It’s about 30% of a square foot per chicken or 43 square inches if every bit of space was used without stacking. The point being there’s so many goddamn chickens in that place they would have had to be on top of each other or it’s one of those chicken houses without cages where it’s basically just a big chicken mosh pit.

Stuff like this is pushing me closer and closer to going fully plant-based. I've reduced meat intake by about 50% but that last 50 is very tough. I really do want to do better for the animals and the planet though. | [

Not radioactive, but I read about an incident where someone didn’t set the latches on a rocket pod properly, and between the pad and the target range (training exercise for helicopter gunship crews) 3 rockets went AWOL. Army did a “hands across America” sweep looking for them. Of the 3 rockets lost, >!6 were found. From serial numbers, it was determined that all 3 of the rockets lost on that mission were recovered. Probably didn’t go very well for the other people (traceable to mission by the serial numbers) who lost rockets but didn’t report them.!< | [

Gasparilla Pirate Festival
The Gasparilla Pirate Festival (often simply referred to as "Gasparilla") is a large parade and a host of related community events held in Tampa, Florida almost every year since 1904. The centerpiece of the festivities is the Parade of Pirates (often referred to as the Gasparilla Parade), which is a friendly invasion by the mythical pirate José Gaspar (also known as Gasparilla), who is a popular figure in Florida folklore despite the fact that he did not exist. The parade is organized by Ye Mystic Krewe of Gasparilla (YMKG), a local organization modeled after the "krewes" of Mardi Gras in New Orleans who play the parts of Gaspar and his crew.

"Regulatory capture" is a fancy way of nudging away the inherent undemocratic outcome of capitalism.
And if the media is for profit it can never be independent, sadly. And even under capitalism state media obeys national interests, which are in the hands of private individuals.
And funded orgs like NGOs rarely have independent interests as they obey whoever does the funding and unless it's the people it's some rich guy getting a tax break or a think tank or partisan state funding, and even bipartisan funding is subject to the national interests of capitalists. | [

Independent media does exist, it’s just niche to the point of irrelevancy as the media that serves capitalism has the resources to drown it out.
Charities and NGOs wouldn’t need to exist in socialism as they are external agents with the aim to pay the social and environmental cost failed to be met by agents within the system, because the regulations set are inadequate. I am all for regulation to the point of unprofitablility because if it’s that socially or environmentally destructive compared to the value of the outcome, humanity shouldn’t be doing it. | [

The idea that the plutonium is having an appreciable impact on ice melting seems pretty suspect. The 4 pounds of plutonium that were lost only produced around 900W of thermal energy which seems pretty small compared to the amount of sunlight hitting the mountain (~1000 W/sq m) or the effects of global warming (higher altitudes experience greater rates of warming).
I think the much bigger concern is contamination of the Ganges river, which is fed by runoff from the mountain and provides water to over 400 million people.
edit: corrected solar energy amount | [

Folks get some bizarre ideas about these things. Sure, if the plutonium caught on fire it could melt some ice, but that stuff just isn't that hot. I wouldn't even be worried about it poisoning the water. | [

i use the same source almost daily in my line of work. Ceasium-137 is gamma ray source we use for density determination in the formation in oil and gas wells.
The source capsule is small, but during transportation it is screwed in a ~30x30x30 cm lead container (this things weighs 80kgs), with a lock on it, and then that lead container is also placed in a bigger ~100x100x100 cm transportation box which has 2 locks on it.
So the question is, how the hell did it fall off the truck transporting it? | [

Rio seems to be handling this PR disaster nicely, they seem to have taken ownership of the problem including reimbursement of costs.
"But certainly, I do want to state Rio Tinto have been exceptional in terms of how they have reached out to us and offered all levels of support, so I'm very grateful for that offer from Simon Trott." (Dawson)
"I would be happy to reimburse the cost of the search, of course that ultimately is a matter for the state government," he (Trott) said.

I don't know about this specific tool. But there's a tool called Nuclear Densometer that uses radiation to measure the density of materials.
Usual material test include taking a sample of this material to test in a lab but sometimes you can't do any damage to this material so a nuclear Densometer does the same test in-situ with no damage.
Funny thing those Nuclear Densometers are stolen like 3 times a year where I live but they always appear after a week sold somewhere. | [
