You plan to build a reusable spacecraft twice as big as the current ones. It's not stupid if it works... but in this case it was so very very stupid, immeasurably stupid indeed.

You fail to find the cactus. You watch in horror as the Probe Brains rise up...and flip themselves over.

You start referring to radiation as "Spicy Air." Your craft becomes rigwelted.
<raptop>
I feel like there's a context where "rigwelted" makes sense, though don't know what it is
<Deddly>
Sheep, apparently
<raptop>
Also, amusingly, the vacuum of space is spicier than the vast majority of air in most places
<Pinkbeast>
A friend of ours from Cornwall got radiation put in his thyroid for imaging, and obviously, very careful, don't sit near him for a month etc but the dose was less than he'd get going home for a year
<Deddly>
That's nuts. I had never even heard of radon until I moved to Sweden
<Mat2ch>
Deddly: if the houses are "airy" enough radon is not a concern...
<Pinkbeast>
Mmm. It used to be much more dangerous before it was well understood because with the wrong cellar design it would concentrate
<Deddly>
Pinkbeast, do you have ventilation over the windows like we do in Sweden?
<Pinkbeast>
Deddly: I've never lived in Cornwall
<Pinkbeast>
I live in East Anglia - on one of the dry spots in the fens, but even so, if I had a cellar it might well be below sea level and also full of water not radon
<Eddi|zuHause>
there are ways to waterproof cellars.
<Eddi|zuHause>
otherwise places like berlin couldn't exist.
<Pinkbeast>
That is true, but here, having a cellar isn't where you'd start
<Deddly>
Why not just enjoy having a private underground swimming pool?
<Deddly>
I didn't realise East Anglia was so low
<Pinkbeast>
Much of it was pumped out by Dutch contractors in the 18th century or so
<Pinkbeast>
Ely cathedral is where it is because it's the only spot you _could_ put a cathedral
<sandbox>
I've been to the fens
<Deddly>
So, basically, when the sea level rises, you'll be off to Cornwall
<Pinkbeast>
No, because we've got a bunch of infrastructure for pumping it out
<Pinkbeast>
Also I do live in one of the dry-ish bits :-)
<Deddly>
Or you could just use your current house as a wet cellar and build up to live in a modern version of Venice.
<Pinkbeast>
(leastways, I don't think we're more fucked than the rest of the world)
<Pinkbeast>
A minor downside is that the space where I would build the next floor is occupied by the flat above me

Hey, let me out of this. I'm just saying what the rat with the knife tells me to!

a few years ago my cat caught and killed a rat

he caught a squirrel once too, but he didn't kill it
<Deddly>
Aaaw
<sandbox>
he was much smaller then
<Deddly>
Too many treats
<Deddly>
We had a cat that would catch Squirrels and eat the entire body, leaving just the tail.
<Deddly>
I wasn't at all happy about that. I like squirrels :(
<Mat2ch>
at my last workplace there was an orange cat the owner adopted a few years before. In spring he liked to hunt for baby rabbits, eating the head first...
<Deddly>
...
<Mat2ch>
sometimes he just left the other half behind the building. For later consumption. But there was a storage as well, where I had to go to sometimes. So yeah, was not nice to see
<Deddly>
Well, I guess that's better than starting at the tail like otters do with fish they catch.

Mimi caught a pigeon when she was north of 15, which, well done Mimi, you crazy arthritic cat. But also still got the half-pigeon
