Congratulations University of Edinburgh: your insane repressive and submissive anti free speech SJW appeasement policies have made Int'l news

'Mini' nuclear reactors could help solve Britain's energy crunch and cut a third off bills, ministers hope .

@Pcar "Ireland contributes more money than it gets to EU for first time; Friday 8 September 2017."#1 Twitter does not say that news was ever confirmed.
#2 Certainly accepted that when UK leaves, Eire will be asked to pay more in.

Not on twitter does not mean not true - it may not have been tweeted, or it may be shadow banned/censored.

thanks - well, I got the quantity near enough....
The minor league Faustian pact that users enter into with Facebook (and Google for that matter) is seeming like less of a good deal as time passes (as these deals have a way of doing) - what once could have been written off as peripheral detail or amusing diversion is being weaponised by the corporate nomenklatura of the tech giants in what I'm guessing is the third wave of hires find their stride.
Wave 1 - founders / original ideas
Wave 2 - implementers and developers of founders things
Wave 3 - apparatchiks climbing aboard the gravy train
TinyCO2 - if only - the third wave are the busybodies.....
Facebook might just become the new MySpace - but since they seem to feed mostly on narcissism there's a way to go. Zuckerberg and a sample FB user

Is there a MYOFB?

Tomo - the link to Facebook's new gender bollocks was messed up - here it is: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/facebook/10930654/Facebooks-71-gender-options-come-to-UK-users.html
I notice they don't yet have a catagory for 'otherkins' (yes, it is now possible to be completely off the gender spectrum, as apparently there are people who identify as non-human - search youtube for the brilliant Mark Steyn - Jordan Peterson interview).
They also missed the one I most identify with which is 'transfat' - people who like to think they are thin but are actually trapped inside a fat body. (okay the last one's a joke, but otherkins are real, in Canada at least).

tomo, there also seems to be a shortage of information from homeowners making sufficient solar electricity from their panels, to pay back "their investment", or more accurately, "taxpayers compulsory investment".
As a yottie, I am NOT anti wind and solar generation, provided there is a reliable means of generation. "Free" electricity is more expensive than taxpayers realise, especially when no amount of money can buy more "free" electricity, if there isn't any.
