Demon Core accident #1
As he withdrew his hand, he inadvertently dropped the brick onto the center of the assembly. Since the assembly was nearly in the critical state, the accidental addition of that brick caused the reaction to go immediately into the prompt critical region of neutronic behavior.

Demon Core accident #2
At 3:20 p.m., the screwdriver slipped and the upper beryllium hemisphere fell, causing a "prompt critical" reaction and a burst of hard radiation.[8] At the time, the scientists in the room observed the blue glow of air ionization and felt a heat wave.

Actually the whole story of the Demon Core is worth a read in terms of "things not to do with the business end of an atom bomb"

This is a normal post I was once doing a spot of welding on a car.
It was still on the ground so I was sat with crossed legs and, foolishly, wasn't wearing an apron.

It wasn't until I got home that I spotted the small hole in the crotch of my trousers, two corresponding holes in my pants and a fourth in the seat of my trousers.

After that I thought it best to not fuck around where flying gobbets of red-hot steel are concerned.

This is a normal post Not wishing to agree with the conspiratorially minded lunatic, but...
"“Just before the patient died, they looked at their nurse and said ‘I think I made a mistake, I thought this was a hoax, but it’s not,’” said Dr Jane Appleby, the chief medical officer at Methodist hospital in San Antonio."

Just before he died? Really? Did he wake up from his induced coma and unplug himself from the ventilator to say that? Or was the illness so strong that one moment he was sat up talking to his nurse and the very next moment he dropped dead?

Of course the main takeaway is that Covid parties are for suicidal idiots, but Grauniad journalists suck, and/or that quoted doctor misspoke.

This is a normal post so you have a practising doctor going on record, but you think it's a media conspiracy based on what, your pissant opinion of covid?
you make a quite misinformed assumption that all those who die from covid die on mechanical ventilation?
I put together training for doctors and nurses on all the different ways people are dying of covid, and there's a lot of people dying in many different ways.
sepsis is a major killer of covid patients, to name one. basically after covid is done ravaging your body and immune system, starving oxygen from vital organs and damaging them, you become a big risk of sepsis death, which can happen days or weeks after you're taken off ventilation if you were on it in the first place, which not all patients are. intubation is quite a serious step and not without it's risks or difficulties. A scenario where a covid patient is still able to communicate and then dies in less than an hour from untreatable sepsis is not particularly far fetched or uncommon. Some are told they're likely to die, as health professionals have an obligation not to give inaccurate information to patients. This includes this treating doctor who would lose her job if it turns out she's been inventing patient histories, though there's not a skerrick of evidence to support your wild aspersions.
It's not the guardian who sucks, they're reporting a story from a verified on-record source, it's your massively uninformed opinions talking about shit you don't know just because it makes some dicks feel better to believe everything is fake news.

This is a normal post yes, several newspapers covered the story, given the doctor made an on-record video statement
including the daily mail, ABC news, and Tuổi Trẻ Online - for all your vietnamese news. That's how news works. As I said, the NYT is different article written by a different journalist, and only relevant to some "fake news lying NYT" idiot

I don't doubt the veracity of anything in the article. But, well, let's just say I think we can agree it's just a funny news story rather than a movement (nb. I think America is insane, coronavirus is real, Trump is a dictator).

Interestingly, this type of article is exactly the type of thing the Russians ran on facebook in order to help get Trump elected: they put Black Lives Matter posts in the newsfeeds of white nationalists, and put NRA adverts in the groups of liberals who hate guns.

I was just scrolling through b3ta links and reading a few comments and the Turtles theme popped in to my head for some reason. Crazy how the mind works.

Anyway, this is a comparison between the USA and UK titles sequence which is actually a bit more than just swapping ninja for hero it turns out.

 (Sherbs, Mon 13 Jul 2020, 8:37, , Reply)
This is a normal post It was to do with 'repeatability' as I recall
The idea was that the BBFC censored anything that kids could easily repeat and cause significant harm.

So swords are ok because kids will just use sticks for swords, and getting clobbered with a stick is pretty minor stuff, unless your mate uses a really, really big stick.

But nunchucks are a different kettle of hyenas. Two short bits of wood and some string and suddenly you can knock some poor sod out without too much trouble.

It was the same deal with punching and headbutting. Punching is ok, people will get bruised, but you're unlikely to knock someone out unless you get lucky. BBFC used to cut headbutts from sub-15 rated stuff because headbutting requires very little skill, and can do serious damage to butt-er and butt-ee alike.

I'm not sure I 100% agreed with it, but it makes a kind of sense.

This is a normal post There are sticks and then there are sticks.
Stick fighting with garden canes can get quite bloody, as I recall. Once they start to split open they pinch your skin and start ripping bits off. And wooden swords are fairly deadly, they can surely break bones. All sticks and whatnot can put someone's eye out.

I think nunchucks were just something new and alien to these censor pricks.

But I thought that it probably wasn't much better than the original PC version on the shelf behind my screen, and I didn't want to sign up to something to play a game that must be twenty years old by now. Damn Ubisoft for even asking.

Thinking about it though, I had probably had second thoughts about playing such a long game that - if I'm being honest - was pretty fucking boring the first time around.

I've seen a lot of TT footage but not that one - I can't get over how close to the limit they're going on just about every corner. I didn't realise until recently that when they feel the front tyre start to let go, the remedy is to apply more power to take load off the front - any letting off is going to make things worse. On a track you might have space to go wide, but that's not an option in road racing. I hope I never find myself in that situation - I'd certainly die!

you see his hands disappearing below the table several times.
Also you only need slight difference in rigged cards to feel for in cutting. tiny size differences that aren't that apparent (or he shows a uniform deck and switches in a rigged one) or they can be treated with an extra tacky edge coating. human fingertips are very sensitive, you can feel things too small for your eye to see, and can be trained

This is a normal post I used to do close up magic
And though I didn't do many card tricks I did one very intricate one at a dinner party that started with somebody selecting a card straight out of a sealed pack from a riffle. The trick was in doctoring the card to make it slightly shorter, then meticulously resealing the pack. I then tore the corner off the card, put the remainder in an envelope and burned it. About an hour later somebody peeled an orange and found the 'same' card compete with the matching torn corner in the middle of an orange. I thought they would be impressed but the party just descended into a huge argument, so a lot of effort for nothing and I didn't do that one again.
