    I thought it was pretty obvious that the universe looks much the same from either here or Mars or Saturn, but now I see your post and I guess not everyone sees it as obvious. Scary.

    A trade war with Mexico will hurt the US more than you and Trump appear to think. But hey, let's just see, shall we?

    ...might be the greatest discovery of the century, if not the millennium. If you can find a way to make these structures do work you essentially have unlimited energy

    You worked yourself up into quite a lather there over a claim that only came from your wild imagination: that it takes energy to maintain motion, which any grade school physics student can tell you is not the case.

    Yeah. Perpetual motion is uninteresting. In order to make it do work, you have to have an acceleration.

    The reason it's "hard" to understand is because it's incoherent babble, not because it's some kind of stunningly profound insight that takes a keen mind to interpret.

  10. Where are you getting "pardon" from? Go ahead and link it, thanks.

  11. Commutation IS NOT Pardon. Commutation IS NOT Release. Assange's deal remains valid. And Manning remains in prison.

    Now all you have to do is link Assange's tweet, where he used the words "pardon" and "release", and you've officially won the argument.

    Go ahead.

    Nuclear is better than coal, so I have no idea what point you're trying to make. Replacing coal with nuclear is something we need to be doing. Yester-fucking-day. Who gives a fuck if they're building more nuclear plants? That's a good thing.

    Modern reactors produce very little waste, actually. It's the smart option right now - well, unless you agree with Donald that climate change is all a big scam rumbled by a few plucky billionaires and oil companies ;)

    Most of those issues can be resolved by putting the wind farms off shore, just over the horizon. Doesn't solve the power storage problem though, which is much more of a problem.

    Advances in IT are easy, that's why they've happened. Advances in power generation are hard, that's why they haven't happened.

    We don't have the kind of batteries and capacitors that would be needed to store energy at off-peak times, when the sun isn't shining and the wind isn't blowing.

    Solar and wind can't do what nuclear does without the kind of capacitors/batteries that don't currently exist. And the French will be perfectly aware of that.

  17. £11+ million to keep a pair of cops in a car outside an embassy strikes me as excessive, but hey I'm not familiar with the intricacies of policing so I'm quite perpared to be wrong about it.

    You're not very persuasive, because your points are stupid. Sorry.

  21. It's £11.1M. That was released by Scotland Yard, who have the biggest cause to lie in the opposite direction because it's embarrasing for them.

  22. No corrupt cop with the rudiments of a sense of self-preservation would take a bribe pertaining to a high-profile character like that. There is literally no way you wouldn't get busted on it.
