They must have used frame stacking to get everything into focus like this, I imagine…

It must have been only a few days or so after the detonation, since the dog died from radiation poisoning just then.

Also, electricity was still running.

Surely you must have rebooted it since then? It’s possible it could last through a reboot I guess, since it’s only displaying the difference between current_time and start_time, not actually counting every millisecond when it’s in the background.

Edit: ok, yeah, I just tried it: reboots don’t reset the stopwatch, whaddya know!

WTH, there’s an initialism to make everyone feel bad these days*… Leave them Lycra daddies alone! I can hardly think of a more wholesome hobby!

(* no offense meant to acronym & initialism smiths. Your work is valued.)

Jealousy is one of those personality attributes that can swing (heh) wildly in intensity from one extreme to another for different people (or sometimes the same person at different stages of their life).

It can be almost 100% emotional and irrational or can be “meh” or even “that’s kinda hot”.

Here, hold this cable for a second.

Ok.

Feel anything?

No?..

Ok, well then avoid this other one, it must be the one that’s at 10’000 volts.

They remind me of Hanafuda cards which I think look really pretty in a naive exotic style. More about Hanafuda.

There is even an emoji based on Hanafuda: 🎴

I think it’s exactly that, although that’s a name I’ve only learned of recently… Sorry about the weirding out. I can understand how it sounds when it’s not a conclusion you’ve reached on your own already.

You’re totally right. I really should, and I will.

EDIT: I actually started scheduling a vasectomy right now. I had wanted to do one before but things were a little more complicated then and it had slipped my mind in the meantime / did not seem as relevant. Now is a perfect time however.

Thank you for getting me moving again.

My opinion also, but in a slightly darker radical tone that I never share otherwise: bringing someone into this world of suffering is a misguided act of unconscious selfishness and whoever does so owes all available effort to reduce that suffering. In practice, no one is able to acquit themselves of this debt, which is why I hope I never have kids…

Of course, definitely!

Now tell us the gotcha.

I put on my harness and horse-ears hat…

It’s an article called “Human trials begin for drug that could let adults regrow teeth for the first time”.

There’s a precedent and it isn’t helping the chances for a conviction:

This is the second undersea cable-related investigation to reach prosecution, as another Russian-linked ship, the Eagle S oil tanker, was involved in another suspected sabotage on Christmas Day 2024. Three officers of the “shadow fleet” tanker were charged with the same criminal cases that the Fitburg crew are facing, although Finland failed to secure a conviction, as the court said that it did not have jurisdiction over the case because the incident happened outside of Finnish territorial waters. The ruling is currently under appeal, though, with prosecutors arguing that “the effects of the crime materialized here in Finland.”

I guess we’ll never know what happened to them…

I don’t think we can avoid the multiple extinction events we’re heading for… And I’m not convinced that we should, to be honest.
