Since this is the OSHA thread, I would think more goons would be willing to donate their bodies to advancing wood chipper technology, or at least making some high quality safety videos.

That much is known, at least a fair bit of it. This man tried to troubleshoot a particle accelerator when all the safeties failed and he took the full beam straight to his face. He completed his PhD afterwards, just got mentally exhausted faster than he used to (along with a half-paralyzed face and hearing loss in one ear).

I'm not sure I see the problem here.

Injure yourself in a way no human ever has been, and live/die, but otherwise further the knowledge of humankind? I mean, that's what a PhD is all about, right? :v:

Plus if some die that's an extra gently caress you to student loan companies.

Another article I found says that if the resultant liquid is too alkaline, the corpse-dissolver technician just adds vinegar or citric acid to get it close or to neutral, before it's disposed of or recycled. You can spray grandma right on your rose bushes once she's neutralized.

I learned today that either the USSR didn’t really go for project codenames, or Wikipedia does not include them in their articles:

quote:

The Soviet atomic bomb project (Russian: Советский проект атомной бомбы, Sovetskiy proyekt atomnoy bomby)

I am fairly sure that if I stumbled across the name of this project in papers recovered by espionage, I would figure out what the project intended to accomplish.

Back in WW2 everybody used a multi-beam radio system to guide their planes. The Nazis started a project to develop a one beam system and used the code word "Wotan" for the system. Aka Odin, the name of the one-eyed Norse god. It took Bletchley Park like all of five minutes to figure out what it meant.

And having figured out what it must be, they figured out how it would have to work in order to do that, and had their jammer all set up and ready to go by the time the germans switched it on.

And 50-70 years later forgot it with “Operation Desert Storm”, “Operation Iraqi Freedom”, and “Operation Enduring Freedom”. (Though the cynic in me argues that these names actually did have nothing to do with their factual outcomes. :v:)

The British committed the same blunder on their side of the Battle of the Beams, but it was of no consequence because Nazi intelligence was Scheiße.

The first-generation Nazi radio guidance tech was referred to as “Headache”.

Its counter? Aspirin.
