sshuttle, the poor man's VPN. It creates an SSH tunnel to a remote host, and routes all traffic to a specific address or subnet through it.

TMI had zero fatalities, minimal release of radiation, and no measurable effect on health. Residents of the area were exposed to less radiation from the accident than the yearly background dose.

Some layers of safety failed, but the rest did their job. That's why we call it an accident and not a disaster. The plant continued to operate for decades with no issues. The only reason it's so prevalent in the public consciousness is because of faulty reporting and irresponsible, ignorant people (like you) parroting the first thing they hear from sensationalist media.

Calling it "the worst nuclear disaster" is not just incorrect but stupid. Just off the top of my head, I can name a worse reactor accident and a worse non-reactor nuclear accident on US soil.

SL-1, a low-power reactor in Idaho, exploded because of poor design and human error. An operator retracted the manually operated control rod too far. The reactor went prompt critical, causing a steam explosion, destroying the reactor vessel and killing all three operators. To this day, SL-1 is the only fatal reactor accident on US soil.

Cecil Kelley, a worker at Los Alamos, was fatally irradiated when a plutonium reclaimer machine went critical. The machine contained an aqueous mixture of plutonium slag of a much higher concentration than it should have, causing an excursion when the stirring was turned on. He died two days later. His autopsy was performed by one Dr. Lushbaugh, who removed several organs for experiments without permission.

“Nuclear” sounds scary

Related, unfun fact: MRI used to be called NMRI, Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Imaging, because it used the nuclear magnetic resonance phenomenon (literally a nuclear vibe check), but people were so afraid of the word "nuclear" that it was dropped.

I know certain sentiments are coming, so I'll put this here: Three Mile Island wasn't the unmitigated disaster that fearmongers would have you believe. It was an ultimately harmless accident that was highly publicized because of poor communication and irresponsible sensationalist journalism.

It's on an island, yes. In a river, ten kilometres from a dense urban region.

intestines to drop into the scrotum

I was perfectly fine without the knowledge that that can happen.

Depends on the country. Where I live, the maximum permitted by law is 30 days (unless both the employer and the employee agree on a different termination period). That goes for both firing and quitting.

For example, drilling or enlarging a hole can be boring, but fixing two pieces of metal together is often riveting.

It's a poor imitation. A mockery of the name. A GUI addict's idea of a CLI tool.

Not entirely accurate, the person on the side track should be a pile of money, but I'm too lazy to change it now. Also, imagine, like, flames coming from the bottom-right corner.

I recently switched from wireless to wired headphones (Samson SR-850, probably the best for the very reasonable price) and my chair's wheels instantly started eating its cable. Right now I'm using a small plastic hook that came with a face mask to keep it off the floor, but I'd like to hear other solutions.

I think Starfield's main menu is neat. So I made it into a desktop widget. Files (including the stylized logo) here, wallpaper here.

I used the Chakra Petch font (AUR: ttf-chakra-petch) for the menu buttons, and Liberation Sans (with some editing in Inkscape) for the logo.

I'm not trying to attack him, but this is pretty funny.

Context: 11 days ago DT released a video where he called out the people who refer to Linux distributions as "Linux" as opposed to "GNU/Linux". Today he released a video where he did exactly that.
