  • Uranium wasn’t used for watch dials, but Uranium Orange is a colour of cermic glaze. It was pretty popular in America from the 1930’s to around 1942, when the government needed all the uranium for some big secret project. After the 60’s it was made with depleted uranium, instead of natural ore, until someone realized this still wasn’t a great idea.












  • When I was a dumb kid, me and other dumb kids found some paving tiles and decided to break them by throwing them in the air. Unfortunately, I was really bad at aiming, caught it on my head and caused permanent spinal damage.

    The doctor recommended strength training, because my muscles would overtaxed by compensating for my wonky spine, which I promptly ignored because, again, I was a dumb kid and girls don’t lift weights. So from age 10 to 19 ish I basically had debilitating neck pains every few months which had me stuck in bed on painkillers and muscle relaxants.

    After 9 years of being an idiot, I started listening to the doctors, lifted weights, and basically never had a sore neck again. The main downside is that clothes shopping is hard now.





  • Let me throw you a little binary choice set:

    A1: HR are great, and I trust them.

    A2: HR are great, and I don’t trust them.

    B1: HR sucks, and I trust them.

    B2: HR sucks, and I don’t trust them.

    Obviously option A1 and A2 have the same outcome, while B1 has significantly worse outcomes than B2. What’s worse is that, by your own post, HR can go from A to B in an instant, because they’re following orders.

    Obviously it’s in my own best interest that I district all HR.
