Arguably the most poisonous of all fungi, along with the death cap:
- Comment on Cleopatra lived closer to us in time than the pyramids 2 weeks ago:
Considering that her dad married his niece, and that her dad’s great-great-grandparents were all the same two people, her name is one of the last weird things about her family.
Fair play to Cleo VII; she introduced more fresh genes into her family bloodline than anyone had in generations. Four kids by two dads, you go girl.
- Comment on [Discussion] New ‘Ghost In The Shell’ Anime Is Gloriously Goofy And Very Faithful To The Manga 2 months ago:
I think the manga starts off really goofy and then gets more serious when it finds its feet. She becomes lots more serious after merging with the Puppet Master, which isn’t so significant in other adaptions, since she’s so serious before as well.
The 1995 anime reorders the plot of the manga a little so that it’s one big story, which to me is an improvement over the “disconnected vignette” style of the original. I wouldn’t want an adaption of that…
- Comment on The UK officially closes its last remaining coal power plant 1 year ago:
Yeah, but from the two billion tonnes a year of steel that’s produced, about five percent is carbon added to iron, and about half of that remains in the final product, so that’s about fifty million tonnes released to atmosphere. Whereas about three and a half billion tonnes of coal was burned for power, and that all ends up in the air. A seventy-fold reduction is quite significant; means we can selectively close the higher-sulfur-content mines for an even better improvement in air quality.
