    History - The Windscale Accident (1957)

    For a long time, Plutonium was the most expensive material on the planet, gram for gram. So almost certainly yes!

    Thoughts on the Trump presidency

    That said, those snipers might come in very useful in defending the White House from forces attempting to remove a former president who refuses to quit the building after losing an election. Just a thought.

    Thoughts on the Trump presidency

    The "Arc de Trump" is 100% about the fact that they have one in Paris and Macron once made him look bad. So the USA has to have one, and it has to be bigger.

    Caledonian Sleeper

    It's a few years back now, but thanks to a delayed flight into Heathrow I once did the sleeper up to Dundee (in the seats at that!) and then did a full eight-hour day of in-person technical training to a class of 15. That was rough, but you do what you have to do.

    Caledonian Sleeper

    I've not travelled in the Mk5 beds but I often used to sleep better in the Mk3s than I did in my own bed!

    Thoughts on the Trump presidency

    How long until either the 25th Amendment or a Big Mac put us out of his misery?

    Caledonian Sleeper

    That's entirely feasible, but does have the downside of having to spend time in Dundee!

    The "And in other news..." thread

    Indeed, it's one of those things that means a lot to people who were directly affected and next to nothing to anyone else. In the same way that "The 96" would be instantly triggering to some from Liverpool and leave others clueless.

    Thoughts on the Trump presidency

    That is now pretty much confirmed. The "deal" is actual "a concept of a deal" that needs the details ironed out, and then to be ratified by the legislatures in Greenland, Denmark, and the USA - a process that's likely to take months or years. And the only major change from the existing...

    Thoughts on the Trump presidency

    Considering that the USA already had bases in Greenland, and previously stationed tens of thousands of troops there, one has to wonder if the "new deal" is in fact, just the existing agreement with a new cover put on the outside.

    Thoughts on the Trump presidency

    The US is in a fairly intractable situation. As long as the IRGC can maintain control they hold the upper hand. I imagine that a Democratic controlled Congress would put a leash on Trump's ability to continue the war, but I can't see that they could force a deal to end it. In any case, they...

    Thoughts on the Trump presidency

    If it's a fair vote the GOP is in for a slaughter. The House will definitely go to the Democrats, and there is a very good chance that they may get the Senate.

    Thoughts on the Trump presidency

    An interesting example of what happens when people are so far up DJT's **** that they can taste his breakfast before he does! Facebook reel: https://www.facebook.com/share/r/1TfTpBPbQk/ Video description: Two DJT supporters who lost money investing in TRUMP coin refuse to admit that they've...

    Caledonian Sleeper

    Having visited both several times, I can confirm that your intuition is correct.

    Thoughts on the Trump presidency

    Definitely the actions of a strong, powerful leader and not a pathetic, weak narcissist who can't cope with any criticism.

    AI - Out of Control Already?

    As I commented above, the potential problem there is that current AI isn't intelligent - it has been fed a lot of training data and uses statistical analysis to predict the most likely next word/line of code. This has a few issues: it's only as good as its training data so rarely generates...

    VOIP - Why all the misinformation?

    That sounds about right. There would be an automation in their system that triggered a cease against the line rather than a conversion. The two-week delay was likely because there was then a tag left against the line. (This is based on almost decade-old understanding of BB provision, but I...

    Thoughts on the Trump presidency

    The Fed Rate is set by the Fed. Kinda difficult for anyone else to do it! The Orange One is having another temper tantrum over the Kennedy Centre.

    Thoughts on the Trump presidency

    That said, Trump's threat to "stop all trade with Europe if it's done with bad intention" is laughable.
