Re: Random Thought Thread

I love living in Southern California!

Granted it's been a little hot lately, I'm not going to complain cause I used to live in Vegas and that was hotter
 
Re: Random Thought Thread

It's raining here, too. OMGZZ armageddon!
 
Re: Random Thought Thread

not raining here yet. but it does look like shit outside.
 
Re: Random Thought Thread

lmao at the smiley. didnt know that one existed.

Particle collider no threat, safety panel says

A giant particle accelerator near Geneva, Switzerland, that is set to begin operations next week poses no threat to mankind, according to the latest report from the group in charge of safety at the facility.

The Large Hadron Collider, which is run by the European Organization for Nuclear Research, lies in a 27-kilometre-long underground circuit beneath the French-Swiss border and is set to begin low-energy operations on Sept. 10.

It has attracted worldwide attention, in part because it has been a costly project, with a total budget of $9 billion. But it has also raised fears among the general populace about the potential dangers of such a large experiment.

Those fears are unfounded, wrote the safety assessment group for the LHC in a study published Friday. The safety group said its latest review should dispel fears of universe-gobbling black holes or anti-matter destroying the Earth.

If particle collisions like the ones created at the LHC had the power to destroy the Earth, such interactions would have wiped out the planet long ago, the group wrote Friday in the Journal of Physics G: Nuclear and Particle Physics.

"Nature has already conducted the equivalent of about a hundred thousand LHC experimental programmes on Earth – and the planet still exists," they wrote.

It's the second such study by the safety assessment group. The first study, published in 2003, came to similar conclusions.

The collider will use a ring of super-cooled magnets to push two proton beams to speeds and energies never before reached under controlled conditions, crashing the protons into one another to create and detect a host of new particles.

It is expected to be the most powerful tool yet for physicists hoping to uncover the secrets behind the laws of the universe, both on the tiny scale of quantum mechanics and the huge domain of galaxies and black holes.

Physicists from universities across Canada will be involved in the LHC's operations through the ATLAS experiment, one of two main experiments studying the results of proton-on-proton collisions.

add that to the list and call it Jacoby_Ellsbury ;]
 
Re: Random Thought Thread

let me finish the first 500 smilies before I add any more

Re: Random Thought Thread

There were people who claimed that setting off the first atom bomb would suck up all the oxygen from the atmosphere and kill everything on earth.

I'm not scared of this collider being harmful. It'd suck living in the towns nearby when they turn it on - all the lights in everyone's houses go out for about a minute at a time - those things suck up all the electricity from the grid and then some.
 
Re: Random Thought Thread

I'm not scared either. The chances of this thing actually creating a harmful black hole is 1/50,000,000 so meh.
 
Re: Random Thought Thread

I am hungover as FUCK right now. Owwie....

Oh, and that Thoth post was pretty funny. I'll reply to that
 
Re: Random Thought Thread

Hungover update: I just almsost shit my pants. Close call. Stay tuned.

Someone edit his post, poop content is unacceptable on this site.

That was such a terrible post. His reply to me was I seem cranky and need a nap so do I want a woobie? Wtf is a woobie? Attack the post not the poster, right? Besides, isn't the the guy who left the site because someone called him gay?

A continual target on him and Dale's back? WTF?
 
Re: Random Thought Thread

And the thread is locked. What's with the excessive locking of the threads lately? Lame.

Seriously now KC. I think we can all agree that nothing was going to come from that thread, apart from more utterly terrible banter.
