Last November, the allotments at the bottom of my hill flooded for the first time since I arrived 4 years ago, this year it's arrived in October.

Last year it wasn't until March until they were walkable. I wonder how long it will be this year.

It got to about 4ft last time and seemingly poisoned the land as no-ones crops grew this year. Interestingly plums and pears did pretty well.

If you really want that passive poison effect, you need to get fiestaware: bright orange/yellow ceramics where the concentration of uranium is way higher and it's used as the glaze!

It's known to leech into acidic foods, such as tomato sauces with pasta.

I also feel like we can also add antique top hats to this; I recently found out that my grandfather's childhood top hat, which I used to play with all the time growing up, contains mercury nitrate

Out of curiosity, have you come up with a reason why it tasted so tree like?

What colour did the mead end up being?

Wow, thank you for the very thorough write-up!

I was wondering how you'd get it past the point where it's just equal pressure to the other cannister; I assume that's the reason for freezing the one being refilled, and I'm guessing the cannister that's being refilled needs to be a smaller than the one that it's refilling from?

How do you refill the screw mount canisters from the other sort?

Are you meaning because people are excited about "fusion" being a possible future energy source, whereas when they here "nuclear" their minds immediately go to weapons and fission accidents and pollution?

My friend has so far fried 4 or 5 steamdecks, ROG Ally and two power banks before he took my advice to buy a type c cable tester and to stop using any charger that didn't come with the device until he could test them.

Turned out it was a damaged cable, I think it was a CC line was no longer working.

I've had a couple of cheaper Chinese type c and usb A multi port chargers fail; I manage to fry like 3 sex toys before I realised the type A ports were outputting 12v, and at some point something went wrong and the type c fried my phone (which I guess is on me for continuing to use the charger after the issue with the type A ports)

Researching this doesn't prevent renewables being researched or rolled out? I think the nuclear scientists developing this might be better researching this as opposed to researching fission reactors or researching renewables as this is likely their area of expertise.

Fusion is a long shot but if it was achieved it would be world changing (hopefully for the better)

Alcohol is generally well tolerated in reasonable quantities, the common ink cap mushroom is edible, but if eaten alongside alcohol it becomes poisonous

Personally this has been the most feature rich/open source one I could find, and it's what I ended up going for, there's an opensource app store, direct integration with gadgetbridge, a decent always on display much like the amazfit bip S, which also means a long battery life.

Recently it's been Obtanium, basically it allows you to add apps which are hosted on GitHub/other app sources which don't have auto updating, and have them automatically check and offer to update!

It's been really useful for Lemmy clients (liftoff/Jerboa)/any android apps from:
