Uranium 🟩

I’ve tried watching it about 5 times and get to different points before I burn out.

It has sparked an interest in the works of R.D. Laing for who Lain is named in reference to.

A Psychologist who was active in the 60’s and is famous for their work with schizophrenics; I’ve been curious if their work may give a bit more context to understand Serial Experiments Lain

Huh, same here, that’s odd

If you really want that passive poison effect, you need to get fiestaware: bright orange/yellow ceramics where the concentration of uranium is way higher and it’s used as the glaze!

It’s known to leech into acidic foods, such as tomato sauces with pasta.

I also feel like we can also add antique top hats to this; I recently found out that my grandfather’s childhood top hat, which I used to play with all the time growing up, contains mercury nitrate

Are you meaning because people are excited about “fusion” being a possible future energy source, whereas when they here “nuclear” their minds immediately go to weapons and fission accidents and pollution?

They don’t necessarily require a starter explosive, certain types do of course. It’s more about overcoming the initial energy required, for example the arc from an electric arc lighter could probably overcome that requirement in a lot of scenarios.

The linked app Stremio will work on android, you just download the apk directly as it’s not on available on Fdroid, the add-on will work with android and VPNs work on android either natively or via there own app, depends on who your VPN provider is.

I’d suggest using a VPN, if you’re in a first works country, basically torrenting can be recorded by your ISP/movie studios etc, whereas streaming typically won’t be

Most VPNs typically will have a desktop app (if using windows) that you can use to make sure it’s on and functional etc (and can even force apps to not be able to torrent when its turned off)

If you live in a 3rd world country don’t worry about the VPN

Beyond that, what you want is in terms of simplicity is something like Stremio with the torrentio add-on installed, this will allow Stremio to find torrents for whatever you want to watch, you can select quality, language, etc with it. It’ll work for film and TV.

Install Stremio and then install Torrentio

You can download the apk from the website below: Apk here: https://www.stremio.com/downloads Add-on for Stremio here: https://torrentio.strem.fun/

I find it interesting how it appeared clear in 2016 US election that Reddit for example was being a target of Russian interference, (alongside other places like Facebook and Britain during Brexit), even with Russia in a weakened state China appears to have seen what was being done as valuable and taken up the task

The playbook always seems to be to stoke wedge issues, including funding groups on both sides of the political isle; funding the NRA and BLM seems to be two of the most common examples. The reality being that the amount of disruption and destabilisation that is achieved, it must be that these governments must see it as good value for their money.

A literal caltrop

I mean you can vary it pretty significantly depending on the reactor type, but even if you couldn’t you can still put the energy to work in alternative ways, such as pumping water up into reservoirs/damns to generate energy at other points, or using the excess energy to split water. There are many ways to use excess energy.

They can work, though I’m always reluctant to suggest using them, unless you have one that you can spare without worry of ruining the oven (offgassing from components/PCB/flux), the other problem is ovens can be a lot more variable in temperature than you’d think, and in this scenario where it may even be the chips showing their age, subjecting them to very high temperatures isn’t recommended.

Honestly when I bought a small £20 heatgun (smaller than the type you’d use to strip paint), I was kicking myself for not having bought one sooner, they make surface mounted components an absolute breeze Vs using a soldering iron.

The one exception for using ovens is if you’re having to do an intricate board with hundreds of components, then I’d suggest buying a small/medium toaster over, and an oven thermometer for more accurate readings.

Not who you asked but 100% use a narrow heat gun, no question; it saves so much time alongside not accidentally bringing connectors

This is one that seriously gets me as to why we don’t do this more, it would make so much sense. Obvious benefits are power generation, but also when you consider, it would significantly reduce how scorching hot large carparks get in the sun, depending on the style of the solar canopy being built it could also massively reduce the amount of water flow onto the ground reducing some wear on the tarmac in addition to some hazards.

Also for places like the UK where we typically don’t have huge amounts/extended periods of snow, as long as the canopy is sufficiently designed for the additional weight, you could ameliorate the need to salt the car parks, once again increasing the life of the tarmac.

It would also keep people’s cars much cooler, in the sun, and make things generally a lot cooler below the canopy.

They’re a spammer trying to advertise their key selling business/scam, honestly fucking laughable that they post in piracy.

Honestly even calling it CrackedPipe would be better than straight up crackpipe, lmao

I’m envisioning the possible reverse scenario where you get someone wanting some crack and won’t take “Uhhh, I was just talking about a video game thing” as an answer

Then again Gimp is incredibly popular…
