All is forgiven.

I'm doing my part!

The Torment Nexus can't even put a loaf of bread on my table, so it's obvious we have nothing to fear from it!

I agree we don't have much to (physically) fear from it...yet. But the people who can't take "no" for an answer and don't get that it is fundamentally non-human, I can believe they are quite dangerous.

This Chinese study says it was dispersed through global atmospheric circulation and mentions the liquid and gaseous discharge from nuclear facilities at Sellafield (UK) and La Hague (France) as sources. Russian tests are mentioned as well but they are apparently not the sole or primary source.

Of course not!

Don't even talk to me if you aren't dressed up like kidnapped Maduro while you sleepmaxx.

100% agree on banning glue traps. Snap traps aren't perfect though. I had to finish off a mighty survivor of one once. The rat was huge. When I heard the rattling in the shed I panicked and grabbed a shovel lying nearby. My mind has erased the memory of what happened next, I just remember the aftermath and being splattered with lots of rat blood. I deeply regret doing that and wish I had let her limp away to an uncertain fate. I stopped setting traps after that and just let them run rampant through the moldy old walls of that place until I moved.

I had to choke back a little because the happiness of people like you existing was very strong. That is some extremely admirable kindness.

I fondly remember getting banned from some MUD around that time, for talking back to an admin. It was a formative experience.

Good practice for IRC, Discord, or HN.

Call centers that leave people on hold for a minimum of 10 minutes are positively Napoleonic.

A few longships full of berserkers ought to do the trick.
