You can bullshit around the insurrection label, but the term limit is pretty cut and dry. Not going to stop them, but the ramp is how we got here.

She has RAM, get her!

When things go really wrong they go really really wrong, but that doesn't change the statistical risk. Radiation is viscerally scary because you can't see it, but you're way more likely to get hit by a bus or die in a cloud of anhydrous ammonia or something similarly nasty.

Plus things have only gone really wrong once, and that's Chernobyl. Fukushima Daiichi got hit by an earthquake, and then a tsunami, and lost auxiliary power. The plant's containment held. Estimates for cancer rates were something like 100 additional cases globally. Nobody got acute radiation poisoning, nobody got sick. The panic killed more people than the disaster. Which is kind of a microcosm of our broader relationship to nuclear power: the fear of what could go wrong caused us to stick with technologies that we know kill people. The Keystone coal power plant kills more people than the Fukushima disaster did, and that's for normal operation of the plant after they installed scrubbers

anyway if you're still reading I love your work keep it up

Meh, it's cartoon logic. I mean maybe the joke would have been improved for you and I if it was a Union Carbide plant but let's be real the Bhopal disaster doesn't get nearly as much attention as it deserves because nobody knows what the fuck methyl isocyanate is.

of course she does

For me its power + volume up

If it's stupid but it works it's still stupid and you're lucky

It occurs to me that st some point this joke is going to flip

Well I think it's funny. But we're all also strangers on the internet. Your husband will know his coworkers sense of humor better than us.

i would lime some of whatever you're taking

If its not made of Chêne de Normandie its not a guillotine, it's just a sparkling sliceyboi.
