Dr John Money, one of the original proponents of gender being a social construct. To prove it, he took an eight month old who lost his penis to a botched circumcision and made him grow up as a girl, whilst making that person perform sexual acts with their twin brother. Unsurprisingly he committed suicide after a lifetime of bullying and depression.

The difficulty is that the problem is so huge, and the life of a presidency or parliament so short, that nobody wants to be, or, yet, needs to be, the one to start a very expensive journey that will prejudice their immediate achievement and legacy.Even if the guy who wrote the article was only 25% correct in his facts that's an unbelievable problem building up
But it NEEDS to be done. And fairly soon.

Off the back of it, this is quite an interesting read about storing waste and how to stop someone accidently digging it up in the next 10,000 years

that's so messed up
surely this is where the Republican party should have plans in place? when he's the official candidate they need to be clear about what jobs need to be filled, with or without his approval
I dunno but you'd think that the Republican party would have plans in place but it wasn't the typical Republicans choice who made it across the line so I think some people might have taken half a step backwards at the right time. I understand that a change in government might have some effects on the top appointments in some government bodies but it does seem a bit extreme in the US. There must be plenty of jobs there if people can just walk away from what appears to be a open ended appointment (i.e. not fixed term) because no one has told them they shouldn't be there!surely this is where the Republican party should have plans in place? when he's the official candidate they need to be clear about what jobs need to be filled, with or without his approval

The colonists disappeared during the Anglo-Spanish War, three years after the last shipment of supplies from England. Their disappearance gave rise to the nickname "The Lost Colony". There is no conclusive evidence as to what happened to the colonists.

Pretty much everyone who's into cars at all, I thinkYeah it's pretty much the end of the DeLorean story.
New to me:
During the Korean War, an experienced identity thief named Ferdinand Demara made his way onto a Royal Canadian Navy Destroyer and impersonated a surgeon. He ended up having to do *a lot* of surgery, including giving one man major chest surgery. He managed to save every patient's life, owing to his incredible memory and regular reading of a medical textbook.
Quite an amazing life, if perhaps not the most responsible one:
