For the numbers, 2, 8, 20, 28, 50, 82, and 126, an atomic nucleus with this many protons is or is predicted to belong to an island of stability. Although there has been no experimental discovery of unbihexium, it might exist with a long enough half life that it could be detected.

Yeah I need to go back to it too (I got to the second day) but it sounds like there's loads of free content being added - not least of all full VA for the whole thing - so I'm holding back before I start a fresh save.

Is the book the guy is writing/has written getting translated? Sainsbury's last night was fairly quiet at that point and had fully stocked shelves except for stuff like carrots but they had those out just not put onto the shelves yet. Despite being entirely unable to both afford or be able to eat a whole goose I was tempted to get one

the small inner city tescos and sainsburys near me have been quiet and fully stocked all yesterday and today. I think the lack of any parking discourages stockpile shopping since you're limited to buying what you can physically carry and get home with

Delivery people shouldn't be allowed to drop off packages with neighbours, and definitely shouldn't knock on my door to ask when they themselves are clearly ill (with what looks like a normal, streaming cold. No mask). They should also be better paid.

Remember how disengaged and uninformed about politics the average voter is? Remember that, on average, half of voters are MORE ignorant than that? Us wierdos who actually follow and pay attention to the governments fuckups are in the minority. It's supposed to be the job of journalists to take this information and turn it into news for the public to consume, but the journalistic class is in bed with the Tories anyways so don't give a gently caress about actually taking their friends to task.

The key tenet of neoliberalism is that problems don't exist any more, and governments will never have to respond to anything more than the demands of megacorporations.

If you're not obsessed with the news like us lot are, then what you see is: -The Prime Minister doing Prime Ministerial things on telly -The newspapers largely supporting him -Your kids are in school (most of the time) -Up until Saturday you were having a 'normal' Christmas And the only opposition leader is saying get your kids out of school, don't have Christmas, new national lockdown so you can't go out. Why would the public not support Johnson? They're not being told anything different.

Magnum Carte D'Or just hits me in the right spot. Some 'good' news on the rona front quote:Other countries may have the variant as well, says epidemiologist William Hanage of the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health; the United Kingdom may have just picked it up first because it has the most sophisticated SARS-CoV-2 genomic monitoring in the world. Many countries have little or no sequencing. This seems in spite of the government not because of it.

its just most people think whatever section of the media they consume is more or less factual, otherwise whats the point in it? likewise they tend to assume that politicians know more than them and are very smart, otherwise why would they be there? and they assume that if someone did something really bad and wrong it wouldn't be allowed, so its basically dramatic to say the government is corrupt or negligent or whatever, since obviously they cant be or someone would have done something about it.

How is it not the first thing that comes to mind, that it is going to be detected first in one place and that’s much more likely to be linked to testing rather than where it originated - and we know this stuff spreads too quickly to isolate immediately anyway. It’s also incredibly frustrating because the action that France etc are taking is more likely to slow down the speed that this things are reported than speed them up. Why risk being cut off from the world because you reported first? Wait for someone else to do it first.

It is incredibly frustrating but it's our government's fault. They went out to the world with the message that this new and incredibly transmissible strain has arisen in Britain, and the EU has already acknowledged that they were responding to the sentiment from our leaders not their own evidence. Now we're in this intractable situation where the barriers have gone up and they won't come down because everyone thinks the UK is plague island. Hancock going on tv and saying it was "out of control" went round the world and has hosed us beyond belief.
