Say what you want about the policy of disposing of the waste products of energy generation in the atmosphere, but no one is likely to forget about it.

Blue Footed Booby posted:Is this a joke, or are you saying this was genuinely the purpose? Handwringing about nuclear waste and how it is dangerous for tens of thousands of years has been a convenient excuse to bog down waste processing and thus indirectly building of new power plants, at least. As far as I understand it, you can have "kills you if you get close" and "half life of millennia" but not both - so digging a deep hole somewhere decently stable and backfilling it afterwards is extremely unlikely to be a problem.

Nitrox posted:Why don't you attach it then? Due to an unrelated drainpipe from the upstairs bathrooms leaking that whole half of my kitchen is currently awaiting demolition. That one I can't really blame on Gary because no one had any way of knowing that was brewing until my cabinets started leaking one day. Also there is no wood left where the washer would normally secure because Gary half assed it so much it kind of destroyed all of the woodwork around the washer. Part of the counter is just bare tile attached to hopes and dreams.

Don't you just adjust the legs until the dishwasher sits up against whatever is above it? Actually screwing it in is just a bonus.

Dunno-Lars posted:Don't you just adjust the legs until the dishwasher sits up against whatever is above it? Actually screwing it in is just a bonus. Most dishwashers will ship with a set of brackets that could be mounted on either top or sides. If drilling into the countertop is not an option, you could also buy a bracket that bridges the gap between cabinets. Freestanding dishwashers exist, but this clearly isn't it.

Typically the upper edge is secured to the underside of the counter because opening the door unbalances it forward. You don't want the unit moving around.

Coal plant burnt ash emissions are cool cause in addition to the Carbon and Sulfur they also emit more radiation than (shielded) nuclear waste or living next to a nuke plant!

That entire screed was just the mood setting for "what are we trying to communicate here"; the actual suggestions they got in return are much weirder. I always thought this was interesting in a "how do we talk to aliens" sort of way, but it's also useless in any practical sense. There's no way that a warning sign in a dozen languages isn't going to be understandable to someone. Even in some distant Mad Max dystopian future they'll probably still have legends of the bombs that killed everyone and destroyed everything and have at least one historian or scientist that can read something or recognize a radiation symbol. What dye were they planning on using that will outlast every written language on Earth for the dyed concrete? My favorite suggestion is "just bury it and don't put up any warning so nobody will actively look for it!" Maybe that'll be useful in a very specific circumstance 10,000 years from now, but it's going to be a big problem in about 50 years when the land gets sold off and someone drills a well into a nuclear waste site. Yes, I know Mad Max was originally after a non nuclear war.

kid sinister posted:From the interior design thread: I can't even lump this in as a McMansion of any sort even if it contains all of the elements. McMansions happen when what peope peeceive as architectural markers of wealth are placed thoughtlessly. I think the architect behind this thing had an actual reason for every detail. It really looks like maybe it is meant to convey the notion of modern homes being built from elements of the past, and literally ON the world of the past. Let's put it this way: if I found the architect behind the Luxury Homes being build on nearby farmland, I'd want to kick him or her down a flight of stairs. THIS architect I'd buy a drink and talk to.

That’s where they get you, your only winning interaction with an architect is to tell them “here let me show you an architects-only feature in this build site” before kicking them facefirst into an open elevator shaft.

Put all of the nuclear waste somewhere conspicuous in an unnatural formation. This way the future cavemen can associate its weird shape with the painful balding death plague and develop a helpful myth to not go to the oddly shaped place lest you also cough blood and die.
