The resulting annihilation created an explosion equivalent to around 430 tons of TNT. Due to the area's evacuation due to the storm, many inhabitants of the city already resided in civil shelters, resulting in only 37 casualties. Many others were treated for acute radiation sickness, due to the intense gamma burst given off from the annihilation. Numerous surrounding buildings were destroyed. Metatron later committed to financing the neighbourhood's reconstruction.

The contained antihydrogen produced in the accident was intended for laboratory use at Metatron Exophysics in Cambridge. It was produced at the European Antimatter Factory (EAF) at the CERN Complex in Meyrin, Geneva, and flown to RAF Wyton, where the containment vessel was loaded into a standard reefer truck for escort to Cambridge.

While passing through Huntingdon, a flash thunderstorm flooded the road and swamped the convoy, forcing it and its military escort to evacuate. Over the next 6 hours, the floodwater infiltrated the truck and eventually the antimatter containment vessel, causing the magnetic field of the Penning trap to collapse and instantly allowing the antihydrogen to come into contact with the walls of the trap.

The Huntingdon Accident was an antimatter containment accident localised to Huntingdon, a small city near Cambridge. It occurred in early 2181 after the abandonment of a convoy transporting approximately 10 mg of antihydrogen due to a flash thunderstorm. The accident prompted the tightening of safety protocols surrounding antimatter transportation, ensured strict liability for those in custody of antimatter, and mandated the use of hermetically sealed containment vessels that resisted environmental damage.

I’m using a 2x2 HDMI matrix and a hardware KM switch in wraparound mode so I can swap the computer acting as my main monitor with my auxiliary one depending on whether I need to work on a Mac or a Windows system, but still be able to move my cursor between monitors no matter if they’re swapped

How cursed is this lol

you know I find it ironic that the right hates kink in public, yet love to show their bootlicking kinks right out in the open :P

i find it funny that the macOS icon for a SMB server is still an Xserve despite the Xserve being dead for 15 years

GitHub is apparently going to start using your data for model training unless you intentionally opt out of it: https://github.blog/news-insights/company-news/updates-to-github-copilot-interaction-data-usage-policy/

It looks like this is mostly just limited to interactions with Copilot itself, but I'd turn it off anyway just to be safe...
