A gaping hole was left on a small island in the Pacific Ocean when the United States military released an 18-kiloton nuclear blast in 1958, known as the ‘Cactus’ test.

After the blast took place on the Marshall Island’s Runit Island, the military filled it in with contaminated soil and debris, creating a ‘tomb’ of nuclear waste known now as the Runit Dome.

The 115-meter (377 feet)-wide dome, built between 1977 and 1980 as part of military cleanup efforts, rests above more than 120,000 tons of material that were contaminated by US nuclear testing across Enewetak Atoll, including lethal quantities of plutonium.

The dome was intended as a temporary solution to contain material left behind by the nuclear tests, some of which exceeded the magnitude of Hiroshima and Nagasaki 1,000 times over.

Sounds like it’s time for a more long-term response

It’s probably been even longer since I used mine, which is a shame because it is fun; I just don’t have a good space for the more active games right now, or even Walkabout Mini Golf

I guess they weren’t even working on those games anymore:

However, while Red Storm is best known for its association with Tom Clancy games, for the past decade, it’s been focused on VR games, such as Werewolves Within (2016), Star Trek: Bridge Crew (2017), and Assassin’s Creed Nexus VR (2023).

Modern stewardship of Tom Clancy titles has been handled by Massive Entertainment (The Division), Ubisoft Montreal (Rainbow Six Siege), Ubisoft Paris (Ghost Recon Wildlands), and Ubisoft Toronto (Splinter Cell remake).

I think a friend from middle school worked there; not sure if he’s still there, though

It seems significantly better now. A lot of topics, I just go straight to Wikipedia now.

Reading the article, Horizon Worlds is not shutting down, just the VR access. Apparently they’ve moved it to apps you access on iPhone and Android. I see the appeal even less; that seems like Second Life mobile.

I mean, it took almost 13 years and the product itself was discontinued six years ago

Google started bringing fiber to neighboring towns and all of a sudden the cable company started offering speeds 3x faster for less money and AT&T built out a fiber network including in our town, which didn’t get Google for another ten years, and then only a franchise that was paying for the Google name.

I remember seeing a stunningly beautiful woman at the grocery store, and I looked in my cart and saw lactose-free milk, lactose-free probiotic yogurt, and ultra-soothing toilet paper. I’m sure she was impressed.

Where else would it go? The veins are blue!

You really think someone would do that, just go on the internet and tell lies?

So this is the strategy of putting 4 houses on your properties in Monopoly and never upgrading them to hotels because that way there are no houses for your opponents to buy

Iceberg or wave for me, thanks

So in Germany one often has to move out of Harms’s way?

I looked up Lineage and see it’s also an Android variant. What’s the Pentecostal logo?

I think several on your chart don’t believe in the Trinity? Pretty sure LDS, JW, and at least some Pentecostal? I think they all self-identify as Christian, though, but some Unitarians might not? Is that the difference?

I think I only ever needed a white shirt and tie. My younger brother was in band but when they performed with the string orchestra to give more of a symphony I think they actually did have some sort of suit, maybe tuxedo-like. That was all arranged by the school at the very start, of course.
