  • Uranium wasn’t used for watch dials, but Uranium Orange is a colour of cermic glaze. It was pretty popular in America from the 1930’s to around 1942, when the government needed all the uranium for some big secret project. After the 60’s it was made with depleted uranium, instead of natural ore, until someone realized this still wasn’t a great idea.








  • Let me throw you a little binary choice set:

    A1: HR are great, and I trust them.

    A2: HR are great, and I don’t trust them.

    B1: HR sucks, and I trust them.

    B2: HR sucks, and I don’t trust them.

    Obviously option A1 and A2 have the same outcome, while B1 has significantly worse outcomes than B2. What’s worse is that, by your own post, HR can go from A to B in an instant, because they’re following orders.

    Obviously it’s in my own best interest that I district all HR.











  • You can absolutely make a lipo battery “explode” by overheating it by drawing too much power. But it’s the kind of explosion where it spews hot gas and maybe catches on fire. You’ll definitely get hurt, but that’s about it.

    You can do MUCH worse by overcharging it. (note the size of that battery). There will eventually be a fireball if you overcharge it and keep overcharging it when it’s already swollen to a balloon. But you generally don’t charge stuff while it’s in your pocket.

    These were actual killing-people-explosions. Lipo batteries don’t do that.
