The replacement required cutting a giant hole - measuring 23 feet by 27 feet - in the 42-inch-thick protective wall of the building that contains the nuclear reactor. To save money, Progress opted to manage the project on its own and awarded the contract to an engineering firm that had no experience in such repairs.
The work resulted in three instances of "delamination," a term used to describe an internal separation of the building wall. Each delamination is the size of a basketball court, said Florida's Deputy Public Counsel, Charles Rehwinkel. "They were definitely three separate events, or discrete incidents," he said.
.
The blunder shows that a highly experienced nuclear operator with a sterling reputation in the industry is not immune from unforeseen miscues that raise questions about judgment and competence.
The sequence of mistakes has put Progress in a state of crisis management for more than two years. Company officials are dealing with persistent questions from Wall Street analysts while they negotiate data requests from the insurer, Nuclear Electric Insurance Limited, known as NEIL.
Progress is the root of all evil. (General Bullmoose)... to listen to the delaminations of their women.
Germany trades electricity with Norway, which has huge hydropower magazines. These can also serve to even out the variability of wind and solar, though I'm not sure to which extent this is done, and how much can be offloaded this way.
Every branch, and each political faction, constantly, and steadily usurps power from the american people. Democrat vs Republican ballots merely ask, which powers do you want to lose today? Whichever you pick, the other party waits, because they will take away the other freedom soon enough. There is not an option that says, "I want more freedom", or "I want the government to have less control of my life."

Insects are anything but addicted to it. It' kills 'em dead. That's the entire reason the nicotine is flowing through plants' veins in the first place: it's their natural insecticide.
That's why they stay in one place; they are too high to move.
that this nuclei is just more excited than the others!
Which is why I' really like some details about the experimental settings/procedure. The paper's title is "Studies of pear-shaped nuclei using accelerated radioactive beams": is it possible the pear-shape is actually caused by the acceleration?
... the public perception is that scientists are getting research funding that they are squandering in the science equivalent of the $56,000 hammer sold to the military...
What makes you think they're wrong?
When you have a $56,000 hammer, everything looks like a nail.
Yeah, but would you hit an ordinary nail with a $56000 hammer, or would you be looking for MIL-SPEC nails?

Or, you know, give the money back to the tax-payers and stop fucking spending it - period. Still, I'd rather you pay for your children's education. That's not something that requires the collective effort of the entire nation to accomplish. Defense, however, is. So if it came between subsidizing the education/daycare of your snot-nosed rug-rats versus a navy ship, I'll take the ship.
However, I'd rather they just but that $37b, period.
I'm no lawyer but I think the central issue here is providing access to the encryption key would establish a relationship between that content and the accused. A relationship that is not already established.
Somehow this is different than providing access to encrypted content of hardware you clearly own because it is not about compelling decryption it is about establishment of linkage between individual and encrypted content.
I watched a BBC documentary this past year, the host of which sought to find out what "long-pig" tastes like. He went to a doctor and had his leg biopsied, then cooked the biopsy. However, he said he couldn't eat it due to UK law, so he took it to a lab, which placed the sample in a GCMS and told him what it would it taste like: a combination of mostly pork, plus poultry and lamb, if I remember correctly. I have little doubt he was willing to eat it, though, as this bloke drank his own piss during the same series.
I see a green future in this field. Very soon you will see kidneys, livers etc etc... There is a company in west coast "organovo" who are working aggressively in this field. I am an investor too..

The acceleration of gravity causes my pear shape.
