do yous know about Seversk? it's a "closed city" in Siberia, and the site of a pretty major nuclear accident in '92, Tomsk-7

The French were dumping nuclear waste there until 2010, when the crap storage conditions caused a public outcry. Well, turns out they've started again... how crap are the storage conditions?

take a look at these thousands and thousands of barrels just sitting out exposed to the Siberian elements, swinging between averages of -20 degrees in January to +25 in July

Something mysterious has been happening to some clocks on the European continent. From Portugal to Poland, from Denmark to Turkey, some clocks have been running slow. And it’s all because of a row between Serbia and Kosovo. A thread. Normal wall clocks and watches keep time with a quartz crystal, cut into the shape of a tiny tuning fork, which vibrates at a constant frequency when electricity passes through it. (it's super cool and you should read about it en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quartz_cl…)
