The claim on this can is true.
A single nuclear fuel pellet the size of a gummy bear produces the same amount of energy as one ton of coal. The amount of nuclear fuel it would take to meet all of your energy needs for your entire life could fit in a soda can.
All of the waste from your usage would also fit inside a soda can.
If you had one can for every person in the United States today and stacked them into a cube, that cube would be 164 feet tall and 164 feet wide, or about half the length of a football field.
Yes, if 100% of our electricity was generated by nuclear power, the total lifetime nuclear fuel and waste produced by every single person in the United States right now would fit in a single football field.
Actually, since spent nuclear fuel is recyclable, the amount of waste would be a lot less than that. If we recycled all of it, we would have a shot glass worth of waste per person's entire lifetime.
George Washington's Spectacles:
At the end of the Revolutionary War, Congress was broke and owed back pay to many officers and soldiers in the army.
Rumors began to spread that to solve the problem, Congress would just disband the army and send them home without pay.
Some officers, influenced by anonymous letters known as the Newburgh Addresses began discussing radical action such as marching on Congress.
This raised fears of a military coup that could have destroyed the nation in its infancy.
On March 15 1783, new Newburgh New York, General Washington called his officers together at the Temple of Virtue - a large wooden hall built by the soldiers as a chapel and dance hall.
He arrived unexpectedly just after General Horatio Gates had opened the meeting.
Washington spoke to his men and he sympathized with the officers’ hardships including his own but firmly condemned any move against the civilian government.
He appealed to their patriotism, honor, and sense of duty. He warned against plunging the country into “civil horror.”
As Washington prepared to read a letter from Congress explaining the situation, he struggled to read the print.
Then he reached into his pocket and pulled out a pair of reading spectacles—the first time most of the officers had ever seen him wear glasses. He had only recently started needing them and had kept it private.
He paused and said:
“Gentlemen, you will permit me to put on my spectacles, for I have not only grown gray but almost blind in the service of my country.”
The officers were stunned.
Here was their revered, seemingly invincible commander—now openly acknowledging his age, weariness, and physical frailty after years of shared sacrifice.
Many of them were moved to tears. The tension in the room dissolved. The conspiracy collapsed.
The officers voted to express their “unshaken confidence” in Congress and rejected any irregular or mutinous actions.
Washington later successfully lobbied Congress on their behalf, and the army received a settlement of five years of full pay.
The moment is widely regarded as one of Washington’s greatest acts of leadership.
Our country was founded and preserved by the greatest of men.

This 4th of July will mark the first 4th in 25 years I won’t be working on the streets. I started working with duel-diagnosed vets who were also experiencing homelessness over 25 years ago. I never intended to become a psychologist or to specialize in Trauma & PTSD. Watching Despicable treatment of our veterans and not having a big enough say in their treatment pushed me to get through school even while working a 85 hour work week.
We think of the holidays around Christmas as a time veteran suicides increase, and that is actually not true. Suicides greatly increase around the Fourth of July for several reasons. I personally have been to dozens of funerals following the Fourth of July. I failed those men and pray we can do better.
Recently, I have also found the attacks on patriotism the hatred for America being glorified and the rise in communism and Islam has taken a very traumatic toll on our combat veterans. I have also found many veterans will not reach out for help during this time out of fear of being a bother or wrecking the celebration.
I am tagging many people in this post with the hope that you will please reach out to your people. So many of our brothers are having a hard time and feel reaching out would be somehow be disrespectful. I respectfully beg you all to please reach out to your brothers, your sisters, your friends, and your family.
The system is broken The only way it gets fixed is by us. Over the last four years veterans have lost placements in programs, veterans have lost housing due to a previous administration policy to place illegals into those spots morale has gotten worse the number of homeless veterans as risen and hopelessness has turned into more suicides.
I ask again please reach out.
Please share
@JJettro Did the same with the launch of H3:ODST, my buddy and I then spent the next 12 hours playing through it all on legendary with pizza and Mt Dew. Those were the days.
@spikesguides Enjoy the day man, shoot a few for me, I’m stuck working till 2300, I also still need to put para cord pulls in my mags like you did lol.
A 17 year old girl offered a lad a lift. That's it. That's her whole crime. Being kind. He got in. Then three more climbed in after him.
FOR SIX HOURS, police say, they raped her. Over and over. Driving her round Sydney in her own car like she was a thing, not a child.
Then they dumped her back in the driver's seat and walked off like they'd done nothing. She's SEVENTEEN and she has to live with this for the rest of her life.
That's one of them being marched out of a house in cuffs. The only one of the four old enough to be named. The rest hide behind their age. They were 14, 16 and 18.
Listen to the family screaming at the police. Why are you arresting him. Why him. Shut your mouth, don't say a word. Not one of them screaming for her.
Here's what police say happened, because it's worse than people know.
Half five on a Sunday. Liverpool Westfield, southwest Sydney. A 16 year old she'd never met starts chatting, all friendly, follows her to her car and talks his way in and while he's allegedly attacking her, police say he's on a video call to the others. Filming it. Sending it round. Calling them in.
So no, this wasn't something that just got out of hand. They were watching, allegedly, before they even turned up.
He asks for a lift to a park. She says yes, thinking he'll get out when they arrive. He doesn't. Two more are waiting. A fourth pulls up in another car. And then, police allege, they took control of her own car and drove her round the suburbs while it carried on.
The detective leading the case didn't hold back. She said it beggars belief that men would act this way over six hours and then the line that sticks. In all those six hours, not one of them stopped and said to the others, this is wrong. Not once.
Six hours. Till half eleven at night, when they allegedly left her in the car and walked off. She rang a mate, who drove her to the police station and this is the part that should make people sit up.
That girl, after all of that, gave police a detailed statement over several days. The detective called it the strength of the victim. She is the reason they had the evidence at all. She handed them the case.
Look at the charges if you think it's being overblown.
The 16 year old on his own faces 24 of them. Nine counts of sexual intercourse without consent. The 14 year old, ten more.
A dedicated unit, Strike Force Dungannon, was set up to chase it down and they didn't rush it for a headline. They waited SIX MONTHS to arrest the two older ones, quietly building the case so it would hold.
The moment they knew they could throw the book at them, they moved. When they did, they needed the riot squad to get them out of the houses and none of it happened last week. This was December 2024.
That girl has carried it for over a year already. And it's only grinding through court now, in 2026. Still going. Still not done. She's still waiting.
She was kind for thirty seconds. They took six hours and the rest of her life for it. Four of them. One girl and over a year on, she's STILL waiting for justice to catch up.
That's the world we're handing our daughters.
So remember her. Because the system already wants you to forget and ask yourself what kind of country leaves a child waiting this long.
