Read that as United Atlantic Vultures and did a double-take. Not so far off though.

Lead exposure from shooting ranges has been studied and contributes to aggressive behaviors.
I’d call that a rattlin’ bog
Is there a link to the study being referenced? I couldn’t find any citations. Ocean acidification is worth talking about, but this article is sensational as heck. Constant use of dire language (“safe limit … exceeded”, “crucial threshold … breached”, “safe boundaries … crossed”, “sustainable levels … exceeded”, “close to the danger limit”) with no values explained or interpreted for the reader and only vague references to imminent catastrophe.
Maybe it’s talking about this new NOAA dashboard, it’s hard to tell, but I think this was a much better read:

Wow, name super checks out
😟
It’s not as uncommon as you might expect – here is a list for the curious. And I don’t mean to denegrate nuclear energy as a power source; it is vastly better than fossil fuels and safe when done correctly – I have participated in the safe generation of nuclear power. But the ramifications of it being done incorrectly are severe to say the least, and everyone should be aware that we do commonly have issues with it, especially in aging facilities. We commonly extend plants decades beyond what their initial construction planned for.
Edited to say I just realized you said meltdowns, not radioactive leaks, which I do agree with. Sorry for confusion
This isn’t true – radioactive gases were leaked into the surrounding area. The containment vessel remained intact, and NRC concluded that no measurable harm was done, but there was definitely a release and that’s why it was such a big deal. They evacuated children and pregnant women from the area in response.
Did you just turn Success Kid into an angry/upset reaction? Rude!
I was known to yank a power chord or two back in college…
I don’t exhale, rather I just close off my airway to stop the big inhale. It sounds super uncomfortable to try exhaling at that point, but with some practice I have been able to stop the inhale and that mutes the sneeze considerably. Also, I can plug my nose when I feel it start to tickle and stop the sneeze entirely.
The italics are a nice hint. Good Poe’s Law submission.
I’ll save anyone else a click, even Etsy doesn’t have anything even close to a tampon costume for a penis. That link does, however, somehow have a The "Rings of Saturn" Butthole
in the search results, so… yeah.
I love that as of this writing, there are only two downvotes in this entire war.
I got that advice as well – the explanation given to me was that it’s almost always used incorrectly, so just be safe and don’t. However, I like the way it makes writing more closely resemble natural speech; we usually talk in conjoined clauses rather than complete sentences.
I’ve been trying to get the semicolon to take off; haven’t had much luck though.
I don’t have experience with it personally, only heard about it from a possibility perspective – apparently prosecutors do a very thorough job screening jurors to make sure that never happens. Just knowing about jury nullification can get you dismissed. I don’t think you’re off the mark with that read, but where I think it comes back from kangaroo court and sov cit land is all jurors have to agree, even one objection to a nullification would stop it; if twelve strangers all agree, there’s probably some merit to it. But, certainly can be abused in the wrong hands.
Right, that’s my point – jury nullification is the mechanism by which juries find that a crime was committed by the letter of the law but the defendent is not guilty.
But following the surface of a sphere causes you to constantly change direction
This is exactly what jury nullification is for
