Comment Re:So, about 1 grocery banana display (Score 2, Funny) 47

If the wasp nest is about 10x10cm, that would be 100,000 disintegrations/minute = 45 nanocuries, or about the same as 100 bananas (~0.5 nanocuries/banana). Which is about what was on the shelf at my grocery store when I bought bananas yesterday.

But ... but ... how can I get panic and outrage out of that???

Comment It *is* social media ... (Score 3, Insightful) 124

... or at any rate, a platform for such.

Trying to ban it or whatever seems pretty useless, but it's silly to deny that it functions as social media.

I mean it's literally in the name, "You" post videos, others watch them, comment on them, react to them, share them, etc.

"because it 'cannot be governed globally in a fair, inclusive, and effective manner.'"

"inclusive"? Would the clouds somehow let different amounts of sun in for different races?

Especially when it is done in public on video. But I am just an aging Gen X'er with Catholic values!

I knew you'd get the ritual beating reaction here, lol

You are of course right though. Life is much simpler, safer, and happier if you only have sex with your own spouse.

So my answer is that they are getting better in comparison to athletes from before, we are just finding people that better fit the requirements for each sport.

Which is why I've never much liked elite level sports.

They literally feature a collection of genetic freaks. It's nothing like normal, human sporting fun.

I think in broad strokes, infidelity is bad, but when it comes to a specific case, I'd say nobody is in a position to judge without much more context.

Well, at any rate, infidelity is the only real broad societal issue that features here in this story.

I don't think there has ever (2025? 1925? 1625?) been much expectation of privacy, when canoodling amongst a crowd of thousands ...
