I'd be dumbfounded to find that there are enough true flat-earthers out there to properly fund his (mis)adventure. Still, there are cheaper ways. Weather balloon with a camera attached comes to mind. In my storm-chasing group, we actually plan this for the summer (seeing CBs towering from the upper atmosphere seems too cool to miss) Depending on how many gizmos we want on it and how many corners we are willing to cut, we calculated it would be around 200 bucks, maybe even cheaper. Sure, all the high-altitude flights may be a "NASA conspiracy" and the amateurs may use fisheye lens for greater effect, but it doesn't apply if he's the one mounting the camera.

Yep. Or, like I said, he could just pay somebody to take him up in an airplane.
 
Apparently the two nuclear reactors at the only romanian nuclear powerplant have had seven (yep,seven) unplanned shutdowns since January 2017 until now. This only got out after a bigger incident on friday morning, which sent one of them into scram and left the other one operating at 55% . Just secondary loop issues, they say. Still...seven shutdowns? What the hell? They're not even that old (1996 and 2007)

Since everybody calls them sausage dogs, and hardly anybody knows what a badger is anymore, shouldn't the name of the breed be changed to Wursthund?
 
I always called them wiener dogs.

But, aren't wiener and dogs(short for hot-dogs) the same thing? Circular reference?

My knowledge of American food cultural references isn't good...

Lacking any context, what does this scene look like to you, and what do each of the devices appear to be thinking/expressing?

The one on the lower right is doing some sort of risky experiment on himself, and showing his enthusiasm, while his friend on the upper left is concerned and thinks his friend is about to do something stupid.
 
Yes, I thought it was a Lirpa Loof, but seems not.

If I ever get the nerve, may tell the time I took a wrong turn after leaving the bathroom at 2am, and locked myself out of my flat...your worst nightmare.
