I mean they’re using an effectively off the shelf reactor which if outputted as promised would fatally irradiate anyone in the area, so i’m not sure the’re really set up to do much beyond separation of fools and money.

While true, the this time of the year part of the poster makes me think it’s for people putting up Christmas lights who ran the string backwards and don’t want to switch it around. This is also more dangerous because it ensures that a live male plug is lying around far from the suicide cable itself.

Actual radioactivity matters quite a bit as to how safe it is, and that’s dependent quite a bit on the actual amount and thorium density of the specific item in question. From Tokaimura to a banana levels of radiation covers quite a large range, and I in good faith assumed that if someone was going out of their way to find and mention thorium on Unix socks of all places it was probably a pretty safe assumption that they know the basics and could check where on that spectrum the item falls, that it’s an excuse to play with a detector is most of the fun after all.

Also worth noting that sometimes people just like jewelry made with weird and neat rocks.

Don’t forget Putin bravely defending himself against western imperialism by invading neighboring nations, and how he must secretly be a communist no matter how much of the country he has privatized and sold off to his cronies.

I believe the current text only download version of wikipedia is only 45Gb, and pictures is only another 99GB on top of that. Text and static images are cheap, you generally need raw(or lots) of video to fill a couple 30tb drives in a home environment.

If your runing the event horizon telescope for instance, you needed to put the 5.5PB generated by a single month of observation on a plane to get it from Antarctica, Hawaii, and Chile to the mainland US, and their not even that big compared to the big tech cloud providers.

More seriously, I believe it’s from an episode of Phineas and Ferb.

One country called country and one language called language.

It knows what it did

Same here, it was nice to have a global water cooler to see what peoples experiences with various vendors tended to be, and just to hear what was going on.
