This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

I work there. Not many people know that Hanford even exists, but it’s nice to see an optimistic article rather than one comparing it to Chernobyl or something.
