Is the moderator something that would go away when everything melts, or is it something that would fall down in the pool of unevenly mixed material we're talking about? Because we're not talking about pure uranium, we're talking about a mess.
Ok, they were cooling the reactor with water, and water is a moderator, but the water was also boronated
They were dumping sea water scooped up from helicopters on the damn things, and you think they were stopping in mid-air to add some boron?
There's good faith duties to perform before letting someone drive off with your car, such as making sure they have a valid driver's license, the injured party could argue that the renter was obviously a danger to themselves and to others and shouldn't have been allowed to drive, etc.
Rental companies are clearly potential defendants when their equipment causes damage. They're not always at fault, but they have the potential to be.
They've essentially armed someone with a dangerous weapon. There are plenty of reasons like this that would make the agency potentially liable
Seriously, from "you let THAT guy drive one of your cars?" to "you ignored WHAT warning light for HOW LONG?", there's a ton of reasons why a car rental company could be liable if their car injures someone.
So I stopped reading there, because I can't imagine the rest of that tl;dr would have been less ignorant.
Just because something turned out to be false doesn't mean it was a deliberate lie. Multiple countries' intelligence agencies agreed with the CIA assessment.
Someone needs to spend more time on wikileaks. Those countries were playing yesmen to earn rewards. Others weren't; France said that they would analyze any weapons claimed to be found in Iraq to make sure they were genuine, for instance.
That you can't see the difference between bad science (we were reasonably sure that Saddam had something bad, but we were wrong) and a deliberate hoax (pretending Saddam had something if we knew otherwise because it fit an agenda)
If he had weapons of mass destruction, the U.S. wouldn't have attacked. See North Korea.
Libya made a deal with Bush to get rid of its WMDs, see where it got them: Bombed.
Time to start "migrating" them to other storage mediums then.
You know what, I think I should do that before the government passes laws making that illegal. They've been trying to, I don't think the opposition will keep them at bay forever.
if your DVDs are stored in proper conditions you will most certainly be able to read them in 30 years
My DVD collection has slowly started to die on me. There is nothing visibly wrong with the discs that give me "disc read error", they were in their box on the shelf next to the ones that didn't die... but I don't expect the rest to last forever anymore.
Of course the brand of watch is only one factor of many, many pieces of information that is part of the analysis of these people. If it is given due weight, not too much, and not too little, it is perfectly reasonable.
In the case of Toy Story the 3D information is already there, 2D is "the wrong way" to view it.
When making a "3D" animation, a lot of things are actually 2D backdrops to save on render time. People overestimate the simulation aspect and underestimate the showmanship of computer graphics.

Yes it is.

Nope, around here no bar banned cigarettes before they were forced to by law. In fact they bitched and moaned that no bar could do business without allowing cigarettes, they saif the whole industry would collapse, blblabla. Turns out they were wrong.
cheering the government for stopping smoking at places you do not patronize.
No, you stupid son of a bitch. The government stopped smoking inside places I do patronize, and now my pillow doesn't smell like an ash tray the next morning. If you weren't borm of a syphilitic whore, you would be able to understand that.
Never quite understood the outrage over police brutality. If it's a question between a cop punching me and letting me go, or arresting me and keeping me overnight, I'll go with the punch.
The video showed Tomlinson being struck on the leg from behind by a police officer wielding a baton, then pushed to the ground by the same officer. It appeared to show no provocation on Tomlinson's partâ"he was not a protester, and at the time he was struck, the footage showed him walking along with his hands in his pockets. He walked away after the incident, but collapsed and died moments later.
And speaking of "parent," let's not forget the damage that happens to them through "undesirable care,"
Like the guy you replied to, my dead DVDs didn't have s scratch on 'em, and I tried different players. No dice.
It's quite frustrating, because I take care of my things. I have old books that I've read many times and they look like new, I expected to enjoy my discs as long as I took good care of them.
Until my DVDs started to give me disc read errors. I'm tired of wasting money on planned obsolescence, I'm not replacing that collection with BluRays just to have them crap out on me in 5 years. Anyway, a better format will be out by then... I'm skipping this cycle.

Why were you going into bars and restaurants where people smoked, if you found it so unpleasant?
Because those were 100% of bars and restaurants before laws were passed to change the situation.
To its initial goals of safeguarding peace, protecting human rights, establishing the framework for international justice and promoting economic and social progress, in the six and a half decades since its creation the United Nations has added on new challenges, such as climate change, international terrorism and AIDS. While conflict resolution and peacekeeping continue to be among its most visible efforts, the UN, along with its specialized agencies, is also engaged in a wide array of activities to improve peopleâ(TM)s lives around the world â" from disaster relief, through education and advancement of women, to peaceful uses of atomic energy.

No. But that begs the question: What exactly would you imagine them to be doing in those searches? Screening people for signs of being Jesus? "Show me your feet, Jesus has feet like precious metal... hmm, no, not shiny, ordinary smelly flesh... move along"?
Abnormally high radioactivity was first detected on a ship that arrived from Japan at the southeast port of Xiamen on March 22.
Two Japanese travellers were briefly hospitalised the next day with elevated radiation levels after arriving in eastern China on a commercial airliner from Tokyo. Their clothing and luggage was destroyed.
Not destroying your luggage: 60 dollars ($50 if paid at least 24 hours before check-in).

The kid is good at math, people confuse that with being "smart" or "intelligent" or "genius", which are things that they imagine to mean "good at everything". But I think he's just good at math, the way other autistic types are good only at line drawing.

It's a solar powered hotplate that uses steam. It has a commercial autoclave sitting on the hotplate.
They didn't invent a sterilizer, they invented a way to power existing ones.

wikileaks grows up and realizes they are endangering lives
The only life they seem to have endangered to date is Ossama Bin Laden's.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_detainees_accused_of_possessing_Casio_F91W_watches
it's not the reason they arrested them
It sometimes was:
"In a handful of cases the detainee's possession of a Casio watch or the wearing olive-drab clothing is cited as evidence that the detainee is an enemy combatant. No basis is given to explain why such evidence makes the detainee an enemy combatant."

money invested in controlling holy lands
Fighting over resources is not an act of faith.
The difference between faith and science is that there are teams looking for proof of the higs boson, they aren't betting taking belief for granted.
And birth control can cause heart attack or stroke, which tends to support the GP's call for caution.
