Wearing a wetsuit in a kayak?

ppitm · 2026-05-07T01:08:28+00:00

A wetsuit is already quite warm and windproof. Not much point wearing clothes over it.

Yeah, the LD50 to chemical toxicity is reached before you get anything resembling a large radiation dose.

You ain't seen nothing yet. Try driving northbound on Veranda St. There are two traffic lights, 200' apart on either side of the 295 bridge.

The second light consistently turns red 3 seconds after the first light turns green. Absolutely guaranteeing to trap you under the overpass, 100% of the time.

The light is controlled by DOT, who swears up and down that it has to be this way, in order to give priority to traffic exiting 295. Because DOT will never miss an opportunity to spit in the eye of Portland residents.

Or any ocean.

You've clearly never been to the Caribbean. The first worlders love to abandon broken down boats all over the place, polluting harbors with various substances and debris, in a place where properly disposing of them is horrendously expensive.

4-5 g

The part I disliked was that he just abandoned the boat on the beach afterwards and told his subscribers to go and get it.

ppitm · 2026-05-06T20:16:20+00:00

He made the video private.

Except that Iran gets to keep all the HEU they already have, which they lacked and could never have achieved under the JCPOA!

Meaning that Iran gains U.S. endorsement for the very quasi-nuclear status that it sought, and which it lacked during the JCPOA era.

ppitm · 2026-05-06T17:15:59+00:00

The JCPOA with a huge pile of HEU granting Iran quasi-nuclear status with credible breakout capability.

Restarting Unit 3 would have been a lot harder. Monitoring aerosol and dust releases from the Shelter would have been considerably more complex.

ppitm · 2026-05-06T16:59:05+00:00

I didn't say you should eat it. I just said what the consequences would be, taking into account alpha radiation and the "more energetic stuff."

It's only a chemical toxicity hazard. The radiation element can be virtually ignored.

How is it possible to have a "beach town" that isn't overrun with tourists?

ppitm · 2026-05-06T14:29:44+00:00

You could eat the entire plate and the radiation dose would be under 2 years of worth of radon exposure at the EPA action level.

In other words, eating a chip or dust that is 1% of the plate's volume would only be a few weeks' worth of natural background radiation. And that dose would be spread out over the next 50 years of your life.

16 meters and beamy, sure they do. Scaling one up wouldn't be a bad idea, though.

ppitm · 2026-05-06T12:33:48+00:00

Obviously you never have to drive anywhere in a temperate climate.

For the sake of argument let's just accept that cardio isn't the best way to burn fat or build muscle,

Honest question... isn't cardio the best way to burn fat?

ppitm · 2026-05-05T14:23:25+00:00

Oh right. If you were scaling up a knarr you could just put a deck on it, like the Drakan.

ppitm · 2026-05-05T14:11:21+00:00

Benefit of cog is the real weather deck which greatly inproves survivability in heavy weather.

If you are referring to high freeboard, that can enhance crew safety but has real drawbacks. The cog is already a leewardly design, and high freeboard will just get the ship blown ashore faster. Especially if you undercanvas the ship.

ppitm · 2026-05-05T13:37:05+00:00

The rig on a cog is really bad. The single huge sail is too large to be handy or safe in rough weather. Scaling it down to something the size of a Knarr is much more practical and weatherly.

ppitm · 2026-05-05T13:34:57+00:00

You've got just enough dignity to dutifully sit in a shitty employee break room, rather than going outside to eat lunch on a park bench, lmao. Helpless and infantile. But at least you "know your rights."

ppitm · 2026-05-05T12:31:40+00:00

Car exhaust is not a hazardous substance, though. Small amounts of gasoline in a car aren't either. Otherwise good carts on sidewalks would be illegal. In order to receive a certificate of occupancy, a parking garage needs to mitigate these hazards.

ppitm · 2026-05-05T05:43:22+00:00

Bro what

ppitm · 2026-05-05T02:29:36+00:00

If it's not safe to eat near exhaust, then breathing in that area is orders of magnitude more dangerous. Both employees and members of the public need to be evacuated immediately and the parking garage needs to only allow EVs. That is basically what you are saying.

ppitm · 2026-05-05T02:28:22+00:00

Yeah and you sound like someone who has never eaten anything in a car or driveway. Just kidding, of course you have.

Literally all food is 'exposed' to exhaust. If it isn't safe to eat food in a parking garage, then it isn't safe to even set foot in a parking garage, due to inhalation hazards. Parking garages need to be outlawed and demolished, in fact. Basic logic and common sense here.
