Uranium 🟩

It’s a tough one, how old is the Son?

Is he social of his own accord?

It might be worth asking your husband for a timeline, and suggest that when Son starts dating again he may want to look for a rental near to you and your husband, so he can have some privacy but still be nearby so they can carry on having out, going to the gym etc.

That could very well be the POV of the intern having to approve career gooners

The immediate issue I can see is not much to do with the base aspect of things, but more to do with the risk of salination of soils and water, but without solid numbers to go off of it’s hard to know what the impact could be.

I’m curious if this could be made to work with elemental potassium, which doesn’t carry the same risk of salination or possibly even the liquid NaK alloy (which would carry the approximately half the risk of salination potential)

We already have a people being ‘nostalgic’ for plastic straws… It’s depressing that so many people are so willfully selfish that the slightest change or inconvenience to their life is met with such backlash.

On a related note, Uranium glass isn’t dangerous at all, it’s production was phased out for nuclear weapons and reactor research, not because of any threat or harm from the glass.

Nowadays you can even get virgin uranium glass again.

Vitrifying (turning to/encasing in glass) nuclear waste is one of the better ways of storing it as no chance of leaking, etc.

Yeah, this could be much shorter and not AI written, still I appreciate the idea of exploring technology fundamentals sometimes, just not the way it’s been implemented in this case

An interesting aspect of this is when trying to mover power over long distances AC becomes inefficient and High Voltage DC becomes the more efficient option.

Between 2-3% for HVDC vs 6-7% for AC systems when transmitting over 1000km.

Trip codes are I think what you’re taking about, not all boards had them enabled but they were a way of authenticating a user on the boards that did

TBH kinda with you here, is it just the relatively recent proximity of the use of the word to refer those with intellectual disabilities?

…

I actually looked this up and found a timeline, which shows the use is much more recent in medical contexts than I thought, Rosa’s Law 2010 is where it’s use was superceded in federal usage.

I honestly thought it was a kinda 50s to 70s kinda deal, not 70s - 2010; this does change my perspective and opinion a little bit, and I do feel a bit more sympathy as of how it’s still very much within living memory for some.

At the same time, I wonder whether those who take issue with it being used casually (not in reference to intellectual disability), take the same issue with the use of idiot, moron or imbecile, as retarded was used because those terms became common place and slang, not exclusively medical words.

I think that once the cat is out of the bag, (and the fact that both the medical society, and general society has moved past a single catch all term for intellectual disability) you can’t really keep a word from developing it’s own life.

I will note, my opinion doesn’t hold any real weight here, as I’m the UK we never had AFAIK a diagnosis of “Mental retardation”

But would that then imply that all commissioned works aren’t art?

Or does the difference of who (or more specifically what) you commission to produce something decide whether it’s art?

1. Is this a quirk of the fediverse?

The community this has been posted in for me is Technology, not Privacy

2.And those people should also face scrutiny if they are making up potentially life ruining stuff such as accusing someone being a child murderer. The bit I’d want some context for, is whether this is a one off hallucination, or a consistent one that multiple seperate users could see if they asked about this person.

If it’s a one of hallucination, it’s not good, but nowhere near as bad as a consistent ‘hard baked’ hallucination.

I’m sure people said similar to the French Resistance regarding the Nazis/Vichy government…

People always focus on the “Lady jerks off dolphin”, part of the story, not the ‘Noted Psychoanalyist and developer of the first sensory deprivation chamber has employee jerk off dolphin as part of a research programme that was funded to see if human-dolphin communication was possible, whilst high on LSD’

John C Lilly really fuckin liked dolphins😅

I’m really trying to remember what I did, but I got steam playing ball with my NTFS drives without issue…

Both on steamdeck using an SD card formatted to NTFS, and on a manjaro/windows dual boot with an NTFS shared drive…

Genuinely don’t remember how I did it… I want to say something to do with symlinks…

I assume you’ve come across and tried this: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/wiki/Using-a-NTFS-disk-with-Linux-and-Windows

Silly suggestion, and no idea if it will work, but it’s an easy one to test;

Get some cooking/vegetable oil, and see if it will help dissolve the residue by putting a bit on some kitchen towel and either scrubbing with the oiled paper towel or leaving that towel on the residue for 10 mins and seeing if the grease has softened.

If the oil does seem to dissolve/soften the grease residue then you can add some bicarb/salt to act as gentle abrasive as it won’t dissolve in the oil as it would do in water

I’ve used cooking oil to dissolve tar/bitumen paint from my skin and clothes before and you can then use soap to clear the dissolved tar in oil.

Otherwise use a kitchen degreaser like you’d clean a traditional oven with.

I imagine what’s happening with the oil is something akin to polymerization, so you either need to break the polymers bonds or dissolve in a suitable solvent

This should really be the canary in the coal mine for just how bad things are going to get.

Outta curiosity what is a Keto cough drop?

I mean I don’t think there are any high protein cough drops, but I’m pretty sure you can get sugar free cough drops… You can atleast definitely get sugar free boiled sweets, a couple of type 1 diabetics I know have them, and you get them at the checkouts here as shops aren’t allowed to put sugary snacks at the checkouts.

And in regards to getting proteins that are atleast in stock, lentils and peas/beans are pretty good sources of proteins, I’ve seen people make some good looking keto friendly naan breads/flat breads using pea protein (IIRC), have you tried anything like that?

Occult Rock; it’s the transition somewhere between psychedelic rock and heavy metal.

Relatively unknown nowadays but it you like psych or heavy metal you’ll probably enjoy it.

Lots of powerful, bluesy, female vocals.

Huh, I’ve got a collection of not necessarily dangerous, but hard to find chemicals. DCM (methylene chloride) is still something I’ve been unable to find. It’s an incredibly useful solvent especially for adhering bitumen felt to itself.

Wait, why vitamin D before bed?

I thought your body produces it in response to daylight, so I always thought that should be taken in the day?
