Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to read it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

I had to look it up, because I wasn't 100% sure, but apparently the Dink Dinks are parodying A Bridge on the River Kwai. I'm not super familiar with the history, just a bit of a Spaceballs fan.

Americans of course don't recognize the convention so it becomes that thing of calling all of their rubbers condoms, even though by definition they're not.

You will find out in a week, I guess. Might be best to avoid any old wells in the meantime.

It can, but not enough to physically hurt you. But:
It's not the kind of radiation that causes cancer. I'm going to really simplify things here, but when we think about radiation in this context, there's 2 kinds - ionizing and non-ionizing. Anything that's got a longer wavelength than UV light is non-ionizing. This is pretty much all of the stuff we find useful for everyday tech: cell phones, wifi, microwaves, and all that jazz.
Ionizing is the stuff that can hurt us, like UV, X-rays, and Gamma rays. We still have all kinds of useful tech that relies on that stuff, but aside from UVA blacklights, you won't often find it in your home.
Quick edit: microwaves and non ionizing radiation can still hurt you. Microwaves excite water molecules and can cause burns to tissues under your skin. Best to try to avoid exposure.

I left Colorado about a year ago. Is the hike still so crowded that it kinda feels artificial?

Reply to comment by BigPickleKAM in [Image] The finish line don't have an expiration date by ReadilyDiverge30
I started and dropped out to join the army. Didn't start again til I was 26. I got my Bachelor's at 31 after a couple false starts, masters at 33. I'm 35 now and jumping back in to get my doctorate. The key to success is finding both motivation and discipline. My first time, I was motivated to go, but I also wanted the social experience and couldn't find a balance. After I finished the army, I had plenty of discipline but had to learn to be motivated because I was much older than my classmates and didn't have a real social connection. Then I got to grad school and was a lot closer to average age.
At the end of the day, though, nobody needs that stuff unless you are a nerd like me. Just figure out how you want to live your life and make that happen.
