this:

6. Consumption of alcoholic beverages will help target selection in target-deprived environments.

You really took the bit between your teeth blaming the lycan there, didn’t you Mr Fox. The lab guys are pulling teeth to get the results, but we’ll soon know who’s bite marks are on that girl who bit the bullet. You wouldn’t be lying through your teeth now would you? Because I’ll sink my teeth into you and bring you down if it’s the last thing I do…

…said some detective with a hyperfixation.

Not German, but close enough - there’s usually at least one bus within walkable distance, even if it’s only like 4 times a day or something, that connects to a larger hub.

I lived in a place where I had to be by the bus stop at 7h30. If I missed that I’d have to wait for the next at 8h15, and if I missed that one, I’d better call to say I wasn’t able to go that day.

However, in smaller towns and in the countryside, with no cars, life is so different to the frenetic chaos of big cities that it’s hard to put into words.

For science?

You’re still thinking in a context where the earth is travelling around the sun, etc etc.

If you assume the Earth as the reference point, then that is fixed, absolutely frozen, doesn’t move at all. That’s point zero.

You cannot calculate where the earth is. What you do is calculate where everything else, the universe itself and even other dimensions, are with regards to your fixed point.

This can feel counterintuitive, but here’s a random visualization: https://youtube.com/shorts/UZyuZVvCE78

Note that, in that video, only the perspective has changed. The solar system is moving as usual.

Mass tourism.

Mass tourism is a cancer that needs to be irradiated from any proper city. That shit brings very little money, and mobs of unruly, uneducated dimwits that think they own someone’s soul because they spent €5 on a couple of the cheapest drinks on the menu.

What is that 2 - 12 kmh sign? A speed limit for a pedestrian road?

This.
