Your statement that 'there exists no solution for radioactive waste' is incorrect as we have solutions for the disposal of the waste that we currently generate. You confuse radiation with toxicity, showing that you know little about the actual subject.
We are capable of creating nuclear powerstations that produce a fraction of the waste of current powerstations and in a more manageable form.
Stop scare-mongering.
The BBC is a really weird organisation. It's a state-run TV channel, which usually we assume means "propaganda mouthpiece". The BBC is set up in a peculiar way whereby the state collects the money for them but the government is not allowed (in theory) control over the BBC itself. The BBC's charter has various requirements to show balance in political reporting and the government is denied direct mechanisms to interfere in editorial decisions.
It wasn't until I read it put in these terms that I realised that this is really a model that we should be looking at for providing education and medicine in this country. It would stop political interference and ensure that decisions on curriculum etc. were made by experts in the fields rather than as the latest government knee-jerk reaction.
Sharing the shower doesn't help since we tend to run it longer when we do.
You just couldn't resist slipping that in there, could you?
Also Old Sodbury and Slack Bottom.
my lease forbids livestock and the downstairs neighbors frown upon blood dripping through the ceiling
Sacrificing the neighbours would avoid both problems. I'm just sayin'...
Something I read somewhere : "In our haste to child-proof the world, we seem to have forgotten the arguably more important task of world-proofing the child."
When the ball goes under the coffee table, and the kid goes under to get it - you know exactly what is going to happen next. The kid is going to stand up, full speed, and bang the hell out of his head on the underside of the table.
I spotted my 2-yr old do this the other day, hard but not so hard as to provoke screaming. He spent the next minute carefully proving that it was hitting his head on the table that had caused the pain, and then hitting it again a couple of times very gently and then a bit harder to see when it hurt. I was astounded at the level of reasoning going on as he worked out what had happened to his head and how it had been caused.
Always draw your curves, then plot your reading.
