I assumed it was designed to survive some proximity to a nuclear strike. But definitely not a close-hit, or direct strike.

Far enough away and shielded enough that the flash of radiation doesn’t render its occupants immediately dead.

Generally speaking, multivitamins do nothing.

This is known.

The reason they do nothing is that most people have a reasonable diet that hits all the micros. It doesn’t even have to be a stellar diet, or even vaguely “healthy”, per se.

If your diet already includes the micros; then your body just shits or pisses them out. If you have an actual deficiency in something, it’s probably not diet related and more to do with uptake. Either way, that’s a conversation for you and your doctor, not a pill pusher advert

This is my go to when people are over around that time of year and want to watch a “Christmas classic”

Usually they’re something depressing like It’s a Wonderful Life or something straight up annoying, like The Grinch.

(Can I just say it- the Who’s of Whoville are shitty neighbors.)

A runner up is Home Alone.

Or selling off illegally settled real estate out of a synagogue…

I’m not sure if he’s trying to help biden… you know… by making it sound like Biden actually did the right fucking thing here and cut off the genocidal maniac… or trying to fuck biden; because we all know that Biden will ship harder for Netty-Boo

I was trying to figure out wtf people were doing in Spore (the video game.)

Didn’t we give them nukes a while back?

considering other articles linked on the website apparently include “the Case of the 2 Miners that met the Ctones” (which seems to be some kind of advanced civilization that lives under ground… that kept him from leaving for 5 years, but then paid him diamonds and let him go or something…) and “100,000 year old electrical connector found embedded in stone”… (Aliens!)

I’m gonna go with a great example of “bullshit”.

Wikipedia editors/whatever agreed that it was an “unreliable source”, because it pushed linking pro-Palestinian protests with antisemitism, and such like.

Basically you can’t use the ADL as a source for Wikipedia articles. It’s also a big broader than just the conflict- it would appear you wouldn’t be able to cite them on, say, page discussing antisemitism, or similar things. (Basically everything the ADL might be interested in.)

Grew up in red hat- you know? Back when red hat wasn’t the enemy.

Endeavor is my flavor of the month. (Why pick one?)

now i want to fork something into a new distro called “Schroedinger Linux”…

“maybe it works. maybe it doesn’t. maybe it’s best just to leave it right there and not look at it.”

I wouldn’t know. Every game I had dysentery within the first couple of days.

… does he not see the irony in calling the other guys nazis while directly (and knowingly) quoting Hitler?

Pretty much all bigotry, is fueled by fear- fear of the other.

And I’m only saying “pretty much” because it’s not like I’m an expert or anything

Whats funny is… it’s probably true in both places. well, the part about conservatives being scared little pricks.

You’re not wrong. At some point Putin is gonna have to grab the other guy and jump off that ledge, just to prove he would.

Which is the problem with brinksmanship.

If that even is the thinking. IDK, maybe they are just doing exercises, and there’s no particular intent behind it and the US press is writing a bunch about it just because it is notable that it’s happening.

It’s brinkmanship. the Russians are trying to invoke the cuban missile crisis. AFAIK, they’re supply ships bringing stuff to Cuba; (but also “recruits” from Cuba.). But a large part of it is definitely meant to up the anty on all the “if you don’t stop supplying weapons I’ll use nukes” rhetoric.

Time to become Burek Queen and get that crown back.

he just retired this year!

(so… uh… what happens in 2038?) (edit… I’ll worry about 2038 if we actually get to 2030.)

my dad was a UNIX sysadmin. His assertion- at the time- that we’d be fine, did not live up the vast amounts of overtime he put in in during '99.

(To be clear it was never the then-modern systems, like windows ME, or '95 that were at problem. it was all the old-as fuck stuff… every major institution still uses. Like IRS’s COBOL database… that’s… still being…used.all of that stuff, they needed to patch to make it okay.)
