I looked hard and could find NO SUCH REACTOR. Signed, looking for stuff at midnight guy

I thought it was kind of a general purpose device that could do other things. The old FermiLab accelerator could do all manner of experiments AND they served great burgers in the lunch room :)

If the reason the LHC was built was to produce and sell antimatter for a profit, then it WOULD BE a total flop.

I just got back from a 5 day vacation. I spent about ALL DAY on a ton of emails. The best ( or worst) was people being directed to me for help who sent all kinds of nastygrams because I guess my Out-Of-Offce was not enough clue that I was NOT going to be answering them last week!

Yes - that is it. Great book. I loved how the Italian Communist Party almost took over in Italy with KGB help, but then pissed them off royal by deciding Italy would stay in NATO after they won LOL.

The Edward Snowden of the KGB revealed *there really were communists* infiltrating all over the place. I have a book he wrote - something like the Verona Files or ????

The WII-U has a well known issue where the consoles get harder and harder to turn on and then die. We had this happen. When sent back to Nintendo they said "no warranty - you modded the console". Well sure the kids downloaded some mod to make their own maps in a game or something, but that does not cause power issues. Well we'll suck it up and PAY for the repair, right? Nintendo says NO - they wil NOT repair it for any amount of money. To add to the insult, if they repair it or you buy another one, either way paid-for downloadable content is GONE. They are reaping what they have sewn.

I loved the LoTR movies. I could *not* watch the Hobbit movies. WTF happened to them? I also noticed that dwarves were no longer dwarves, but "normal height" humans shot at weird camera angles. I know there are no such thing as dragons or orcs, but dwarves are freaking real and you can hire some FFS!!!

The cowpox trick or any of the vaccines?

Smallpox vaccine is over *200 year old* tech at this point. I think with over 2 centuries of data, we know it works and it is NOT made out of smallpox anyway. Want to DIY it? Go find a cow with cowpox and rub it until you get cowpox. You are now immune to smallpox!

Some people do not need to work, but the majority of people in the USA kind of count on having a job to pay for their housing. Is this not the case in most of the 1st world?

Because all other countries have free food and housing????

A friend of mine got an Odyssey once. We were all wanting to drive it when we thought he meant the Hondy off road ATV Odyssey thing. Once we found out it was a van we threatened to take his man card away forever. They DO have a stigma even though the thing was GREAT for hauling people and stuff and we all used it between insults LOL. OTOH I had a BMW station wagon that was just as fun to drive - if not more so - than the sedan version, good decent MPG, hauled ass, AND could haul a bunch'o crap. I loved that car :)

If your attempt at getting a date is classified as assualt, you are doing it wrong to put it mildly.

The DAY before? I have been driving through a construction zone on the way to work that has up a YEAR and can go months between seeing any work done!
