That's because Fukushima is not pouring irradiated water out anywhere. The frozen earth barrier that is supposed to prevent leakage into groundwater is not 100% effective, but the amount of radionuclide transport is low and slow. The reason Fukushima is not in the news is because it is boring. Very small increase in exposure, Fukushima fish regularly tested and back on the market, slow, painstaking and dull process of decommissioning and decontamination underway - it's not exactly going to light up the headlines.

Not a huge fan, to be honest. When I was a kid, love him. But then I discovered Douglas Adams, Frank Herbert, then on to William Gibson, then there was no going back to 'straight' SF. Not that I'm dissing the man, don't get me wrong. But the whole cyberpunk thing made me like my SF... dirty.

If anyone's trapped in that customer/service provider power relationship, a good tactic is strategic partial deafness. "I'm sorry, sir, I didn't quite catch that. What did you say you need?" Very politely, clearly, and slightly louder than normal speech, with a slightly puzzled smile. If he repeats it, mishear again. "You need some foossy? I'm not sure what you're asking for. Would you like me to get a manager to help you?" Just a little louder, still smiling. Repeat as required. They either get embarrassed or get a bunch of negative attention, and you come out golden.

Attacks on Reality (as Confirmed by Science)

MrBeelzeebubbles comments on Feb 16, 2019:

I reckon one of the big problems is school league tables. If schools are rated on test performance, then there is a huge pressure to 'teach the test'. The examinable content is mashed into student's brains, at the expense of any deeper understanding of the subject at hand. So a student can recite 'the mitochondria are the powerhouse of the cell' and 'the kidneys produce urine' and still buy crap from GOOP because they have no understanding of how metabolism and the removal of waste actually works. That, and the way journalism and journals work in diametrically opposed ways.

Don't Tell Your Mother.... What's your "don't tell your mother" story?

MrBeelzeebubbles comments on Jun 27, 2019:

My brother and I had a pretty fraught relationship growing up, but we were both terrified of my dad. When I was about 7 and he was 10, he was playing golf with a practice ball in the back yard, and I was pretending to be a turtle, crawling around with a clothes basket on my back and the peg bucket on my head, generally getting in his easy and being a pain in the bum. So he thought it would be a good idea to whack the bucket with his golf club. Cue screaming, blood all over my face, a serious egg on my forehead and frantic begging. "Don't tell dad, oh god don't tell dad, please, please don't tell dad..." So I made up a cock and bull story about falling over (I was a clumsy kid, so completely believable), kept shtum and blackmailed my brother into compliance for three months until my big mouthed little sister got wind of the truth and blew the whole gaff. Most rewarding head injury I ever had.
