420 suckas is 2/3 of April.
One full April is 1/3 of a year.
Now if he's high he's light, and he prolly lit it on the way up.
So, something close to 3 petameters or 10 petafeet.

There's no "proper" English, but there are many "improper" ones. If your P becomes so misshappen that it can be seen as a D, you aren't communicating anymore.

It's the same thing for words: u, m8, w8, pwn aren't proper per se but have a clear and unambiguous mapping to the proper word. Even when using misspellings like seperate or convinsable, you are still communicating clearly enough.

It's only when you use the spelling of a different word that you screw up. Errors such as board/bored, hoard/horde, straight/strait send a sentence straight into damnyouautocorrect, if not Alice's Wonderland. You cannot "evolve" a word by having treasure and army become a single concept, unless you want to speak Smurf. And even then, they can smurf which smurf means smurf.

IOW, same as electricity, no?
The city infrastructure is owned by a carrier that only does transport. The client pays a provider, which is separate from the carrier. And every producer (Google, Disney Channel, MaBell) pays another provider to reach the carrier.

The only non-neutral thing (in spirit maybe) would be if the producer had a box at the client site and therefore paid a different price to feed its box with its products.

But what do I know.

FTFY

That too, but then what would I read before bed?

There's enough news, blogs and documentation on the internet to cover my non-fiction needs.

I would say my book reading is 100% fiction but for Guy Gavriel Kay pseudo-historical fiction or RPG splat-books that describe real locations and History such as Ars Magica.

If I'm using books, it's because I don't want to stare at a screen before bed.

if ! (doSomethingThatMightFail() &&
  doSomethingElseThatMightfail() &&
  doMoreFailingStuff() &&
  yepMoreFailingStuff()) {
    cleanupWork();
}

OR

do {
  if ! doSomethingThatMightFail() break;
  if ! doSomethingElseThatMightfail() break;
  if ! doMoreFailingStuff() break;
  if ! yepMoreFailingStuff() break;
} while (false);

Utterly tongue in cheek!

Since tritium has to be ingested and its half-life is short, I thought this wasn't a risk for humans.

Wasn't it shutdown because the powerline were gone and they could not "export" electricity out of the plant? That's how I read it anyway.

The biggest joke is that if we were to reduce prescription, we would reduce leakage by the same factor if not more.

Simony was a big problem in the Middle Ages. HRE Henry IV fought against Pope Gregory VII over who would name the bishops. There was still only 2 players who could name priests, which kept it relatively safe.

And there were Cathars and Bogomils who got written off as heresy by the victors. Much closer to us (10-20 years or so), there were some (swiss?) traditionalist priests who got excommunicated for saying the mass in latin.

All that does not stop some random Westboro Church or fake Caliphate from sprouting, but it might keep them from surviving a century or two.

Thanks for the correction and reminding me those were separate albums.

From 700 to 1400, roughly. Then they fell into obscurantism. We should be good for another 100 years before we fall too.
