Friendly reminder that the people of Japan collectively cut their own power so that there was more electricity for emergency services after the Earthquake in 2011 in an event they dubbed ‘Operation Yashima’ the same name of the operation in Evangelion in which Japan’s power was cut in order to power a Positron-Rifle.

time-sponges:

You sit at the restaurant with your young son, he says he is hungry. You agree to get him dinner. You open up to the kids menu, your child is far to young for adult food. Chicken nugger stares at you from the page. You don’t understand. Your palms get sweaty and your son complains. He says he is hungry. Your mind strains, searching for an answer in a world of sweer potato and french fried. You try to order the chicken nugger, but you cannot. The words cannot escape your lips. Your son is hungry, he complains. The waitress stares at you, her head a spinning chicken nugger, her arms swinging french fried. Your son cries the tears of a chicken nugger-less child. In your mind you scream. It is raining sweer potato now, you have french fried engraved on your left temple and you do not understand. Your son weeps in the corner, he is starving. Starving for the chicken nugger.

Living Wall

These vegetated surfaces don’t just look pretty. They have other benefits as well, including cooling city blocks, reducing loud noises, and improving a building’s energy efficiency.What’s more, a recent modeling study shows that green walls can potentially reduce large amounts of air pollution in what’s called a “street canyon,” or the corridor between tall buildings.

For the study, Thomas Pugh, a biogeochemist at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology in Germany, and his colleagues created a computer model of a green wall with generic vegetation in a Western European city. Then they recorded chemical reactions based on a variety of factors, such as wind speed and building placement.

The simulation revealed a clear pattern: A green wall in a street canyon trapped or absorbed large amounts of nitrogen dioxide and particulate matter—both pollutants harmful to people, said Pugh. Compared with reducing emissions from cars, little attention has been focused on how to trap or take up more of the pollutants, added Pugh, whose study was published last year in the journal Environmental Science & Technology.

That’s why the green-wall study is “putting forward an alternative solution that might allow [governments] to improve air quality in these problem hot spots,” he said.Compared with reducing emissions from cars, little attention has been focused on how to trap or take up more of the pollutants, added Pugh, whose study was published last year in the journal Environmental Science & Technology.

Fissure fracture

Forked fracture

porrim-some-sugar-on-me:

ecstatic-eridan:

I had this theory for horns quite some time ago. Trolls will shave down their horns either with rough edges (like a table corner or a door frame) or with a metal filer. But since hornplay is a thing, they’d have to do it in private. Now if a troll failed to maintain their horns properly, they’ll chip, break and essentially crack. They’re called “fractures” and there are two types; fissure (left) and forked (right). The only way to repair fractures is to bandage them tightly so the open fracture is closed. It will mend itself. If a fracture occurs, it’s highly recommended to drink milk and eat things with a lot of potassium and calcium.
They also cause splitting migraines and the calmest of trolls to turn hostile.

becausetheinternet:

A 2500 year old mummy that had some amazing tattoos.

This mummy, found in the Altai mountains of Siberia, is actually that of a young woman who died at about the age of twenty-five; she is thought to have been a member of the Pazyryk tribe.

She was buried with six horses and two similarly-tattooed men (the horned griffon that decorates her shoulder also appears on the man buried closest to her, covering most of his right side), possibly escorts. She was also wearing a horse-hair wig, silk, and elaborate boots, which is all a level of ceremony that would have likely only been accorded to a woman of high rank. You didn’t get inked like this unless you were very important, and had worked your way up to that importance.

…Hence, of course, the references to her by researchers as ‘The Ukok Princess,’ although due to the lack of weapons in her grave they have concluded that the woman was in fact a healer or a storyteller.

And now I’m all consumed with curiosity: Who was she? What amazing things did she accomplish? Why these symbols, and what did they mean? Who were the two men alongside her?

The most informative article about it can be found here, although I would completely eat up any other information you guys could find.

An instrumental mashup? That’s right. Here’s this cool juxtaposition of the “Science is Fun” track from Portal 2 with the end credits theme from Tron Legacy. Could this get any nerdier?
