Hivemind request: for something I'm writing, can you tell me the ways in which - barring the huge one of not enough housing - young people feel stiffed today? I'm thinking more of specific policies than 'the climate is bad now' but All Contributions Gratefully Received!

@DrPhilEd @UoMMaterials Yes please! Although I think I need another week before I stop occasionally tasting margaritas still!

@DrPhilEd That's genuinely painful. What's worse is that it must have been accepted by the reviewers! 🤯

I know it is Friday and my Brian isn't working optimally, but I just read a paper in which the authors referred to a length as 10^(-0.5) m and my brain cannot compute this. Why, just why would anyone refer to a length like this!! For interest, this equates to 0.316m.

@Schreiberland I've been to Love Land as part of a Nuclear Graphite conference on the island. I was on top of a 50m concrete penis for a photo when a 5 year old climbed up to see what was up there - one of the weirdest days of my life!

@BritishGas She called that number, they said if the supply is off to the house there’s nothing they can do and it’s on the supplier.

@BritishGasHelp my disabled mum has been unable to get hold of anybody since 7pm last night. No gas to her house following work outside and it’s below freezing. How can she speak to somebody?!

@BritishGasHelp No idea, as I say she’s disabled so can’t get out of the house to check easily. She’s been on hold this morning for 90 mins, after giving up last night in the early hours.

I bloody love Twitter and hope to stay, making stupid jokes, as long as it lasts. If the site does ever break I will return to the true mothersite, MSN Messenger, and individually add all of you as contacts

@dcrainmakerblog any idea what the odds are that the Venu2 goes on sale for black friday and/or an update is released? Thinking of swapping from an Apple Watch 6, and don't want to feel silly in a couple of weeks. It's £259 in the UK at the moment.

@OverShape @garybrannan No it really wouldn't. I suspect you are confusing the use of a Molten Salt Reactor with a thorium fuel cycle (the two are often presented together). They're absolutely separate things, and the MSR concept is decades away in practice.

@William75537543 @garybrannan No reactors produce weapons grade plutonium, certainly not commercial ones. Some Pu is made in any reactor (it's the result of a near-miss fission event essentially) but needs to be stripped out of the fuel to be used in any kind of weapon!

@garybrannan While you're at it, can we also switch to modern nuclear reactors for nuclear power stations that don't produce weapons-grade plutonium and also don't produce much waste?

At last I have this little neat monitor calibrated. Will do some field tests during two client site visits this week. GM compensated. Up to 100 mSv/h. Good for 40 KeV and above. #radiation
