My Three Major Goals for the Summer:
insertreferencehere: Immerse myself in literature, both reading and writing it. Learn to play the guitar. Get in the best shape of my life. I want to will be ripped. I do not want to will not be fucking Holocaust mode skinny anymore. I will be back in marathon shape. I will be better than marathon shape. Can we do that last one together? I need a training partner!

Marking nuclear waste dumps with creativity →
andrewkays: Weapons-grade plutonium has a half-life of 24,110 years..meaning any amount will take a really, really long time to disappear. A common way to deal with it is to bury it far from places where it can be found or irradiate anybody.  This post covers some of the more esoteric methods of marking that land, with the goal of still making the danger clear to whoever is still around in...
