Shit, now the future of nuclear power in the UK is being entrusted in the hands of a one party totalitarian dictatorship...

As long as the trains run on time, what's the worst that could happen?

The government is possibly allowing a chinese corporation to have an up to 30% stake in the construction of the Hinkley C reactor, first new-build since '89.

turns out it's not a nuclear power plant at all but instead it generates power by harvesting ai weiwei's sense of dissatisfaction with his country

the "reactor core" is just weiwei sitting in a room with a bunch of newspapers to read

sometimes the news papers are replaced with current ones

sometimes they are not

I know what you mean. I teach children who aren't even as old as the film Iron Man.
And it's been compounded by fashion, music, and most other stuff not changing that dramatically much at all since 1997-2002, with only the increased prevalence of flat TV screens, and the evolution of desktop computers and mobile phones into tablets and smartphones being genuinely significant changes. That's the impression I get from watching a couple of old TV shows that were made in the mid to late 1990s and very early 2000s.

Get asked for my email very early tuesday morning. I respond an hour later, still very early in the morning.

Still nothing sent :L

If you're gonna get my hopes up about things being ready to be sent to me you should warn me about this :[

You'd want to wait until your prescription stabilizes post-puberty, but there isn't much you can do about age-related degeneration. You'll still end up with reading glasses.

I turned 27 today and all it makes me think about is how I've accomplished absolutely nothing in 27 years.

You gave me a pretty bitchin' desktop wallpaper.

It sounds like small potatoes but that's basically what people are. A bunch of small potatoes bumping into other small potatoes.

I know exactly what you mean. But you've been a good internet friend to me, and I enjoy reading what you write. You're clever, insightful and interesting. Remember that not all accomplishments can be counted on paper, but try to see the differences you have made for people. How many people will you be able to help once you make it to the teaching game?

To use myself as an example, I was in a suicidal funk when I was 21 because I had accomplished exactly nothing. Then I started to realise that despite... everything, people cared and I cared about them. My goal became to make at least one person smile every day. Will I get rich/successful doing that? No. But it makes the world a happier place.

Share your gifts.

Thanks, Gands. I have a short three years ahead of me and then I'll be indoctrinating kids with facts known as numbers.

It'll most likely be in French (EDF are actually doing the gruntwork, since unlike in the UK, America, and Germany, they didn't let their nuclear power sector age and wither away like NASA).

Given our power grid rests almost entirely on the stuff, that's not exactly surprising.

And the weapons program that you insisted on testing in the Pacific in the mid 90s.

We're more bitter about Gallipoli, no one in the eastern states gives a fuck about SA and WA.

That's hardly a fair measure.

I mean, the shipping costs alone price them out of the Chinese market.
