Had it play the Simpsons clip of Homer singing "My Baloney has a first name" for every error. Wasn't too funny when it kept going off during one of his staff meetings.

Wasn't too funny when it kept going off during one of his staff meetings. Someone did something like that on the box that ran the ceiling TV screens in the call center, only to find out it didn't produce any sound. Except...I'm sitting on the far end of the call center, and very faintly, I can hear the Bubble Bobble theme randomly start at odd intervals. It's like one of those things that beeps, and it stops before you can track down where it's coming from, and the period on it repeating is kind of random, so you can't trace it by ear? Like that, but a Bubble Bobble MIDI. The custodian and I eventually figured out that it was coming from the one wall-mounted TV, which was the only actual TV, as in the others on the ceiling were monitors and had no speakers built in. And the TV just barely had the volume turned up to an audible level. And the computer feeding it had some weird loving extension where whenever a certain part of the rotating dashboards would change to a certain value, it'd trigger the MIDI.

Corona-inflicted  time! Apparently it makes financial sense to pay me two month's salary to go away rather than to just let me ride the low business period out in the company so they have me handy in case work does come in. Time to start actively searching I guess.

Sadly, nothing outrageous happened. I'm leaving on good terms because I still haven't even landed an interview in Denver and I move in 3 weeks. I need his title on a recommendation. I'm trying to keep my avenues open but I'm getting a little nervous. I'm just spending my last few weeks here getting my documentation in order and making sure all the admin logins are consistent and licensing is up to date through the summer. The coordinated quitting didn't happen as planned, but I dropped my resignation around the same time as 4 other faculty, so the panic is very high regardless.

D. Ebdrup posted:Considering the half-life of the nuclear waste that humanity is currently leaving in the ground for future generations to discover as well as how little we remember/know of the time when we started creating civilizations about 12k years ago, future humanity is hosed. The entire monument is a gigantic waste of time. Bury it in a concrete lined cave, and leave a nice hot sample near the entrance. To anyone without a gieger counter, it's a boring rear end waste of time. To anyone with one, they'll find a very hot waste source that's very very obviously man-made, and de-rear end the area with great speed. Though now I want a 3d printed one to sit on top of my servers. With the last 4 lines printed into the base. With a page of COBOL code underneath it.

Concrete will be long-gone before nuclear waste stops being dangerous. They already had to rebuild the sarcophagus at Reactor #4.

To be fair, the original sarcophagus was built in a panicked hurry. They had to build the NSC because the concrete was being worn away by weather exposure.

India is going all in building thorium salt reactors over the next 10 years to solve their energy needs and move away from coal/traditional nuclear plants so a lot of that traditional waste might end up as slurry/fuel in those reactors.
