BEHAVIOR TO BE EMULATED

Nineteen-fucking-Twelve for god's sake!
^^A1^^

If you are going to do something, do it well. 
^^A2^^

All those people who hate their jobs but do them cheerfully anyway.

^^A3^^

Don't lament your shortcomings; celebrate your positives.

 ^^A4^^


Those dance lessons finally paid off.
^^A5^^

^^A6^^


How about you just stop wearing underwear altogether? Now I don't know about women and their discharges, but I am a testament that there are no repercussions for men.
^^A7^^


That's a lot of masturbating even for a pro like that.
^^A8^^


They either have no idea what they are doing or they know exactly what they are doing.
^^A9^^

Her: Have you seen my penguin tattoo?

BEHAVIOR THAT SHOULD BE AVOIDED

Well, the government found a way to profit from school massacres. It took them long enough.

Found someone else who lied on their resume.

^^B2^^

Said the fattest President since William Howard Taft.
^^B3^^

And it has three exclamation points!

Well, here's what I call it...

^^B5^^


If you only watch one animal gif today, let it be this one.

 Some people like to play a very dangerous game with wildlife.

Then this guy keeps sitting on his porch when FOUR bears wander up.
^^B6^^

This sums up our society nowadays.

^^B8^^

I am fortunate enough to be creative. I loved to figure out how to solve problems around the house.
^^B9^^

I can just imagine one of those nosy neighbors ratting me out to Google for showing nipples on my blog.
^^B10^^

And even more, sadly it happened on her wedding day.
^^B11^^

THINGS I DIDN'T KNOW YESTERDAY

Weird shit the US did after the dawn of the nuclear age.

Project Orion -- A secret propulsion program headed by legendary scientist Freeman Dyson to attempt to use controlled nuclear detonations to propel space rockets.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_Orion_(nuclear_propulsion)
As I understand it, a version of that is what blew up in Russia recently.
<>  
The W54 "backpack nukes" -- Manually carried nuclear bombs briefly issued to the Navy SEALS, Marines and Special Forces.
https://specialoperations.com/28857/sof-backpack-nukes/
<>

Project Plowshare -- A study into the potential use of Peaceful Nuclear Explosions (PNE's) for construction and fracking purposes.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_Plowshare 
<>

Atomic Veterans -- Military units that were used as guinea pigs to study the effect of nuclear fallout on human subjects. Obviously many fell ill and died but were also sworn to secrecy as to truth of their ailments until it was declassified in 1996.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atomic_veteran 
<>

 Flyig live pilots through the Ivy Mike shot -- The Air Force ordered two manned aircraft to fly through the mushroom cloud of a hydrogen bomb detonated at Enewetak Atoll. One ran out of fuel due the radiation shorting out their navigation systems but managed a crash landing, the other went missing (presumed dead).

 I just heard a politician say we have no way to effectively store green energy.  Posting this here for general awareness.

As you can see from the diagram, a pumped-storage hydroelectric facility takes the excess power produced by things like solar panels and wind during the day and uses it to pump water to a higher elevation.  Then, during the night when there's no sun and generally little wind, it uses the water to run a turbine creating power.

^^C2^^

Giant Dart vs Bulletproof Glass

Well, technically it worked.
^^C3^^
