Does the world get another kickass nature preserve out of this? We might be on to something with this whole exclusion zone thing where nature gets to recover. Maybe we should make a few thousand more of them around the world. I hear there's a guy to call about this. 1-800-FOR-SS18

Holy poo poo, something went seriously wrong there.

What exactly is the unit of measure on that detector? It looks like it’s reading mkP/4, unless it’s some Cyrillic abbreviation.

Wouldn't it be something like "mkC" in Cyrillic, then?

E: it would be "mk3b" for microsieverts, but mkP is almost certainly microroentgen:

NPR was going over the Rod Blagoya-whatever thing on the way home. Turns out his wife was on Fox multiple times saying, word for word, how unfairly he was treated and how he's the real victim for just doing some light treason corruption.

The leader of the country is an oatmeal brained dotard and a propaganda channel dictates his actions to him because he's outsourced his loss of mental faculties to the television.

We already saw this work with the sailor who was caught photographing equipment on a nuclear submarine and claimed he wanted to show them to his infant daughter. It’s a good strategy.

You're over thinking it. He saw someone on Fox. That's it. There's no strategy, no secondary effects he's going for, no future planning. He saw a thing on Fox. Done. He has become completely swiss-cheese brained and his hours of watching Fox every day dictate his actions to him.

If any other country had the rate of shooting the US does, combined with the concentration camps and mounting sectarian / political violence, the State Department would have travel advisories out.

When’s the last time there was a mass shooting in a developed country? New Zealand and Norway before that? The guy at the Canadian parliament?

The US being much more religious than those countries, you’d expect their Thoughts and Prayers to be that much more effective.

:allears:

https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2...ry-gun-society/


quote:

“Heeding to the possibility that shooting incidents could happen anywhere in the U.S., which is a gun society, please continue to stay alert as a precautionary measure,” the Consulate General of Japan in Detroit said in a statement on Sunday.

The Uruguay Ministry of Foreign Relations advised their citizens living in or traveling to the U.S. to exercise caution against “growing indiscriminate violence, for the most part hate crimes” that “have cost more than 250 lives in the first seven months of this year.” It also warned its citizens to “avoid areas with large concentrations of people like theme parks, shopping centers, art festivals, religious events, food festivals and any kind of cultural or sporting gathering.”

Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro issued a tweet on Monday urging his country’s citizens to stay alert or consider postponing travel to the U.S.

Amnesty International issued a travel warning and issued a statement Wednesday, urging tourists to “exercise extreme caution when traveling throughout the country due to rampant gun violence,” adding that the issue has become “so prevalent in the United States that it amounts to a human rights crisis.”

“Travelers to the United States should remain cautious that the country does not adequately protect people’s right to be safe, regardless of who they might be. People in the United States cannot reasonably expect to be free from harm — a guarantee of not being shot is impossible,” said Ernest Coverson, campaign manager for the End Gun Violence Campaign at Amnesty International USA.
