Nuclear power is never a short term solution to anything. It takes at least a decade and probably more like two to plan, build and bring a nuclear power station online at full capacity and you need tens, hundreds, if not thousands depending on the size of your country to replace all the existing coal/oil/gas fired stations that now exist.

When reading this, if I start to highlight the beginning of the sentence with my mouse then move towards or away from the word deviation then the word deviation wobbles left and right.
I thought I was probably hallucinating so got a colleague to check.
Doesn't seem to happen with any other words, or highlighting any other test, and it doesn't happen in the reply screen.
I'm also sure you don't care about any of this, it adds nothing to the discussion, but it was weird (and I'm still not entirely convinced I'm not hallucinating).
Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them.

Actually I am interested in that type of stuff. I've been know to put a lot of markup on my CP posts (on occasion) - but none of there or on the entire post.
I'm on FireFox 42.0 and no problem. Did it do this in other browsers, too?
Likely solution: your equipment's haunted. Can be exorcised with a quick dip in salty water.

The words added, carbon, and forestation on that line are also doing it.
I'm on Firefox 43, I have a habit of highlighting the line I am reading when on the web.
Doesn't happen in IE, doesn't happen unless Firefox is maximised on my left hand screen, although as my right screen is in portrait mode that may be the difference.
I think I'll try some more drugs, see if that helps or makes things worse.

I have one box I updated to FireFox 43 yesterday.
It disabled all of my plugins - the important ones refreshed, but this needed to be done manually. Ghostery, however, has been somewhat broken since the first parameters setup. In particular, I cannot open their options nor go to their blog (to see if others have the same problem). Also, I went to [^] and it was blocked as a security risk.
So - it may even be a FireFox 43 weirdness. [FireFox 42 broke the "BetterPrivacy" plugin for weeks]

Vegemite is the devil's spawn - real men eat marmite.

I love Marmite. We grew up on it in South Africa. However, it is available here in the USA, but somewhat expensive since it is an import from the UK. But we still buy it regularly.
How do we preserve the wisdom men will need,

I buy it from Costco in the UK and bring it back: a catering pack costs less than the smallest jar you can get here. I get 2 - they usually last about a year.

Marmite is what the limp-wristed or those lacking in taste and culture sink.
Vegemite is hallowed by the Gods.
(but even I'm going to mumble an excuse and beg off chocolate and Vegemite)

Pa! Antipodeans have no idea what taste is! That powdery muck you call "vegemite" sounds like it was invented by a vegan - yeeeeuk!

FTFY
The person who invented Vegemite's taste buds must have been shot off in the war...
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

Were you eating the Kiwi Marmite? I tried Vegemite - it was less strong (both in salt and meatyness) than Marmite. I'd assumed some marketing whizz had blended marmite with butter, before I found out it was a different product.
At least we can both laugh at the merkins I suppose - they spread it like jam and think it's disgusting, little knowing it is ambrosia extracted from the brewing gods when eaten correctly.

This story is 7 months old! The product was due for release in July. Was it released? Did anyone buy it?

With a title like that I refuse to open that link, there are some thing that are just too offensive. Besides Promite is the spread of choice!

yeah - its as bad as peanut butter & chocolate (dons flame-proof suit)
On the vegemite vs marmite vs promite wars : Years ago while cycling from Paris to Bruges, we did a brewery tour (as one does  ) and the guide who had sussed out which nationalities were present said (to the effect of)
the sludge on the bottom of the vat is what we call marmite and sell to the Brits
the sludge on the top of the vat is what we call vegemite and sell to the Aussies
(and just then a toilet flushed) and the guide said 'and thats what we sell to the americans'
meh - whatever, different strokes, too religious (and care factor 0) about other people's rants

amazing!
Decrease the belief in God, and you increase the numbers of those who wish to play at being God by being “society’s supervisors,” who deny the existence of divine standards, but are very serious about imposing their own standards on society.-Neal A. Maxwell
You must accept 1 of 2 basic premises: Either we are alone in the universe or we are not alone. Either way, the implications are staggering!-Wernher von Braun
