61 self selected companies doesn't allow for much isolation of confounding factors, I'm getting the impression that at least some were very marginal economically and sounding quite toxic.

Russians don't use silos, they use the hide the pea strategy with mobile launchers.
A likely scenario is a russian nuke going off inside Russia due to disrepair. Possibly during takeoff.
That's extremely unlikely, a plutonium based nuclear device is incredibly difficult to design and build, it's parts require tight tolerances and timed to nanoseconds and that is where the uncertainty comes in. It's more like the devices will only partial fission and much more likely a nonfissioning dirty bomb explosion.
When they were first talking about a 4 day work week, I assumed they were talking about 4X10. A 4X8 work week isn't likely to catch on with employers, at least in the real world.
Nuclear's need for copious amounts of cool water is its Achilles heel. If their water source gets too warm, freezes, or dries up, nuclear plants have to cut their power output or shut down to avoid overheating. We saw that during Europe's heat wave last year.
So nuclear actually struggles with the same weather events that cause problems for everything else, on top of being hideously expensive to build and operate.
They are all Carnot Cycle heat engines, Coal, Gas or Nuclear, what affects one, affects all.
Interestingly, when you eat sugar, you release insulin which causes your kidneys to retain sodium.
Yes indeed, most of this was perpetrated when President Eisenhower, a 4 pack a day smoker, had a heart attack in office.
There are two different HFCS, "HFCS 42" which is 42% fructose used mainly in processed foods and has less fructose than table sugar (Table sugar is 50% fructose) and "HFCS 55" which is 55% fructose used mainly in processed drinks and has a little more fructose than table sugar. There is no reason for me to believe that HFCS is the devil and sucrose is the saint rather than all of it is bad for you.
Well, the data is subject reported, they "removed implausible intakes" and the end points are soft, so it's interesting but I wouldn't bet the farm on it.
In the 70's. The government promoted low-fat high-sugar diets for 30 years.
This is misleading. The government advocated low-fat high-carbohydrate diets, which is not the same as sugar.
No actually it is the same, there is little difference between added refined sugar made up of mono and disaccharides and the complex carbohydrates broken down into mono and disaccharides by salivary and pancreatic amylase. Things really went off the rails when Crisco bought the fledgling American Heart Association and we started to get hydrogenated seed oils in all of our food.
What I know is I can go to the second parties and get a boilerplate Business Associate agreement from both Microsoft and Google which makes them responsible for any violations by Windows operating system or Google Chrome's telemetry in regards to HIPPA violations on the computers in our healthcare establishment, but I don't know about any third parties. Unknowns in this area is a huge liability issue.
I'm wondering what kind of implications there are under HIPPA in the US as well, it seems like the data is a lot more than just is needed for strictly OS telemetry.
Actually you don't even have to process the rods, after 250 -300 years the rods are rejuvenated and can be re-used as fuel.
I'm thinking who ever didn't blow them up is secretly glad it happened.
Like having sex - I hear that's really dangerous!
With a meth addict it is.
