that's at least four days before kidnapping of maduro

op what else did you knew

dune (1965) was written 26 years before desert storm (1991) and before iran-iraq war (1980) or iranian revolution (1979) or six day war (1967) or black september (1970) or yom kippur war (1973) but just after baathists took power in both syria and iraq (1963) and some time after coup in iran (1953), suez crisis (1956) and nasser taking power in egypt (1952)

wanna feel old? matrix was released 26 years ago. 27 in march

the hand in the background and especially cup makes no sense

some context for the bottom row https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/12/16/exiled-russian-accused-of-spying-on-opposition-including-navalny-movement https://novayagazeta.eu/articles/2025/11/04/russian-pro-democracy-activist-detained-in-poland-admits-to-working-for-fsb-en-news

tldr openrussia didn't learn that there's no such thing as former fsb agent, and now there are consequences

dude, people join irl face to face cults, of course they do

NEOM is the building the foundations for a new future - unconstrained by legacy city infrastructure, powered by renewable energy and prioritizing the conservation of nature. We are committed to developing the region to the highest standards of sustainability and livability.

lol, this is saudi, they found a way to make half of their water supply to riyadh nonrenewable

the talk about water content in soil was bad but the topic itself was interesting

things that fella got wrong: TDM moisture meter works by measuring what effectively is electrical length of waveguide formed by 2 electrodes and soil around it. more water = higher dielectric constant = longer delay for reflection, this only measures as deep as probe goes and the rest is fitted from model

neutron detector works just like geiger tube except gas has large cross-section for reaction with neutrons, that gives charged products that begin a spark which is counted. in train, steel doesn't interfere but diesel fuel will. the trick is that cosmic neutrons are counted separately from reflected neutrons, because cosmic neutrons are hot and reflected neutrons are thermal and how much of reflected ones is there depends on water content in the soil. helium does not run out. the more helium you have the faster counts go and you can move faster while measuring with decent precision. the lead shield in train is for getting rid of radiation from granite aggregate under rails, because it contains tiny amounts of uranium and gammas from decay chain would add to noise - lead does not interfere

fella didn't even introduce himself other than with link to github which might be not his strictly speaking

so far (in the order i'm watching) the worst offender https://media.ccc.de/v/39c3-a-quick-stop-at-the-hostileshop
