It’s ok to feel hurt if you get rejected.
It’s not ok to go full Joker and hurt other people because you were hurt.

Oh yeah, no I caught that.
That’s just my brain said it would make sense to bring it up.

Reading investigation the IAEA did on the Sarov guy, it sounds like he didn’t die painfully. It would have fucking sucked, but the only pain he described was a headache and when they physically examined him in a few places.
He died of heart failure, but they were unable to tell what that really meant, the cell structure of everything in his body had been destroyed.

I’m surprised they had a robot radiation hardened enough to actually try. I’ve got to look up what they did. The whole room it was in was a neutron reflector, the robot would be, and the interference would be crazy from the decay products.
Wonder what they would have done if the robot couldn’t do it.

Jeez. Talk about an area denial weapon. That’s horrifying. Just massive deadly glowing sphere of doom that’s both too energetic and not energetic enough to stop the chain reaction. That’s incredible.

You know, something I always wondered was what would have happened if the core was allowed to stay in Prompt Critical configuration?
The design provided the extreme rate of fission at T=0, which in a bomb is when it gets compressed (the density increases). But that density is relatively uniform, the demon core didn’t change properties.
Normally I’d suspect it would just melt, but since it was in a neutron reflector, it should increase the rate of fission as T>0. Hence the chain reaction.

It’s not a fetish, they’re the only people that want to go into politics.
At 25, when people are eligible, they have usually worked for a bit and politics isn’t on their mind.
Old people can also afford to fuck around with the economy more, they got theirs.

I asked the local BMW dealer if I had to take a class to unlearn how to use a turn signal.
He did not find it funny, which I found even more hilarious.

Again, it’s not easy or ethical to test, but any charged particle interaction with a nerve for instance will possibly trigger an action potential, inducing the “light” that is witnessed. However, this is unlikely given that the optic nerves are pretty well protected.
What is more likely to occur is that a sufficient amount of gamma rays or x-rays ionizing the nerve or nerve sheathe itself and those unstable particle decay into something that releases a charged particle triggering the nerve signal.

Sort of? Radiation refers to any ionizing wave- particle. This means ultraviolet, x-rays and gamma-rays are not possible to see.
Alpha and beta particles can only produce visible light if they are moving faster than the medium that light travels through. Because Alpha and Beta particles are massive they cannot reach c (speed of light in a vacuum) but in water, as being discussed, any velocity >0.75c will produce the light.
Electrons and positrons are a much lower mass and require much lower energy to get moving at a sufficient speed. This means beta decay is a candidate for it, but the beta decay of naturally radioactive elements is too low of an energy for this to be observed. In nuclear fission, the neutrons won’t interact this way as they aren’t charged. The immediate fission products, however, are usually of very high instability and some of these do decay by beta emission in a very short period of time.
Alpha particles, which are usually 5 mev, do not create the light, as they are much more massive. These are released from things like Uranium-238 to Thorium-234.
- Comment on what are the grievances with the "male loneliness epidemic"? 1 week ago:
“It’s stupid, it’s not a thing, it’s men’s own fault”
So as someone who recently learned my gender identity is demiguy, I can say it is and isn’t a thing.
Masculinity as a whole is a toxic concept in my book. A man is stoic. A man is strong, capable, and will put up or shut up. A man is attractive if he looks strong, acts strong, drives strong trucks, enjoys strength based sports, is emotionally strong, and essentially a lifelong warrior. A man can do anything he needs to by himself. A man can change if he needs to. A man has rough hands. A man dresses prepared. A man does not have too much emotional intimacy. A man is vulnerable only to the extent that he doesn’t appear weak.
All of those statements apply to the criticisms. It is stupid. Men aren’t socializing with hardly anyone. It’s hard to when you have to do the mentioned statements. It is a thing. Men do not have friends to call and shoot the shit with. Men are annoying when we text too much. Sharing real feelings is weakness. It is men’s own fault. It’s the nature of the characteristics of manliness.
The unfortunate side effect is that Incels have coopted it to defend their misogyny, and women who all have significant reason to be angry at this see it as terribly offensive.
To me? Yeah. I’m lonely. But it’s mostly because I didn’t understand who I was, and I didn’t have groups to fit in with. I like wearing tailored suits, but I love having soft hands. I like lighter clothing, cuddling, playing silly games with children, lavender and vanilla scented candles and candle lit baths.
But men can’t share any of that with each other even if they identify as men. Women are the only link to “softness” they experience. This leads to a compounding problem. Men need to accept that they will be alone unless they can connect on something OTHER than STRENGTH.

IIRC the flash wasn’t discernable from being the air or the aqueous/vitreous humor in the eye.
I think it’s been hypothesized that the eye jello allows for a much lower energy particle to to create the flash. They do know it’s possible to induce it, but it’s not exactly ethical to test the conditions that created the various criticality accidents to find out.

I have worked adjacent to it. Impressive is an understatement. I wouldn’t benefit financially of course as I wouldn’t be on here talking about it.
I don’t exactly understand the implementation I just know big research institutions, Google, nVidia, and many smaller companies are working it. The amount of data is nothing short of enormous, and even better still, it appears to raise the standard of care across insured and uninsured populations.
Not only is the ROI there, it’s already assisting in radiology and medical imaging as well. Behind all the bullshit being sold there is actual good stuff being done.
Imagine being in the bumfuck middle of nowhere Montana, and you have to get something checked out. Anywhere in the US a doctor will be able to tell if something is abnormal, but you need specialists to determine how abnormal a specimen is, and if tissue needs to be examined closer or specialized treatment is necessary. Instead of having to send it to John Hopkins or Mayo Clinic your closest hospital had one of these machines - just like an MRI - and they could get a diagnosis quickly? You can get the specialized treatment or testing faster at a lower cost.

I happen to know that they infact are. One of the actual uses of AI.
Millions of images from specimens collected over decades have been fed into these nueral networks.
Essentially, when used for anything other than chatbots AI should do one specific job extremely well. This is because it is trained in the same manner as any human. You give it images of specimens and the diagnosis (bit more complicated than that, but it’s the important part).

I do not dispute that. I am stating that this power grab is Christian Nationalism. If you read my comment, about half-way through I said Christians are a problem, but not the problem right now.
I also would argue that MLK Jr. did much more good than any evil.

Gonna echo using “caregiver.” It’s commonly used in questionnaires for social health.
Now as a divorced 34 year old with no caregiver, you have no idea how much help it would be to have another pair of hands around the house lol.
The comments that are giving flak- the situation you’re describing isn’t terribly uncommon historically or internationally. Even in cultures where divorce isn’t possible, men still get widowed.
It’s just not described the way you did.

See TIL.
I think my ex wife really screwed with my understanding of the world. One of the things she convinced me of was that the “things I like to see on women are only there to attract interest.”
I’m learning a lot still it turns out.

I’m sorry you went through that. I don’t understand why it’s hard for men to not touch something they like.
Is it because I’m (probably) autistic? Like, look these kind of outfits are simply awesome, but touching someone else without invitation just seems so incredibly… Wrong?
Its something I’ve struggled with understanding my whole life. Just cause you are into a woman doesn’t mean you need to break boundaries to satisfy urges?
I mean, shit, I remember from a really, really, really, young age: don’t touch others. Did this message not become a core concept? Or do I just pass out before alcohol has that much of an inhibiting effect on me?
- Comment on [deleted] 1 week ago:
I’m not going to disagree.
But are there women that enjoy wearing it? Just because others enjoy looking at it isn’t a great reason to.
Although if you’re on the fence between something like this and literally anything else, I will vote this.

I don’t want to come off as pedantic, but what we’re dealing with in the US is a very strange and successful breed of “Christian Nationalism.”
Essentially, it’s a belief that ultra-conservative Christianity is the only legitimate religion and that the USA is a Christian nation.
It probably comes as no surprise that these people heavily influenced the Confederacy, is strongly white-supremecist, anti-vice, etc, and has been an anathema in this country since before the states actually formed.
Christians themselves are… A problem, but not the problem. It’s these Christian nationalists. They’re loud. They want you to think all Christians believe what they do too. They also tend to drown out opposing Christian speakers by being louder than them too.
It’s one of the reasons why MLK Jr was hated so much by Hoover, by the south, etc. He was a Christian pastor, and stood against everything they did.
It’s important that we don’t group Christians in with Christian Nationalists. It’s very difficult but necessary.
