I'd be up for that, we could make it work with some kind of Besźel type arrangement. edit: On this day in 1990, the terrorist Nelson Mandela was freed from prison on a technicality. tooterfish fucked around with this message at 18:56 on Feb 11, 2016 |

Re this gravity business: if the experiment measures ridiculously minuscule variations in reflections of light I'm just as intrigued and impressed by what must be the incredible engineering feat necessary to build such a stable apparatus that (i guess?) needed to be totally isolated from natual vibrations in the earth in order to detect these teeny tiny vibrations only.

And yes, you have to scrub out as much external noise as you can. So that includes seismic rumbles, traffic noise, trees falling in the forest, quarry blasting, and supposedly even hurricanes battering the coast, even though the detector is hundreds of miles inland. That's one reason that people are building the LISA satellite - space is much quieter than Earth, so it makes for a better observing environment. Plus you can have detector arms a million kilometres long instead of four. *They laser pulses actually get bounced up and down 100-400 times, but that's the basic idea.

So far 9 out of 20 NHS CEOs have publicly said - mostly on Twitter- that they support the terms of the contract but don't support imposition of it, despite a great many of those 20 saying they wanted the government to force it through "by any means necessary". Peculiar.

The other 11 are definitely keeping them.

So I only just learned today, from telly no less, that Wales is now a soft opt-out for organ donation. About loving time. Maybe the junior doctors will flock here and we can outlive the Tory bastards with out plentiful organs and superior doctors.

Same basic deal as Trump's idea to freeze Muslim immigration "until our guys can figure out just what the heck is going on", as if the motivations of ISIS (and those of the 9/11 hijackers) are a complete mystery. It's fine, see! He's not biased, he's just asking questions!

Come join us on IRC tonight for Question Time, in which we call everyone bastards as usual. Find out the details yourselves, I'm not your mother. Tonight it is in Llanelli, which I'm looking forward to Peter Dimbly loving up the pronunciation of. For those not accustomed to Wales and our uninteresting politics, Wales is currently ran by the Labour controlled Welsh Assembly on devolved manners though it has some proportional representation candidates meaning UKIP and the Lib Dems can actually get seats here. The welsh assembly elections are next May, but expect all the questions to be about the EU referendum anyway because that's what Question Time is now. Wales doesn't have a Doctor's Strike on because our NHS isn't run by a total Jeremy Hunt, which means it's pretty unlikely to come up and if it does it'll be a chance for Labour to point out how poo poo the Conservatives are.  Stephen Crabb. Conservative Secretary of State for Wales. Hang on you say, isn't the National Assembly Labour controlled? Well yes, but we still have the Welsh Office that once used to be the way the government ran Wales back when the Welsh Assembly didn't exist. Now they handle anything the Welsh Assembly hasn't had devolved to it and is thus still run by the Tories. They don't actually do much. For a Tory Stephen Crabb seems the all right sort, though I am prepared to eat my words if he turns out to be a massive Jeremy Hunt tonight. Carwyn Jones. Labour First Minister of Wales. Basically the PM for Wales. He joined Labour during the Miner's Strike and thus his Labour credentials in Wales is above question He's a member of the Fabian society but unlike most of the Fabian's he doesn't act like a Jeremy Hunt about Corbyn and even seems to get along with him. He's been pretty good at his job and expect him to talk about how unlike England, Wales didn't gently caress over their Social Services if the NHS is brought up. A good egg. Nigel Farage. I don't think he's Welsh? I don't know why he's here. gently caress off back to where you came from Nigel, Wales is full. Leanne Wood. Leader of Plaid Cymru. UKMT had a crush on her last year in the General Election, due to her sexy anti-austerity position and calling the queen Ms. Windsor. Occasionally calls for Welsh Independence, but everyone ignores them when they do it because unlike the Scottish, Wales really isn't up for that. Romesh Ranganathan. Presumably here purely to annoy Farage.
