no you see, fossil fuel facilities also suffered massive catastrophic damage and spread pollution all over the place as a result, while only one nuclear plant had any problems at all, but atoms are scary so let's ban them and build more fossil fuel poo poo

yeah when we've dealt with coal plants i'll start to consider alternatives to nuclear but until then no.

�Of course, Ankh-Morpork's citizens had always claimed that the river water was incredibly pure. Any water that had passed through so many kidneys, they reasoned, had to be very pure indeed.�

quote:

Plummeting through an Instagram hashtag wormhole, we stumbled across this four-day-old photo of, the photographer says, the home of a Palo Alto resident who "trucked in snow for her holiday party last night."
"Oh, Marissa," one commenter to the photo responds. Perhaps an implication that the snow-baller is Yahoo CEO/Scathing Profile Subject Marissa Mayer, who owns multiple properties in Palo Alto?
It almost doesn't matter. (Almost.) The fact is, on the same week that Palo Alto got inches upon inches of rain, someone still decked their halls with a shitton of snow, then, as if that weren't enough, arranged a bunch of white-upholstered couches outside, elements be damned. That's some serious chutzpah.
