I’m hoping the wheel of progress will start turning with Orbán out, but didn’t another country elect a pro-Russia stooge recently? It only takes one to obstruct everything.

If you block the OP you’ll get rid of a huge chunk of it. They’re one of the most blatant agenda posters on the Fediverse - they’re on track to hit 6,000 posts in their first year, many (most?) of which are puff pieces about China.

Same. Lonely Island made some absolute bangers. Boombox, Jack Sparrow, I Just Had Sex and Jizz In My Pants all earned a place in my regular music playlist.

But we all know how things would end.

Lock S-foils in attack position!

Oh no, another rabbit hole.

Well, down I go!

I wasn’t disagreeing, just expanding on your point. :)

There are examples of lost metals in real life. Damascus/wootz steel (the actual historical metal, not the pattern welding technique often marketed as Damascus steel) was produced for multiple millennia and was prized for its ability to hold a sharp edge and resist shattering, before the technique to make it was lost in the early 1900s.

Modern material analysis has identified some of how and why it was so resilient and metallurgists have come up with reproductions that achieve most of its qualities, but the exact technique and circumstances behind it remain lost to time even though it only stopped being produced a mere century ago.

I second the request for a link if you can remember it. Raising stacks of lead from the seafloor sounds like an interesting (and expensive!) engineering challenge, especially if they aren’t bound together.

Bad news is the same framework that fucked us is almost guaranteed to be actively working to do the same in whatever country you live in. So use us as an example and prevent this shit from happening to you early before it’s too fucking late

The people that fucked us have already fucked a bunch of other nations. The rise of right wing authoritarianism in Europe over the last few decades was aided by political operatives like Paul Manafort, who then directed that experience towards domestic politics.

And then there are the missionaries and evangelicals whose indoctrination programs pushed bigotry and intolerance in various African nations, leading to some of the harshest laws criminalizing LGTBQ in the world.

For a culture that’s constantly complaining about “globalism”, they sure spend a lot of time and money spreading their influence overseas.

So this is probably a dumb question, but why would “new” lead be any more radioactive than ancient ingots? Wouldn’t it be the same age (whenever the deposit was formed) and have decayed the same amount while still in the ground?

The last console I owned was the Xbox 360. Once I started seeing non-gaming advertisements on my home screen, I lost all interest in the product line.

Sometimes I think internet connectivity was a mistake.

There aren’t any repercussions for submitting a false DMCA claim. There are for pushing the claim after the target files a counterclaim, but it’d require an uphill legal battle that most people aren’t able to fight so they simply give in and pull their video even if it falls under fair use.

Then to add to that, YouTube’s own policy will suspend your account after a few copyright claims regardless of their merits, and getting strikes removed is nearly impossible.

Basically if you’re not a major corporation with a legal team on standby, you’re getting screwed by both sides.

Swearing and praising Allah are two things that might upset his base more than the pedophilia and warmongering ever did.

How is Solus these days? It was my daily driver a few years ago and I loved how simple and performant it was, but I moved away from it after the second time project leadership crashed out and had to be replaced.

IIRC it’s also one of the worst greenhouse gasses in existence, unfortunately.

Edit: the worst greenhouse gas. Why are cool things always secretly terrible?

But had bragged on tape about getting away with sexual assault.

Wouldn’t all but the largest RTGs struggle to power more than a few incandescent light bulbs, though? Looking at the table on Wikipedia, their output is usually only from a few dozen to a few hundred watts.
