The Science of Why We Don't Believe in Science
Given that nuclear is almost certainly going to be part of the energy mix, you have to find locations for it anyway. Given this, probably better big ones.

Skyrim Mods
I used to be scared of cazadors. Then I bought a .50 cal and the Gun Runners arsenal exploding rounds. I now exact terrifying long range vengeance on the mother****ers. Seriously. You have to try this.

There's a tiger in my think tank
You make an interesting point about Oz. In fact I believe most countries have a tendency to centralise. Capital cities just attract people. Centralisation was predicted to be at an end with the rise of distributed working via the net. However if anything it seems to have got worse. My developed point is that it hardly seems efficient to have people spending vast sums living in one small area rather than spreading out. I mean for the price of a house in Kent people could be living a fancy sustainable green house in Yorkshire.

There's a tiger in my think tank
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-23273448 The BBC (may peace be upon them) frontline with this report this morning. If I ate cornflakes I would be spitting them. The implication o the writers seems to be the Something Must Be Done, probably by government, to let low income families buy in the Southeast of England. My own view is that there are quite correct, house prices are too high in the Southeast of England. My answer is that people in the Home Counties have to abandon their snobbish disdain for moving North. As do businesses. However, my over-arching interest was piqued in the extent to which think tank research can move the media. Is this true in other members' countries?

The Science of Why We Don't Believe in Science
I have to agree with Rosti. Nukes are like oil supertankers. Yes, there is a risk of environmental ****storm, in a crisis. But the advantages far outweigh the risks, given that the risks are engineering focussed and therefore can be mitigated.

Good call. Soup makes you cowardly.

Skyrim Mods
It's much easier to sidle past trouble in Skyrim. Things don't tend to spawn right next to you. Plus they behave in roughly sensible ways. Many bad guys will leave you alone if you don't hassle them.

If that works, I'm going to go play New Vegas again, for the heat. ...almost makes you wish for a nuclear winter. I genuinely believe that the mind can achieve a great deal. Make you feel full, warm, happy. Or the reverse. One trick I've been trying today is just breathing more deeply. Exploit natural circulation. Are you having a manic period? If so, do come off it gently. Not really. All that sort of mind over matter nonsense I got mostly out of my system when I was younger and when in training with the Army. Nowadays I mostly make soup or ice cream and look at the wonder of nature. I am now, as Samuel L. Jackson would say, one placid mother****er.

I hadn't seen the full video before. When he climbed on top, why didn't they just drive on?

What you did today
Today I made icecream, by freezing and then blending and re-freezing a mix of: cream double cream rice-based milk substitute (seems to work better than milk for some reason) brown sugar caster sugar cinnamon orange truffle chocolate chocolate 'nibs' Very VERY delicious.

The Science of Why We Don't Believe in Science
I can't remember where I read it, but it was saying that there has been much expansion of what I'm going to incorrectly call 'crowdsourced' energy. But the problem in Germany is that it's too subsidised. The markets aren't at play and so there's a lot of wonky provision, and the big players are disincentivised from pouring in big projects.

Englishmen are quite accustomed to going shellfish pink/lobster red. But going _brown_?

Phone Etiquette
No, I had just received one of said phone calls where the person wanted to do something at that very moment he called, but I didn't see the message until much later that night. So it just got me to wondering what other people would do in that sort of situation. More of a curiosity thing. Now you mention it I have a friend who does exactly this. He gets annoyed. I refuse to care. I do not have a duty to be constantly watching my phone.

LOL. You have to recall we've had what feels like an eternal night of crap weather. Last summer barely happened at all! All over the place English people can be seen staring in dumb wonderment as they go a funny brown colour.

Phone Etiquette
Going back to the OP. I take it you have been accused of transgressing?
