  • It's just a fad and the novelty is wearing off. How long did NFTs stay popular?

  • It gave me nightmares for about a year. Time to read again I think.

  • No the purpose of the white pant was to help keep the external tank cool to reduce fuel boil off. The foam insulation was incredibly rough, not something a thin layer of paint could smooth over.

  • Oh hell yes ヾ(⌐■_■)ノ♪

  • ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

  • Guh...

  • You can also tell a claystone from a siltstone by rubbing it against your teeth! If it rubs smoothly without friction then it's a claystone. If it feels abrasive then it's a siltstone.

  • Like, necessary to just have one or necessary to post and interact with others? I'm fine with using it as a static page to basic info about myself but I will never engage with or create content for it.

  • Popcorn ceilings haven't been made with asbestos since around 1982ish, in the US at least. They were still popular through the mid aughts so hopefully not asbestos.

  • Never at Rest by Richard Westfall is a comprehensive biography of Isaac Newton. Near the end when he works at the mint it gets pretty boring but otherwise great.

    The Making of the Atom Bomb by Richard Rhodes is a fairly definitive treatment of how the US atomic bomb came about. It covers an incredible amount of background info of both the science and history that lead to it.

    The Doomsday Machine: Confessions of a Nuclear War Planner by Daniel Ellsburg is a terrifying look into the wild west of nuclear weapons in the couple decades after their advent. Ellsburg is famously the person who leaked the Pentagon Papers and he had a front row seat to the insanity that was the early* Cold War. It's a miracle we survived.
