Would love to even get an acknowledgment that they’re taking a break. Maybe I missed it.

2024-07-28 01:06:40 +0000 UTCIf we assume Wikipedia is accurate: The biggest US nuclear warhead is the B83 (weighing 1.2 tons) at 1.2 megatons & 3.4 mile blast radius. Starburst Prime was 1.4 megatons detonated at 250 miles up. That's too close, you'd fry too many satellites, so 3000 miles *might* be okay. For that payload & altitude, one would need to use an Atlas V or Falcon 9. But at that distance, the fireball would only be around 2 arcminutes. For comparison the sun/moon is ~30 arcminutes and Venus is ~1 arcminute. The fireball wouldn't be that bright, but we'd get a temporary radiation belt and auroras visible across the planet. Though, I've got no idea how bright it would be. This is all post-it math, so I dunno. PS- Imagine meeting a LARP'er or furry, writing Verilog for an SDR for their ham radio hobby. It's also my worst nightmare.

2024-07-27 03:02:39 +0000 UTCMy high school had a shooting range, for the "Civil Defence" classes. We still had the classes, but there was no shooting. Instead we had to memorize siren patterns to know what will kill us. My elementary had cooking facilities - my year only got to do salads. Older kids during chemistry classes played with dry ice. We got exam prep instead. I don't know if this is some conspiracy to make us all lame, or just our parents became lame and saw anything that is more dangerous than a plushie as "unacceptable".

2024-07-26 23:00:44 +0000 UTCI always complain I was born in the worst possible time (end of 80s). I had bunch of books like "Chemistry Experiments" etc., and all of them said stuff like: you will need sulfuric acid for this. You can get it from your local galvanising shop, if you come with your own jar and ask nicely. Other stuff you were apparently able to get easily included cyanide, carbon tet etc. etc. Also it was time when shop skills, like machining etc. were deemed "manual labour", and it was way, way before 3D printers etc. I did some electronics as a hobby, you know, wind up some copper wire over a pen tube, add some magnets and few steps later you have shake-to-charge flashlight. Or hooking LEDs directly to serial port in a PC and blinking lights with C++ xD But again, it was "useless skills" because we all are supposed to wear suits and sit in the offices...
