Just throwing this out there - isn't the reason that, in reactors, they put spent nuclear fuel rods in a pool of water because water is extremely good at smothering the spread of nuclear radiation, IE down to like 20-25 feet?

That is to say, if there was some kind of critical incident at sea where a submarine was sheared in half and sunk to the bottom of the ocean with a reactor on track to melt down, doesn't that problem solve itself, because you're left with a hull at the bottom of the ocean that's only a danger to things within an incredibly small distance of it?

Yes, water keeps them cool and does a good job of slowing and blocking radiation.

Yes, there would be very few issues from the reactor sinking, even in a worst case scenario. The solution to pollution is dilution, and there's a hell of a lotta water in the ocean...

I wonder how Larry David and @Larry David's Opera Cape feel about this. Larry did introduce Cheryl to him.

Someone needs to edit this with the music at the end.

fuck me, Mobi just said "when india and US work together 1+1 dosent equal 2 it equals 11"

if anyone else is watching and grabbed a clip of it, its worth preserving

They're just accounting for all the extra indians nepo-hired along the way.

Only if it's heavy water, which is an artificial creation. The Russians have a nuke sub that sank and it's currently slowly leaking radiation despite it safely shutting down (rip the sailors who actually did their jobs properly and saved hundreds of thousands of lives), making other countries have to figure out how to safely deal with it. General idea is to just say fuckit and throw a coffin around the bitch until a safe solution to bring it up without jostling can be done.

Nuclear contamination is scary, and you don't even need a meltdown for it, just retarded communism. It's why I give the green retards at least a benefit of a doubt that they do genuinely believe nuclear waste is an issue, since it's a slow and insidious poison when not dealt with correctly, and why the US has the most expensive and literally train-proof containers they use to move that shit.

At least 4 on the list are demonstrably good for you

B complex and magnesium are literally required to live. Ashwagandha and theanine are great for anxiety. Creatine is probably the most extensively and consistently proven sups for athletic performance, with rodeo rhodesia not far behind.

I don't know shit about Jnco Balboa though, nor ginseng nor beetroot.

Former teacher here, I put in my 2 weeks last week, f1/soccer streaming will keep me afloat for a while. Quit once the two nigger gangbangers showed up into my class high as a kite and security did nothing. Then a half spic and nigger sophomore Chonga threatened to make up an assault claim against me by “pushing her.” My faggot admin did nothing because Niggers ruined it. Once we put funding for niggers graduating education died

I was so proud of Linda McMahon. Kill the doe. Destroy unions. Burn public ed to the fucking ground.

Unfortunate, brother.
You may find some solace and a place to kvetch in the African American Appreciation Thread.

So... I give the odds of the Federal Reserve being destroyed somewhere between "They're turning the fricking frogs gay" and "Walmart FEMA camps".

Apparently a DoD friend of a friend of mine got fired by the DOGE crew because he legally couldn't disclose what his department did because the zoomer didn't have clearance.
And it does bring up a good point. I get 99% of the people getting purged, but they can at least try to defend themselves. Clearance people can't simply because they face major repercussions if they compromise that secrecy to those who aren't cleared. So that begs the question on if DOGE is acting as smart as is being said.

Your friend's friend is a liar or someone along the line is. DOGE hasn't made it to the DoD yet. Nice fan fic though.

REPORTER: Would you direct agencies to study the impact tariffs would have on prices in the US?

TRUMP: No. There's nothing to study. It's gonna go well.

Did he actually talk to DOGE people? I'm curious how that went if so.
Also, there's basically no job where you can say nothing about it, he should have had a canned response ready that describes it well enough. Plenty of people leave clearance jobs to work in the private sector and can explain what they did without getting into the classified side. Smarter Every Day on Youtube was an engineer working with classified stuff and has had no issue sharing some of what he's worked on without getting into specifics, as a prominent example.

If possible and depending on your situation, relocate to where the niggers aren't. Rural America is full of bright, white children that deserve a caring teacher and relatively cheap housing.

Basic thesis is modern architecture is so bloody boring because construction methods have changed. A lot of early 20thcentury architecture rests on the reality that construction is an imperfect process, so adjustments will have to be made in the process, therefore much of the detail exists to hide and exploit those imperfections to create a greater whole. Then he talks about how shitty the UN building is.

IMO he's technically right but its still a bit of a dumb take because it doesn't really take shit like siding, veneers, etc, into account and how we use them today.
If you really think about it I guess you could make an argument for it, since we're able to highly optimize the cost of our buildings while still being very precise with construction, but how much does a strip of injection molded plastic to be used as decorative trim really cost? how much money does it take for me to injection mold a greek-revival styled cover for a wooden support pillar? how much would that cost? Its not like its gonna fuck with the structural integrity of the building, that's what the frame is for.

Obviously its not the same, but the whole point im trying to make here is that If you wanted to make your building look more "traditional", I don't think you'd need to break the bank in order to get good results, particularly with modern manufacturing/building techniques.
The ultimate reason, if you ask me, is because its just not in "style" to do so.

He said the broccoli hair was in fact the interviewer, but if Yandex is accurate here, there's probably more to this story than I initially thought.

I always laugh when there are idiots like @YHWH's Strongest Soldier who claim lefties are the creative ones when they haven't made anything funny or creative in the last fifty years and only poorly rehash things they don't understand, there is reason why more and more comedians are right leaning

Anyone who pretends that leftists are uniquely creative is a naive idiot, genuinely. I don't care if it's been studied and peer reviewed by the soyence committee, this retarded sentiment wasn't even true before the globohomo corporatocracy went into propaganda overdrive in the 2010s. For every George Orwell there are 6 million shitlib novelists who are all Patrick Tomlinson-tier.
