The concern is probably not a nuclear *explosion*, but if there’s a Rapid Unscheduled Disassembly between launch and orbit, you get an enormous cloud of vapourised enriched nuclear material spreading through the atmosphere. I believe that’s why they stopped launching passive nuclear thermal generators - no-one wants…

A man who has never faced a consequence worse than being sent to bed without dessert preaching the gospel of ‘ignore the consequences of what you do’ to an audience of people whose lives are wrecked constantly for ignoring the consequences of what they do.

In Rinke’s Michigan,12-year-olds would be free to *be* construction workers, and their employers would be free from safety and working-time red tape!

So much for the separation of Church and State. Grounds for an appeal? White male judge prays to white male god for guidance on the sentencing of white male criminal.

I don’t know what the cost-per-vote is, but I doubt I’m rich enough to buy enough to win.

It doesn’t mean anything - right wing trolls have abandoned the idea that words have actual meanings, but are just symbols of provocation.

Should’ve moved to Canada, where they recognise the the truth - that the UK has the highest standard of driving in the world, and therefore a UK driving licence supercedes any piffling colonial token.

“You’re the tenth person I’ve told today, there’s no demand for it!”

Indeed, they can hold the labour force to standards so stringent that Amazon warehouses could only dream of them.

I’ve enjoyed Friday and Tyler doing their acoustic set in my local coffee shop most Thursdays for the last eighteen months or so. I’m a bit surprised to hear them going rap, but it’s a big step up in audience.

I guess the one feature I’ve seen in a Bond car that I’d like in my own life...

You’d hope the task force could hire at least one Internet-savvy teenager who could tap them into the social media where this stuff is getting organized... I really doubt all of those people spontaneously and individually decided to go there at the same time. Go after the leaders, I say.

How does that explain vehicle-on-vehicle accidents? Surely, the logic follows that, if one vehicle can hit another in the blink of an eye, vehicles should also be banned from the road? After all, oncoming cars have a much higher closing speed than cyclists.

If it’s a blind bend, then the rule is, if you can’t stop within the distance you can see, slow the F down until you can. There could be a tractor doing 10 mph, a disabled car, or a washing machine that fell off a pickup truck in your lane - the speed or road positioning of the cyclists is completely irrelevant.

It’s also possible that cyclists fit a certain political stereotype, from a cop point of view.

It’s a good thing she did the ten seconds of research necessary to find out that the name Lucifer comes from the Latin for ‘Light Bringer’, so the medieval fan-fic character is effectively named after the chemical process, rather than the other way about. Otherwise, she’d look silly and poorly-educated!

Some feel that Diana was hardly an intellectual fireball, whose special skill was standing around looking concerned or happy as the occasion required.

You’re calling for (a) Di-Verse-ity in Hollywood?

You’re applying for a job that doesn’t exist anymore, however good you'd have been at it. Imagine proof-reading something thumbed out by an intern in a coffee-shop lineup, intended to get a quota of clicks then be forgotten within hours :-(

It’s like you haven’t even *seen* any impossibly-stylish 70's Italian crime thrillers: “La Contessa will surely be pleased with today’s haul, Luigi! Perhaps she will share her favours with us in an ill-lit soft focus bath scene.”
