Low blow on West Virginia. Cool state and nice people. Hoping to move there someday.

Look up deaths per kWHr of different energy sources and come back to me

Hand them over, I can still use those Uranium rods as dildos.

I’m shocked I tell you

Are these Merengadas?

Found something, they don’t mention these physicist sticking their head in the beam but this probably points to the origin of the story.

I’m not misremembering what my professor said, I even remembered the years (1930s) correctly. To quote him more accurately he said “a lot of early particle physicist damaged their vision because they would stick their head on a particle accelerator to check if they had a beam going” and then he proceeded to mimick the motion of dunking his head down bobbing his head back and forth pretending to intercept a beam with his temples.

:(

If I remember correctly he was talking about physicist in the 30s, or one of those decades. Not sure when particle collider research started.

Discovery of the century, anti gravity beam!

Context: My physics professor told me how early particle physicist would stick their head on a beam of a particle accelerator to check for a beam, they would know if their eyes would flash as the beam went through. Surprisingly this messed up their vision over time.

Unfortunately I cannot find a source on this, but I choose to believe my professor.

Edit: Found something though they don’t talk about intercepting beams with their head

Hes right. We gotta stay true to the science even through our shitposts.

I recently came to terms with being a trans woman and started coming out of the closet. Trump and the republicans took complete control of the government not long after this. The day after the election I was joking with my co workers in the lab that I won’t get sent to the concentration camps because “I’ll be one of the good ones”. I’m obviously being sarcastic but take it how you will. We’ll need some fucked up humor to get through some of the dark shit we’ll be dealing with these coming years.

I was more alluding to the fact that derivatives of his nerve agents were used to gas prisoners in concentration camps (Zyklon B)

From 1919 to 1923 Haber continued to be involved in Germany’s secret development of chemical weapons, working with Hugo Stoltzenberg, and helping both Spain and Russia in the development of chemical gases.[12]: 169

…

During the 1920s, scientists working at Haber’s institute developed the cyanide gas formulation Zyklon A

…

By 1931, Haber was increasingly concerned about the rise of National Socialism in Germany, and the possible safety of his friends, associates, and family. Under the Law for the Restoration of the Professional Civil Service of 7 April 1933, Jewish scientists at the Kaiser Wilhelm Society were particularly targeted. The Zeitschrift für die gesamte Naturwissenschaft (“Journal for all natural sciences”) charged that “The founding of the Kaiser Wilhelm Institutes in Dahlem was the prelude to an influx of Jews into the physical sciences. The directorship of the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute for Physical and Electrochemistry was given to the Jew, F. Haber, the nephew of the big-time Jewish profiteer Koppel”. (Koppel was not actually related to Haber.)[12]: 277–280  Haber was stunned by these developments, since he assumed that his conversion to Christianity and his services to the state during World War I should have made him a German patriot. [39] Ordered to dismiss all Jewish personnel, Haber attempted to delay their departures long enough to find them somewhere to go.[12]: 285–286  As of 30 April 1933, Haber wrote to Bernhard Rust, the national and Prussian minister of Education, and to Max Planck, president of the Kaiser Wilhelm Society, to tender his resignation as the director of the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute, and as a professor at the university, effective 1 October 1933. He said that although as a converted Jew he might be legally entitled to remain in his position, he no longer wished to do so.[12]: 280

If it wasn’t going g to happen now it was going to happen 4 years from now. These people were never going to go away. Now we just have to let them burn the country down to completion before people come back to their senses. It sucks we have to be the ones living through it though

Nice pfp

It’s easily one of my favorite movies, and I think the characters and themes of 2049 stay truer to the book than the original bladerunner even though the plot changed.

Looked it up, 1.5 million years
