       @johnquiggin 4) 2003 Iraq invasion did not engage in massive war crimes encouraged by leaders:- indiscriminate bombing- widespread rape- widespread torture of political suspects (yes there was torture by Intelligence units & Abu Ghraib)- deportations

       @Ard This reminds me of Mallacoota Dec 2019 - a friend was evacuated off the beach by navy ship after taking refuge in the cinema.

       @publius Converting hydrogen into methanol as a fuel for international shipping also seems a feasible process.

       @ColinTheMathmo Laziness (not wanting to do the same thing twice) used to be a virtue in a programmer.Unfortunately now they copy-paste vast slabs of code, making minor changes & creating a maintenance nightmare.

       Wow! 1980s Psychology professor to class with 1 black student:"He proclaimed that we were ranked intellectually with Asian people being more intelligent than whites and Blacks being more or less intelligent than white people."A student asked at that time, 'Is this always the case? Can we always guarantee that this will be the case?' And he then turned to the class and said there is some variation except if you are Black. If you are Black, you are genetically inferior and intellectually inferior to all other races."The arrogance, inhumanity & this is a meaningless statement "you are genetically inferior and intellectually inferior to all other races." https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/london/black-student-never-got-apology-philippe-rushton-teachings-1.5657024

       Massive flat, misshapen mushrooms emerged in our garden overnight on Thursday night! They've made a hole about 8cm deep.#MelbourneGardening #mushrooms

       @kravietz Hah! Propaganda. A 10g enriched uranium pellet has a substantial amount of CO2 emissions embedded in it: Mining, refining & isotope enrichment all use substantial energy & much of the mining energy is fuel, not electricity.Dispatchability of nuclear power is limited - it can't switch off & on again in a short time & its economics depend on running near full capacity all the time.
