Slovakia is about, if not already launched its only nuclear reactor which has been gathering (radioactive?) dust since the Soviet Era, which technically goes against their EU membership agreements.
But it's sure better than freezing to death without Russian gas... imo.
Assessing the interest this post generated by the rank ranges, I dare not make predictions how well Solaris will sell once in Wall*Mart (provided WallMart still exists when that happens...)
(Thanks, I'll be here all week [as a piñata]).
Now all they need to do is figure out how to make that much water airborne in case of forest fires.
Of course targeting the root of the problem would yield much better results (on all timescales).
(Potential flaimbait -100%).

Would be two birds - one shot gun - that would get the 'unidentified party' one extra SCAT episode practically free... as in... well.
Think about turning lemon into juice...
Why does does this kind of news always have to come in on the day. I mean, put it in the hose on Monday, so that at least gives us time to prepare some Molotovs, voodoo dolls (for the extravagant lot), and stock up on the uppers.
You don't have clients walk up to you on the day to tell you they want the project delivered immediately, or else. OK, maybe they do...
Still - that's no excuse!
OSSD (Open Source Spaceship Design) anyone? Could throw up a solid, reusable ship for 1/100 the cost AND on time! (There's plenty of concepts around the net if you look, surely). Except that would be way too economically viable.
The clumps of dark matter in the simulation have densities that are remarkably similar to densities that a University of California, Irvine research group found when simulating the formation of the Milky Way
They must have learned something about code reusability in university.
Organic material coming here on comets and meteorites is perfectly plausible. But life coming from outside the solar system seems to be quite unlikely.
There was some paper released last year showing that gene degradation when exposed to cosmic rays happens at an astonishing rate. When compared to how long it would take a piece of rock to travel from even the nearest star, it just looks to be implausible at best. Not only that, it would assume that the life would be able to survive the impact and either be compatible, or adapt from the rock/ice quickly to the earth.
Even if panspermia was a viable idea, it would only say something about where life arose. It doesn't answer the question of how life arose. But if it arose here, then it would be easier to find the how. If life arose elsewhere, then we wouldn't know I don't completely agree.
Seeing that the nucleobases were found within the meteorite unaltered suggests that its (partly metallic) structure can successfully protect organic materials from degradation without the protective effect of an atmosphere.
Either way, seeing how life has flourished in and around Chernobyl it can be only concluded that ionizing radiation is but good for you!
Cheers and beers

Germans are about as extraverted as it gets. I remember a couple from school who didn't even bother going in the bushes to smoke...

You don't need to read the label on a $0.35 chocolate bar to figure out it's made of 3% chocolate, 60% fat, 20% lecithin, and 27% wrapping.
For an example of A-programming skills you should try NextStep.
I can see this featured in the next Weird Al video.

That's sick, dude...
