Jul 15 Word of the Day
The safeguarding of Earth and other worlds from biological cross-contamination (i.e. billionaires with too much time on their hands).
Also known as “planetary protection.” Planetary protection / quarantine “reflects both the unknown nature of the space environment and the desire of the scientific community to preserve the pristine nature of celestial bodies until they can be studied in detail.”
There are two types of interplanetary contamination. Forward contamination is the transfer of viable organisms from Earth to another celestial body. Back contamination is the transfer of extraterrestrial organisms, if such exist, back to the Earth's biosphere.

Billionaires are having a dick swinging space race while the earth experiences record breaking heatwaves that cause sea creatures to literally cook inside their shells. We need planetary quarantine.

The EMP, or Electromagnetic pulse, is a rapid magnetic fluctuation which induces pulses of current in unshielded electronics. Natural sources of EMP include lightning, whereas artificial ones include a nuclear blast.
A nuclear blast generates an EMP via gamma radiation interacting with air molecules to create Compton electrons. These create a brief current and an associated electromagnetic pulse. This is especially hazardous with an exo-atmospheric nuclear blast outside the atmosphere, as the region affected by Compton electrons in such a manner becomes enormous and the electrons will rotate around the Earth's natural magnetic field lines, creating a vast pulse.
EMPs and NEMPs are extremely hazardous to unshielded electronics, causing rapid fluctuations in current, especially in long wires or antennae.

Yes, this might be something of an intellectual masturbation, but it's more fun than actually working. Hey-ho.

1. ElectroMagnetic Pulse. A "wave" that could potentially cripple every industrialized nation, silently. It basically fries circuits in an electronic device, rendering it useless. And since most national defense grids are made up of electronic relay circuits, you've got yourself a prime target right there.
2. English Muffin Pizza. The name pretty much speaks for itself; it's a pizza on an English Muffin. Very tasty with the right combination of sauce and cheese.

1. A nuclear bomb is not only catastrophic for living things, but it can also shut down an entire city WITHOUT killing a single person. Theoretically.
2. EMP's are a great dinner when you're too poor to afford a real pizza, or you're just to lazy to pick up the damn phone and call Domino's.
