Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Reviews should all contain brand-unfriendly language
2·3 months agoAlas, language doesn’t work that way. Consider: newspapers used to refrain from printing swears literally. They’d write something like “——” or “[expletive]”, or they’d paraphrase. But then politicians got a lot more foul-mouthed, and newspapers had to start printing more swears just to report what the politicians said.

World News@lemmy.world•What Is Going on with All This Radioactive Shrimp?English
26·6 months agoOfficials from Indonesia’s nuclear energy regulatory agency have traced the source of contamination to a steel manufacturer in the Cikande industrial area known as Peter Metal Technology, or PMT. Some of the highest levels of contamination detected in the area were reportedly found in the company’s furnace, which is about 1.5 miles southwest of the BMS Foods facility where the shrimp was processed.
Investigators think that radioactive dust was released into the environment after PMT inadvertently smelted scrap metal containing cesium-137. “Because it’s airborne, the contamination can be carried by wind,” said Bara Khrishna Hasibuan, a senior adviser to Indonesia’s Ministry of Food Affairs, at a Sept. 30 press conference.
Scrap metal was commonly used as a raw material by PMT, according to the Indonesian outlet Antara News. It’s unclear how it may have become contaminated with cesium-137. Biegalski, whose area of expertise includes nuclear forensics, told CR that the “easiest explanation” is that a medical or industrial device containing cesium-137 was inadvertently reprocessed as scrap metal. The radioactive material could have become gaseous after entering the PMT furnace and then been released from the facility’s smokestack, he said.

politics @lemmy.world•Democrats try a new tone: Less scripted, more cursing, Trumpier insults
25·9 months agoGood idea: make accusations in plain language. “Trump is corrupt and steals taxpayer money.” “Republican policies hurt Americans with jobs.” “Voting for assholes gets you shat on.”
Bad idea: make shit up. “Trump eats babies.” “Republicans summon Satan in their basements.” “Vote for me and I’ll cure your cancer tomorrow.”


That new mix tape was the bomb. Or did it bomb? I’m confused.
