Uh, is, "a building burned down so we have to check your cladding to make sure people don't die" a question here? With more than one possible answer?

OwlFancier posted:I mean I guess I would probably set the target in the middle of the antarctic or something, something where, if you export it, it's not going to look like an aggressive attack if it goes off target. Wouldn't nuking the Antarctic have some pretty serious repercussions for human civilization?

Party Boat posted:Hey Coohoolin, not sure if this has already been posted but is this relevant to you? If they follow through on that and extend it to Swiss and Norwegian category citizens then yeah, that would make my life a lot easier. I'm keeping an eye on the headlines but at this point there's not much I can do except wait and see.

Rygar201 posted:Wouldn't nuking the Antarctic have some pretty serious repercussions for human civilization? Well it's an actual landmass so if you nuked a valley or something I doubt it would do much other than kill penguins. The water would refreeze before it hit the ocean. Given that most of the nuke having nations are northern hemisphere also it's probably the least threatening trajectory. Though I suppose you do run the risk of letting the shoggoths out.

JFairfax posted:Coohoolin isn't an EU national. He's Swiss lol Switzerland has access to the free travel area via bilateral agreements with the EU. I'd imagine UK policy wrt EU nationals will extend to bilaterals with Switzerland, but there might need to be a separate negotiation between the UK and Switzerland, Norway, etc.

I always wonder what they're for. I used to live near a psychiatric hospital, and when their fire alarms went off inside, it sounded like an air raid siren on the outside. I heard them all the time growing up. In the 80s. Ah, Cold War nightmares.

I agree, All Cats Are Beautiful goddamnedtwisto posted:e: Actually wasn't there a book or maybe a film with more or less that as an ending? The Americans accidentally nuke Moscow so they let the Soviets nuke New York? Also happens in The Third World War by General Sir John Hackett, where the west nukes Kiev (I think) and in return allows the Soviets to nuke Brum without escalation beyond that. The fact that this kind of thing is seen as a rational and reasonable exchange tells you much of what you need to know about nuclear policy.

I can only assume you must have taken a rather large amount of shrooms to come to that decision in the first place.

It leads to an end to the war as both sides are unwilling to escalate With all respect to Birmingham I don't know if any of the surviving parts of the country would be sufficiently upset about that to regard it as an effective show of force.

Guavanaut posted:They're to warn people of the general economic malaise of the Northern seaside town. I feel like Redcar had that happen long enough ago that they would have turned the sirens off by now. There's not much more you can do to the place. Also I figure the sea wall would probably be a better bomb shelter than most places up here.

Skinty McEdger posted:Well there's also the small detail that based on recent tests if they ever did fire one then it's more likely than not to ignore it's target and instead fly towards the USA. I was with Corbyn until this part, as a Pennsylvanian I'd likely be able to die in the nuclear hellfire you accidentally unleashed on us so I support Trident now. Save one for these dickheads though.

I really hope that, if a nuclear attack does happen, I get to die in the initial blast. I can think of nothing more terrible than dying slowly of radiation sickness or of several dozen cancers all at once.

Gradis posted:dunno i think they were shocked. at the quantity yes, but this is a festival which has long had a tradition of bottling off shite that they book on the Sunday if it's not punk or metal starting with first Bonnie Tyler then Meatloaf. Why this always happens, and always happened on the Sunday at Reading I have no loving idea. My Chemical Romance and Good Charlotte have gotten the same treatment, 50 Cent got it the absolute worst. Even Primal Scream got a shelling when booked on the Sunday. Of course, they've now tried to sanitise the main stage booking for Sundays so this doesn't happen any more

Also teaching is a pile of piss. "Those who can't do, teach" is what I say, and they get loads of school holidays so they basically do nothing for most of the year.
