See the other comment that I left moments ago. This isn't AI; it's real equipment on public display. I linked other photos of the same thing from different sources.
It's definitely not AI. It's on display as part of the B Reactor tour. You can find other photos of the same display. For example:

I ate the onion for a second there.
God damn, we are in the worst timeline.
I try to pick from a variety of sources, but it's tempting to make this community nothing but toolgif reposts for a few weeks. There are so many cool things to share.
Depending on the body of water and the type of fish you are eating, you might need to worry about environmental pollutants. Many jurisdictions publish guidelines about which fish to avoid eating due to accumulated mercury or other chemicals.
It can be a super cheap way to supplement your diet, though. The biggest investment will be your time. Use a second-hand rod or even a cane pole with no reel. For bait, dig up earthworms.
So clean. So orderly. This is pure satisfaction.
The photo is from the Hanford B Reactor in Washington state, USA.

Don't give them ideas.
There's a related morale patch that pretty much sums up human behavior:
Thanks for letting me be one of today's lucky 10,000.
I added "Throw pennies at Drewfus in his own house" to my time travel to-do list.
Stuck on the treadmill of adulthood but determined to have a good time.
KEXP is doing their six-degrees week and I am loving it! Today is the last day, so y'all still have a few hours to listed to the livestream if you like.

A brief Google search didn't turn up much information about the protests. The best I have is the brief summary on hmdb.org:
Regarding 1962 Student Protests in Quetzaltenango. In March and April, 1962 there were widespread protests throughout Guatemala against then-President General Ydigoras Fuentes, who was widely seen as having been elected in corrupt elections. There was also considerable anger for Guatemala having allowed the U.S. to train Cuban exiles in Guatemala for the 1961 Bay of Pigs invasion. In this early phase of the Guatemalan civil conflict, that would go on until a formal peace treaty was signed in 1996, it was common for student protests to be met with intense violence by military forces, resulting in many student deaths. In future years the conflict would generally move away from urban centers and towards more rural areas.

The Salem Chapel, British Methodist Episcopal Church was the first Black church in St. Catharines. Originally known as the African Methodist Episcopal Church, the name was changed to reflect their loyalty to the British Empire. In 1793, the "Upper Canada Act Against Slavery" was passed, allowing Blacks aged 25 years and older freedom from slavery in Canada. This created a safe haven for African American runaway slaves and made Canada the destination for many who fled. As a result, hundreds of escaped slaves settled in St. Catharines and created a vibrant Black community.
The original church was a small log building that held about 70 members and was built on the land behind today's church. The freedom seekers who settled in St. Catharines constructed this church, dedicated in 1855, to replace the smaller one. Some of the original pews that they built are still in use on the balcony level. The BME Salem Chapel is also significant for its ties to Harriet Tubman, nicknamed "Black Moses". This brave freedom fighter was instrumental in freeing hundreds of slaves using the Underground Railroad system. Harriet Tubman called St.Catharines and the BME Church home for almost a decade. In 2000, this church became the first National Historic Site in St. Catharines.

Cool video. Doing the double-slit experiment in my freshman physics class is a favorite memory from college. Seeing it in person blew everyone's minds, even the kids who had learned about the experiment before.
If you google "is energy conserved in the double-slit experiment" you'll find some physics forums with decent answers. Basically, the total energy emitted by the light source does not change. Energy is conserved. Don't think of the laser light as a discrete beam that is being split off onto a second path. Instead, imagine that the laser light is constantly shining all over that foil and card. The dark regions appear dark because the light waves there are canceled out by interference from adjacent light waves. Similarly, the red areas are illuminated because in those areas the adjacent waves did not cancel each other out. The bright spots visible on the polarized foil occur because the polarizer block thin regions of the light, preventing them from canceling out adjacent light that wasn't blocked. So light wasn't redirected there, but was always there and was simply made visible to us by the effect of the polarizer.
Light, quantum mechanics, and the probabilistic nature of the universe are all real head trips. I still struggle to wrap my mind around them. As such, there's a good chance my simplistic paragraph above is incorrect or misleading, so take my answer with a grain of salt.
