Sure, recently mixed concrete is basically just wet powder with sand and gravel. The powder will absolutely stick. Hypothetically, if the bird then flies around long enough for it to dry, the bird will probably get itchy feet, but the concrete will dry and flake away fairly quickly.

Perhaps,

You could probably make a backpack nuke, although I don’t know that Iran specifically could.

and I guess if you have a backpack nuke, you can just make it be a really bulky vest

Honestly, the problem with a dirty bomb isn’t the cancer rates or w.e, its the sheer amount of propaganda that has gone into scaring people over nuclear energy. Yes, the propaganda is mostly to stop nuclear reactors to force reliance on oil, but its still there.

I used to use a nuclear soil density gauge. The gauge was not at all scary, I could use it as a seat for a whole year, and it would have a minimal effect on my lifetime cancer rates.

But no matter how many times I explained it, as soon as I said “Nuclear Gauge” people got scared.

“Nuclear” has become a scare word, so a nuclear dirty bomb is terrifying to people.

Sure, technically if it has two armholes and covers most of the upper body it can count as a vest.

Could they develop one somebody could reasonably carry around? No

Hate is getting more and more acceptable.

This is a very intentional goal, and conservatives have been pushing for it basically since Reagan. For a while, saying that you where a white supremacist was generally not acceptable socially, being too racist was considered bad.

Now, conservatives are proudly bigoted, and that gives cover to everyone else. Every time somebody makes a racist/sexist/homophobic/transphobic “joke” and gets no pushback, it makes it a little more acceptable to keep making those jokes.

Every time a conservative pundit or influencer goes on a racsist tirade, or homophobic one etc, it tells the people watching that its ok for them to be super bigoted.

And so they are.

Which I don’t understand really.

The only think about the VW I don’t like (I drive one for work), is that it uses your phones internet to connect, so if you want to use Wifi and connect to your car…you cant.

That may be an optional setting I haven’t found yet, but beyond that I like the car.

Do not buy the Hyundai Ioniq. The car itself is great (although it has a lot of modern features you dont want) but dealing with Hyundai is such a nightmare that I will never again buy a Hyundai.
