Narayama Murthy was a mistake.

Tens of thousands of radioactive fuel fragments escaped from the Dounreay plant between 1963 and 1984, polluting local beaches, the coastline and the seabed. Fishing has been banned within a two-kilometre radius of the plant since 1997.

Since 2008, over 2,300 radioactive particles have been recovered from the seabed, with 351 removed by a remotely operated underwater vehicle this summer.

The most radioactive of the particles are regarded by experts as potentially lethal if ingested. Similar in size to grains of sand, they contain caesium-137, which has a half-life of 30 years, but they can also incorporate traces of plutonium-239, which has a half-life of over 24,000 years...

The plant's operator at the time, the UK Atomic Energy Authority, was fined £140,000.

Oh that'll teach em.

I still think we should replace much of our fossil-fuel energy with nuclear, but let's never call it "green." Energy comes at an extremely high cost. This kind of thing makes it hard to advocate for nuclear (although I think we have safer methods now).

That's really amazing. Their joke article was hilarious even as a joke. But the fact that they really bought it is beautiful.

I thought that was a joke. But regular news sites are running the story. So maybe it's real?

Best answer yet IMO. The cohesive experience is essential to the branding, and low threshold for entry.

Imagine if there were two twitters, and you only sign up for one but you can read and comment on posts for both.

Now imagine if anybody can install their own Twitter, and anybody else can sign up on either one, and they can all talk to each other like that.

Star power. High production values. Less complex (appears to be more centralized, immediately easy to conceptualize as "twitter but not right wing")

I forgive them. English is a complex beast.

You're not stuck with it Anon. You can use something different!

I like how straight-forward the syntax is. And it also seems orderly to have everything be a class. There's a system to it.

I'm using C++ for a project now and I like it in a similar way, but there's more freedom (everything doesn't HAVE to be a class). So with C++ I'll never go back to Java (unless it's for a job).

It sure do.
