You’re forgiven, lovely. 💚

This is actually a pretty good thought.

Yes, actually. This is definately a source they use.

My special interest is what happened similarly with silver dirhams in the late Viking Age. You can see the silver got increasingly less pure from the source (Middle East) which reverberated into Scandinavia and early fortified towns. I reposted this recently in [email protected], but this is from one of my old lecturers and it gives an overview of the relationships between Scandinavia and the Middle East during this time which is not well understood by the general public: https://aeon.co/essays/the-viking-age-is-undergoing-a-revisionist-transformation

The caveat being that these papers are preprints, aka not peer reviewed. It’s got a lot of gems, but also a metric fuck ton of garbage. Use it as a starting place, not a finishing one, like Wikipedia… but it’s sometimes even less reliable. If it’s not your specially, find better sources.

This is my experience too, ironically. Lmao. One woman I even chose for her compassionate care awards. I never saw her again. I still generally seek out women doctors for other things.

Even just some novocaine does wonders. I’m due a new one and I keep putting it off. I’ve had 3. One they gave me (fairly useless) paracetamol. I had one without anything and one with novocaine. Ironically the latter was my first (15 years ago!!). They seem to have gotten worse each time.

This is the first thing I saw. I’m so triggered. I have a broken centerfuge lid on my desk rn that unbalanced everything for years. I think I’m going to keep it to remind me that “this too shall pass.”

I have to take my meds an hour before I have to get up because it makes me so exhausted.

No pain, no gain.

TIL the University of Illinois is Chinese propaganda. There’s a list of them in the wikipedia, but you’re not arguing in good faith lmao.

You obviously haven’t read these or watched that video as that’s covered. It’s literally physics.

Ideally we’d be doing/improving on something like this where modern nuclear plants can make up for gaps in renewables.

I don’t speak German. Generation 3+ only came into use in the West in the last 5-10 years. China has over 150 planned for a reason, watch the link I already provided. They are fundamentally built to avoid the accidents of the past. The standards set by the Chinese on this meet Western standards, hell, they are selling the tech to us.

More on China, because the YT link already covers this stuff:

• https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S258900422500183X

This is for the older plants. The newer plants are fundamentally different (Gen 3+). There are ways to mitigate these things.

It was a resort, good riddance. If it was a museum/memorial it would be sad, but nah, it’s still just a place for rich white people. Those southern resorts always gave me major ick.

Thread that explains it pretty well.

GOOD. BUILD MORE. The newer generations of nuclear plants can recycle their own waste and are basically meltdown proof. It’s a no brainer. Shit is literally alchemy magic.

LPT: add a lemon peel and honey to any coffee incl instant and it will taste gourmet. Add condensed milk if you’re feeling fancy. This is what I do for fieldwork coffee. I learned this off a good Brazilian friend, never went back. I always do at least the peel now, it neutralises the acids.
