Take care because it is common to get a lot more lift than advertised!

How does the IAEA detect uranium particles without being there? Or was this really Iran's error during a "limited access" scheduled inspection? If one zooms in close enough it seems likely to find a particle which appears highly enriched, even the others do not. It is difficult to imagine Iran...

I notice that while outside doing stuff, there is only so much you can legally do in order to try to be cooler, but it is pretty easy to add more layers in order to be warmer. So if you can not live on the beach in San Diego, then a place with snow is better.

Texas housing developers will make short work of wild or historical places, and turn them into millions of almost identical homes with black roofs.

Kiss another $4T goodbye to deal with the aftermath. It seems that we never learn!
