Are you implying the stats are being rigged?

I am so sick and tired of fucking pretending we are not in a deep deep recession.

It's arguably a "white collar recession". General employment is generally in a "C+" mode. White collar-ers are just going to have to get blue collar jobs until the economy normalizes.

You don't stay socialist indefinitely, you either transition to communism (usually at the barrel of gun) or perish as a state.

Do you have statistically reliable numbers for this claim? Let's see your tallies. Otherwise, I'll consider it a Slippery Slope Fallacy.

Note that ALL nations or empires eventually fall, so your claim has a tautology.

The point, which you seem to have missed, is that there's no evidence that this was a targeted theft of extremely valuable intellectual property, rather than a simple theft of luggage, which probably happens several hundred times every day at airports throughout the country.

The relevant question could be posed this way:

If I steal a random box that I see on the street, should I be sentenced more harshly if the box contains the Hope Diamond versus a package of bubble gum?

Nuclear reactors use most surface water, not ground water.

Datacentres are no pickier. You can even cool a datacentre with saltwater, you just need a heat exchanger.

Also, closed loop does not evaporate. The loop is not closed if stuff escapes from it.

You're arguing with the actual terminology used in the nuclear industry. "Closed loop" or "closed cycle" designs have the water pumped in a cycle through cooling towers. The towers lose water to evaporation, taking heat with them, but the rest of the water is returned to be reheated again. "Open loop" or "open cycle" designs have no cooling towers. The water is heated and just discharged hot. They consume much more water (over an order of magnitude more), but most of that is returned. Closed loop are more common, but you see open loop in some older designs, and in seawater-cooled reactors.
