FTFA - "Naturally these rules are that you never say anything bad or negative about the company" Sounds like you can have a beer in the pub and discuss good new products, just not bad ones.

Care to post these odds and the credentials of the scientists involved in these calculations?

The point is you're not raising cattle or pigs in order to make the oil you're using an otherwise wasted by-product. Take for instance an old dairy cow that has lived past their efficient milking years or fat byproducts stripped for otherwise useless butchers waste. Also I would imagine turning sick animals into usable oil would be a better alternative to just burning them.

Not sure this really matters. Red Dwarf has always been low budget, and the later series (7+8 and to a lesser extent 6) where more money was thrown at it also corresponded with a huge dip in funniness. Generally speaking the same few rooms are used on the ship or often just Starbug. Growing up in the UK you get used to low budget comedies and high budget stuff just doesn't have quite the right feel; Red Dwarf always used to be perfect, incredibly low budget and relying just on script and actors to make it enjoyable. My favourite Red Dwarf episode ever was Marooned and that's just Lister and Rimmer in a single part of Starbug for the whole episode (with a Thunderbirds style crash at the beginning).

Wish I had mod points to mod this up. While taking photos of yourself nude and sending them around where they could eventually end up anywhere (internet, whole schools phones etc.) is not the smartest thing to do they're just following the most basic and driving of human instincts. Kids at this age probably don't think too forward into the future about consequences that lie ahead, but that's no need to say that exploring their sexuality in such a way was wrong. Education about the future consequences of making such pictures public or texting them is probably the right strategy.

When I first went to University (UK) the people who got into the worst scrapes (drinking too much to the point of being taken home by strangers and not remembering, having unprotected sex whilst drunk and not remembering) were usually from single-sex catholic schools who had been kept on a tight leash. Their first experience of the adult world was from the perpspective of someone who'd been sheltered from it.
