Reply to You can't dig half a hole by Leafsong-Warriors

And that is why there is no answer to the age old riddle: If a man and a half can dig a hole and a half in a day in a half, why can’t a chicken kick a wart off a pickle?

Reply to TIL the SL-1 was the only reactor accident in U.S. history which resulted in immediate fatalities, killing 3 military operators in 1961, pinning one of them to the ceiling. by rigorousthinker

I toured the Idaho National Lab site many years ago. The remains of the sl1 reactor are buried not far from highway 20. There are several nuclear sites out there in a big expanse of fairly pristine desert, I saw a few of them. They don’t let civilians tour the Test Area North, or at least they didn’t back then.
