Right, because you forsee no reason that you'd ever want to protest the government.

Just because you don't agree with this instance of protesting, you think cracking down on protest in general is ok?

Except that's not true.

An imperial fluid ounce is 1⁄20 of an imperial pint, 1⁄160 of an imperial gallon or exactly 28.4130625 mL.

US customary fluid ounce is 1⁄16 of a US liquid pint and 1⁄128 of a US liquid gallon or exactly 29.5735295625 mL, making it about 4.08% larger than the imperial fluid ounce.

US food labeling fluid ounce is exactly 30 mL.

So we have 28.4g, 29.6g or 30g of water. An ounce is 28.3g (closest to the imperial measures and neither of the US ones, despite the ounce being common to imperial and US systems)

What is the use of a singular machine like this? Isn't it far better to have 50 less capable machines at different institutions. At $20 million each they'd still be impressive.

(I know it's not really a singular machine, but the question stands).

Camacho was a good president. He listened to Not Sure (eventually).

Does anybody have an article that details the existing situation and the changes the bill would make? That article was completely void of content.

Investments in nuclear power are not taking money away from investments in solar.

This is interesting. Why do you think that?

I would disagree, because is see investment capital as finite. There are only so many investors able to operate at infrastructure scales. And therefore I see nuclear's true cost as opportunity cost.

In the UK and a city? Probably Liverpool and because of The Beatles.

A Town? Well it certainly used to be Lockerbie where Pan-Am flight 103 crashed after a terrorist bombing just before Christmas 1988. It was on it's way from London to New York.

Probably not known by the younger generations though.

The land thing isn't anywhere near enough of a concern for me, especially when dual uses of land are quite feasible.

24/7 is just about over commissioning and having storage. Build 10x as much and store what you generate. At those sorts of levels even an overcast day generates.

Storage. It's all about storage. In exactly the same way that our water is handled. We have reservoirs to handle the times when natural water supply is low.

You're using factors of less than 10 to argue against a factor of 100.
