I can fix the comms tower issue, but if I fix it then I'm the only one authorized to work on it from here on out, and it'll cost you $1 million every time I'm on-site for the biannual maintenance

A discussion about shielding astronauts from the radiation normally found in space:

ex post facho posted:

Is there an absorptive radiation capacity for water? At what point would the water no longer be effective as shielding?

orange juche posted:

Not really. It does become spicy, but the energy emitted by beta decay from the activated water would be attenuated quite easily by the rest of the water in the jacket and or the containment for the water. It will definitely become spicy enough that you can't use it for anything else but radiation shielding, but its spiciness will not meaningfully impact its capability to absorb radiation.

You really would not want to drink your radiation shielding water.

Tighclops posted:

is it possible to make a space-brita filter to take out the radiation

You'd need a better Brita to boot a bit of beta.

This is one of my favorite crappy kid martial art movies there are. Plus, it's got Chuck Norris, man.

I first watched it when I was a preteen, probably. I may have even seen it in theaters - I really don't remember. But now that it's being played on Starz over and over, I keep watching it...and I keep liking it more and more. I can relate more because I'm involved in the whole Martial Arts crowd (..There are a lot of instructors just like Joe Piscopo's character) and the movie makes fun of itself. Lots of over the top stuff in the dream sequences, but the movie knows they're over the top (Barry pulling out a LAW from his coat, camera looks at Chuck Norris who gives a "wtf" look), and that's what makes it so good.

I have to dock a point for having a Shotokan guy lose to Chuck Norris, though. How unrealistic!

Trying to find a quote that I'm reasonably certain originated on SA ages ago, but search isn't turning up anything.

It's something along the lines of a guy being angry about seeing a pride parade because it reminds him of a time in his youth when he spent a blissful moment with another man, but has since settled down, and knows he will never feel the sort of freedom the people in the parade feel.

Sound familiar to anyone?

Because the Republican party is full of rich dudes named "Fred" and whenever anybody mentions 'gay rights' the Freds think back to that spring afternoon in the Choate locker room when the freshman with the floppy hair and the blue eyes slipped a hand under the Freds' towel and gave the Freds a little smirk and said "just relax" and for just one minute everything was glorious and after that the Freds went on to jobs they hated and wives, ditto, and after twenty years they saw in the paper where the blue-eyed freshman was an ACLU attorney dying of AIDS who became free in all the ways the Freds couldn't and nothing, nothing, nothing pisses the Freds off like reminding them of that beautiful spring day at Choate.
