Alex Wellerstein on Twitter: "Half of me wants to buy a huge, rusty metal barrel for my office on eBay. The other half recognizes that this is an awful idea that will only bring me difficulty in the future. Which half will win out? Only time will tell. https://t.co/83pldSXURo"

  The tagging algorithm in Apple’s photos thinks the Special Atomic Demolition Munition (SADM) is a bucket! If you search bucket in photos you get a bunch of SADM results. Well at least I do... #Nukes #Buckets #Apple #Photos #AI #Fail #Algorithm pic.twitter.com/PtYPdwJKRl

  OK, I understand if this idea may be anathema to an historian, but after seeing this, I'd like to find one, preferably in better condition, and turn it into a kegerator.

  Buy, it. You might need to use it for its original purpose in the not so distant future, if present headlines (and tweets) are to be believed.

  Getting half a huge, rusty metal office barrel seems a rational compromise.

  Don't buy. Very poor condition. And huge. Shiny gold tin of civil defense survival crackers much better for your office shelf.

  It's not even that big, just have to make sure the rust doesn't ruin whatever surface you place it on.
