Other than the literal orc tech that was the RBMK, nuclear reactors are designed with failsafes for exactly that situation. If it melts down the molten nuclear fuel wont go into the air like chernobyl it will drop into an underground holding tank.
Indians calling themselves "asian" always felt like stolen valor.
I recently ordered a new MacBook Pro just because Windows is so bad I couldn't take it anymore. Mac OS is UNIX based so it basically is Linux but closed source and way more stable/user friendly so thats what I ultimately went with.
You can thank the Brits for that. Asians in the UK usually refer to the people from Indian subcontinent, whereas almost everywhere else view Asians as Chinese/Japanese/Koreans.
We used to call them Orientals to distinguish between types of Asian, but someone at the top decided that wasn't very PC, so now we don't really have a word for them other than "east Asian" or the specific nationality or slurs. We still say stuff like "oriental supermarket" for a shop run by Chinese, Japanese, Koreans, Malaysians etc that sells nice Asian food, but for some reason(?) we don't call the people that any more.
It's not just the Indians. Indians are called "Asians" in demographic maps and surveys, and I think that Bri'ish government calls them "Asians" also (along with Pakistanis).
India was influenced by British rule, but they weren't that influenced by British culture. The only brits in colonial India were guys that needed to be there like soldiers, administrators, and businessmen and they only really work with a few jeets directly. Meanwhile Hong Kong was a home away from home. If things aren't working out in the UK and want to go somewhere exotic, Hong Kong was the place to go set up shop. As a result you got more brits mingling with the locals and their culture rubbed off on them.
BBC Asian Network radio and TV says it's about "celebrating British Asian culture" but it's just jeet stuff (and Pakistani and Bangladeshi). Ironically, "BBC" also stands for "British-born Chinese" who you'd think would be a big audience for British Asian stuff, but they're about as sick of the BBC as the rest of us are.
Need to bring back that scam in India.
Speaking of which, an Indian startup is about to launch their first rocket.
Not content with littering the Earth, they feel the need to litter our low orbit too.
Why are they posing in front of an oversized M-13 rocket?
How much do you wanna bet this rocket will blow up on the launch pad? Bonus points if it's revealed that "their first rocket" is actually just a copy of some old Soviet design?
out me down for it launches, but it will fly off course and crashes into a building.
Nah, they bought some Chinese shit off TEMU like all their other inventions. Remember the robot at their AI summit?
Aight, I've got you down for 5,000₽ on "Oversized Katyusha". I'll bet 10,000₽ on "Launchpad Explosion".
I don't actually, do tell!
