    Ever seen the electric fly swatters?

    Like a teeny tiny tazer?

    They look like tennis rackets. It turns out that not only are they excellent for taking care of pests, they can send an electric current through a door knob.

    I have one of these, and frying wasps is one of the most satisfying things ever.

    Get off my food, fuckers, I'd like to enjoy my summer meals outdoors

    I dislike spiders and will squish them if they dare enter my holy domicile, but will generally leave them alone outside

    Unless they're huge enough to make me go "gat dayum" because then I squish them because I don't want them to breed

    that's enough plutonium for a bomb. It's 11cm (about 4 inches) across.

    o: well that's neat. i thought you needed a whole bunch of plutonium to make a sizable nuke. learning++.

    Couple pages back but finding nuclear metals isn't all that hard. Uranium is everywhere for example. The hard part is refining it to the point of being fissionable.

    Hornets are assholes.

    I caught one with a wineglass and a piece of paper (against the wall) to take a good look at it.

    Went out of the patio and placed the glass upside down with a string attached to it.

    Unrolled it some 15 meters and tugged.

    2 seconds go by and i hear a faint, vicious buzzing getting louder and louder.

    Motherfucker comes round the corner, pissed as all hell and homes in on me. I see this.

    I am scared.

    By the grace of reflexes granted by sheer terror, i manage to duck and the fucker smacks into the wall with a satisfying *Thud*.

    iirc, u-238 is the most prevalent isotope of uranium in nature. Hit that with a neutron and you get Pu-239, which is common in nuclear reactors.

    Hey, fun fact;

    Wyoming, in addition to being the number one supplier of both trona and coal in the USA and second overall in the states for natural gas production, is one of the nations top suppliers of uranium! :D

    And our mining operations only tie into our geoligical radness. We got all sorts of mountains and awesome rocky plateaus and Yellowstone and such. Wyoming is, in fact, rad-awesome.
