Here are some emergency vehicles used during the accident that I photographed outside of the Ukrainian National Chornobyl Museum in Kyiv. (2015)

I didn’t have time in my schedule then to go out to the site and regret not going. Next time…

I wonder how he keeps all those pivots lubed in the salt air?
does he have to keep a schedule of finding them along the coast and hitting them with the old oil can?

I came across my childhood vaccination booklet. You had to show these when traveling outside Canada/USA. I got my smallpox shot, so no one today has to worry about that one. Fuck you anti-vaxxers!

Looking at our current timeline in general and this, uh, disruptive idea specifically I can only conclude that aliens a real, want to conquer earth, and have activated the StupidRaysTM secretly installed on the Moon.
Their plan being that we will decimate ourselves drastically and lose all our abilities for logical thought and concertation of actions, making their ‘boots on the ground’ phase of the actual conquering much easier.
The bright side is that this may indicate that they are not interested in farming us for food. So we have that going for us, which is nice.

To the best of my knowledge, he doesn’t.
Basically, he builds some new beasts (or modifies existing ones) each year, always trying out new ideas. The main materials are cheap plastic pipes and zip-ties, no ball bearings to be greased.
The beasts are let loose on five days a year, each event is limited to 100 spectators. (So far I have always tried to sign up too late.)
