Good to know

yads , in TIL that according to an FBI report, Elvis Presley believed the Beatles had led young people astray “by their filthy unkempt appearances and suggestive music”

It’s interesting how boundaries get pushed in arts and culture. My wife and I were driving and Me So Horny by 2 Live Crew came on. We had a good laugh about how absolutely outrageous and controversial that song was when it came out. Now it might be just another song.

I call bullshit on the last "fact" in the article, "In Switzerland, it is illegal to mow a front lawn while dressed as Elvis".

It's also really weird. Elvis was around to see The Who, Led Zeppelin, The Rolling Stones, AC/DC, Jimi Hendrix, Queen, and technically Sex Pistols too although that was towards the end of his life.

Point is, he should have known about much "worse" musicians and music than The Beatles.

He met the Beatles once (on their request), and John Lennon insulted him twice at this occasion. It looks like he started to badmouth them afterwards whenever he was with powerful people (and he also complained about other musicians then).

julesiecoolsie , in TIL in 1969, concert promoter Bill Graham was asked to help organize the Woodstock Festival. He agreed under one condition: that Santana would be included in the lineup. After Bill persisted, Santa...

Gregg Rolie being added to the lineup is just pivotal. One of the unsung heroes of 20th century music, did ao many things in his career.

Mr_Blott , in TIL The percentage of Neanderthal DNA in modern humans is zero or close to zero in people from African populations, and is about 1 to 2 percent in people of European or Asian background.

Makes sense, that’s about the population of Belgium

Yea, what’s the deal with Australia anyway? It’s an island, anyone can see that.

MAYNARD: He must have died while carving it.

LANCELOT: Oh, come on!

MAYNARD: Well, that’s what it says.

ARTHUR: Look, if he was dying, he wouldn’t bother to carve ‘aarrggh’. He’d just say it!

MAYNARD: Well, that’s what’s carved in the rock!

GALAHAD: Perhaps he was dictating.

I think you mean uranium glass. It fluoresces bright green under UV light, very cool -- but the uranium is added on purpose, for coloration

That was such a great Chappelle episode. Second best was the Prince one.

Yes, L4s is also filling out publicfreakout with Reddit crossposts.

I think generally it should be good etiquette to caveat when posts are generated by a bit of AI generated.

FTA: Disposed of permanently and safely.

Vitrification is accomplished by mixing waste from Hanford’s underground tanks with glass-forming materials in high-temperature melters. As the materials are heated to 2,100 degrees Fahrenheit, the waste is incorporated into the molten glass. This “liquid glass” is poured into stainless steel canisters to cool.

Once cooled, the now-solid vitrified waste within the canisters can be disposed of permanently and safely. The most hazardous waste will be buried in a national repository. Less dangerous wastes will be disposed of at the Integrated Disposal Facility on the Hanford Site.

He was in pretty rough shape, unfortunately, by that time.
