No, you misread. He gets off at 6. The thing starts at 7, and runs for 4 hours.

the British Air Force pilot chickened out, and instead of going to Germany, he just spent time flying in circles so that his officers didn't get suspicious and then dropped the bombs wherever.

I'll think that in that era especially nearly all WASPs were racist.

It's like a trust fall, but in reverse. The sensible kids refuse to use the zipline, and are vindicated when their compatriots die. From this they learn the world is a dangerous place and authority figures can not be trusted.

Fun story!

some scientists did basically this with a young mouse and an old mouse, and all that young blood reversed some aging in the old mouse!

So yeah, you could do it, a blood human centipede where the old people suck the youth out of the young people.

And you thought you were mad at boomers for ruining the job market and house prices and the environment. Just wait until they start this poo poo.

Testing for this involves putting the urine in a liquid scintillator and looking for light flashes, which you'll get from the alphas and the associated gammas. Because there should be zero, even a few flashes are enough for someone to determine there's contamination.

Wasn't Kai Tak the one where there was a checkerboard pattern on some mountain which signalled where pilots needed to start some blind turn?

Imagine what you could achieve with that kind of efficiency. knock your work week out in 2 days and have 5 days free to sit around and do drugs.

The rule is "inner side goes down, outer side goes up", far as I know. It's about priority of evacuation, and it applies to either clockwise or counterclockwise staircases naturally.

this is a bit of a myth - it wasn't until more intense urbanization in the later middle ages/beginning of the early modern period that you started having water problems, which peaked during the industrial era. groundwater is mostly decent to drink so long as you dont have too many humans dipping into it

like most stories about how medieval people were filthy and stupid, these were stories told by industrial age people to excuse how they were all choking on smog and dying of cholera

This whole video is very OSHA and very interesting. Divers living in an athmosphere of hydrogen and helium at 500 meters for a month, screwing pipes.

I don't have any more access to stuff than the average person really, so don't know if I can shed loads of light. But that's definitely a very interesting incident if you dig a bit. Gets political very quickly though, as it basically boils down to "because privatisation".

the crash looks like it tore off the ship's barcode too, so even if they had made it back into port they'd have no way to scandinavian.

In 1983, the Consumer Product Safety Commission closed its two-year investigation and felt it impossible to create a product recall at the time because of budget issues, even as Federal Pacific panels and breakers continued to be installed in millions of homes

"Those shiftless union layabouts crippling our industries" has been an awfully convenient narrative for the neoliberal governments of the last 40 years.

I'm sure it's nothing to do with management not spending time or money on QA or efficiency in the way that Japanese car makers did, and instead relying on a safe domestic market that would never be open to competition.

During the Cold War Lada had dealerships in New Zealand of all places (the Soviet Union traded cars for NZ meat and butter). Their reliability made them especially popular on remote islands.
