    Chernobyl forests not decaying properly, scary legacy of the meltdown

    Nuclear power can be a loyal servant, but a terrifying master. Imagine if that undergrowth caught fire, the resultant radioactive smoke would contaminate most of Europe. Bob

    I’m pretty sure the dinosaurs died out when they stopped gathering food and started having meetings to discuss gathering food

    A bookshop is one of the only pieces of evidence we have that people are still thinking

    You know what's ironic about this? It was a Soviet era nuclear power plant, run under the soviet system and an accident caused because of that same system. It is in the Ukraine with an an uninhabitable exclusion zone caused by the Soviets. Now Russia, the masters of the Soviet system, want to invade, occupy and steal more land and enslave Ukrainians.

    You won't find me on: faceplant; Scipe; Infragam; LumpedIn; ShapCnat or Twitting. I'm just not that interesting.
