What, you think many of us own more than a million dollars in net worth?

Yes! You can wirelessly connect it to a PC and use it like the Index.

I was especially surprised by the catacombs! I only tried a few, but they were all very unique and far more interesting than in the base game.

What, did Ben Shapiro marry her?

I think that’s called “balls”

If she were a Debian kitty she wouldn’t start. That hardware is maybe 1-1½ years old, the LTS kernel doesn’t support it yet.

Yes, there are indeed many objects in our daily lives with colors that stone-age people would have never seen in their whole lives. I can’t even comprehend how this could be a difficult concept for you.

There are literally millions of graves without elaborate symbols or ornamentation, but with valuables. What the fuck?

And we’re talking about signs created by a previous, far more advanced civilization which are made from materials and colors the people we talk about could have never imagined. HOW MUCH MORE ELABORATE AND ORNATE CAN YOU GET?!

[…] the inherent connection between the skull and crossbones and death

YES, WHICH IS CONNECTED TO GRAVES, AND THUS VALUABLES

Which part of this sentence is too complex for you?

We wouldn’t stop strip mining by switching to hydrogen, but we would increase our reliance on fossil fuels.

Why aren’t the Linux devs just using SMB to forward the mouse and keyboard files? Are they stupid?

“i’Ve ReSeArChEd ThIs, trust me bro”

I haven’t researched this, scientists have.

oh yeah, and I suppose that means you’ve encountered a culture that doesn’t understand the meaning of the skull and crossbones, since you’re sooo confident they would think it means treasure?

I don’t think it’s possible for me to communicate with you. You’re literally too dense to understand that other people don’t have the same cultural background and could interpret symbols differently.

Dude, when humans die, they decompose, leaving behind a skull and bones.

Yep. And what happens with those remains? They get buried, often with valuables - treasure! This must be a grave, let’s dig it up!

Whoops, your “universal sign of danger” just attracts people.

It’s highly arrogant and insulting for you to think any other culture wouldn’t be capable of drawing that connection.

Oh, how lucky are we to have you in our midst, who - without any research or evidence - just happened to know much better than people who have researched this.

You do understand that a modern or post-modern society will have their own tools to detect radiation? We don’t need to optimize for them, we need to optimize for those people who haven’t developed that far.

A skull and crossbones is a pretty universal symbol of death.

Oh yeah? Have you seen any research demonstrating that people unfamiliar with that iconography associate it universally with death? Or are you assuming they would, since you’ve seen it associated with death your whole life due to pirate media etc?

Your solution is barely above “why don’t they just write NUCLEAR STUFF, DANGER?”

Some mythology that speaks of ancient ancestors who created magical rocks that can melt your flesh off at a distance so that they could turn the daylight on inside isn’t likely to deter anyone but the most gullible and least inquisitive.

Yeah, not like millions of people have been following such rules for thousands of years. Much better to use iconography they probably won’t know or understand.

It also assumes that such a made-up religion would survive longer than any extant languages and scientific knowledge, which is absurd.

We LITERALLY have religions that survived their languages & scientific knowledge dying off, and most of our modern religious ideas are simply remixes of previous ones. You couldn’t be more wrong if you tried.

Did you cross often at the end of 2024? If not, how can you know the new kinds of controls are done routinely?

I think you’re still talking about the previous controls.

Then I guess I just don’t understand your point. Obviously they’d assume a “middle age or prior” society when coming up with solutions to “how can we make sure a middle ages or prior society understands the danger of nuclear material”.

Hm? All those things existed long before the middle ages. They even existed in prehistory.

The border patrols this article is talking about only started end of 2024.
