whoa i stumbled across the swords latest album and was really taken aback, confused and amazed

thought it was some other band named the sword, but no its them. they changed direction a bit. last for a couple songs and then starts blending with the sword i already knew. it reminds me of white denim or ratatat. its like the took whatever good stuff you good from current indie rock and evolved it into thier sound

dumb, leaving any message is dumb.
just seal it and bury it unmarked

perhaps add toxic but not lethal debris around it that isn't known to leach, but i dunno if that's feasible- but any sort of message will lead to people digging it up

i learnt a little bit more about electricity than the almost nothing i already knew, thanks pictures thread

like here's teh australian (and NZ?) outlet and plug:


and i guess it's too late to turn around our outlets to put ground at the top because we're all too used to having the switches where they are, and in that orientation. i noticed when i was in america that you do'nt generally have switches on the outlets. but it also explains to me why 95% of the (australian) plugs i've seen in my life have shielding on all but the tip of the main prongs. i presumed it was for safety somehow but never considered that coin scenario.

also! i had to buy a plug this week and learnt that we have different 15A plugs. our regular wiring and plugs presume 10A and if you're wiring an outlet and device for 15A and want to do it by the book you have to use these bad boys with thicker ground plugs, to avoid confusion:


also! for years i've just thought we were 240v but apparently we've been nominally 230v for decades and even then it varies from state to state with different upper and lower limits


also! unrelated:

yeah that was the eventual decision of the research team that thought it up: if we put up markers someone's going to think "hmm they just don't want me to get this sickkk treasure" and go gently caress with it.


so bury it under a mountain or something half a mile down in an already radioactive wasteland from nuclear bomb tests in the desert and people will probably never be able to find it until they've developed the sort of technology level where they know about radiation again

while i think all the conceptual discussion about messaging and semiotics for the waste repository is v. cool, an equally good strategy might be to add some sort of extremely dangerous and long-lived poison to the burial site that would cause people who dig it up to rapidly sicken and die, unfortunately killing a few people but sending an indisputable message about the dangers of the site. i wonder if such a thing is possible.

another fun fact: the Australia/NZ plug design is actually a rejected design from the US (from 1915 or so) originally intended to carry 120 volt AC, which was manufactured in small amounts in the early 20th century as both 2 prong ungrounded and 3 pin grounded configurations.

the australians picked it up in the 1930s as a replacement for the old-style british plugs with 3 large round pins, on the basis that the rejected american design was cheaper to manufacture with equipment in australia because of the flat pins.

probably isn't anything you could make like that that would stay viable long enough term for the planned purpose of "in 5000 years after we die in a nuclear war with the soviets, someone might come by"

better to just make things look very normal up top and bury the bad poo poo way far down so that it's as hard as possible to find it.

that is a fun fact. i wonder if it was just rejected as in they preferred the straight design or rejected as in it had a fundamental design flaw that has been killing us for decades.

i always have more confidence when i plug in an ausplug that it's not going to come out, though. although that's probably more to do with implementation than design. some other countries' plugs and outlets i've used seem loose and flimsy in comparison, but maybe that's because i'm using old, worn-out outlets in hotel rooms.

oh, my, god. Becky, look at her bitrate.
the worst part about the US plug is that when it's polarized it's not immediately clear which side is which
the worst part about the EU plug is that it's not the same throughout europe
the worst part about the UK plug is that loving brittiots won't stop talking about how good it is at every opportunity, it's the vaping of plugs

The problem is, most chemical weapons have degradation half-lives of hours or days*, although admittedly this might be improved by dispersal over a nice dry desert, so we'd need to turn to nuclear/biological weapons. Nuclear isn't much better, since that's what we're trying to protect people from, and dispersing anthrax spores is probably a non-starter. Really, just not telling anybody that there's something interesting there is probably the best option.

* Mustard gas disposal in anoxic waters notwithstanding.

this is still a def possibility. took these photos to assist the firemen when they scrape out my blackened corpse.

had to switch to some flat plugs to fit my washing machine and dryer. why the gently caress the outlet was put right there i have no idea


i followed these instructions but there was probably something on the other side about "get an electrician to do it, you fucken dickhead"

That's fairly simple; if we just use enough nuclear power, thereby generating enough waste, we can make the burial site radioactive enough to kill inside a few hours and discourage exploration.

This is a solved problem BTW. Current (sane) plans make the nuclear waste basically impossible to dig up anyway and then you plant a forest on top of it just to be sure (and make it look nice).

it's super cool that we are using and considering an increase in the use of a method of generating power that forces us to consider how best to not irradiate and poison future post-collapse civilizations

here's a nutty thought: stop making the waste and you won't have to worry about how best to keep the black rock clan from getting thyroid cancer en masse
