Bold of you to think that they care what you think.

Ratings can only be given over the phone. The phone line is open on Tuesday from 10:30 to 11:00. Expect to wait on hold for 45 minutes, and then we'll repeat to you exactly what our website already says before hanging up.

If someone can smell you outside and not know that the smell came from you, then you are wearing 100x too much perfume. It should not be possible to smell you just by passing you on the sidewalk.

Wouldn't you want the beta in your hand so that your body mass proximity is lower? (and avoiding proximity to your "T storage")

I think it is true that gamma rays can go right through you without hitting you. Not sure what the absorption rate is, but considering 5cm of concrete only absorbs half of a given gamma radiation source, it's likely pretty low.

This paper seems to imply that the half-value of human flesh is around 10cm under 10MeV, but up to 40cm at 100MeV:

So I guess the gamma radiation from a gamma emitter in your stomach would be around 25-75% absorbed, depending on your diameter and the emitter. Not great, but still not 100% absorbed like the other sources, at least.

Yes, but a country's gdp is a lot more diversified than nvidias, and company bond holders have a lot more power than treasury bond holders. The party goes on for now, but there is no way these companies will keep being allowed to borrow money, and it will be clawed back due to how unprofitable these businesses are.

All of these companies except Nvidia have massive debts, and it will lead to them going bankrupt. OpenAI's models are worthless and they will go bankrupt. Oracle's hardware will become worthless and they will go bankrupt. Nvidia's hardware will become worthless, but they have paid for all of their fab capacity in advance, so they will just lose a shitton of money and become the modern day Cisco.

They do it for any sort of roleplay, there was one going around about "I'm a fish and I see a hook in front of me".

Also valuing others' contributions and trusting others' judgements enough to allow yourself to delegate.

But yeah, teambuilding can be more important than quality in many situations.

I think some old double insulated devices have power supply issues that meant that the ground/plug-shell would be energized at half mains voltage. You wouldn't notice since the rest of the TV was wood/plastic, not metal, but if you touched the metal on the back you would get shocked.

Slavery was legal in Saint Barthélemy, though. It is a huge stain on the history of the Swedish Empire.
