I am nuclear materials engineer, we make things out of uranium, and sometimes thorium. We have a bunch of cats. It seems like I spend most of my time fixing things.

I tried to make a stupid joke, the photo is of a 60's era AM radio. This particular one is very similar to the one from Gilligan's Island.

nobody cares what I think, especially since there is no future where owning a Ferrari is anywhere near a reality- but the 849 Testarossa has to be the ugliest Ferrari ever. It's a high bar I know, still makes it better looking than most vehicles, but for a super car 😝
