/sci/ - Science & Math

I've chosen my ocean ally.

I've gone diving with sharks plenty of times but I wouldn't exactly consider them bros.

Dolphins aren't really good for interacting. They'll check you out then run off.

Octopuses are bros, at least to me.

The ideal, for me at least, is a human with all the variously useful traits that other life on Earth has. A few technological upgrades of purely human technological origin for good measure, but mostly biological.

Turn man into a creature that's truly dangerous without technology.

Listen to the lecture, it's hysterical and kinda awesome.

So, I just returned from a rapture party. The Rationalists of East Tennessee had an informal one at a local beer garden. We hung out, laughed, drank beer, and played cornhole (if you know what the game is, you love it).

I post about this not because there was clearly no apocalypse but because I learned something about one of our members. He's a guy in his mid-late 60's, really spry, southern-accented, and has worked at Oak Ridge national lab since the 60's. It turns out, this guy is a nuclear engineer and was the youngest PhD attached to the original MOTHERFUCKING ARE (Aircraft Reactor Experiment) and MSR (Molten Salt Reactor). Another Oak Ridge old-timer and physical chemist backed it up, as he started at the lab in the 70's on a different set of experiments.

MOTHER OF GOD, the guy knew his shit and started raving about thorium reactors. He said he refuses to retire anyway and it's his life's dream to finish what he started in the 60's.

Just thought /sci/ would have opinions on that.
