After listening to a Pink Floyd album on vinyl (Wish You Were Here), I totally understood why people in the 70s would get blasted on weed/acid and zone out to it

As someone who likes to do my own car maintenance, those high hoods look like hell. I’m average height and I’d probably need a damn stepladder to change the oil.

The guy who got pinned to the ceiling was from the SL-1 accident, and it was due to a poor reactor design which allowed the reactor to go prompt critical by removing only one control rod. Normally the rods were in the down position when the reactor was shut off, but to bring it back online the rods had to be lifted by hand a few inches so they could be attached to the drive cables. Another flaw was that the control rods had a habit of getting stuck, so the leading theory is that the operator accidentally pulled it out too far when trying to get it free. We’ll never know exactly what happened though, since all three operators died in the explosion.

Is this…real? It sounds disgusting

A man in Moscow goes up to a newsstand and buys a newspaper.

He then glances at the front page, then turns aside and tosses the whole newspaper straight into the trash.

Next day, he turns up, and does the same thing. Buys it, glances at the front page, throws it in the trash.

Next day, same thing. The newsstand worker is increasingly puzzled, but doesn't say anything.

But eventually, after a couple of weeks of this, he can't take it. "I'm sorry, friend, but I must ask: why do you buy the paper every day and then just look at the front page and throw it out?"

"Oh, I'm just checking for something."

"OK, but: what are you checking for?"

"I'm checking for a particular obituary."

"But sir, you don't even open the newspaper! The obituaries aren't even on the front page!"

"Oh, believe me, the one I'm waiting for will be."

Why should I care?

I scream into the void

And the void answers with jazz

You can just pay to put yourself on the NYT bestseller list.

Yes, it gets jettisoned after the separation of the first stage and ignition of the second stage.

I bought that toaster after watching his video. Works great, makes toast fast.
