Personally, I find all the other eschatological possibilities much more disturbing. The heaven/hell dichotomy is unnerving on a lot of obvious levels. Reincarnation seems fraught with neverending suffering. And the idea of becoming a “ghost” or a spirit, forever consigned to haunt some old place is as terrible as it is ridiculous.
I’m looking forward to my hard earned non-existence, thank you very much.
Not on a “per calorie” basis they aren’t. And I’m not really sure by what other metric you can compare them. But look at how many calories of broccoli $3 gets you compared to potato chips. Then you have to add in the time of preparation.
Additionally, many impoverished people tend to live in “food deserts”, areas without grocery stores, but many fast Food locations.
The deck is definitely stacked against the impoverished.
That’s kinda genius. I never would have thought to use my soldering iron for that. (Of course, I am big dumb dumb.) I’ll grab a sacrificial tip and give this a shot.
That’s very cool. I feel like it would have been slightly more “welcoming” looking if you’d been able to keep a little more detail around the mouth, maybe even just a line intimating lips. But this was a very cool project.
I have fantasies of getting a copy of the file the next time my dentist does a 3D scan of my mouth for a night guard or something. He confirmed it will output an STL file. (But he wasn’t willing to do “just for fun”)
There have been three accidents related to nuclear power generation, Three Mile Island, Chernobyl and Fukashima. There were a total of 33 deaths attributed to those three incidents (32 from Chernobyl and 1 from Fukashima.)
There are 58 deaths per terawatt-hour attributed to coal alone, mostly due to air pollution.
I’d say that nuclear power is very close to completely harmless in comparison. Certainly in contrast to its perception among the general public.
