Reply to ‘Cow Dung Protects From Atomic Radiation’, Says Local Court While Sentencing Youth to Life by chacko96

Pretty much anything can stop alpha radiation. Beta radiation needs a bit more, but again it doesn't take much. So hypothetically, a typical cow patty could block some forms of nuclear radiation.

Gamma radiation, depending on the energy can penetrate lead and concrete. So unless you're talking about multiple cubic meter sized cow patties they aren't going to be blocking gamma radiation.

However, based on what this miserable idiot of judge has said I doubt he has any idea what he's actually talking about.

Reply to Deputies don't know how rat poison got into customer's Taco Bell order by XXmynameisNeganXX

I guarantee the “victim” did it to himself. The prior dispute, the lack of franchise video evidence, the lengthy delay between bringing the food home and eating it, the prompt vomiting inconsistent with ingestion of modern rat poisons but perfectly consistent with traditional misconceptions about rat poison’s immediate effects, the “victim” refusing to cooperate with police…

Search the guy’s basement and you’ll find an open box of rat poison identical to what was found in the food.

Reply to comment by Combat_Medic in The Fyre Festival fraudster is launching his latest thing, and it looks like a party on an island. by shakycam3

it wasn't influencers, those were bought (mostly victoria secret models). it was the wannabe influencers and hedge fund kids.

tickets started at $1200, and you still had to travel there. not for the super rich, and quite cheap for what was promised, yet still not exactly every day joe's territory either.
