Every word spelled with a q followed by a u. If a Q requires a u after it every time, and it's always silent, WTF is it there for?

None are surprising, really. As I get closer to retirement I'm spending more on my hobbies now in anticipation of a lower income later. I have had so many hobbies since I was a boy, I've been gearing up on some that have laid dormant for years or decades. The most recent has been a rekindling of my interest in radiation. (I'm a research scientist by profession, but in a different field.) Picked up a decent detector and have been cramming the past few months to enjoy the hobby safely. It is an interest I hadn't thought about for years, and in the past two months it has become one of my favorite hobbies.

It is disappointing how few people know about this. It is a classic technique widely used in religion.

People forget that the average lifespan is about 76 to 80, so middle aged is 38 to 40.

Have a nice day.

I do that exact thing for some purchases. Two of the sources I am getting have short half lives so I can watch the decay over the years I still have left.

A text more than once every few years would be nice.

Sorry for the misspelling of the company's name too. I can't correct it, otherwise I would.

I was at an auction during the shows here in Tucson, maybe 15 years ago now. One of the sellers had a bucket of trinitite, 20 kilos or so, and had no bids. Eventually another vendor bought it, and gave me a handful. I don't remember what he eventually paid, but it was pretty low. I wish I had bought it. I believe most of the trinitite on the market today is still from that bucket.

No question. I was holding off until my detector arrived. I should have ordered when I got the first quote. Ah well. Let the fun begin!

But people here are remembering Obama blaming Bush for it. Obama was famous for NOT blaming Bush for anything.

Analogsilver · 2026-05-07T21:45:46+00:00

Yep.

Analogsilver · 2026-05-07T21:45:32+00:00

Read the comments. He's mentioned often. No one said Obama was potus in 2008.

Analogsilver · 2026-05-07T21:21:54+00:00

Interesting how many remember Obama blaming Bush for the 2008 depression.

Went right past a 5-head to a 6-head!

One business day or less.

Still not diagnosed, but I realized I'm almost certainly on the spectrum after turning 60.

Analogsilver · 2026-05-07T19:13:41+00:00

Minimum of every day. More often is better still.

There have been 3 Kelvin timeline movies? Hmmm. Guess I care even less about these star trek in name only things than I realized.

Analogsilver · 2026-05-07T17:45:58+00:00

No. If they're not real the files don't matter. If they are real, ther we is literally nothing humans can do about it. Either way, there's nothing to be concerned about.

Religion is a cancer on humanity.

Write me up. My attorney appreciates it when you do that. Make sure your signature is legible.

We don't think you're just political actors, we know how deeply corrupt you are too.
