Need help decoding the 1977 Wow! signal via rune and/or Gemmatria correspondence.

This is just something I was thinking about for fun, but, coming from the perspective that all characters of the alphabet and all numbers have esoteric meanings, how would one go about decoding the following sequence in a Thelemically coherent manner, assuming for a moment it was an esoterically encoded message?

The specific code was "6EQUJ5." Naturally 6 = Sol/Tiphareth, 5 = Mars/Geburrah when looking at it from a Qabalistic standpoint. Not sure whether to read this sandwich as pointing toward the path on the tree, or if one would add the numbers to get 11 (another number of great significance in Thelema).

As for the letters I was looking to the Qabalistic correspondences (Q = Qoph/Pisces, etc.) but got stuck with the vowels, so instead turned to runes. E = Ehwaz, U = Uruz.

Does anyone with more comprehensive insight to/education on these systems have any theories regarding this sequence?

Again, this is simply for fun, I'm not assuming anything concrete or conspiratorial about the sequence. This was inspired upon realizing that Boards of Canada have a track on their new album named after the 1420 MHz hydrogen line, and was looking deeper into the contexts of the tracks after realizing one of the later tracks on the album contains a sample of someone reading directly from Magick in Theory and Practice. As far as I'm concerned, I'm just curious as to whether or not the band themselves believe there to be some kind of esoteric significance to the event and thought this may be a way to gain better insight.

Dumb question about immersion blenders

I have only just recently started using immersion blenders and mine either didn't come with a container or I lost it somehow.

I see a lot of people using glass for this (which sounds somewhat risky in terms of chipping, I've had glass chip from less force than a spinning blade), but I don't have any containers that seem to be the right size. On top of this, those containers don't have enouygh space for the things I want to blend.

I've seen people using them directly in stainless steel pans, but am not sure whether things like a much thinner stainless steel bowl would also be appropriate, or whether there are any types of pots/pans I shouldn't put the running blender into.

I'm probably overthinking it, but I don't want to damage my cookware or get any inedible particulate in my food or anything.

Just ate undercooked frozen lima beans

Am I going to be okay? I ate a good handful of undercooked lima beans (frozen, from the grocery store) in a pasta dish someone made. Halfway through i picked them out because they were undercooked, but ate around, not thinking anything of it. I then just read that this can kill you due to the cyanide released from the lectins?

A friend read online that frozen lima beans in the US don't have enough of this compound to cause damage but I don't see anything like that. Is there anything I should do right now? I feel a bit gassy but otherwise fine.
