Merry Xmas everyone.
Here's a great post from @sjwrenlewis looking at how we might better understand our level of prosperity, and its relation to #productivity & #inequality - this goes down a slightly different route to my (simpler) preference for GDP per capita, but by including productivity & inequality as central elements of the analysis offers a more nuanced & explanatory approach - thanks Simon; once more insights packaged up clearly & with good data!

@Gargron I hope you don't add it, but if you do, at least give us the option to block quoted posts from people, please.
The 1940s were the Wild West of nuclear physics at Los Alamos. One scientist was doing criticality experiments with a plutonium core where the only tool preventing the beryllium shield from dropping over the core and making it go critical was a screwdriver held in his hand. The screwdriver slipped and the scientist received 10 Grays of radiation. He didn’t live much longer.
Welcome @brianmoore666 I’ve found this a more pleasant place than Twitter. Looking forward to seeing your thoughts on here.

#doddieweir was an inspiration. Rest In Peace. #MND is an awful disease, hopefully Doddie’s legacy will be an increase in research which leads to effective treatments.
I’m new here and thought I’d better introduce myself.
I’m Jim and I work for a company which supplies technical equipment to the festival & event industry. A lot of what we do is temporary power-I’m particularly interested in doing this with environmentally sustainable methods.
I got to this bit of my life via a degree in Physics and Maths and a stint as a touring sound engineer.
I’m also a dad and foster carer. I’m interested in cool power tech, data, interesting people
