IIRC, it’s also one of the best ways to test for forged paintings, because paint after WW2 is affected by the same minute traces of background radiation that the real deal painted a few hundred years ago wouldn’t have.

World News@lemmy.world•JD Vance arrives in Hungary to back Orbán's re-election bidEnglish
4·2 days agoI feel like this really is a mini-test for America right now. Orban has been trying his best to rig the election in his favour despite is very obvious unpopularity. He’s behind in polling; and would be even further behind without his fuckery in the background.
So one of two things will happen on April 12th, either the result will be so overwhelming that if he tries to claim it was rigged, it would be an obviously bullshit claim. Or he’ll somehow sneak in with the victory despite being behind the entire time (sound familiar).
Can Hungary overcome his fuckery is a direct mirror to the American midterms. Will Trump accept the results, or refuse to leave. And if it’s the second, will Hungarian people rise up?

News@lemmy.world•Trump threats cause dilemma for US officers: disobey orders or commit war crimesEnglish
11·3 days agoEveryone with a functioning brain-cell knows that Trump is going to throw kegsbreath under the bus to save himself, and I for one can’t wait to see his smug slick backed face hung for war crimes.
And if you look really close on the right hand side, you can just make out the disturbed ground surrounding the entrance to the underground Chinese base.
Because their penises don’t work anymore and no one ever actually loved them enough to want to touch it without being paid up-front in the first place.

World News@lemmy.world•Trump warns a 'whole civilization will die tonight' if a deal with Iran isn't reachedEnglish
103·3 days agoTrump is an idiot. The rest of his people vary from incompetent to simply evil.
I’d bet my life that the nuclear briefcase that Trump masturbates to every night is a fake. Someone in his circle has long since clipped the red wire to prevent him doing just that during a midnight Truth Social post.

World News@lemmy.world•European allies are losing hope of keeping America in NATOEnglish
171·4 days agoDon’t let the doorknob hit their ass on the way out.
Worst case scenario is Russia tries to take advantage of the situation and gets curb stomped by a NATO that is roughly 30% weaker but still more than powerful enough to handle the paper tiger that Russia has proven itself to be.
Trump is dead within a year, guaranteed. The GOP will fall to infighting after the cult of personality ends, and when the next president wants to clean up his mess and rejoin NATO, they can be allowed back in without the bullshit VETO that they for some reason have. They can return as an equal, not as a boss.

World News@lemmy.world•Rocket lifts off with four Artemis II astronauts on a mission to the moon and backEnglish
2·7 days agoIts the entire reason they did a full orbit before firing the lunar injection burn, so that if something was wrong they could jettison the service module and perform a deorbit burn for an early splashdown in the pacific.

Dullsters@dullsters.net•This was all I could manage for dinner this eveningEnglish
4·10 days agoLiving on my own, the older I get, the less I have any interest in proper meals. More often than not, I’ll do small snackish meals spread out over the day; a bowl of meat and cheese, or a plate of veggies, or some cottage cheese and yogurt. Stuff like that.
I can’t be the only one for whom traditional meals (protein, side, veggies, three times a day) have gone by the wayside.
ETA: Forgot to mention, that bowl looks incredibly delicious, OP.
