Why would anyone who actually needs social interaction become a computer janitor. Completely counterintuitive

it's what you do if you have a degree in pure mathematics but discover there aren't actually many positions that don't pay like absolute poo poo. also, like I said, large projects are very collaborative

mathematicians do math because they're geeks who think it's cool and want to share, which helps other math geeks make cool things

selfish antisocial weirdos like Grigori Perelman push the edges of Math forward but kill community momentum, and we don't get a lot of genius collaborators like Paul Erdos (couchsurfed his whole life slamming amphetamines and jamming with interesting mathematicians)

jobs like data science are dirty but they let you combine your math with interesting people's real world projects, so the work gets out there

There are problems that can be resolved in chat, and problems that can be resolved with a zoom screen share. All other problems are for the escalation tech, who is contacted via chat.

Uh, no, a bomb full of radioactive material combined with a substantial enough payload would be absolutely devastating to any environment, potentially for generations. The US fear mongering about it is deeply ironic given our propensity for depleted Uranium bunker busters leaving toxic waste buried below the surface of the earth forever.

No, dirty bombs are bullshit. Depleted uranium underground is a problem because it's in one place for a long time. The radioactive material attached to a dirty bomb would be spread around and pulverized by the explosion. Back in the Bush days there was a study done to prove how dangerous dirty bombs were, and to prove it they had to assume that everyone in the vicinity of the bomb would never leave the vicinity or shower and also that it would never rain. If it did rain or people came in with hoses to hose down the area, and the people who had been near the blast showered, the effects of the radioactive material would be too small to measure.

My man, they used that study to argue that dirty bombs were bad. I know you're like 40 don't you remember the Bush administration? Don't you remember the dirty bomb fear mongering?

that's like saying a pipebomb with nails in it is a super ultra omega pipe bomb though. Like, yea, putting extra poo poo in a bomb is always bad, that's how bombs work. You don't need anything more than access to the materials, though, and there's zero way to stop a state or group from having access to 'radioactive material' as a concept.

I have a Culver's up the street and it's ok, but there is always a line at the window and you have to wait a bit for your food so I've only gone a couple times. It's a hamburger and tastes like pretty much every other hamburger.
