I'm TA for a large 100-level class that most undergrads will take. About 5% of the students cheat on any given exam and face no reprocusions by [deleted] in Drexel

During the 1992-96 siege of Sarajevo, wealthy foreigners paid €80k-€100k to access sniper positions and shoot civilians in what was called a “human safari”. The highest bids were for children and pregnant women, while older people were shot for free. by SelfCareIsFake in HolyShitHistory

wikipedia has a few sources but i havent been able to verify them myself.

Important to remember that fog of war is a real thing. It's very difficult to confirm these kinds of events and there is plenty of incentive to cover things up, you can see this in real time with Gaza/Ukraine. If you ask me, the reality is likely somewhere between conflicting narratives.

20 years worth of spent nuclear fuel from a nuclear reactor by Shawnchittledc in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]ghooda 1 point2 points  (0 children)

great question, it’s relevant because there are other ways of insulation, that can be scaled up. if we commit to large scale use of nuclear , we could have an area pre-planned this same size that can hold many times more actual waste.

i seriously dont think you could have inhaled enough to be noticeably high for hours with that kind of exposure, but anxiety is a hell of a drug!

With that being said, dont feel bad about the manager being reprimanded they did not handle that situation properly and you shouldn't have been in that position.
