I see the military for what they are: generally unintelligent grunts who sign their lives away to the State. I have no love for patriots who want to die for their country.
In saying that, no matter what those grunts are like, I have immutable respect for the individuals willing to enter service and kill for my security. I may not like a lot of them as people, but they're doing an unfortunately necessary job in combating Islamic Nazis and genocidal maniacs. 11735

Serious / Ocean fertilisation, global warming and fish« on: October 26, 2014, 11:33:32 AM »
Back in 2012 the Guardian reported a story in which the Canadian government was supposedly aware of the plans of American businessmen to dump 120 tonnes of iron sulphate in the Pacific just off the coast, and allowed it to go ahead.
The dumping of iron sulphate into the ocean caused an algae boom of about 10,000 sqaure miles. Consequently, it also caused the largest pink salmon run in 50 years, and 2013 was the second most valuable year of salmon harvests on record, exceeded only in 1988. This is amazing at a time when the fish population is threatened by both economics and acidification of the oceans, not to mention the cost of dumping iron sulphate in comparison to the profit reaped by the subsequent algae and fish booms. Not to mention, the process of iron fertilisation can help us to slow down the process of climate change, by virtue of algae-driven photosynthesis. 11739

The Flood / Well, just spent four hours in my local hospital« on: October 25, 2014, 10:57:58 PM »
Just sped off to the A&E after my chest pain got worse, I feel light headed and started getting a cold sweat. Got seen almost immediately, had an ECG, an X-ray and the doc had a go on his stethoscope.
Everything seemed normal, so it wasn't a problem with my heart. The doctor said it was probably an issue with the lining of my chest or my lungs, with a bit of anxiety for good measure. I was also reading r/nosleep at the time, so that probably had its own influence. Good way to spend the first few hours of my Sunday morning. 11749

Sense has taken hold in the British Isles; Labour is no longer in the lead.
The Conservatives and Labour are tied at 33pc, a gain of 5pc and loss of 2pc respectively. Liberal Democrats are on 6pc, a loss of 3pc. UKIP are on 18pc, a gain of 1pc and the Greens are on 4pc, which represents no change. 11753

While I'm generally opposed to fiscal stimulus or extensive tax-and-spend policies, it's quite clear that a reasonable and intelligent policy for government expenditure can create economic growth. For instance, on every dollar spent on physical infrastructure, $1.92 is returned.
Politics seems to be heading in an increasingly polarised direction. There does exist a position where government activities can be beneficial, and austerity (which is a big thing in the U.K.) can be harmful. /funfact Spoiler Discuss government expenditure, and its (de)merits. |
