In Australia the coal and gas industries appear to be pushing nuclear quite hard, mainly because they distract from the renewable options preferred by the market. They know that while we’re arguing over literally every other power source, they can just keep burning holes in the ground.

I’m not sure I completely agree with the number-line-only approach, but I’m definitely sympathetic to it. It reinforces the idea that fractions are numbers like any other numbers, and not pieces of pizza.

Oh, bullshit. Men were happy to commit all sorts of atrocities (more so, in fact) when society only had room for men. If men don’t like the fact they can no longer legally rape their wives, or use, ‘But she burnt my dinner!’ as a reasonable excuse for breaking a woman’s bones, or use , ‘Look at the way she was dressed!’ as an excuse for rape, that’s just tough.

There’s no room for that in our society anymore, and if that sounds like a bad thing, leave.

Isn’t that how the open-source community operates?
