Nukes are mined from Washington’s grave, and the only reason Russia and other nations also have them is because he once wandered a bit too far into Siberia and froze his toes off on a trip that was just meant to explore the northwestern reaches of the new continent. He leaped to the Diomede islands and his toes dipped into the water, he walked into Russia with wet shoes.

under their generation child sexual abuse cases have dropped significantly

If this is true, that’s really impressive. I’ve heard how insanely widespread all kinds of abuse used to be through history, often even openly. But if the culture shift was really as sharp as this seems to suggest, I’d be worried it could go almost just as fast back in the other direction.

Would you say home photography was widespread in the 40s? 50s? 60s? 70s?

I think home photography was still pretty new 30-40 years ago, might be why some families were weirdly oversharing with baby photos? Idk.

It also stores a lot of heat in the walls of the tent, which will keep the air inside from cooling down too much over the course of the night.

How do SSDs and HDDs compare to optical disks in terms of stability in storage? SSD bits can lose charge over time until a lot of 1s read as 0s, right?

Yes, and it’s very frustrating. People don’t realize how difficult the life of a produce farmer is. There’s a reason we tie all the produce into the ground. Potatoes used to be a fucking nightmare before we started doing it the new way, burying them in dirt.

Do you have any idea how high a potato jumps if given the chance?
