My one good pair of jeans has been compromised and now everybody can see my entire business
But is fixed! Hand stitching denim seems like a dodgy proposition, but the curved mattress needle makes it super easy. If you’re wondering where to find one, it came from a sewing kit I bought at a Dollar General for like a buck 50.
So my fingers as well as my modesty have been preserved
Scientists have figured out how to use nuclear waste as an energy source, converting radioactive gas into artificial diamonds that could be used as batteries.
These diamonds, which are able to generate their own electrical current, could potentially provide a power source for thousands of years, due to the longstanding half-life of the radioactive substances they’re made from.
“There are no moving parts involved, no emissions generated, and no maintenance required, just direct electricity generation,” says geochemist Tom Scott from the University of Bristol in the UK.
“By encapsulating radioactive material inside diamonds, we turn a long-term problem of nuclear waste into a nuclear-powered battery and a long-term supply of clean energy.”
So basically science has given us a common staple of fantasy - crystals that have real tangible power. I will now assume all fantasy stories with power crystals and gems are post apocalyptic.
