What’s a mater?
No really, I don’t know what it is. Is it like a local dialect for tomato?

I meant the machine itself! The print out is your typical systemd boot, though they’re usually covered by a distro splash but it can be disabled.

49% owned by Rosneft while another 49% are owned by “UCP” (Russia’s United Capital partners). Basically a 100% russian refinery in India…

I’ve never seen one of these, but I assume it performs other functions - surely monitoring sensors, probably reporting that data, maybe allowing triggering maintenance functions, etc.
That said, processing and storage is so cheap on this scale that it’s probably better (and cheaper) to go with a tried and true, widely supported system, than it is to optimize with custom hardware/firmware.

- Comment on Anal probing doesn't seem that bad 6 days ago:
Maybe it’s just some people who are so afraid and yet so fascinated about the thought of getting plowed in the ass, that they have to envision a powerful, advanced alien race that they’re unable to fight, so they can justify the fantasy to themselves without having to come to terms as to why their peepee tingles when they look at other peepees.

Oh, I was thinking this was late 90’s setup, but if that’s a PS3 then it’s like 10 years later…
- Comment on Think about what today is considered next level vs what it used to be 1 week ago:
I would never in a million years would consider this as “next level” unless there’s a MegaDrive behind those doors under the TV.
- Comment on [VIDEO] Japan Sanctions Visa after the Censorship of Anime and Manga 1 week ago:
To this day, I don’t understand why Visa or MasterCard are necessary. If the banks can’t create a global, shared way of processing payments, then the governments should step in and do it for them.

While you raise a valid question, this is 100% a joke.

I’d go with “OK” as well, but on the grounds that the intent isn’t sating hunger.
Wait, I mean, not that kind…

I absolutely despise the game, so there’s two of us.

Is this just a meme, or not? I can’t tell. I expect that as a proper, responsible tiefling pyromaniac, I’d always be touching myself - and occasionally casting Protection from Energy while I’m at it. Or keep Absorb Elements in my back pocket.

Yes, that’s the second arc.
In the first accident there were no half-spheres, the neutrons were being reflected back using bars of tungsten carbide placed around the exposed core.
Wiki photo from a recreation of the first incident: Image
In the second accident, a year later, the reflective material was the two beryllium half-spheres. Shims were used to ensure the two halves were never fully closed, which would trigger the nuclear chain reaction.
Supposedly, this guy liked to show off and had done this demonstration a dozen times in front of different audiences, wearing jeans and cowboy boots and using his screwdriver instead of the shims.
Some report that Fermi told the guy and others that “they would be dead in a year” if they kept doing that… and voila.
The good thing is that he at least was hunched over the core, so he mostly shielded everyone else in the room from the worst of the radiation by absorbing it himself. 9 days later, he was dead. The guy closest to him was in the hospital for several weeks with severe radiation poisoning, but at least survived but died fairly young, in his 50s, which may or may not have been related…

That was hilarious. Also kinda spooky to think that, if Japan hadn’t surrendered, Demon Core-kun would have been the 3rd nuke dropped over them.
The cartoon only covers the second story arc though, the one with the screwdriver.
In the first arc, the core is “nude” and they’re stacking neutron-reflecting bricks around it to bring it close to criticality. A scientist drops a brick by accident on top of the core and boom, blue light and you’re dead (takes 2 weeks for your body to notice though).

I never understood the fixation on IPs. For a kick ass universe with amazing lore etc, ok sure.
I mean I love Jev and the gang as much as the next guy, but they’re not core to my enjoyment of KSP1. The mechanics were.

You really took the bit between your teeth blaming the lycan there, didn’t you Mr Fox. The lab guys are pulling teeth to get the results, but we’ll soon know who’s bite marks are on that girl who bit the bullet. You wouldn’t be lying through your teeth now would you? Because I’ll sink my teeth into you and bring you down if it’s the last thing I do…
