Cool. Guangzhou? ... Also known as 'Canton' ...guess that's why I've heard of Cantonese.

Firefox gives me a blank page when I follow that link.

So does IE.

Just FYI.

Chrome works just fine.

I'll never see it, then.

Won't use Chrome.

Why not? We've been using it for years with no problems.

There seems to be a lot of ocurrences of this situation:

I can't see the web page unless I'm using Chrome?

That alone earns them the Fuck You Award™.

Firefox shows it fine for me.

Wow--look at Vijayanagara just plummet off the map in 1565.

Yes, those a a good way to show changes over time.

How did people meet their spouse?
Internet in the 60's and 70's ?? :confused: ??

Wonder if the couples-that-met-online-numbers jibe with a rise in the divorce rate?

Just the opposite actually.

What category includes Woodstock, Isle of Wright, SxSW, and the Monterey Pop Music Festival? Or do sex, drugs, and rock & roll not result in marriages?

Curious is a relationship over the decades between college and church.

It results in children...

I was wondering about the Internet part of the 60s and 70s - the 60s I can't explain, but the 70s could be stretched to include the earliest instances of bulletin board systems.

I see the races as equal so I am a black Trump voter*. All you black Clinton voters, white Trump voters, and white Clinton voters are goddamn racists.




*not actually any of those three things

Fixed that for you, now it's true. They range from blatant all the way to fight bad feelings/try hard to hide them, on to color?.

Are they now called Crack babies?

They are called offspring.

No one expects the offspringqisiti … oh never mind.

Everybody dies, some have help...

Fuck the rifles...Maybe we ought to be rounding up the bad doctors.

I thought it was strange to do rifles and not handguns. Take the medical malpractice with a grain of salt, there's plenty of sympathetic juries feeling sorry for people who had a bad outcome that was completely out of the Doctor & Co's hands. Also Insurance Companies looking for the cheapest way out.

Hmm...

Them jailbirds is costing me money... better than me costing them money though.

462,000 not convicted. We have a bail problem in local jails.

The graphic does nothing to counter any of those myths

I was costing you $135 a day thirty yrs ago.Attachment 66926

The report the graphic comes from does.

Tornado :eek:

Is God trying to tell the Southern Baptists something? ;)

NFC. No way to know what the text says.

Just that tornado warnings are more frequent in Southern Baptist country. Riffing off the televangelists who tie weather events to "bad people."

too big, please smaller it

Okay Mama Bear.

can I speak to your manager?

My manager is much worser.

i'm decides that!

Why does god consider everyone in Utah an atheist?

No, I don't.

You can always tell who the top man is. His name is shortest - three letters - god. When one gets demoted, then the length of his title gets longer - 11 letters.

Don't make me smite you, pissant.

It's only #2 but Texas still be big...

Power to the people...

PA more backwards looking than SC... checks out.

SC has no fossil fuel reserves or production, we have the Marcellus shale. Their forward lookingness is by default, most likely

Blue states are generally where there are nuclear plants, dams, or where the state imports their electricity. SC has 4 nuke plants, PA has 5. IN is flat and has no nukes. WA has 33 hydroelectric-producing dams. VT imports 40% of its power.

Yes, PA has 5 nukes and we don't all glow in the dark, imagine that. Who've thought nukes can be safe. :rolleyes:

3 Mile Island anniversary was just a few days ago...Just sayin'.

I know, I was within the 20 mile radius along with all my friends!

I favor nukes 100%, there have long since been new designs which would have prevented the TMI problem.

I got no probs w/nukey energy.

Never forget why TMI2 happened. They knew they had a problem at 4 AM. Desperately called corporate saying they needed help. The only guy in corporate who knew anything about nuclear power was on National Guard duty. So management told plant operators that everything was OK. And continued telling the press same for three days.

As things got worse, plant operators could not even place outgoing phone calls. Management would not even ask Bell of PA to provide upgraded service or more phone lines. A solution did not happen until Jimmy Carter (after a request from the PA Governor) connected all phones in TMI directly through the White House switchboard.

Just another example of why we are so damn lucky and the thing that makes nuclear power so dangerous. In this case, 99% of all problems were directly traceable to top management. Top management lies so often that the press ignored everything that GPU top management said.

Every time we built a nuke they changed to rules and regulations, so no two were alike and more expensive. In France they settled on a design and built them all the same which was much cheaper.
The Westinghouse Pressurized Water Reactor system was reasonably safe in that the radioactive water transfers the heat in a heat exchanger to the water that became steam and drove the turbines.
GE came out with the cheaper Boiling Water Reactor System where the radioactive steam drove the turbines making the machinery and turbine hall hot. In order to overhaul the turbines, the radioactive parts would be shipped back to GE for machining.

The real problem with the nukes is how to dispose of the spent fuel, but all they have to do is build a wall out of it.;)

And it's not just the nuclear stations and the disposal of their waste we have to worry about, hydro-electric stations seem to be causing just about as many and more immediate problems.

Around the globe dams are failing and it turns out that a whole load of them, even in what we call the developed world, were shoddily built and have been even more poorly maintained.

High Rhianne, how goes it?

This is the only real issue. A functional government would have settled it long ago.

Just about hanging together. I hope you are well.

Don't they break up the spent fuel rods into bullet-sized pieces and shoot them at brown people in sandy places?

Don't want to help fuel their nuclear program.;)

Something like 3% of Uranium gets used in those rods. Problem is those rods are still highly radioactive. And now contains Plutonium.

Uranium ore has less than 1% U-235. Depleted Uranium is the byproduct after removing as much U-235 as possible So depleted Uranium is even less radioactive.

MOX fuel is the process of extracting both Uranium and Plutonium. Then combining those materials to create another useful nuclear fuel. It has not been successfully used in the US but is more commonly used in Russia, Japan, and France. It could substantially reduce the amount of spent nuclear uranium rods. But makes Plutonium proliferation (nuclear weapons and 'dirty' bombs) easier.

Hours of searching strange sites ( other than the above ) and I've found the reference that I was looking for.

It's a book in German with no translation and not available in Kindle.

Another project.

It might be a while before I get to it. Grief councilors are on standby.
