fairly thin line between being gutsy and being stupid... only determined in retrospect

more a case of "out of the fire and into the frying pan..."

A remarkably good analogue of the political theater that we are treated to on a daily basis... Can't decide which one is Trump the Chump and which is Fancy Nancy...

this is quite interesting data and provides sobering perspective on the lives routinely lost due to malaria and malnutrition that go on year after year with little notice from the developed world whereas, because COVID-19 is attacking the developed world somewhat more broadly than just the under developed world, it brings our (developed world) economy to a virtual standstill.

what happens when you get a collision of two entitled A-holes...

not funny

Sometimes, stupid is painful...

That one deserves a prize - but more than a little bit unnerving...

This is a problem not exclusive to wind machines and is, thanks to social media, a universal problem. Unfortunately, many/most humans believe the first thing they hear/see regarding an issue. It is possible to "inoculate" a population against this viral misinformation, but it requires that accurate information is widely distributed before the malicious virus is.

Interesting vortex at coming off the wings or tail at ~4:20

without doubt, the garbage that was tested is worthless - but the testing presented was a bit naive. Alpha particles do have a very short path-length - the alpha radiation that he was detecting (while the emitter was covered) may well have been from radon gas that is being produced by the the thorium in these devices. The threat from skin exposure to directly generated alphas is likely negligible - but the threat from ingestion of the thorium oxide coming off these dangerous trinkets is likely much greater than he recognized. A significant fraction of lung cancer deaths are from inhaled radon daughter products that occur naturally - all these products are part of the decay series for thorium...

uhhh, any of you guys ever lived in Iran??? You know the place, it's where they beat women on the street with sticks if the religious police don't think they are dressed properly...
She clearly has an agenda, and can't be taken at face value, but anyone that listens to the media without questioning their agenda is nothing short of foolish...

poop floats when there's fat in it... who knew???

too bad the sound is not on for this video - sounded like a war zone...

uhhh, why couldn't he have walked it up over the snow????
